Bag stuffed with goodies after a coupon run, (like a kid coming back from Halloween or the Midway), I marvel at all the T-shirts, coffee cups, dice, playing cards, hats, and more that I\u2019ve collected on my trip to Vegas. Keep your Gucci. I like free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yeah, I\u2019m one of those <\/em>guys taking the soaps and shampoo. But what really gets me going is the twice-daily room service in the five-star towers at Wynn and Encore literally sweeping it all into the cloth laundry bags along with \u2026 well \u2026 they haven\u2019t gone out of their way to invite me back, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s the Super Swag runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But I digress. I love to collect. I\u2019m into vintage LPs and 45s, Do Not Disturb signs, seashells, everything Japanese (even anime, though I stop at Hello Kitty), and of course anything Vegas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My question to you is: What\u2019s your favorite Vegas swag?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Come on, I know you sneak some soap and shampoo home and love to sing Bon Jovi, Taylor, Lady Gaga, or Rod Stewart while soaping up from the Cosmopolitan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anyway, I considered a Top Five, but it\u2019s even hard to stop at the 10, so here goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Soaps and shampoos from Downtown Grand, Rio, and especially Wynn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Long-gone-casino swag: Crazy Girls coffee cups from the Riviera (you know the one) and my Mirage bathrobe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wynn bathrobe and leather long shoe horn. No not for shoes, silly \u2026 think kinky!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Circa Stadium Swim towels, (mine cost me $10,000; Superbowl Stadium Swim for 12), though I passed on Circa\u2019s replica gold bars of their Legacy Club Million in Gold Display \u2026 a must-see, BTW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Did I mention my Vegas coaster and matchbook collection and Vegas\/Reno\/Atlantic City dice collection? Or Shaq\u2019s Super Bowl party at XS at the Wynn? The music was hot \u2014 and the swag was off the charts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or my favorite LVA MRB online printed free lap-dance<\/em> coupon I never used? Like the whale in Atlantic City who kept losing millions and on the trip where he won millions, he kept the check in his wallet to show his buds he was a winner? Well, I didn\u2019t win millions and not cash the check (I always cash the check!), but I kept the lap dance coupon, because I couldn\u2019t imagine asking for a dance and handing over a coupon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Besides, it\u2019s really number two. My number one Vegas swag? The Stardust \u201cMaid service, please\u201d door hangar. I still remember looking down at the pool, wishing I had one of those poolside rooms (before they plowed it under to create Resorts World).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oh, the stories those rooms could tell!<\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s your favorite swag or swag story?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Best swag story wins a Bobby Vegas T-shirt, the best swag of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bag stuffed with goodies after a coupon run, (like a kid coming back from Halloween or the Midway), I marvel at all the T-shirts, coffee cups, dice, playing cards, hats, and more that I\u2019ve collected on my trip to Vegas.
