WOLVIE GATHERING : Operation Vegas (NSFW sometimes)

[Varg]

I've never been to vegas, I guess I'm still a noob in that respect.

Learn how to play craps before you go, best odds.

I have been to vegas 4 times, and i will tell you this, any more that 3 or 4 days and you will be broke as shit and ready to leave.
At least thats how it is for us po folks.

I totally agree. 2 days and 3 nights is an ideal time, imo. Get in Thurs. night, leave Sunday mid-morning. All you east coast guys could leave after work and still get to Vegas around 7 p.m. I would steer away from the northern part of the strip (like Sahara, Stratosphere, etc.) It's just far from all the new things in the center/southern part of the strip. And old. TBH, the hotel Garenth suggested isn't far from the 'happenings' and would probalby go for under 100 bucks.

But for the people going for the first time, it's quite an experience to stay in a casino. You're gonna be up late and it's so much nicer to be able to stumble to your room than to walk down the street....

any longer than 3 days and you will be bored shitless if you arent a degenerate gambler or a dopey broads that aims mindlessly in the stores

Now this is a thread I can get behind.  Not sure if I will be able to make it, I have taken 4 trips to vegas overall, and only 1 with the missus....don't know if I can swing another one.

Hotel:  Sign up at Harrahs.com (I think) and become a gold preferred member.  It will allow you to get great deals.  I might go to AC or Vegas once a year, and this April I stayed at Bally's from Sunday - Wednesday and it cost me $0.00.  I will post a pic I took from my window....not too shabby.  Harrah's is the mothership - they have like 12 casino's in Vegas, all with room deals all the time and you dont have to spend big bucks to get ther perks.  They want you to come and spend money.

Airfare:  Southwest is great - I flew there from NC round trip for $250 in April.

Meals: who has time?

Gambling:  Craps - great odds but man it can go quick.  Best odds - Poker: you are not playing against the house - just playing against other morons.  Rule: if you cant spot the sucker at the table in the first 10 minutes, you're it.

Golf:  nothing to write home about.  I played there 2 years ago, and depending on when you are going it is freakin hot out there.  You have to get a cab there and back (pain in the ass and $$$), and to bring your clubs on a flight costs more also - you can rent clubs at most places, but if you are a golfer, thats make spending the cash on the course and everything else not worth it....better off staying in the casino and getting loaded.

Beer-no:  Best bang for your buck.  Step 1: find a Keno lounge.  Step 2: sit down and play $2 Keno tickets.  Step 3: order drinks from the waitress that comes by.  Step 4: rinse and repeat.  result: spending maybe $20 over the course of an hour or two and getting a good buzz, and possibly winning some but not losing too much.

Apone loves Vegas.....

View from the window in my room at Bally's - the fountains from Bellagio are to the right...very cool to see

[Apone]

This was on the first slot I played and the first $20 I put in....sign of things to come....

[Varg]

How did you stay for 0.00? Comp from a previous trip?

[Sultress]

the only time I went, I stayed 4 days and I didnt' think it was enough.  There's so much to see... and I don't gamble, or drink... much.

[Varg]

I drink and gamble, much.

[Unnormal]

I was wanting a little bit of a longer stay as it will be my first time in vegas but the poll is up so EVERYONE VOTE!!!

[Varg]

why not just stay as long as you can afford or is this for the group rate thing? Shouldnt it be 3 days 2 nights etc?

[Kastil]

Is this Bat Country?

oH SHIT MY BAD(FIXED)

yA THIS IS JUST FOR THE GROUP RATE thing i want to call them once we decide on a hotel let em know how many people/rooms ect and for how long.  I will probably be staying a few extra nights even if it is just me and you gambling till dawn varg.

Or like you said if someone has or knows a travel agent that could hook us up let us know. There is a place here in town mom and pop think that do vacations I might stop in and talk to em just for the hell of it.
