Avoid Nacho Daddy. They advertised something like $75 tickets, but when we got there Sunday afternoon they charged us $100 (we paid because we had no where else to go). All you can eat Nacho Bar, but as the game wore on things got colder and less appetizing.

My brother and I had a great time at the Twin Peaks party last year, definitely look into that one. I've heard great things about the Casa di Amore party as well and would have went that route but we liked the food options at Twin Peaks better.
I have to disagree here but it depends on how you do it. My wife loves going to the Wynn/Encore/Cosmo spas. Sure $350-400 is expensive but she'll spend 7-8 hours there enjoying all of the amenities which gives me time to enjoy football at a sports book without worrying about her not having fun. Besides, I can easily lose way more than $400 in 8 hours betting the games and playing video poker haha.
No recriminations from me. They really have lost their way in terms of the value proposition they used to be, particularly on the Strip. They are counting on ever-increasing convention and sports-related business. (In addition to the Knights and Raiders, there are groups trying to bring MLB and NBA teams.)Y'all enjoy Vegas but I think I've had my fill.
I have the PlayMGM app on my phone for when I go. Funded it a couple of years ago and just withdraw part of my winnings (so far I've been lucky) before I leave town.headed to vegas this weekendHas anyone used mobile betting while there? Sometimes the lines at the venetian/palazzo books can be brutal right before kickoff and I'd prefer to just stay at my poker machine or table and make my bets.
Yeah. The group I went with always stayed at the Palazzo (and despite getting a discount, it was $$$) and got (again, at a discount) a couch at Lagasse's. And then they wanted to stay on the Strip for the most part. I kinda feel like a d00sh for not wanting to drop the coin, but I'd rather "high roll" in Santa Barbara and eat and drink like a champ and spend WAY less. Anyways, I'm just here to convince myself I've made a good decision.
I'm with Kev. If my buddies I go with insisted on staying on Strip for the whole trip I'd be out too. This last trip we stayed two of the nights in a Wyndham Condo, went to Top Golf for an afternoon (right across the street), and spent most of our gambling time at Ellis Island, other than Friday night downtown (which was a blast) and Sunday betting and watching football at Palazzo. Nothing wrong with being frugal bud. I'm right there with you.Yeah.

You stayed at the Wyndham Grand Desert. I have mentioned that place here in this thread several times. The suites there are perfect to throw a party-great to have some drinks, order some pizzas, get a case of beer--just super nice and super chill. Staying at a place like that can really help staying on budget as paying "hotel" strip prices for food and drink can get super painful.
Love SB. And St Ynez, for that matter. I definitely do NOT spend less when we go there.Yeah.

Got an acceptable accommodation on upper State Street for $100-ish a night, 2 queens, sharing with a buddy. Will be out drinking and hanging out with old fraternity brothers all day and night, I figure $600 for the weekend including the hotel. Way less than Vegas.Bob Sacamano said:
Hey. I’m in Vegas right now!headed to vegas this weekend
These's an excellent old-school restaurant in the basement of the 4Q. The lady will get a rose, salads are prepared tableside, the works. Call for a reservation if you want to go formal.
Ah yes, Hugo's Cellar. Wife and I went there in September after way too many tiki cocktails at Frankie's. In my stupor, I recall that the ribeye was awesome. Went to Chicago Brewing Co about 3-4 years ago, and I remember that being excellent too.kevzilla said:
For the most part, all the nightclubs are over 40 friendly. If you are a drinker, I'd suggest the Hakkasan VIP Bar card. Hakkasan is one of the top clubs. It's $100, but that includes your cover (at least $40) and then your get $100 worth of drinks.
Did end up booking this. Anyone else going over that weekend? Taking a red-eye back to Charlotte on Monday, going to be fun.
Main stage will be by Caesars, a big NFL Experience in the new Caesar's forum area that is just about to open up, they're doing a big media red carpet thing IN the fountain of Bellagio and shutting down the road down the strip during the day. Debating going, but my initial search shows that room prices are pretty outrageous unless you are willing to stay pretty far off-strip. Caesar's shows zero availability so I assume all the agents and tv people have it booked up. You can find some deals staying farther away (some of which include monorail tickets) but they are predicting something like 700K plus people being down there, good luck getting around or getting a cab I would guess. I can only imagine what table limits and prices are going to be that weekend.
, 2022 not announced, and 2023 Kansas City (might be fun.)
~$220/night including taxes Thurs-Sun downtown (Downtown Grand or The D)
I was looking at standard rooms at the Flamingo or Paris, they still have rates in the $250~low 300+ avg a night range but that’s pretty steep for those rooms compared to most other weekends. You’d be close to the action but it’s going to be crowded for sure.
I was there during that event too. My buddy picked me up at the airport around 5pm on Sunday. Took over an hour to even get close to the strip. We had to park almost a mile from our hotel and weave our way through different groups of runners, through alleys and back lots, just to get to our hotel... all while rolling our luggage along. Completely miserable, though it wasn't crowded once we checked in. I can't imagine what it will be like during the draft.
Smoke On The Blvd cocktail at HK is $$$$. I had two. Best night of my life (as far as I can remember).
Hey Smails. I was just sitting here contemplating the drive. Need to bring in my trash cans in the morning, find a sitter for the dog, then I am free for the weekend. I would enjoy shaking your hand. I stay in a house in Henderson, but am free pretty much any time when there.
Sorry bud - just saw this. At the airport. We’ll be back out in a few months and would love to meet up with a FBG
I'll be there too for March Madness. The only thing this silly virus is going to do is maybe scare some folks away and make it a little easier to get seats in the sports bars.
