LV- What is your casino of choice?

Just moved to LV, wondering what your favorite place to play is in Vegas and why?

Been playing at the Bellagio for a few weeks now, pretty easy game and i love the poker room (well lit, good drink service, decent size)

Want some input from other regs in the city

This actually should be the right forum for your question

I like the B too. It gets enough touristy players. I also like Wynn.

From latest chatter Aria seems to be extremely popular. Are you swiping cardio earn comps? Don't overlook that

V for me. Good food and table service. Clean and bright. Good waitresses. I like the staff. Dealers are good. Good tourneys. Comfortable chairs. Tourist to reg ratio is good.

I don't like the B at all as it is opposite for most of the above. Aria is ok but tons of regs and game seems tougher.

I always thought MGM Grand was really touristy.

For luxury and atmosphere you can't beat mermaids on Freemont. Mermaids is the Wynn of Freemont.

*begins slow clap*

The best part of googling Mermaids is that it doesn't appear to have taken the cutting edge step of developing its own website beyond a facebook page.

Re: LV- What is your casino of choice?

The best is the Mermaids Yelp page. Every person basically says its a sht-hole, and they go there for the twinkies and oreos. Than the mermaids yelp guy chimes in with a thank you.

"The 99 cent deep fried oreos seemed fresher than I remembered"

Huh?

Re: LV- What is your casino of choice?

This must be re-created in its entirety:

Quote:
I'm a fan to practically anything fried. The stars are due to Nathan's for serving up those appetizing, deep fried, calorie bursting, treats. When I saw the sign I rushed in with two kids in hand and got blocked by 2 showgirls that were handing out beads. "Sorry you can enter but not your children." one of the girls told me. So I handed them off to my husband and promised my children I would return with deep fried goodness.

Oh mother of Batman. I couldn't believe my eyes for the deals of such deep fried deliciousness. 99 CENTS Twinkies and Oreos.

I think my stomach just grew a bit bigger when I read the price list and I went berserk. There I went ordering a way.

-My Order
2 orders of deep fried Oreos (99 cents)
http://www.yelp.com/biz_…

2 orders of deep fried Twinkies (99 cents)
http://www.yelp.com/biz_…

All American Hot dog (99cents)

2 corn dogs ($1.99)

Worstecher Hot Dog
http://www.yelp.com/biz_…

2 orders of fries

As I said my order frantically, I noticed that the worker didn't even write it down. "Uh, are you going to write down my order?" I questioned him. "No, I got it all up here." and he pointed to his head. He recited the order again and I decided to add on some H20 to help me eat it faster, fountain drinks for my hubster, and cu-sin-sin. As I scanned the menu again I added the chocolate dipped banana. When it comes to desserts I'm a bottomless pit.

The cashier was quite nice as well and jokingly said, "someones quite hungry over here." "I have a family out there waiting for me," I replied. "Sure," he laughed.

Out I left with a box full of treats to a husband shaking his head and disapproval. The deep fried Oreos and Twinkies were gargantuan compared to what I'm used to. My mouth couldn't open wide enough to engulf it.

The Casino-
I've gambled here before and they still have the slot machines that dispense coins! It's just a different excitement when you hear your winnings 'clink, clink, clink.'. Drink servers are readily found and start up a conversation.

Definitely try those deep fried goodies or experience the slot machines that dispense coins.
Screw it: every one of those yelp review for Mermaids is gold!
