Las Vegas

[jthomasou78]

Im going to Vegas next week for the first time in about 5 years. Staying at the new Vdara. Are there any new things in Vegas that I should check out? I usually never make it out of the casino, but this time I will be there for a whole week and I will be dead broke if I try to gamble the whole time Im there.

[GKeeper316]

coke n hookers

[SoonerStormchaser]

Oh jeez...where to begin.
Vegas is practically my wife's and my second home.

Vdara is pretty damn good for a hotel...definitely grab breakfast or lunch at Silk Road sometime. But you're gonna wanna spend most of your time at Bellagio...hands down the best place on the whole Strip.

[Crucifax Autumn]

Swinger clubs.

[sooner59]

Detour to the Bunny Ranch?

[Collier11]

Ill be there next Thur through Sunday, same weekend youre going?

There are some really good clubs, I guess it depends on how old you are?

[Crucifax Autumn]

Wow...Your date kinda snuck up quick.

[Collier11]

Yep, I was talking to AG about it...

[yermom]

well i should get there on Thursday, so where is the SF party? :D

i want to check out the City Center. they were working on it when i was there last year

[Collier11]

Well im gonna meet up with Cru one day for a few beerskies, you wanna join. Probably be in the afternoon one day?

[Crucifax Autumn]

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM


Beer.

[yermom]

[Crucifax Autumn]

If you don't make it we'll publicly call you a wussy.

[Collier11]

[Crucifax Autumn]

[Fraggle145]

(And dont tell me about the ****ing Blue Rhino, waiting in line sucks ***.)

[yermom]

i wonder if i can carry that on

[Czar Soonerov]

You'll have to purchase a ticket for it.

[JohnnyMack]

I'm in Vegas right now. Ran into Kevin Durant last night. I have a pic on my phone. I'll try and figure out how to upload it to this here innernets.

[pilobolus]

Dang man, this is the first summer in years I haven't made it out to LV, Tunica or Shreveport just don't cut it.

[GottaHavePride]

If you haven't seen it before, Blue Man Group is freaking awesome. Their Vegas show has a LOT more stuff than their tours. Any of the Cirque du Soleil shows are awesome.

[btk108]

Wow...Your date kinda snuck up quick.

Heh...what a change....he usually has to sneak up on his date! :D

Is it in bad taste to laff at your own post? BWAHAAAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAA

[btk108]

yah...he's filming his sequel to "The Hangover". Don't forget your man purse!

[Okla-homey]

I wouldn't voluntarily go to Vegas if they were having a big blow job contest and I was the judge.

Spent too much time there back in the day against my will.

Vegas is all sparkly with no substance. Like 'Poke football.

[Crucifax Autumn]

Getting off the strip is a good idea once the sparkles start to wear off. Much more interesting.

[pilobolus]

How about Penn and Teller? Is their show worth seeing?

[Crucifax Autumn]

It's Penn and Teller...Of course it's good.

[pilobolus]

Their Showtime series is pure brilliance.

[Collier11]

I hope to be doing some poon and dont teller this weekend :D

[btk108]

Pencillin won't cure everything.....:D

it's a satchel. Indiana Jones wears one!

[JohnnyMack]

The Penn & Teller Vegas show is PG-13. Not the same material you see on Showtime. FYI.

[KC//CRIMSON]

I know several people who have went and seen this recently, said it was AWESOMENESS.

This one was awesome....50 topless wimmen in the opening number

[delhalew]

I take the old lady to whatever Cirque du Soleil is going on when we go. I always spend some time in the Bellagio, and make my way downtown. I'm sure there is a ton of cool **** I haven't stumbled upon.

[Okla-homey]

That's a hundred bewbs! Now that is real value for your entertainment dollar!

[SoonerStormchaser]

More like Cirque du SoLAME! The wife and I went to see "O" two years ago...I left thinking two things: "O must be named that way because I kept thinking 'O ****! Why did I pay this much for such a lame *** show?'" and "Is it time for dinner at Picasso?"

Vegas is one of those places you go to have a good time, and while you're there you pretend to have a good time.

[yermom]

:rolleyes:

[Leroy Lizard]

And you pretend to have won just enough to pay for the trip.

[yermom]

if you can't have fun in Vegas you are doing it wrong

or didn't bring enough money :D

now winning money, yeah you are probably right on with that one

[Leroy Lizard]

I don't gamble. I figure that if I just want to throw my money away, I will give it to the needy. Going to Vegas and handing it over to rich, mob-infested goons doesn't suit me at all.

Above all, the fact that they have banned card counting is an abomination. Counting cards simply allows the player to use some skill in evening up the odds. The ban shows how crooked they really are in Vegas.

[yermom]

i gamble a little, but i can do that 10-15 minutes from my house

and card counting isn't illegal, it's just frowned upon :D

[AlbqSooner]

and card counting isn't illegal, it's just frowned upon :D

True. If you are not very good at it we let you count away.:D

[texaspokieokie]

little tougher to count,since they use multiple decks.

[Collier11]

It always amazes me when somebody tries to put down stuff that others enjoy, just cus you are too old and boring to enjoy Vegas doesnt mean we have to be :D

[Leroy Lizard]

I will gamble in pool. But I would never play for money unless I have negotiated a spot that I think evens the odds. (I have been wrong many times, but the games stop at that point.) Those who play when they know the odds are against them are fools.

And I never said that card counting was illegal, but rather banned. The multi-card shoes they use just goes to show you that at any time the sucker has a decent chance of winning, they'll take it away.

What do the people in the eye-in-the-sky think? Probably "What a bunch of suckers."

[Leroy Lizard]

So how much money did you bust Vegas for in your last trip. Let me guess: you won enough to pay for your trip, right?

[Collier11]

Im going next weekend as a matter of fact.

The last time I went I spent $250 gambling, I made that last all weekend. I dont go to Vegas just for gambling, the pools are great, there are great shows (I saw Jim Gaffigan do standup), great sight seeing, great food, etc... I love Vegas and would go 3 or 4 times a year if I could afford it

And since when does a vacation pay for itself? I mean, if I go to Cancun im paying thousands of dollars to sit on a beach and drink, if I go to NY which I did this year I am paying hundreds of dollars to sight see, same for DC when I went.

[Leroy Lizard]

And since when does a vacation pay for itself?

It doesn't. For some reason, gamblers always make you want to think that they somehow paid for their trip through their gambling winnings.

Why? Not sure. It makes them no less boneheaded, just lucky. Of course, it means nothing because it's all a lie anyway.

[Collier11]

Ive won money gambling before, not everytime. I certainly dont expect to come back next Sunday with thousands of dollars in my pocket, id be happy to break even

how is giving to the needy "throwing money away"?

[Leroy Lizard]

It's not.

[delhalew]

Gambling is fun. I can never seem to win craps, but I could play blackjack on the houses money indefinately. Win a little or win a lot, I have blast.

[Collier11]

Exactly, its a blast.

[delhalew]

Free drinks at the table Collie!!!:D

[Collier11]

No doubt, I can make $100 a night at the blackjack table last as long as I need to and get a ton of free drinks in the meantime :D

[Leroy Lizard]

If you could make $100 a night, then you could make $1,000 a night, or even $10,000 a night. In which case there would be no need to do anything but stay in Vegas full time and gamble.

[delhalew]

You misunderstood him. He was saying he could make $100 last as long as he needed to in order to have a good time. In my experience, that may mean changing tables or just walking away for a while. If you can make good choices and stay on top of the pulse of a table, there is no reason why you can't win. I haven't heard anyone say they could make a living that way. Of course, I recognize that was you taking something you know nothing about and doing your thing...you know, talking out of your ***.

[Leroy Lizard]

You misunderstood him. He was saying he could make $100 last as long as he needed to in order to have a good time.

Okay, my bad.

[delhalew]

While you can win a lot of money gambling, the biggest mistake a man could make would be to depend on it. These people who gamble on rent money, their kids back to school money, or their whole paycheck are lost. I'm sure we've all seen innocent lives torn apart.

[Leroy Lizard]

I bet the cleaning ladies inside some Vegas hotels have some real stories.

ever seen Very Bad Things with Christian Slater,Jeremy Piven, Daniel Stern, Cameron Diaz and John Favreau?

that's why i don't go to Vegas...

Not familiar with it.

[yermom]

i forgot about that movie

[JohnnyMack]

I won $45 playing War at the Wynn. Yes. They have War at the casinos now.

[yermom]

or you can just give your money to the dealer and he can take you out back and kick you in the nuts

[Crucifax Autumn]

I have a couple of neighbors here who haven't worked in years. They just play a lot and pay there bills with the winnings.

If winning was that steady, why not just bet more and become billionaires?

[delhalew]

Says the guy that doesn't gamble...

[Collier11]

Yes Leroy, you misunderstood me. I dont need to gamble a thousand dollars to have fun, I typically take $200-400 when I go to Vegas and if you are smart with it, you can make it last while having a good time. I go to break even, if I make money it is a bonus

[JohnnyMack]

I can play $10 blackjack tables for quite a while on $100. I may or may not win, but that's not really the point. Now is it?

[btk108]

Good movie!

Craps is the most fun to play, and that's why these co-called casinos in Oklahoma suck so bad, no dice!

One of the great things about that show was the sound quality, including the multiple speakers built into each seat. It really brings out things that sound new in songs you might have heard 100's of times before.
