Yeah, right. Got back from Vegas (first time there) late Sunday. Steve Francis was there for "Last Call with Carson Daly". We thought about going, but couldn't justify waiting in line at 4:00 for a 5:00 show, just so we could yell while in the audience. Seemed juvenile, even for myself. We saw Stevie at the Craps table later that night. Was wearing all red, with the number 84 on the back of the jersey. (Still have no idea what the jersey was for, it was just Beet Red.) We watched how he was doing at craps for a few minutes. (not very well) The funny thing was, he was only dealing with $5 and $25 dollar chips. Hell, I had a few C note chips. Guess he didn't want to lose much. Anyway, I didn't bother him, but a buddy of mine went up to say hi, and that it was fun seeing someone from Houston there. Steve was apparently very personable to him, also. But no info or news, because everyone knows here that I don't know a damn thing ever. We did have some good times though. We went to bed at around 7:30 A.M. on Thursday night. At about 9:30, we were grossly awakened by construction going on RIGHT NEXT DOOR! I called the front desk, and let them know it usually takes an act of God to wake up, but they were successful. They Comp'd us a night, but we were awake, and still fairly intoxicated. We decided to meander for a bit and went to get breakfast at a hotel that I can't possibly remember. We had a breakfast buffet, and while we were eating, a friend of mine notices that we're eating bacon, and starts talking about the "Beggin Strips" commercial where all you see is a dog's nose sniffing constantly yelling "IT'S BACON!!!!" And the lady basically states, "no, stupid, it's Beggin Strips." "I'm pretty buzzed from the night before, so I bring up a funny aside for the commercial. I tell him..."Of course it's Beggin strips. Of course you know that dog's will eat crap also." Then I start doing the sniffing thing that the dog does in the commercial, and I start going, "wait, I know what that smell is. IT"S FECES!" (The Dog's nose is now burrowing in and around the bathroom door, and his master, is yelling "Get away, stupid!") but the dog nose is very happy at his new finding. "IT'S FECES!" I hope the written word came across well, because we were all laughing all weekend about it. I'd tell you about the other comedic stuff I figured out while I was there, but it's a little too "risque" and I would prefer my enjoyable weekend stay up here. All in all, I enjoyed myself, but found the whole place sleazier than I first assumed. But, hey! I came home up, so it ain't all bad!
I am going to Vegas for a one day trip on Saturday...I LOVE Vegas.... Fatty, where did you stay, and what games did you play? I like the Venetian...only hotel that has a mini bar in the room. oh, and Craps and Blackjack for me baby...mixed in with a modicum of Carribian Stud and let it ride. DD
Vegas is the best place on earth!!!! I love Vegas, so many hot women and so i think they are women but thats another story, anywho...where was i.... oh yea i've been there like 4 or 5 times on previous summer vacations and its pretty fun (if you have money). We had a lot of hotel rooms so we could stay anywhere but I chose to stay at Caesars (sp?) Palace because of the topless pool haha oh boy was it fun bwahhaha ... good times..good times.. oh yea on my 2nd trip to vegas awhile back, i saw the making of the video (what means the world to you) by cam'ron and trina.. it was kool..
I love Vegas...Great place to gold if your not a big gambler. I have stayed at Ceasars Palace, Bally's 2X's,Paris 2X's.
It's not how much you win, it's how much you play. If are a high roller who comes often, I imagine they hook you up since you are bound to lose quite a bit of cash to them.
You don't even have to be a high roller, my average bet is about $25 and if you play for a long time they comp your room, your food and beverage. I have always been comped, I have never paid for food or a room while I was there. DD
Sheesh, I need to get back to planning your intervention. Fatty, you should have jumped on Steve's back and kissed his forehead when he won since Cat wasn't there.
my family and I are taking a trip this summer somewhere, and the first city my dad brought up was Vegas, but my brother is only 20. Do you think it's possible to still have fun if one person is underage? If not, we will probably head elsewhere. I've always wanted to go to Vegas though.
You can also get poker rates for rooms. You have to sit at the table for a certain amount of time and you really don't bet that often in poker so you can play for a pretty long time.
Haven't you heard, the Hoover Dam tour is THE reason to go to Vegas... I've heard Vegas is really family friendly now. Lot's more than the strip...here's a few things... http://www.lasvegas.com/guidebook/things_to_do.htm
DD: We stayed at the Hard Rock for four days/3 nights. Played Blackjack the whole time. I finished my gambling up about $100, so I was happy Buddy #1 Payed for all of our meals, and most of our drinks and still came home up $400. Buddy #2 was down $1,000 by the end of night two, and pretty much stayed in the room after that. Again, I'm too risk averse to be a high roller, but I did bet as much as $75 a couple of times. (won both) Anyway, it was a good time, no women, though.
Im 19 and i've been there when i was about (14, 16, 17, and 18) i had a blast.. its just that u have to find where the fun spot is.. and its not hard to find... nice shopping places like The Forum Shops... did i mention hot girls!!!!
