Trip Report 3/29 - 4/2

Flew Allegiant out of Peoria, IL. Awesome airport to fly out of. ';You a terrorist?'; ';No sir'; ';Okay go head then.'; Last hour of flight was rough, Nervous flyer but several whiskeys did the trick.

Tried the $20 trick at the Flamingo. Had booked Deluxe room, they were willing to upgrade me to Luv Tub room for addtl $30 per night. Been married 22 years, there will be no luv in the tub. Great move as we only spent an average of 6 hrs in room each day. Stained carpet with cigarette burns but no bed bugs...I checked. Very quiet as there were a lot of fossils staying on our floor.

After check in we went to Ellis Island as I read great reviews. Major let down. Tight VP and $5 single deck BJ table which paid even odds on BJ! Tried to tell me what a great deal it was cuz they would pay me double on a diamond suit BJ. NO thanks, cashed and left. Great hot dog at the next door 7-11. Stopped at Bill%26#39;s on the way home, found a 5 cent VP machine and won $120! Not bad for a nickel.

Next morning got the spouse up at 5:30pm, she was none to happy and said I may have a small gambling problem. Bought 24 hour pass and rode the Deuce to Slots of Fun, played $2 BJ and won $55, Pit Boss said she would rate me if I wanted to play $5 a hand. Too cheap. Who wants to stay at Circus Circus anyway although I love kids...if there cooked right. Anyway, gave most of it back to VP. Little Advice: always watch a few hands prior to sitting down at a table as stupid players can cost you $. From Slots we Deuced Downtown and hit the El Cortez for the first X ever. Forget the great reviews, this place sux. Don%26#39;t mind losing my $ss, but at least provide me with some free beers while I am doing it. Slow and unfriendly service. $3.25 per beer in this dive! Hit all the other DT casinos and had a great X. Much more fun to gamble DT then on the Strip. Exhausted and in bed at 11:30pm

Up at 5:10 the next morn, shoot, shower and a shave and off to Bills where I hit my VP machine. Won enough for breakfast. Service and food were just OK. Hit Flamingo and Ballys with no luck and then Deuced it DT. Note to self: Ditch the Deuce and take the tram when traveling the Strip, definitely worth the extra $2 and a lot less stressful %26amp; time consuming. Ate at Hennesseys (sp?) Tavern (The Pint) which was a total rip off. Order of hot wings $9.95 for 5 wings which were bloody inside. Waitress took them back, took off the tab, but never asked if I wanted more? $5 beers, WTF? Wife did well on Butterfly slots at one of the bead casinos. Great service, strong drinks and people who could be their own father. Good times!

Back on Deuce to Slots O Fun. Played BJ with 6 Canadians and had a beauty of a time, Ay! Those boys can drink some beer. 20 oz Miller Lites for a $1. Lost $50 but Slots is a hoot.

Next day, got up a little later due to the $1 beers at S.O.F. the night before, hit the Flamingo buffet. Pass this below average meal up. Walked thru the garden with the fish and birds. Very cool, must see. Laid out at pool and then Deuced to Sahara. My spousal unit did well on the Wheel of Fortune game. She was due! Worked (walked) our way back to Flamingo hitting every casino on the way. Did OK @ Casino Royal. $1 Michelob and well drinks. Nice. From Flamingo, we monorailed to MGM %26amp; went to Hooters for wings. Very busy but food was good. Lost #ss in VP. Signed up and got the $100 free slot pull. Obviously nobody wins but the coupon book you get is definitely worth it. Great deals on food, lodging, etc. Trammed back to Flamingo and played one last X at Bills winning $31. Hit 4 of a kind 2 out of 3 hands, went to bed at 1:00am.

Up at 4:15am for 7:50 flight. What moron booked this departure time? Slept most of the way home. Have already received free room promo from Harrahs via email. I Love Vegas!

Trip Report 3/29 - 4/2

Great report Blago. Thanks for the tip on Hooters, will definately check that out for the free slot pull and coupon book.

';got the spouse up at 5:30pm, she was none to happy';

LOL. Even though you obviously meant am, the thought of someone being ticked off with a 5:30pm wakeup call is pretty funny.

';Up at 4:15am for 7:50 flight. What moron booked this departure time?';

I know what you mean. It%26#39;s only taken me 7 trips to Vegas to finally book a later flight home.

Nice post Blago,

Chalk one up for us beer guzzling Canadians!!!

I%26#39;m headed down on the 13th, and will hit Hooters and get that coupon book.

Cheers

I really enjoy a trip report that makes me laugh...good job and sounds like you had fun.

If you buy the ACG there%26#39;s a coupon in the back for when you sign-up at Hooters for $200 free slot play. Worth the price of the book itself. $15 or so I think.

LOL, love this report, made me laugh. Going in 2 more sleeps. If you think Canadian boys can drink, ah, Canadian women drink them under the table :)

LOL

Thanks for the trip report. Sounds like another fun time in Vegas.

This TR is a ruse!! Blago was in Florida with his family!! j/k Nice TR

Dee1967 doesn%26#39;t tell a lie,

Canadian girls have put me under the table more that once. And while there doing it look at you innocently, as if immune to any law of physics. Even worse, in the morning you%26#39;ve got a rancid hangover; she says '; Cmon, get up we are going for a hike today';.

I tell you there something encoded on the DNA of Canadian girls!

Cheers

Great TR

Luv Tub room for addtl $30 per night. Been married 22 years, there will be no luv in the tub. LMAO starting with this line.
