Have a blast!
A little busy right now give me till tonight tomorrow at the latest and I'll give you some suggestions. One thing your coming in May for anything special or just a getaway with wife.
One question for now do you know the dates or end of month beginning or middle
I see you said anytime I'll go from there
Signature is nice, but they do not comp the room if you have any gamblers. Mother-in-law is a huge slot ploppy; Maybe $5000 churn per day on $1 slots. She got nothing off the room because signature does not comp rooms.
I have not played the GC, and I'm sure I could get comped or at least reduced. It's about $500/round. As you can probably see from my last post to BiggT, we split up the trip for two nights at each place. That sounds weird, but you can really keep the costs down and you get to have two different experiences. I'm a $25/50 BJ player, and can get about two nights comped/casino rate, so each one gives me a shot at two nights. Both Bellagio and Wynn are terrific. Can't go wrong at either place, or at both!
April is a good time to go it's one of the two months for the best weather the other is Oct April it's tax time and Easter break and family's take there kids else where. Family's also go to Vegas but any Dealer or Casino worker will tell you It's one of the two slowest months of the year. It has improved with slot tournaments and Blackjack tournaments but the Dealers get a lot of extra days off and tokes are usually down. The good places will appreciate your business.Your going in May and that's a great month to go and so is June.
Pool Time if you like. Lets first consider the Golden Nugget downtown it's a strip hotel located downtown. without being over-price If you betting baseball you have access to about 7 different places to bet if your going on the weekend usually free bands on the Fremont street with great band. the bands put on some killer shows I'm not talking about bands you haven't heard of you get names People just party. Have a drink with the ex mayor and I forget the name of the place but he's usually there with his Bombay in his hands somebody will show you it's right there.they now have Zip lining and the best is in May it's warm enough to go and use the Nugget pool and swim right next to the sharks. They also have a streak house there I forget the name I believe it's named Anthony's. The best it's a short ride to the strip by cab or car straight down Las Vegas Blvd. You get bang for you buck.
If you of who's ever with you plays the slots or Video Poker Downtown is where you want to play. It's a fact there looser machines.
Go to the Golden nugget web site and take a look it's gorgeous. I don't work anymore and I haven't worked at the Nugget since 2000 but I know one or two people there might be able to get you a few drinks maybe a buffet. Doesn't sound like much and it really isn't but the town has changed a very big change but if your a player I'll tell you what to do. But I'll give you a name anyway.
Tomorrow will touch on the strip. Higher prices, grumpy dealers who expect if you play to toke, tighter machines. but it has it's perks also that downtown doesn't. talk to you tomorrow. Don't forget the web site. When it gets closer and you have questions Edward will give you my email address and I'll answer your questions the best I can.
Everytime I go to Vegas I stay at harrahs. Never had to pay a dime for all the times I've stayed there over the years!
I'm from Quincy, Illinois, 135 miles from St.L
I believe it's called "Oscars Steakhouse" or close to that and it's at the Plaza, upstairs in the front. He has lots of showgirls hanging out in the bar area, he calls them "hostesses" but my buddy told me that if they sit with you they expect to be tipped like at a strip club. Beautiful room, terrible service.
We went in October and saw Garth Brooks. If you like country music or him it's great. Pricey but worth it.
Also I'd recommend lunch at the Paris at Mon Ami Gabi with the ladies. Ask to sit outside. Great people watching. Grab a drink and a good prime rib sandwich.
My buddy also runs a scooter tour company. (scoot city tours) They do an early morning tour on the strip and one through Red Rock Canyon. They are 3 wheel cars, 2 person, and they are fun to drive. You drive them right on the strip and check out different landmarks or up in Red Rock where the scenery is amazing.
Had dinner at Paris seating outside, agree people watching was fun. Will check out the Red Rock scooter tour, my sis lives in Vegas and she is always going to Red Rock.
Can't say that name rings a bell. The Quincy Blue Devils have always been good in hoops and on & on in football.
