A Pre-Trip Report.. if thats possible..

I also posted this on the LVA Free for All.. but thought I'd throw it here too, since Ill have a full report when I get back..

I leave Thursday for my annual solo trip to Sin City. I’ll be staying 3 nights at the Golden Gate, my first time away from The Plaza in years.
My very first trip downtown about 10 years ago I stayed at the Gate and I think that’s when I fell in love with the Fremont/Downtown scene. I’m stoked to hit the GG again and to check out the new rooms.

Every year I make a pre-trip itinerary of where to go and what to do, I like reading it when I get back to see what I actually got to on the list..

So, my plans this year:
- Pull an all nighter (my 1 a year.. getting older sucks)
- Check out The Western for the $1 drinks
- Late night Roulette at El Co
- Vanguard Lounge (thanks Groupon!)
- Sams Town and try to get to the Strip for free via the shuttles
- Oogle the GG dancing girls
- MRB coupon run to Terribles and Ellis Island
- Country Superstars Tribute Show at GN - Friday
- Ron White at Mirage - Saturday
- Creep around the Plaza to see if I can get a sneak peek
- Try to enjoy LVC, even thou its going downhill
- Check out Gold Spike Pool
- Check out Binions Pool (thanks Billryan)
- MMMMMM Shrimp Cocktail
- Pour one out for the Sahara
- Figure out where to use 50% off coupon at Palms (most likely dinner)
- Stay away from Circus Circus (8 years running!!)
- Finally, this year, hit it big!!


So, that’s my plan. We will see what I actually get to on that list..

Can’t. Friggin. Wait.

Marko.,..

Oh, I’d love to post this on a DOWNTOWN FORUM!! Just sayin..

Well have a great trip, Marko62, and know that Las Vegas Club still has some playable Video Poker with a not bad slot club! There are (according to Western's website) also some inexpensive food deals with their $1 Value Menu, so check them out (if you have any interest in that). Maybe they'll have something you'll like!

I really want to like Vegas Club, even stayed there 2 summers ago, but was unhappy with the room and the casino just seemed, dirty. However, the bartenders and dealers were all nice..
Ill give it another go..

thanks!
marko..

We'll just miss you; leaving this coming Saturday; staying at Palace Station and then Flamingo, with plans to visit downtown, also.

Have a great trip!

You're welcome, Marko! And know that those machines that have the "40% looser" signs on them do have some playable Video Poker (if you play that) on them (including 9/6 Jacks).
