2011 New LVA Member sign in and welcome!

We are staying at the Flamingo this trip out also and it is our first time at that particular property.....did you enjoy your last stay there? The reviews are "iffy" on TripAdvisor, however, I find that sometimes those reviews are not really correct. I also noticed that you have a timeshare "by the airport" - we do as well and I have been very happy with our timeshare. Have a great time on your next trip out to Vegas.

denihal,
We get comped rooms at the Flamingo. Last year we upgraded for $29 a night. I think the room we got was remodeled. It was a nice clean room, good view of the court yard. Our time share is Bluegreen. Take care

Hi everyone,
My name is Jim. I used to be a LVA member years ago but haven't been to LV for about 5 years now. My wife and I are going 4/1 to 4/6 and will be using our time share points to stay at the HGV resort on the strip near Circus Circus. We stayed there a few years back and enjoyed the property though it is a bit removed from center strip activity. I am looking for any advice folks might have on a variety of things. here are some of my questions. any advice is appreciated Thanks!
Best JOB 25 cent video Poker? Low stake BJ with decent rules? what new attractions to see? Advice on desert hikes...we will be renting a car? Best bang for buck Happy hours, buffets etc..?
Must see shows? Anything else I didn't think of?
Thanks again!
jim

Hello,

Just signed up. Coming out to Vegas 3/16-3/21 for March Madness. Bringing my 23 yr old son for first trip and he is returning in June for a batvhelor party.

He likes Blackjack and I like Limit Hold Em (occasionally NL).

Looking for any ideas where to go, places to see, etc.

Just signed up for full membership.....have been freeloading for a while. We live in Ohio, and started traveling to Vegas in 2001. Stayed at the Hilton, Ballys, Rio, Gold Coast, NYNY, MGM, Monte Carlo, and the Golden Nugget. We will be out in May, and are staying at the Nugget for the entire trip. Looking forward to being in the desert!!!

Hope you all are able to post some Trip Reports, on the paid side, after those trips!

Hi,

New to LVA. Have been going to Vegas once a year since '04. Stayed at Aria, PHO and Mandalay Bay last year. Staying at TI, MGM and Monte Carlo in July.

Thanks

Hi there!!

Been hooked on Vegas since my dad took me for my 21st birthday (21 years ago). Just joined LVA for the coupon book and noticed how great these forums are.

I have stayed at 19 different hotels over 16 trips (#17 is next month). My favorites are the MGM properties in general and the Bellagio specifically.

I play slots and vp. Used to play the tables, but stopped a few years back in favor of the convenience, excitement and better comps that come with the machines (I would rarely play at a high enough level to get rated at the tables).

My favorite show is Penn & Teller. I have seen them 3 times and even with many of the same tricks they manage to keep it feeling fresh. Besides that, you gotta love it when a couple of guys who are that big of names come out after every show to sign autographs, chat and get pictures taken (they stay until EVERYONE has a chance to meet them too).

I have stayed at Bill's and we are going in a few weeks and in December.
Can you briefly explain how the ticker works.?

Hey guys, new member. Getting ready to make 2011 my first year with 2 trips. I go out every March for the NCAA tournament. Just booked a second trip for August. Every March we stay at the IP but its getting harder to stay there as we get older. Going to stay at the Flamingo and PH in Aug and may move there for March. Play BJ, LIR and poker. Hoping to learn craps in Aug and play some VP.
