Just recently returned from my second trip to Vegas.

Went in February for the first time, then again in August.

We stayed Downtown on Fremont Street again at the Golden Nugget.

Swam in the pool at The Tank in Golden Nugget and went down the slide through the aquarium.

Casino count this time around was 27.

Palazzo (Not 100% sure we made it inside this one but if we did, we didn't play)
Casino Royale (No play but the buy 1 get 1 free Ben and Jerry's sundaes were good)

Going back in March if anyone wants to fly along out of Columbus.

I'm moving to that fair city in December!

Actually gonna go back the end of February, not March.

Fly out Thursday 2-24 and return Tuesday 3-1.

Round trip with 4 hour non stop flight both ways on Southwest Airlines is around 270.00 per person.

No bag fees.

Rooms are 50.00-60.00 a night if ya want your own room.

You can make it 5 days on 500.00-600.00 spending money for food, gambling, bus, gifts, and etc if you play it smart.

And you can't take advice from rich people like BigAppleBuckeye and go rollin into the Spearmint Rhino as he always suggests.

Anyone wanna go?

I'd like to live there but it's currently ranked the most depressed city and I believe that.

Even being there as a tourist is depressing at times, especially if you aren't winning shit. LOL!

A great city to be a man.

I've done my research. California is not far behind in the depressed department. It sounds ridiculous, but I still want to enjoy In N Out Burger.

WWE's Sheamus on the bull at Gilley's.


Are you ready?


Me taking my wife out on Springer.

I've been to Vegas many times but only on business trips. Only gambled once. I had one nickle in my pocket and there happened to be a row of nickel slots in the convention center hallway. I put the nickle in the first machine and walked away $5 "richer."

I do enjoy Vegas shows and food. I also enjoyed riding the indoor roller coaster at New York New York.

Have a good time!

No way I could go to Vegas with only 5 or 600 for 5 days, that's crazy talk!! So did u end up on top?? What do you play??

Just got back from my bachelor party in Vegas last week (my 11th trip to Vegas). My boys really did it right:

*Private poker table at the Palms for our crew
*VIP cabana at the Palms "Ditch Friday" pool party, followed by a Snoop Dogg concert at the pool deck
*VIP bottle service/couch upstairs at Ghost Bar
*Dinner at the N9NE Steakhouse (amazing bone-in filet mignon, truffle gnocchi and cabernet)
*Booth and bottle service at Spearmint Rhino
*Booth and bottle service at Olympic Garden

My body is still banged up!

I may be doing a weekend trip to Vegas later this year. Its about a 7 hour drive from where I live. Gotta stay out of the Spearmint Rhino this time, though. That cost me way to damn much money last time.

If you do go, do a pop-in before committing. We went, but the cops had raided the Rhino a few days before they got there, and none of the dancers were permitted to touch the customers ... WTF???!! Needless to say, we bailed and got bottle service at the OG, which was a blast (although the girls aren't as good).

No, seriously, I don't have the money or the desire to spend money at those places. I went with a buddy of mine last time, its the only time I have ever been to a strip joint, I have no desire to go back.

Oh, check out the Gold and Silver Pawn shop if you'd like. Its on the strip up by Fremont street. Its cool if you watch the show, but a lot of the store is t-shirt and stuff. Still cool to walk in, though.

Ill be heading to Vegas for the second time in about 9 months. My cousin is getting married just outside of Salt Lake City, so its a good excuse to fly into Vegas for 3/4 days.

Unfortunately, this trip will likely involve family. This is bad for several reasons, but does equate to free food and free drinks before they go to bed lol

Where exactly outside of Salt Lake?

Moab. Her Fiancee has lived in SLC since he graduated. The wedding is being held in some resort either in Moab or just outside of it

Cool, but I wouldn't call Moab just outside of Salt Lake. 240 miles is a long way.

well when you are coming from Ohio, its just outside lol.

I see what you did there...

Bought my tickets a couple of days ago for Vegas this December. Go once a year... strictly blackjack, but the tables are getting worse every year, between odds, automatic shufflers that I despise, high minimum bets in the evenings (only time I get to play due to work requirements), and not as many blackjack tables available anymore... But, I still love the town in short 5 day stints... LOL

Incredible dining opportunities in this city! I'm all in!
