I just returned from five days in my favorite place to be. I normally go to Vegas 2-3 times a year but due to family illnesses, I had to cancel 2 winter trips so it had been a year since I got to go, whew, I needed it.
Now, my Vegas is a place I go to RELAX. I am not a party guy but love to play slots and 3 card poker. I love the pools and most of my meals are buffets, I know but I love em.
Trip started nicely. SW was on time and grabbed the Belltran to Paris. I have never stayed there before but a comp offer made me give it a try. As I was checking in I asked for a Red room and got it thanks to advise from LVA, I knew they were the rooms to get.
First stop, the pool, its only 1:30, but what the heck, its raining! here! I have been coming here for years and have never seen it rain. I thought at first it was some kind of new misting system but the thunder convinced me other wise, so back to the room to change. Went down to play some 3 card and lost, quickly. dang rain and losing in the same hour...sheesh.
I thought I would try the buffet for dinner. Used the LVA coupon and found it to be ok. Not great, but not bad.
Headed over to check out cosmo. Very nice. Played there just to get on their radar. Nothing big but put some good points on the card, maybe they will send me a good offer. Day 1 over.
Day 2 I was up at 5 a.m. Wide awake, so went dow for some 3 card and ended up over $300. thats more like it. Went over to PH for the breakfast buffet, thanks to the coupon, again good but not great.
Spent most the day at the pool, relaxing, napping and decided to try Cosmos buffet for dinner. Turned out to be a very good buffet, expensive but good. I don't thinks its Bellagio or Wynn great but good.
Day 3 moved over to Bellagio for 3 days comped, room, food and 250 free play, great offer for me.
Bellagio is my favorite place to stay, I have stayed there countless time and have always had a great time. They are a few steps ahead of everyone IMO. They have my favorite buffet by far and again I was not disappointed. GREAT! had several meals there.
Gambling was not great, not bad but not great until my last night. I sat down at a penny machine just to kill some time. It was called Fortunes of the Caribbian or something like that, Four hours later I finally just had to call it a night. I could not stay awake but everytime I was about to cash out I would get another bonus. Ended up putting over 5000 points on my card and finally cashed out over 2500, good night.
I love the Bellagio!!!!!
SW flight home on time again. Love SW except for the cramped seats.
All in All a good trip, hopefully it won't be another year until I can return.
