    OUR FAVORITE IS – SUNCOAST - best all-around casino for us. However would stay at any of these again.



    BUFFET:

    · BACCHANAL – Over-priced, takes too long in line and we had a line pass food, however the variety was overall good. Would recommend everyone try it. We are glad we did.

    · THE MARKET AT RAMPART - Fabulous refresh, great selection, great service and priced right.

    · WESTERN GRILL in the SILVER NUGGET - Our go-to, always great food, excellent service and the price can’t be beat.

    · DUPARS - Great food, ok service, not cheap.

    · FAT CHOY - Really good food, good service, good price.

    · THE D GRILL - Food ok, service ok, price ok, just here because of the comp.

    OUR FAVORITE – Still picking WESTERN GRILL for all around best.



    BBQ:

    · JOHN MULLS ROADKILL GRILL – Very good price, kind of in a weird place, service does not apply.

    OUR FAVORITE ELLIS ISLAND BBQ.

    · ITALIAN AMERICAN SOCIAL CLUB - Great food and atmosphere, excellent entertainment.

    · 107 LOUNGE - Nice views, ok food, not cheap.

    · BLVD & MAIN - Disappointed in food and beer choices, good service, price ok.

    OUR FAVORITE – ITALIAN AMERICAN SOCIAL CLUB.



    GAMBLING:

    · BELLAGIO - Too high of limits on tables and hard to get on our slots.

    · STRAT - Nice refresh, good game choices, low limits, good slot selection.

    · SILVER NUGGET - Love the cheap VP there.

    · THE D - Still too hot and loud for us but good slot choices and table games also SIGMA DERBY.

    · 4 QUEENS -like this place but never get comps there - go for silver strike machines.

    · M - Love this casino and their selection of slots and table games but never get any comps here.

    · BINIONS - Don’t know why we go there at all - just do not enjoy it.

    · CAL – Like casino and games, always crowded.

    · MSS – Coupon run only, usually lose here and fast.

    · EL CORTEZ – Great little casino, love the variety and low limits.

    · PLAZA - Really cleaning up and have added some great slots and table games - love the bingo.

    · FREMONT – Great slot options, not a fan of their tables.

    · GOLDEN GATE - Too hot but love the vibe here on slots tables and the new sports book.

    · EUREKA – Slot joint - go for the food at FAT CHOYS.

    · NEW SAHARA - The slot choices were lacking for us and tables had higher limits than we thought they would.

    · Cromwell - Slots ok, tables great.

    · OYO – Kind liked the vibe here on the tables, ok slot selection.

    · SILVERTON – Good all-around slot and table selection.

    · CEASERS PALACE – Great slots tables, too high of min for us.

    · RAMPART – Great slot selection, nice table selection, and great comps + bingo

    · SUNCOAST Great slot choices and table mins, love the bingo.

    OUR FAVORITE Was ELLIS ISLAND.



    OTHER NOTES:

    · It took us 35 min to get from McCarren to Fox car rental. Not bad for getting a 4 door Jeep Wrangler for 9 days for $260.00.

    · Liked the wrangler, fun to rent, will not own one.

    · No problems at FOX again.

    · LVA COUPON BOOK IS WORTH THE MONEY EVERY TIME.

    · Like the new CIRCA sports book but will probably try the RAMPART book too. It looked great in there.

    · Allegiant sucks but is cheap and gets us there. For the price, I can live without the frills.

    · LAPPERTS – Ice cream really good.

    · SPA MIO – Wife still loves going there.

    · CLARK COUNTY MUSEUM is worth a look – it’s cheap and very interesting exhibits.

    · 9 days in LAS VEGAS cost us $3080.00 all in, still a cheap trip and we had a fabulous time.

    THANKS FOR FOLLOWING ALONG MR.VEGAS & MRS.VEGAS.

    Nice work. Summary is spot on for our type of play comfort level etc. sometimes I feel they don’t want us at specific properties and thus the reason for the higher table minimums. It works! Good trip.
