    2. Flamingo. Dirty and noisy
    3. Luxor pyramid room
    4. Excalibur
    5. Planet Hollywood. Room was dank and dark

    1) Bellagio Fountains
    2) Excalibur game area
    3) Cosmo in the wee hours when the women are leaving Marquee
    4) Fashion Square Mall (the dichotomy between the people who should be there versus the ones that have no business there is stark)
    5) Circus Circus casino, because we all (mostly) agree on kids in Vegas, but they are fascinating to watch

    List the 5 shows that closed/ended before you could get to see them (for example for me would be Danny Gans). Try to be more realistic than saying Sinatra, Sammy, Dean, etc.

    Funny, but I have been to FOUR of those (CC Steakhouse really is pretty good. Heart Attack Grill with friends and I was outvoted, Tournament of Kings because my wife likes that crap and Ruth's Chris because a supplier bought be dinner there after a conference.)

    I won't fill the entire 5 worst meals -- The worst meal that came back to haunt me was Nine Fine Irishmen -- I referred to it as Revenge of the Nine Fine Irishmen. We ate there and then went to see Zarkana -- I was not feeling good and had cold sweats through the show. Got back to our room and literally spent five hours with the trots -- (sorry nurses have no shame) I had a chicken pot pie and my husband and I split the onion rings -- My husband got a little touch (like 45 minutes of the same thing) the Old Marine Corps Iron gut can take anything.

    1. Café at Lady Luck in 2001. Ate a raw hamburger and was sick for 4 days.
    2. Bellagio buffet. Walked around for about 3 minutes before I found a food that I recognized.
    3. Circus Circus buffet in 1986. Went there during a field trip with my school right before seeing a show at the Omnimax.
    4. Continental buffet 1989. $1.99 lunch and it included ribs! F Quality
    5. Flamingo Buffet 2011. Worst food of my life, will never return to that buffet.

    Hope this isn't a repeat....lost my first try when I left page to see what lists have already been asked for :-(

    Last question was for top 5 celebrities you've gambled with....lack of response might indicate that this is hard cause lots of people have not gambled with five celebrities. Mi only have four, but I'm gonna answer to move things along...

    1. Macy gray. Playing blackjack at Cosmo a year or two ago. Didn't realize who it was until somebody came up and asked for her autograph. She was very quiet, conservative gambler (played greens)

    2. Chris Paul WHEN HE WAS UNDERAGE. Technically he wasn't gambling, just sitting at blackjack table while a friend gambled but casino (dealer) was letting him get away with it. At MGM. All other players at the table were guys and they were all fawning over him, chatting him up, asking questions. Even with their questions I didn't know who it was so finally asked him 'so are you famous?' Guess he thought I was kidding around because he laughed like I told a joke. After he left I asked other players 'who was that' and they told me. Told my (then) 18 yr old son and he informed me the guy wasn't 21 yet. Looked it up on Internet and my son was right

    3. Hines ward at palazzo blackjack table for just a few hands. Seemed nice. After he left, dealer said there were several steelers there and they were all nice. I believe it was a playoff weekend and steelers were already knocked out.

    4. Don't remember the boxers name, but night before a big boxing match at MGM, one of the boxers and his extensive possee invaded a bank of slots I was playing (at MGM). They were incredibly obnoxious and foul-mouthed, inspiring me to cash out and move on

    5. Finally.....this wasn't gambling but I told y'all this was a tough category to get five..... When I was at Mandalay Bay in May, Gwen Stefani came into the bathroom with one of her sons (he seemed a little old for a ladies room...) and sent him into the stall with a 'don't touch anything!'

    For next category, something a little easier. Name the five best shows you've seen on the strip in the last 10 years

    Honorable mention Jeff Civilico - saw him with Nathan Burton - he stole the show - which is why I guess he has his own show now.
