    Great trip report.

    Your wife certainly has some strange food habits... I heard that the Tarka Curry is the best way to eat them, bit like a Vindaloo, only 'otter.

    My wife was laughing because last night I was looking for cheap airfare deals. Honestly though, we need to get a family vacation in before we come back.

    Could probably be back next year. Going to wait and see what kind of offers we get. We stayed 4 nights and we ran up about 5,000 tier credits just gambling before bonuses. We can always get free rooms with CET in Vegas because we run a decent amount of money through their AC properties on the regular basis.

    Great report, @Wallew. So glad your wife found her phone after all that effort.
    I got a kick out of the "wife wanted otters" line. Auto-correct can be funny sometimes. :D
    Nice hit on the Monty Python slot! As well as all the other hits.
    Thanks for sharing your trip with us. Fun read. :)

    Thanks for the report! I lost my phone last year In AC in the borgata and was using the “find my I phone app” and since I was walking around with my iPad it appeared as if my phone was also moving....my coworker found it the next morning face down behind the chairs we were sitting in the night before... I think the app works but is a challenge when you are moving also.

    Glad you enjoyed Vegas! Last year was my first trip to AC after many years of multiple Vegas trips....I prefer Vegas but nice to have a closer option for me.

    Hit the first one for $1035 then within about a 1/2 hour hit one for $1014.

    Nothing life changing but it was definitely mood changing.

    I respect your excessive drinking and gambling that is leading to these excessive hangovers. And I will be testing those machines out this Friday. Those look like they are just off the lobby area??

    They are between the high limit slot area and the buffet. There are 5 of those Roman Reward machines.

    Just reread my TR for the first time since posting this. I really have to apologize for all of the spelling errors and that auto correct is an sob. I guess drinking heavily has that effect on trip reports.

    The wife and I have been talking and it seems that we are saying “when will we go back to Vegas” not “will we go back to Vegas”

    I also want to send another Huge “thank you” out to everyone on his board for all of the great advice I received ahead of our first trip to the desert.

    enjoyed your report - first trips to LV are so exciting as are any other trips to LV... so glad things turned around for you gambling wise... makes for a much better trip :D and here is a tip about hangovers... gonna sound weird but it works --- put about 2 oz of black coffee in a cup and 2 oz of pepsi - mix together and drink them right down - you'll be amazed how much better you feel!

    Sounds like it was a great trip for a couple of "virgins". I'm glad you had a great time! Thanks for sharing all of the pictures.
