Yeah we should probably get to a show of some sort, last time we saw Zumanity and we've seen a few Cirque ones over the years. My wife wants to go to the Rupaul's Drag Race show (I'm not against it, I've just read you don't necessarily get the top/highest billed performers a lot of the time which makes me a bit meh on it)
also, with the raiders being out of town that weekend that area of the strip shouldn't be as packed and I'd guess ticket prices will be down compared to a weekend with them in town.
It's the When We Were Young music festival weekend (Green Day, Blink-182 etc), I'm not sure how that will impact things/if anyone has experience there during one of those events. I do know it's long sold out and the hotel prices were very high for Friday/Saturday/Sunday.
Going to lunch here today.
I should have mentioned this before but the shark move seems to be to grab one of those bike taxi people if you can or walk over to S Procyon and w ali baba and snag an uber from there, we did the latter since there were 4 of us and we were headed back to the Flamingo.Crowds on south Strip after Raiders games confirmed. On Monday night, the plug of humanity trying to cross the I-15 on Hacienda was moving so slow I could feel my soul being drained from my body. Then I was able to hang a left and pass hundreds of people behind Luxor and Excalibur, before straight-up jaywalking across Tropicana to NYNY, where I got a Lyft back downtown. Rideshare was $55 each way.
I'm heading to Vegas tomorrow for work and just saw the Raiders were playing at home against the New York Giants. So no only do I have to deal with the crowds, there will be a **** ton of New Yorkers. Great....Crowds on south Strip after Raiders games confirmed.

Have dinner at Andiamo’s at the D
If you're with a group... even just two dudes... hit up Flight Club at Venetian. I'm not that into darts, but Flight Club was probably our favorite stop on my last trip. Very classy place with outstanding cocktails. And there are like 10 different dart games (like Shoots and Ladders dart style) to choose from. The entire experience was a huge surprise.
I just read about that place this morning and it's definitely up there for some where to hang sunday after top golf. I'm trying to decide between the cocktail bar in the ventian or walking down to the tilted kilt to watch the main UFC card which will be over lapping with the Niners game.
nice, I tried to get a few from our group to play sunday morning but alas they would rather spend saturday morning (1am-3am) at the strip club
Ha, priorities!nice, I tried to get a few from our group to play sunday morning but alas they would rather spend saturday morning (1am-3am) at the strip club
hopefully the rain forecast holds true and doesn't mess with your rounds at all.
Flight Club is insanely popular over here, I'm not surprised that this has happened, it makes great sense from a commercial perspective - our poker school has been looking to book it here but it's booked up months in advance, although obviously we have a board where we actually play if we want to play somewhat seriously (as does Vegas, at least the pub where I watched one of England's games at a noon Vegas time kickoff had a board I could throw at, can't recall exactly where but it was a quick Uber to the pinball museum where it was in 2019 so I want to say somewhere on Tropicana?)
Agree with all of this. Just saw that MGM is raising resort fees again for all of their properties. Pure robbery. As is 6/5 blackjack and 3 zero roulette. I refuse to play those. Pit boss told me "somebody has to pay for those drinks you are having" as the reason odds changed for the worse. Give me a break. I understand the Vegas tax on restaurants and accept it. And love the Circa. Most friendly playing environment I've seen. Fun. Couple that with some of the better value you get with downtown restaurants like Andiamo and it makes sense to get there at least for a night or two.
Looks like a few places still do it, but be prepared to bet up to $100 per spin.
. On the plus side I was feeling slightly better and just dropped my backpack off at the luggage storage and walked around the strip for a few hours.
I've also been doing Vegas every year since I was in my 20's and share many views after a recent Vegas boys trip. It seems like what I've always enjoyed about Vegas is becoming less common or more expensive. I love the ability to bounce from place to place, people watch on the strip, day drink without judgement from others and have a few sessions at BJ or craps with strangers from around the country/globe while having a few drinks.
yesterday afternoon harrah's had $5 minimums for ultimate hold 'em and $10 for black jack which is pretty damn low. Even saturday night it was all under $20 with the exception of pai gow, sure the food is expensive but there are plenty of places mid strip to still play without being a high roller.
That's good news I guess. I haven't been to Vegas in like 10 years. If I go back I definitely prefer not to see 50 dollar minimums everywhereyesterday afternoon harrah's had $5 minimums for ultimate hold 'em and $10 for black jack which is pretty damn low.

Yuck. My flight Monday was delayed a couple of hours, landed in MN at 1:30 am and I got to bed at 3:00. Also feeling a little under the weather. Weather was not great for golf but we still managed to play. I love Circa but man is downtown a ####show. The little black circles where they put the crazies is so strange. Seems like a ton of homeless and/or mentally ill wandering around at all times. We had live music right below our room at the D pounding until 2:30 am. Everything smelled so much like weed. Maybe I’m just old. A seat in the Circa sportsbook was $200 for the divisional playoffs so we just sat and stood nearby. Played $5 tables at the Nugget. I guess these days I prefer to stay at a higher end place and not wander much. Just seems like so many crazies everywhere.just got back as well, stayed at the venetian and their new sportsbook is pretty nice but $50 a hand of black jack was ridiculous. Walked down to harrahs/linq area and gambled down there for $15 a hand and watched the UFC fights at the tilted kilt. Top Golf sunday for the first half of the Lions game followed by a trip to the Four Queens for $5 a hand black jack but at that point things were no longer going good for me health wise. I took a covid test saturday morning before flying and was negative but I was slowly feeling sicker as time went by so I headed back to the room where I promptly fell a sleep at 5 in the afternoon and woke up at 5 yesterday morning.
Then the real fun started as my 130pm flight got cancelled and I was rebooked on to a 9pm flight, after a phone call I was able to get on a 530pm flight which was promptly delayed 2 hours

Durango is pretty sweet. A lot of energy in that place. The sportsbook has a modern and open vibe and the food court looks amazing. I didn’t get to eat there—but I enjoyed the few hours I gambled there when I was there a few weeks back. Red Rock is also nice and worth checking out. If you have a bit of extra time when you go to the resort—you should also go ahead and check out Red Rock Canyon. It’s minutes from the resort and it’s beautiful. You have to pay per vehicle to get it—and even if you don’t hike—there are lots of spots where you can pull off the road and park your car and enjoy some beautiful views.
depends which book and how many people
Circa for sure. It would have the best atmosphere also since Derek Stevens is from the Detroit area.
If you don’t know they all have one, then that’s on you
ummmm, ok??
There are a few that don’t. Cosmo still doesn’t I think (although it’s not cheap). I think the D downtown. 4 Queens, Casino Royale. Nothing really close to MGM I don’t think
Excalibur
Downtown....golden Nugget ...binions....4 Queens
