As for your dining comments, first, that's not good about your incident at Vic and Anthony's and I agree that Tilman Fertitta should be told about this and maybe while you're at it, you should also mention that you don't think that it was a good idea to get rid of the Carson Street Cafe!
As for the big Hot Dog at Fremont, I've seen the signs for it and wondered about whether the quality of it might have been like the one that I read that they used to have at Westward Ho. But I have told people that the big Hot Dogs in Las Vegas still do exist.
I do really like 10/7 DB but know that it is somewhat volatile so I know that it can go in either direction with "Hot" and "Cold" streaks.
As for going somewhere on the Strip at night, be aware that you don't have to take LV Blvd. to get there. There is Industrial/Dean Martin on the West Side of the Strip and Paradise or Maryland Parkway on the East Side of the Strip.
And I have been noticing that there is more stuff on Fremont Street than before and I don't know if that's better.

RecVPPlayer,
I didn't mind at all that Vic & Anthony's doesn't have any type of dress code. It's just that I was told there were no jeans, t-shirts, flipflops or tank tops. When I was in town earlier this year and last year in December, I asked in person just to make sure. Then before I came I called again and talked to "Chris" the manager. Then when I get there after hauling good clothes and shoes for the trip, they let anyone in regardless of what they were wearing. The guy sitting in the table next to me was wearing a t-shirt, shorts and basketball shoes with no socks. When I finished eating I went back up to the room and called the manager because I didn't want to make scene in the restaurant. This guy flat-out lied to me.
An employee told me the Carson Street Café is going to be replace by Cadillac Bar, which is a Landry's Mexican restaurant. The place will be split with another place called Michael Patrick's and who knows what will be served there because it's brand new. I was told it was Tilman Fertitta's son's name.
The big hot dog is exactly like the old Westward Ho dog. Not as good as the Vienna Beef one that Lady Luck had.
As far as gambling wins, I knew that sooner or later one of those short very hot streaks was going to occur and it did on this trip.
As far as driving on the Strip, I had to take my mother with me to the Mirage, Caesar's and Bellagio. She can't walk those distances so I had to use valet parking at each.
