    That is breathtaking! I could sleep out there on a nice late spring/early summer night. :)

    Multi-day? I'm not sure you want to spend multi-hrs there... I've found Stamford is best experienced on the Metro-North RR from New Haven to NYC.

    I'm back in CT now and went down to Mohegan in the fall. Its a flipping palace. Wouldn't be a bad place to get stuck for a while.

    It's to attend tapings of the Steve Wilkos show (films on Tue/Wed) and the Maury show (films on Thu/Fri) at the NBCUniversal studio. I've gone twice, but I took the free shuttle from Harlem to get there, when I was staying in New York.

    Honestly, I don't care very much for New York, and I'm not a morning person (the tapings begin in the morning) so for those particular days I feel like it makes sense to be close to the studio.

    After much though it would be the Presidential suite at the SUNCOAST CASINO & RESORT 2300 sq ft with fridge and coffee maker. They have a pool, hot tub, salon, spa, fitness center, golf, movie theaters, bowling center, video arcade, bingo, 12 restaurants, vp, keno, poker room, let it ride, baccarat, craps, carribbean stud, black jack, pia gow, roulette, with low table min and a good slot selection.

    Red Rock, lots of the same things Sams has, movie theater, bowling, but with lots more food choices and nicer rooms.

    Was just teasing abt Stamford. I live outside Hartford. They're kinda the same cities. Mostly just places to go to work and not much going on after 5 PM or on weekends. I'm shocked that someone who loves to travel as much as you do and loves LV as much as you do would prefer Stamford over NYC. But to each their own. I don't know when you're planning on going to those shows but word to the wise - its not a hard commute from Stamford on the train but its not quick. It'll take you abt an hr just on the train.

    As odd as it sounds, I think I'll take the Luxor. Gambling is going to get old pretty quickly. The Luxor has that HyperX E-sports Arena. I'm not a gamer by any stretch of the imagination, but, that's a secret weapon in riding this thing out. I was looking at the website and it has a "Vintage Video Game Cocktail Bar". Hell, I can sit around and drink all day playing some old Nintendo games. I'm also assuming if I got bored I could go there and play Madden or something online. It would have Xbox/Playstations so I could log into Netflix if I needed a movie and put it up on the big screens. There are plenty of places that are a lot nicer, but, that place would be an excellent bonus to kill time. It's got a decent pool. With those two things I could do alright. I imagine the scenario of being there from when the casinos closed to whenever they open again.

    wow - its hard to imagine which casino I'd want to be isolated/quarantined in.... I guess I'd pick Caesars in Las Vegas even though I've never stayed there but its so big with the Forum shoppes and restaurants - I don't think I'd be bored.
    My other choice is The Borgata in Atlantic City -- nice pools and spa - lots of food choice, shows and I love playing the machines there.

    Mine would have to be El Cortez, because every morning that I wake up there feels exactly like every other morning that I’ve woken up there. I could do ninety days without missing a beat, you could even throw in the digital flip clock and “I’ve got you babe.”

    I bet they'd take until about day 89 to bring you the check at Siegel's 1941 though ;)

    Caesars Place. My last 14 stays have been at Caesars and I'm pretty comfortable getting around there. Yes, occasionally I take a wrong turn, but I'm a senior citizen - that's my excuse. Give me an Augustus tower room and I'll be fine. I've gotten suites a few times but a regular king room in Augustus would work. It's has enough of a variety of restaurants were, though there are some I've never been to including: Hell's kitchen, Nobu, Seersucker or Guy Savoy. Though, I'm sure I don't want to pay Savoy prices.

    It is pricey for sure. I did the caviar tasting menu two summers ago, if you'd like to have a look at what that's like: https://www.vegasmessageboard.com/forums/index.php?threads/live-lots-of-pics-mostly-solo-23-days-9-hotels-vegas-reno-some-very-unusual-sightseeing-enjoy.152431/page-22

    My itch of curiosity about fine dining has mostly been scratched, but that was one experience that really gave me a good look into how fancy eating works.

    Wow this is kinda creepy. I love the ELCo, but I think I’d go crazy locked up there after two weeks.

    I've been stumped on this question.

    I would choose the Wynn because it has always felt very homey to me, like a plush, oversized luxury couch. I really appreciate carpets and Wynn carpeting is soft and gorgeous. The beautiful touches everywhere are a feast for the eyes. Rooms, exquisite. Food, delicious. Spa, stunning. Amenities, captivating.

    I'm a low-roller so the Rio would be fine..it has the pool area to go outside for fresh air and sunshine when needed..If the sportsbook was open,even better..

    This is a fun question. I'm torn between Red Rock for the variety of things to do and Wynn because...well, you know.

    A tough call. I'd initially think Lux (assuming all the venues are open). 3 shows, Titanic and Bodies, decent food options and a casino we love. Also lots of places to walk around. With that said though I'd go for V/P. Especially so if food options are all included. V/P is such a beautiful property to look at. Each time I walk around there I always see something new. Then again I would need a 12 step program within a few weeks.
