Not really a trip report, but since I have the day off...
Who owns the property south of Mandalay Bay? Can't they build new stuff down there? Is it illegal to move that sign or something?
The World Poker Tour must have a serious self-image problem or inferiority complex if Chris Moneymaker is only known as a 'major tournament winner' and an unknown tournament at the Bellagio is billed as 'the most prestigious poker tournament in the world'.
I think it's time to take a sabbatical from poker when you KNOW you're too good to play with the schmucks at the low-limit tables because of them drawing out on you over and over, so you go to higher limit tables and get beaten down and robbed of your bankroll by schmucks drawing out on you over and over.
Can't they put some monorail track on the west side of the Strip, too? You know, loop it around the whole Strip.
Don't casinos understand that if they put in more tables of normal blackjack at $5 and $10 limits, they'd have a lot more players?
Would making all craps tables 5x odds and $5 minimums seriously dent the bottom line? If so, would having only two of them open at all times cause them to miss their monthly numbers?
Everybody has a gambling 'Line in the Sand'. Mine used to be Continuous Shuffle Machines. Now it is 6:5 Blackjack. And $10 craps minimums.
How is it that only one casino understands the magnificent drawing power of a decent-sized serving of shrimp cocktail for 99-cents?
I don't understand the attraction of standing in line and getting attitude in order to pay for admittance into a place serving overpriced drinks. Perhaps I'm not cool enough to understand.
Some billionaire philanthropist really needs to build a bullet-train connecting Phoenix, Vegas, San Diego, and L.A. Either that or them Star Trek geeks gotta get cracking on a real beaming-machine.
Becky may have been a total buffoon as far as running a casino, but at least she didn't drive off her customers with 6:5 single-deck.
If I were independently wealthy and had nothing to do all day, I'd wander around in front of Harrahs passing out anti-6:5 blackjack flyers.
Downtown needs a good strip club. I said GOOD strip club.
I'd like to immediately stun-gun any timeshare salesperson that approaches me. No questions asked. Imagine the difference we could make if everyone did the same.
Scooter rental on the Strip has got to be about the worst idea ever.
I like how all of the casinos on Fremont Street use the same style of cocktail glasses. That's cooperation.
Celine Dion selling out the arena at Caesars every night is just the first step down the slippery slope of Canadian World Domination.
Frankly, I'm surprised that nobody has stepped up to fill the Gay-Magicians-with-Wild-Animals void yet.
I love the fact that you can't walk ten steps in Vegas without seeing cleavage.
As much as I love Vegas, I'd never go back if I had a sailboat in the Caribbean.
Ya'll have a great and safe 4th of July weekend. I'm off to Phoenix!

Makes a lot of sense, of course, but still....I won't be holding my breath
