Vegas (4 Viewers)

[TxBuckeye]

To each their own. I get raped in BJ (I've never played craps) and usually win fairly big in poker. I also like the social aspect of poker a little more. Blackjack just doesn't do anything for me but I understand that I'm probably in the minority.

Your not. Lots of card players on this board. I don't have anywhere nearby to play so, when I go, poker is my primary reason for being there. Black Jack bores me to tears. I do enjoy craps as a break from the poker room. But poker is the main attraction.

How much are the helicopter tours?

How are the new bj rules on the strip?

 

[soothsayer]

What time does your flight get in?

5:30ish

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Otherwise, grinding poker is the biggest waste of a Vegas trip I can think of.

Agreed.

disagree

nowhere close to play when I'm at home, so trips to Vegas are my main opportunity. Plus, the games there at low stakes are pretty soft, especially on weekends. I can play blackjack and drink anytime I want.

With my ADD, live poker is pretty tedious.

 

[The General]

In. 8/8 - 8/11.

8/12 - 8/15 here. Not trying to make you guys jealous, but I ordered some Celine Dion tickets today. Who needs pool parties and sexy girls in bikinis?

Saw her last year out there. You won't be disapointed.

Did I accidentally log into homoguys.com?

Cab line shouldn't be too bad then. We have an international flight that's scheduled to arrive at 4:20 for its second flight here (last week was the first). First flight got here at 7. If this thing is on time, I'd expect the cab line to be a bit crazier than usual. Sunday is really awful from 2-4 as we have a 777, two 747's and a 330 that get in in between 1:30-3:00.

What do you do, r0llin-game, that you would know all that?

 

[eoMMan]

What do you do, r0llin-game, that you would know all that?

He works for airport I believe.

 

[r0llin_game]

Yup, I do security with a few of the international airlines. There's times when I come in about an hour after a British Airways flight or a Virgin Atlantic flight and can see the cab line is absolutely ravaged with passengers from their flights. I know when I flew on Virgin, it took roughly an hour to go through customs and get our bags.

How much are the helicopter tours?

How are the new bj rules on the strip?

I honestly forget how much it was. I did it a couple years ago. But look around online. I know I found two different prices for the same thing and one was much lower.They picked us up in a limo from the hotel and took us to the airport. We went through some video training stuff and then we hopped in a helicopter and went to the Grand Canyon. Seeing Hoover dam from the sky was cool. The helicopter landed at the bottom of the canyon and we had a picnic/champagne lunch. Then it was back in the copter and back to Vegas.

I think it took about 3-4 total hours. Really good time.

ETA: try to do the evening one because they fly down the strip at the end and it's awesome when the lights are on.

 

[kutta]

The Venetian would be my choice. I've stayed at most of the hotels on this list, and the Venetian is the best one. The standard room is great. The poker room is awesome. And the restaurants are top notch - I've had awesome meals at Bouchon and Delmonico's. And the Grand Lux Cafe is open 24 hours and has some pretty darn good breakfast.

February rates should be pretty good so it's worth staying at a nice place like the Venetian.

Venetian is nice, but also owned by Sheldon Adelson.

But man I love that place...

 

[belljr]

One of our best vacations was at the venetian

 

[parasaurolophus]

Touchdown in Vegas on Sunday. Getting pumped. I typically go 1-3 times per year and I always get all moist just ahead of the trip.

PSA - I stumbled upon a site called Vegas Rover (vegas rover dot com) that is sort of like a coupon book for Vegas without coupons. I purchased a card (looks like a slot club card) that I can use for deals at a variety of casinos. As of today it is good primarily downtown but sounds like some strip properties will be added soon - it's a startup and they seem to be building steam quickly. Anyway, some examples of the deals I'm going to use on this trip:

- $25 match play at The D

- BOGO room rate at The D

- $20 tickets to see Purple Reign at the D

- $15 match play at Ellis Island

- $50 slot loss instant rebate at Ellis Island

The above is easily going to cover the cost of the card for me on just my first visit. If you visit even a couple of times per year it seems like a great deal. I guess I'll find out during this trip if it's easy to use and truly worth it. I'm not a big coupon clipper or anything but somehow Vegas Rover caught my eye.

It's also worth noting that The D has been very aggressive and savvy in the last couple of years. Owner Derek Stevens has made it a priority to get connected via SoMe and podcasts like FiveHundyByMidnight. I listen to that podcast which is where The D originally caught my ear. I know the Fitzgerald was always known as a dump - hoping The D is completely different.

Disclaimer - I am not affiliated with Vegas Rover or The D in any way - I am simply a new customer to both who is hoping they're worth the time. Just passing the info about them along here in case anyone else sees value. I'll report back post-trip on my stay at the D and my use of the Rover card in case anyone is interested.

I don't get it. I looked at this site and it looks like garbage. What am I missing?

Hi, I'm Sonny Lubick Blowup Doll from the internet and I kind of know the guy that helped get you your hookups and stuff for this trip. His name is Icon on the fantasy football message board we hang out at and he's good at organizing stuff and he likes to party and also loves Asianed chicks and boy, so do I! He said where you guys would be so don't find this creepy or anything but I just happen to be in town and wanted to say hi, what are all your names?!

just booked for FFPC (9/4-7). Can't wait.

When did ya go / what didn't ya like? Thursday it's the best spot in town from what I've heard (smaller pool so gets more lively).

It's nothing compared to EBC/Wet/Daylight on weekends for sure (agreed)... but the Bride of that group wanted to hit Liquid so they're doing that. Plus Kaz is hooking them up pretty sweet with the other comped stuff at Gold/Chateau.

If I can get off Kauai before the hurricanes, I'll be there Friday - Monday. Or are you talking about Memphis??? That's not til October.

a little too small for the price. Plus I felt a little too closed in with the walls if that makes sensenot sure what day we went but we didn't stay too long.

Never eaten at battista's, but FWIW we have had several cab drivers say it is very good. It seems like every time we get in a cab and drive past tgey make a point to mention it.

 

[dhockster]

Anyone stay at the Cromwell yet? I am curious if it worth the high price to stay.

Going to Vegas in early September, my travel buddy is staying there with rewards points.

 

[r0llin_game]

Did the High Roller a couple of months ago. I enjoyed it, probably better to do it at night as I did it around sunset. I liked it better than the London eye. Thought having the mountains as a back drop was pretty awesome.

 

[Sonny Lubick Blowup Doll]

What's the High Roller and London Eye? Also, any idea what the airport will be like around 2PM tomorrow? Jet Blue terminal, wherever that is.

In. 8/8 - 8/11.

8/12 - 8/15 here. Not trying to make you guys jealous, but I ordered some Celine Dion tickets today. Who needs pool parties and sexy girls in bikinis?

Celine show is off. Her delicate voice needs rest.

On the bright side, hopefully I'm hetero again.

High Roller(Vegas) and London Eye are giant Ferris Wheels. I think the one in Vegas fits something like 40 people per pod. Can't help you with the airport.

The site does look like garbage but that isn't really the point (though it will hurt them in getting new customers, I agree). I'm back from my trip and used the deals I listed in the original post. It was easy to use and the deals were pretty good I thought. I'll post more about my trip when I have time - just getting my bearings again.

[Sonny Lubick Blowup Doll]

Yeah, super mellow, the airport. That terminal is great, whichever one it is...

Typing from the toilet before I go to this "meet n greet" with Lynyrd Skynyrd, which just kind of fell into my lap while I was here. Excited to see them play.

I HEART VEGAS!

Any feedback on the glitter gulch in downtown? Bachelor party next weekend...not looking to spend a ton but some research shows lap dances 2:1 over Rhino or sapphire with less attractive girls?

We should have 12-15 guys but I'd say only a few of us will be big spenders so trying to find the best bang for the buck

I've been there. More than once.

Does your crew like going to dive bars? Seedy, borderline scary places that can be a blast as a group? Then Glitter Gulch may be for you. Otherwise, you have better strip clubs in your hometown, go to one of them. Spend your Vegas time drinking and commandeering cheap craps tables.

Heard from a buddy to stay away. Really low end.

Same time I want nothing to do with the Rhino or Sapphire, way too expensive these days.

Thinking a mid range place like Cheetahs

Can you give a report since you posted this a few weeks ago?

They basically scammed the bachelor out of $300

Girl told him his friends paid for VIP dance...I thought it was fishy when a second girl game by and wanted money to double up on him

We told her he was fine and to get lost but she went anyway

He argued but bouncers demanded $300 so we left right after

Girls were kind of thick too, although I'm not opposed to some girls

We were gonna try Rhino next night but everyone was wasted by like 5 PM

I went for a bachelor party in July and we had a great time. Called ahead, got a limo bus to pick us up... got walked in and to a private booth area with no wait or cover. Ordered a couple bottles and had ladies in our laps before we could be seated. I'm not a big lap-dance guy but we sent the bachelor back a few times and a few guys got dances at the booth. We all had a great time BS'ing with the girls and drinking in the meantime. =

It was relatively early in the evening so perhaps at 2am it's jammed but we never felt crowded or like the crowd was full of chuckleheads. I guess If you're looking to sit in a half empty club without any guys around there are options, but you're likely not going to have very attractive girls working in a place that's not got a crowd.

Ditto here. Don't know what goes on in the back (only sent the bachelor back there) but 20 bones for a lap dance ain't bad given what they let you do at the Rhino. That's one hand of blackjack.
