Lance and Dolores Vegas Vacation!

[Pekka]

Who are you kidding. I know you're just posting here 'yeah let's meet then and there' and then you go 'hey Dolores, come on here check out this thread! Nice folks here..'. So now you have an alibi. No one really comes to Vegas. Except for two things; booze/drugs and stippers/prostitutes. This I know.

So, why are you getting yourself an alibi? I'm worried, I think you should really think about this twice..

I"m always here- except this week I have relatives coming in and will be travelling to California.

We're staying at the Mandalay Resort. It's got its own ocean or something...

The show is an ABBA clone group thing that Dolores wants to see.

Still, it's got its own ocean.

The show she is talking about is called Mamma Mia. The kind of show chicks will definately love.

Dissident, California? We all know LA is the porn capital of the world! SO I think it's only natural that when you get out of Las Vegas, you go to harder drugs and even harder porn. Relatives? Yeah, sure.

Yeah Jon. That's more than 13,000 philippine pesos.

Vegas isn't as cheap as I thought. The room is $99 a night, and nothing special. Not a suite... Somehow I was under the impression that they made it on the gambling and gave breaks elsewhere, but.

This used to be the case.

Casinos used to offer the rooms for free.

But they got greedy. Also too many people would stay in the rooms for free, but go to other casinos to gamble.

The casino might give rooms for free, if they could prevent people from leaving their place and going to others. But I doubt you will ever see free rooms in my city again.

they also have many national parks. My Aunt wants to see Death Valley for some reason. Also Sequioa national park. Probably won't have time to see anything else.

Keep talking cryptic.. I can decode it. Midgets, handcuffs, piercings and armpit licking you say? What ever is your meal I guess..

[Lancer]

"And I'll be camping with friends...no hotel." Well, I'm fairly certain I can bring a guest or two through security to go for a swim in the hotels ocean. I mean they have to feed the sharks sometime. Think about it, if your trip isn't what you hoped for then put the petal to the metal and camp nearby. You can use our shower, and don't forget dinner is on me.

Btw, thanks for the link, nice room.

Pekka, how dare you talk about strippers/prostitutes in my thread without giving addresses!?!

Dissident, lets have a few drinks and post some dumb pictures! Or have a few drinks and not post dumb pictures, that might be fun too. Interested? So far I've briefly met Sten and also SuperSneak a couple of times. Both great people, meeting Poly folks is great fun. A face to the personalities, or something like that. I've been reading your posts since someone mentioned you were in Vegas.

That's not the week you have to travel is it?

[Japher]

Death Valley and Sequoia... not exactly neighbors are they? Have fun driving all over the place...

Madalay Bay is nice... It's the one on "Vegas" (the TV show) they pretend to be... Pricy tabels though. Go to Paris, Mirage (play with the Tigers) or MGM for better... Lots to do besides gamble there. Clubs and shows... I saw ABBA's Mama Mia in SF, it was good. Also, it's not an ABBA "clone", I don't think ABBA ever performed the musical. It was put together by them using their songs though.

Have fun, I love Vegas, but can only afford to go about once a year... My family is going the weekend before you, and I had to bow out as I am broke and going to Conn. the weekend after.

[Lancer]

What do you mean by pricey tables, Japher? Minimum bet?

Years back when I won my $150 in Atlantic city, it was on a $2 table. When I lost my $20 in Vegas it was a $5 table and I played only 4 hands, losing every one. I prefer the $2 table because you can survive a short bad streak even when only playing w/ $20.

Do the places you mentioned have any $2 tables for us cheap folk?

[Japher]

Most tables these days are $5 during the day and $10 bucks at night. It's really hard to find $2 tables at any of the big casinos anymore. Yet, at some of the S. Stip casinos they still have $5 at night, but will be packed, and they might have $2 during the day.

As long as you demonstrate you are gambling there, rooms, food, drinks, and shows are still free.

It's been over 20 years since I paid for a room in Vegas.
95% of the meals have been free too. The only ones that weren't were those were we just forgot(or were to lazy) to get it comped or wandering in to a different casino that we weren't KNOWN at.
I will admit that it's harder (damn near impossible) to get golf free now and they're less willing to fly you out.
You have to be a BIG roller for those treats, but free rooms are still available for the modest gamblers.

RAH
Allways look for the freebies.

[Lancer]

Japher, is the Mandalay on the north or south, do you know? Thanks for letting me pick your brains.

'rah', I take it you're mostly known at the Luxor? I'd think they would definately comp a diety... Honestly I'm not much for investing $ establishing a reputation as a gambler in order to get comp meals, though I'm sure that's considered by those heavily involved as a side benefit of the gaming itself. I'll go my usual $20, and if I get rich, great. At least I won't get poor.

Any chance you could be convinced to be there while we're there? Why not drop everything and fly out? You know I'd do the same.

Going to try any poker down there in Vegas, Lancer?
