The scooter tour around downtown was awesome. It was only a couple hours long but it was fun riding the electric scooters and eating some tacos. We learned a little bit more about the history of downtown too and checked out container park.





After the scooter tour, we wandered around Fremont a little bit killing time before our Mike Hammer show. Played some Keno at The D (won a little, but still down) and put in my season long bets for MLB and NFL. I like picking a few teams to win the championship for each sport. It gives me something to follow after my fantasy teams flame out.



The Mike Hammer show at Four Queens was hilarious. I highly recommend it. He picks on a lot of people in the crowd so expect that. Honestly, I thought it was better than Piff and O. Far less expensive too. Afterwards, we ubered back to Flamingo for some good court grub and headed back to the room.

We saw Ja Rule in the Vegas airport yesterday before our flight. He stopped for a pic with a fan and with his hoodie up and shades on, I figured he wouldn’t want another person asking for a photo. It’s murdah!!!!!!!

Back home now in Florida. It was a great trip overall. Thanks for following along.

Scooter, taco tour of downtown sounds awesome. At first thought it was this kind of scooter.

Thanks for the TR--well done! Personally drawn to the MF Doom mural you posted. Also, not a very nature-y guy but a lot of those pics got me tempted to make a drive next time I'm out there

Hey op, how was the Flamingo? I'll be there next month and haven't been there in about 10yrs. Anything been upgraded lately? Do they still have the dancers behind the table games?

It was okay. We had the Flamingo Premium room which was very spacious. It had a separate couch sitting area with a second larger TV. The negatives to Flamingo, imo, were that they didn’t have a poker room (but short walk to a few other rooms) and how the casino area was so much smokier than other casinos.

I didn’t see any dancers on tables there. I saw them somewhere else though (maybe Circa or The D?).

As much as I love Vegas, it’s good to be home.



(Bought in for $200 about 3 hours ago)

Assume you are referring to Planet Hollywood and their 'Pleasure Pit'.

I wonder if he means the old "dealertainers"? Can't remember if that was the Flamingo, but one of those in that area used to have table game dealers dressed as Elvis, Madonna, etc.

No and no. Back in like 2015 Flamingo had dancers up on mini stages between line of tables. Might have been around 2012. But the last few times I’ve walked through there, no dancers. Not sure if being there in January had anything to do with that or not
