Looks Like I'm Heading to Vegas on Thursday

I just stayed at the Tropicana last October. They indeed will match anything you have ANYWHERE. I believe that offer caps out near $2k. You must scan it to them, for them to see it first. Also, they were excellent with food comps. Your host will automatically put a daily dollar amount on your account.

As far as eats go the BISCAYNE STEAK, SEA AND WINE is excellent and I mean excellent. We ate there both nights. Over the two nights we had ribeye, filet mignon, Koby Burger & fries and porterhouse. All were outstanding. If you don't have upfront comps a good way to keep the price down is tix4tonight. They offer a 50% off main entree for $3. For the second night we had reservations at Bacio Pasta & Vino but after our excellent meal at Biscayne we cancelled but I hear it's also excellent. At Biscayne our server was Steve, he is from Hawaii and one of the best servers we've ever had. He was very helpful when ordering and his knowledge of wine blew me away and would bring out samples for me to try.

The suites are a true one bedroom, not this open doorway like at Silverton. I get up before my husband so it's nice to have a living room where I can make my coffee and watch TV and not wake him up.

I forgot your host is now there, Joanie. Rick is also there ( I absolutely love him! ) Rick wrote a comp for the mob attraction, which was nice if free but, something you would not want to pay for.

Wherever you end up staying, start the New Year out right and hit some royals!

Hi Lolly,

Not to jack Bags thread but it's nice to hear about the dining options at the Trop.

I've been doing drop in play and haven't stayed at the Trop (save one time quite a while ago). Typically stay at MGM and drop across to the Trop to play. There are a number of very nice dining options at MGM so we tend to stay/eat here.

I think we'll make a legit plan to stay/eat at Trop next time we're in town.

Bags, sounds like you're missing the boat if you don't give the Trop a try. They have a Starbuck's there as well which takes care of the coffee drinks but admittedly has some pretty sucky food choices.

Good luck.

Hi Dan, the dining options just about everywhere pales in comparison to the MGM Grand and CET Empires!

I doubt you'll get a better room at the Trop if your staying at MGM Grand but if you want a nice dining experience I'm sure Biscayne will not let you down.

You do know about the 8/5 BP 100 play additions, right? When I was there in Oct I complained they only had one back by the sportsbook. They now have more in the HL room.

I just wish I could warm-up to strip properties, I'm still preferring off strip to anything on strip!
