    I go for the non-Vegas TRs so I can see what's out there around this big wide country, continent and world.

    I like everyones TRs, since we all have our own style of writting which makes each report sorta unique. So, I can't pick just one or just a few out of all who contributes TRs. Although, I tend to enjoy TRs that are detailed with lots of photos and food porn the most including both Vegas and non-Vegas destinations.

    Matt Bridger for me - the slot king. @ mattjb

    I can't argue with the other suggestions either, some of the TRs have been epic.

    I think my favourites are @DaiLun, @smerrian and @Flowers. Lots of unique and interesting information in them. I enjoy most trip reports. They all have their own merits.

    I read all of the above and will add @jENBEAU. I also can't believe no one has mentioned a Royal Flusher and QQ from Flusherville. Although those are more posted on his blog, so maybe not quite the same.

    I also used to love a NateDog or Packer TR, but the guys have all but vanished off this and other boards. I have wondered if a certain High Roller went bust, but I don't think it seemed he would get in over his head. Perhaps Vegas just got too much like work.

    Y'all all keep them coming, and thank you for the enjoyment you provide.

    One of my favorite "trip reports" of all time was the one involving Stupak's Vegas World & the beef-tongue!

    RoyalFlusher definitely one of my favorites. I love TRs that make me laugh. It is truly the best medicine.

    really love reports from @mattjb ... also enjoyed @ardee , @smerrian , @Richard Alpert and @flysrb ... really love any report with pictures/videos and its probably not fair singling out a few when I have enjoyed so many of the reports ...

    Yes I completely agree! I hate to single anyone out but I really love her reports the most. It's the most like being there, for me anyway! All the reports are great though. I have 185 days until my next trip so I NEED live reports to make it!!! Thank you all in advance! :nworthy:

    I used to enjoy reading blackjackqueen, I think that was her username? However, I really enjoy everyone's posts, so entertaining.

    that's a myth Ken, we all know that if you go further eastward from Vegas you drop into a giant abyss...
