I was looking at hotels in LV and some amazing deals. The 4 star places, like Mandalay Bay, are below $100 and Bellagio was only around $140. You can get rooms at the new City Center hotels for that price. Hopefully Binion's will survive since that is really an old-school LV place.

Just stayed at The hotel at Mandalay for $ 140 a night . Great, great, city. i had an amazing time and I don't gamble. Brought my wife and 8 yr. old and marveled at the Hoover Dam, grand Canyon, the dinners and the shows.

Oh yeah, I went to the "Gun Store" and bought the coalition package. Fired an M-4, M-249, and a beretta. This may be an average day for most FReepers but I am from Joisey and I need a license for a kitchen knife.

I wonder how all of those union members in Vegas that voted for the O feel now.

How’s that hoax and chains going?

Stay at the Wynn. It's very nice. Great lounge (Parasol Lounge).

I rather do not like the Bellagio - very difficult to get a decent priced meal there.

The Venetian is great (very large standard rooms) and has access to Emril’s ‘Table 9’ reasonably priced and excellent. The pool on the roof of the casino(?) is very peaceful and few know about it - it's mostly for guests of the ‘Towers’ (I think that's what it is called - it's a hotel inside of the Venetian)

Table 9 is also very close to the Wynn.

We stay at the Hotel at Mandalay Bay and enjoy the amenities
that the property has to offer.

I liked the red ascetic's of Encore better.

That’s because the economy has fully recovered fer sher, by golly Miss Molly, happy days are here again! Classic FDR dillusionment.

Ben Burn-yank-me is the Times hero of the year for having saved us from Bush’s economic disaster. It’s all peachy keen roses and pie from here on out, especially after they give us the “Christmas Present” of Nationalized Health Care. That’s just what I have always wanted; To be able to go to the Clinic once a week for a free check-up.

Who needs a nice house, a boat, frequent vacations and a comfortable early retirement anyway? What is important is the collective needs of the Peeple and living a moral Environmentally pure life, free from the evil greed of Capitalism. Fer sher fer sher.

For the price of a Holiday Inn Express!

I had the best breakfast of my life at the Venetian.

My husband’s family lives in Vegas. I always remember the holidays and winter season as being their busiest.

[ErnBatavia]

...and did the same thing all three days.

Back to topic, tho.....Wifey and I used to go to Binion's for their unbelievably good and inexpensive prime rib; old days stuff.

I'm waiting for Obama's Cash For Gamblers program soon!

Too bad the Frontier is gone...along with their fabulous Mexican restaurant.

[Mangia E Statti Zitto]

Shhhhhh!!! You’ll give them ideas!

LOL!

[Dilbert San Diego]

Geez, maybe they can loosen up the slots for bigger payouts???? Something to attract more tourism.

[C19fan]

Thanks for the heads up. I am laughing my head off.
