Big, small, silly, profound ... five things you'd like to see in Vegas

It seems your #3 conflicts with your #1,2,4, and 5. (whiners...)

 

Not at all son,

I can't teach you, to understand it....

 

1. More plays and Broadway musicals
2. More comps
3. Re-theming
4. No resort fees
5. bookstore on the strip

Honorable mention: grocery store on the strip

 

1. Only 3:2 Blackjack at all levels
2. Full pay Video Poker at all levels
3. No resort fees
4. No timeshare reps
5. No porn slappers

 

1 All-immersive themes in resorts. Start with Luxor and bring back the nile river ride. And nothing based on cities. Get creative for once.
2. Implode City Center, or change it to a themed resort - Bank Tower World, with gambling cubicles and overpriced erstatz delis with that whipped cream cheese.
3. Full pay blackjack and video poker everywhere.
4. More live music in casino lounges.
5. No more headache-machine penny slots that ding mercilessly at top volume. Irish Luck, I'm talkin' to you.

 

1. No Smoking
2. A tram from the airport to the strip & downtown
3. Full Pay Video Poker at lower levels on the strip.
4. No resort fees
5. More trips for me

 

Subtract:
1. Card snappers
2. Timeshare hawkers
3. Cover charges for using Caesars pool. Used to be if you stayed at a CET property, you could use any other pool without a cover. Now it's $25.
4. Resort Fees
5. 6:5 blackjack

Add:
1. Better options for getting from McCarran to the Strip.
2. The old Jubilee show at Bally's.
3. Zipline down the Strip.
4. A good hibachi/sushi place.
5. Another big player on the Strip to break up the MGM/CET war.

 

O.K. Dad, if you say so.

 

My Top Five

1) Public tram/train from McCarran to both the Strip and Downtown.

2) 3:2 BJ as minimum payout by Gaming Regulations.

3) European roulette on $5 tables at all casinos.

4) No baby strollers in casinos (WTH).

5) Fixed taxi charges based on distance only.

Bonus) Natedogg wearing web cam entire next trip...

 

I like this one! I think Pennsylvania regulations require all BJ to pay 3:2 and stand on S17.

Funny that a random state like that enacts this type of gambler friendly regulation but the state that symbolizes gambling in this country, if not the world, doesn't do the same.

And after reading PayTriple's latest report lets strap one on him too!

 

Well I'll be damned...

§ 633a.13. Payout odds; payout limitation.
(a) The certificate holder shall pay each winning Blackjack Wager at odds of 1 to 1 with
the exception of Blackjack which shall be paid at odds of 3 to 2.

 

...Kids are checked in at airport on arrival and sent to camps where they are taught a trade.

...Hookers should have to wear I.D. badges, like in work. There is nothing more embarrassing than approaching a well-dressed, attractive woman in a bar and finding out she really IS waiting for her husband.

...Blackjack players should have to take a test and prove that they actually know the rules of the game. All payouts should be set back to 1975 rules, except that all cards are dealt face up. (Not all casinos did that in 1975).

...Any woman caught walking on the Strip after 7 A.M. in bare feet shall be arrested, have their legs placed in stocks and their filthy feet scrubbed clean with stiff bristled brushes.

...All bridge beggars and sellers of cd's shall be placed in work camps to learn a trade.

 

Hahaha, I couldn't agree more.

 

Where do you want it strapped to me? [emoji182]

 

1. Annual VMB Golfapalooza Tournament at Coyote Springs
2. Mandatory 3:2 Blackjack at all LV casinos
3. No Resort Fees
4. An end to tunneling
5. More hotels that have Keurig coffee machines

 

1- the end of this EDM dj craze. I miss the days when a club just brought a celeb in and called it a day
2- bring back theme resorts. It's what vegas is all about. The cosmo and aria look like buildings i could find anywhere
3- Treasure Island has been my new home base and they show a lot of love but please
Bring back the Actual pirate show. I thought that pirate show was cheesy and dumb
But now i realize that it should still be there anyway.
4- Resorts World please hurry up and get a move on it. Riviera and SlS are banking on you
5- Get the mixtape dudes off the strip
6- More emphasis on a lounge scene in vegas. Enough with the clubs.
Lounges would be way more my style
7.) Only hot cocktail waitresses from now on. No offense but i've seen
Some CW's that look like they should have retired long ago.
8.) No more resort fees or deposits!! (Yeah i know it's not feasible)

 

#1 The return of Boyd Gaming to the strip.
#2 The return of good players club sign up gifts. It's not fun joining for just freeplay and few give you good incentives to play for a few hours.
#3 New casinos not inspired by LA or South Beach
#4 Restaurant concepts not inspired by LA or NYC. Innovate for a change!
#5 The return of traditional Vegas headliners, even if they are cheesy.

 

#5 - Fridge and coffee machine in all rooms
#4 - don't close half the pool area when it's 100 degrees outside (Luxor!)
#3 - Giant Sci-fi themed nerd/geek heaven casino.
#2 - monorail system around strip and to downtown that makes sense
#1 - ban kids... seriously, last time I was there a guy was letting his 5 year old hit the buttons on a slot machine. Security came by and had this "are you freakin kiddin me??" look on his face.... PS I love kids and I'll enjoy my kids company in an upcoming family trip now that they are all over 21...

 

1. Definitely re-theming and then some... Asian, middle eastern, african, scandinavian, south american themes are missing just from a geographical stand point. No more business plazas or pointless hotels like Cromwell or SLS. Each hotel must have a uniqueness to it.
2. No resort fees.
3. $5 set as highest table game minimum for all table games ($2-3-4 welcome), no set line limits for slots (80 credits button etc.)
4. Great "special" food deals at every hotel, including Wynncore/Bellagio; something similar to EI Steak Special.
5. Buffet crab legs not being wasted by being cut from the middle. Crab legs are meant to be served whole.

 

Really enjoyed reading this thread and finally decided to contribute. some have already been suggested:

1. More and larger non-smoking areas in the casinos. I really don't want to breathe your smoke and I'm sure you really don't want to breathe my carbon dioxide. Let's self-segregate!

2. A pro basketball team. My favorite sport. Would love to go to more than the occasional pre-season game in Vegas when I am there. Half the league already hangs out in vegas all the time anyway, so let's just put them to work.

3. Bigger and comfier sportsbooks. They are getting smaller and smaller. They also need more dedicated food and beverage service in or near them.

4. A casino penalty box. It will be like hockey. Every time a gambler berates a dealer or another player, they get a five minute major and have to sit in a plexiglass penalty box, reading those When the Fun Stops brochures. Habitual offenders will be placed in a special box with Dennis Rodman or any cast member from a Real Housewives show. Their choice.

5. More skywalks to cross the streets. The Strip already has enough traffic problems. Drunken tourist hoards (myself included at times) only slows it down.
