Off to Vegas

#1 Post by BackInTex » Fri Sep 19, 2008 11:14 am

I'll be in Vegas late Saturday through Thursday.

Who do we have here that still resides there?

I'm attending a conference at Caesar's Palace (and staying there as well).

I'll have free time Sunday morning and Monday night.

So who wants to show me the loose slots?

I'm on a corner in Fayetteville.

Oh--SLOTS!!! My bad.

Not at Caesar's, that's for sure. Try off-Strip for that....
Okay, who's next?

I think greedphee still lives in Vegas, but I don't recall how long it's been since she's visited the Bored.

Brad, be sure and visit The Shadow Bar while you are at CP. It is a very fun place and one of my favorites. Also, don't lose your map of the property. Due to it's many expansions, CP is somewhat of a maze.

Wish I could help on the loose sluts...um...slots, but I don't do 'em. Uly likes anyplace with 25 cent Double Poker, which you can find just about anywhere.

I play table games myself. Last time I was there I did extremely well playing a carnival poker game called "Crazy 4 Poker". Wide swings up and down, you just have to remember to leave when the pendulum swings up. Just wasting time? Give Pai Gow Poker a shot...lots of pushing, so a modest stake of $100 can last you quite a while (although I have had bad streaks where $100 will last me about 10 minutes!).

And if you've never played Craps, don't start....it's INCREDIBLY addictive, the most fun game you can play. Great odds, too, if you play reasonably, but if you're not careful you'll suddenly realize you've been playing for 24 hours straight....it's the crack of gambling (and I absolutely LOVE it).

If you like sushi, head over to the Rio (there are shuttles from Caesars) and go to the all-you-can-eat sushi bar. Very good stuff. If Italian is more your style, my personal favorite is Canaletto in the Canal Shops at the Venetian. And Mon Ami Gabi's good, too.

Make sure to stop into the MGM Grand and see the lion habitat. And spend some time watching the fountains outside the Bellagio. And if you're into rollercoasters, there's Manhattan Express at NY/NY and Speed at the Sahara.

I also love the dueling pianos show at Harrah's. Mucho fun.

Have a great trip!
