Because it's my birthday the desk guy gave us a free upgrade.
King suite on 23rd floor, tv in bathroom mirror, perfect view of bellagio fountains

Flamingo is very customer friendly. I have been upgraded there a few times

A "must" read for anyone going to Vegas.

This guy was playing on the street and I bought a cd after enjoying some nice tunes.

Biggest disappointment was Margaritaville. Food was downright bad and the band they had playing would never be allowed on a stage in Portland. Second worst was Haggen Dazs where for $8.50 I got 2 ping pong sized scoops of very mushy ice cream which didn't taste at all like Haggen Dazs ice cream.

Vinny Favorito was fun, the Flamingo treated us very well in every way, NY NY looked like a good place to stay also. Dennis Rodman was at the Forum Mall at Caesars but not the day we went there.

Lost $7 on the penny slots but won $18 at the sports book thanks to the Blazers. My wife was up about $55 but lost about half of it before she cashed out. We're not big gamblers.

This lady won $1,200,000 on the Wheel of Fortune slot at The Flamingo the night we arrived.

NYNY is a little dingy according to the people I've known that have stayed there. There are better spots in that price range. Supposedly the pub that is inside is pretty decent but not exactly Vegas.

Not surprised you didn't dig Margaritaville. Should've said something before. It is designed to attract the intimidated mom and dad crowd. Giant theme restaurant where the less adventurous can go and have a drink. I would bet most people there are staying in the attached hotel or very close by. That or they just really like Jimmy Buffett.

It was very unAmerican of you to go to Vegas. And to fly there? Shame on you. Any real American goes to Reno, and drives there, via the best freeway system in the world. I would have thought you, of all people, would have known the truth about Beautiful Southern Nevada.

shit, you're a big baseball fan. Pete Rose is always at that memoribilia store in Cesars palace selling autographs for $25....is really really really...sad.

Lynn Swann was there when we were there last time but I didn't recognize him. I don't think anyone else did either because he looked bored.

Been to Reno, by car and travel trailer, a few years ago. Great sightseeing trip, Virginia City, Lake Tahoe...

Vegas trip was a BD present from my wife, and we didn't really have the extra 2 days to drive due to some RE clients I'm working with right now.
