Vegas Report
Buffets have gone downhill big time. Our fav, Paris, is a ghost of its former splendor. Not sucks, but isn't to die for anymore.
We didn't get to Tournament of Kings. Do you know how long a Vegas block is? I believe approximately one mile. We couldn't even walk that far.
We did go to a couple of new places:
Terrible's: Yes, it is. Don't bother. The $4.99 buffet is poisonous and not worth the trip off strip.
Hooter's: Offers $3.00 blackjack. Yeah, sure. If you're really early and want to wait a couple of hours for a stool at the ONE table. We left, unassuaged.
We did play $5.00 blackjack and Flamingo's. Music is way too loud, but they did go into a 50's rift that we enjoyed. Nothing like about four margaritas to get you singing along with the oldies. Best part that in two days play, we left up about $90. That was cool.
Jubilee: This is the Bally's hearken back to old Las Vegas showgirls. Yeah, topless. Not too disturbing, but my writer/critiquer side really wondered what the point was. There is no point to the topless part except to tittilate juvenile males. Sad. The dancing and singing was okay, but nowhere as good as we've seen at the Rio's FREE show before. Disappointing.
Nathan Burton: Fun afternoon, relatively cheap (for Vegas) comedy magician. Good show. Some really nice tricks. Worthwhile investment.
Buffets overall: Nowhere near as good as they used to be. Las Vegas is in denial. Make those buffets about five bucks and you'll fill your f-in' casinos. Same with setting lots of $3.00 blackjack tables. What good does it do to have dealers standing at the $10 tables with nary a player? Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Penny poker is the way to go to spend your time without going broke.
Maybe Reno is our next destination?
