I've been having fun with this little site... It's not a message board, but always something fun, always a 'title' picture and you can post. www.vegaschatter.com
Pretty cool site. Oyster has been a big help as far as room pictures for me lately too. I still mourn the old Cheapovegas though. I think it leaves a hole in the market for someone to fill if they can balance the marketing with the charm Cheapo used to have. What they've done with it is made it a carbon copy of every generic Vegas booking portal out there.
Yes - Vegas Chatter is a site I check in with every day. The staff there make an admirable effort to experience many of the interesting, often off-beat, events and sites in Las Vegas. And, they do a good job backing up the text with photos. If you email the staff, they'll respond and discuss the issues. It's obvious they enjoy what they do. Bill
I must agree that cheapo vegas is no longer worth bothering with. I used to enjoy the info and humor on that site and now I and many others I know have forgotten it.
I find some stuff on Vegas Chatter useful. But sometimes they make a bid deal out of old news, like Bally's charging for it's safes. Ipanema being better than Masquerade is such old news. They blogged about TR taking away show tix but not about them coming back. Some of the room pix are helpful but I feel I get a lot more current info here.
Vegas Chatter kicks a$$ a daily check up for me... as for cheapovegas... ill say this. The site lost its cheaponess lol. When i first saw the renovation i thought it became a third party booking site... but i still check it every now and then.
