Discount on Rosanne Barr Tickets

May 23rd, 2007

I’m heading out to Vegas next week and would like to see Roseanne Barr’s show over at New York, NY.  Does anybody know if they have or offer any  discount on tickets for her show at the 1/2 price outlets?  Thanks!

Jon in CT

Dunno for sure but I would definitely check the half-price outlets at Hawaiian Marketplace and the giant Coke bottle, across from NYNY. Somebody on the LVA forum said some outfit was giving away free tickets to Vegas locals to fill up the seats (local I.D. required).

The Big Shot ride at the Stratosphere

May 22nd, 2007

I may go back to Las Vegas sometimes this year.  If so, one thing I’d like to do is ride The Big Shot ride at the Stratosphere.  I’m too nervous about trying the other two rides up there; those two hang over the edge of the tower.  I’ve seen various clips of The Big Shot on youtube.  To those who have been on this ride, how scary is it compared to a standard roller coaster?  Like the coaster at the Sahara or New York, New York hotels.  The  latter rollercoaster was enjoyable, but extremely rough.

I found it far less scarey than most roller coasters and a lot of fun.

Las Vegas Trip Report Short and Sweet

May 22nd, 2007

As a regular to LV ( parents live there) i’ll make this report short . Flew in on a nonstop SW flight out of Spokane ( due to a ding deal 50 bucks a way!).Arrived on Wed. at 9PM and rented a car from Alamo ( 100 a week with tax 150 via their site for an econ.) found the new terminal easy and quick, got a Sonata and quickly found my way to the Gold Coast for the first 2 nights ( 49 a night including a 25 buck food included). Poroceeded to gamble ( VP my game, slots wife) til late comign up slightly ahead. Thursday we took the folks to TC’s rib crib, and my 87 year old mom loved it as did all of us. I reccommend this place as they are truly freindly and having tried all the BBQ in Vegas over the years, this one was the best! gaqmbled again that night and we left the coast happy on friday to check into our Harrah’s deal at Bally’s ( 77 a night for the weekend..).

Wee are plat. card holders so easy checkin and got a great room facing out towards the Belliago fountain. Proceeded to gamble ( found decent VP over in the left hand corner of the frontby the bar) and usually stay at the Flamingo, but found Ballly’s just right as the suite was big and roomy. Friday night we went to see Spama lot ( 69 buck tickets) and laughed our butts off. Joined their club got the required 100 points for two free buffets
anytime we wanted( more later). Sat was family day, and dinner was at the Paris Mon Ami, which had excellant service and great food.

Sunday monring was check in to the Golden Nugget( downtown can you see the fact we where, local casino, strip and finally downtown) where the line  for check in was huge, so I went over to the South entrance and there was no line , easy check in. I must admit I would nopt stay again in the south end because:1- it’s a walk ( not as great as anyone
who does strip hotels can tell you…) and 2- the rooms are small( I wonder how they ever got a 4 star rating…). Dinner that night was at PF Chang’s ( my mom’s favorite, on Paradise) and everyone love the food and service. We proceeded back downtown where the C&W shows where going on from both stages…We usually gamble at Freemont( love the VP there) and moved back anf forth between both places. The Nugget’s new pool is awesome with a slide going through the shark tank, open til late at night and one could just hang out and relax there under the stars. The pool has chasie louges in the water which is very cool for those that want to sunbathe but we just avoid the sun as regulars do until later in the day. Monday was dinner at the Wynn and buffet lione moved quickly and in our eyes was one of the the top three to go to( Bellagio and Paris being the other two). Not being much for buffets, the food was ample and prepared right, along with many tasty desserts.

Tuesday got a father and son thing at the Stage for the lunch special ( 1/2 sand and soup…yummm) then  that nioght over to the El Cortez (my wife had never been there) for some gambling and drinking. On the way back over to the Martini bar in the Side Car( next to lady luck) rated the best in vegas and it was! Follwed by much gambling into Wed. morning. Check out and off to rental return but first mom wanted to have luch with us at Metro pizza on Decatuer and as usual, it was great( their lucheon speical of a salad and small pie is wonderful). A quick stop at the outlet malls on the south side ( near the return
rental area) and one qucik bite at the bootlegger bistro ( no ellis this time….sorry)then home on a nonstop.

In summary, I would do the trip exactly the same, exept I discovered the following: Bills place is a poor casino as a replacement for Barbary coast, one could see that Harrah’s is ready to blow it up. Hopefully I’ll post more on the next trip soon…..
