april stay at paris

We always stay at Paris. Good location, easy to navigate, good restaurants, separate diamond and up check in. If we don't have a comped suite, we ask for "P" room which is a mini suite at the end of the hall. Mon Ami Gabi is our place for lunch at least once every trip. Get the onion soup and a glass of Cote du Rhone. Yummm! 

I would recommend getting tickets to Penn and Teller. They are at the Rio and it is a good show. I've seen them twice.

 

You may want to check the reviews for P&T as people either love it or hate it.  I saw it years ago at Ballys & they were great.  We saw it 3 years ago and it was a snooze.  Starts with Penn playing the cello & goes downhill from there.

 

About 10 card tricks and Penn talking about himself.  Could hear people snoring.

 

We did find Paris to be a very nice hotel; we do prefer smaller places now.

I saw them in 2024. Penn played Cello but not during the show. It was before the show started. 

 

I also saw them in 2003ish. 

 

I preferred the first show but still quite enjoyed the recent one too. 

 

They did a bit called Entropy. It was a bit of a slow burn but it worked in the end. 

 

They do change things up every couple years so they might be doing different stuff now.

 

Last year was their 50th anniversary anniversary.

Every review I've read in the last couple of years has said that there's an awful lot of talking and a dearth of magic. I wouldn't want to pay for the former, mildly entertaining as it might be. 

 

All the dialogue (and apparently, Teller is no longer completely silent) makes it seem like they're just mailing it in. Not that that's unusual for Vegas performers who are twenty years past their sell-by date.

All that means is that you were comped on theo rather than actual results. Congrats on doing better than mathematical expectation. And thank you for the gratuitous insults.

Teller does speak in one of the bits. 

 

There is a bit more talking but for clarification the dialogue is setting up the trick or is part of the trick. He isn't just talking story or doing a stand-up routine or something. 

 

The tricks they did were a bit more slow burning than previously but I personally did not get the sense that they were just phoning it in. 

 

I did get the sense that they are a bit older now and are not able to be as physical and nimble as in their youth. 

 

I still enjoyed it and felt it was worth the price of admission. Also I hear if you stay or gamble at the Rio it's pretty easy to get 50% off. 

Have fun and more good luck.

Except that you didn't even mention this as a possiblity. Instead you said to the poster "So if you got five comped nights...you must have lost enough to pay for twenty-five nights."   Wouldn't an "expert" such as you Kevin have known enough initially to mention that you were referring to theoroetical losses, and not actual losses, instead of only mentioning it when what you posted turned out to be wrong (again)?   And referring to you as pompous is not a gratious insult, instead it's a just and fitting description of you.

well akqj10 ....pompous is  truly  the least i could  say ....and i   shall not oder a  reisling   at a  french restaurant ... ah the  good old  days  of  thunderbird ... mad  dog 20/20   ripple...classic  wines...
