how old are you? That's a really good zinger if you're like 6. If you're any older than that, you're obviously special needs.

Stop pretending Newbie.

Use the code HOTEL5 to get a $5 discount online for a 3 day unlimited monorail ticket.

 

Dude named Michael has a Craigslist ad for the David Copperfied show at MGM. $50 for the $120 seats.

We had great seats last week & the wifey went on stage to help on one of the illusions. Focking cool show.

 

Huddle House a Go Go at the Linq was pretty damn good. You can split a meal there and still need to waddle away from the table.

 

If you've never been- I suggest taking Airport Shuttle to your hotel. Way cheaper than a cab- might be cheaper than Uber.

Is there a chance the track could bend?

Bend but don't break

[patweisers44 697]

the place in the LInq is called Hash House a Go Go. Or at least I thought it was.... but the food is good.

 

If you like Nachos, hit up Diablos. Its on the strip on the walk between NY/NY and Monte Carlo.

You are correct- I focked up- Hash House a GoGo-

Might have to wait, but it's good.

 

And get the monorail tickets soon- the sale expires soon, but the tickets are good for one year.

O/U on the number of times you hear this in Vegas?

Not on your life my Hindu friend.

If you end downtown on Fremont Street- Freakmont Street-

Binons' used to be the Horsehoe-

There's a Tony Roma's in there where you can grab prime rib, baked potatoe & veggie for $9.95 from 3to 6 or something like that. Not great, but not a bad quick meal.

Sign up for their players club at Binons- it was the only place where we actually got any kind of bonus.

They have some low key $5 blackjack tables where I taught the wife how to play. Was less stress than downtown for a beginner.

 

 

 

There's a zip line over Fremont Street-

Be warned- it's a damn freak show after dark.

[frank 2,144]

I'm not looking this up, but a couple of friends went recently and saw something called pen1s puppetry. Somewhere in town was a show where dudes on stage tie their dongs into balloon animals or something like that.

i am expecting a daily report!

Yeah the lines to get in can get focking crazy but it's well worth the wait,of course if you happen to be a diamond member with Caesars you get to cut line.

Vegas was awesome. Did a lot of the 'touristy' things you'd expect of someone who's never been there. Ate a few times at the House of Blues in the Mandalay Bay. Simply because it was convenient and in our hotel.

Had drinks and a bite to eat at Cabo Wabo. Saw the fountain show at Bellagio a couple different times. Including once at night which was beautiful. Went on the High Roller, which was great. We spent Sunday on Fremont Street. That was quite an experience. Some good people watching there. LOL also zip-lined for the first time in my life over Fremont Street.

Caught the cirque de sole Michael Jackson show Saturday night. That gave me the chills. The choreography and acrobatics were unbelievable.
