Hi all,

I am going to Vegas in two weeks and staying at the Linq!

I am very excited as this will be my second solo trip!!

Any recommendations in general

What about for food/coffee/desserts?

I liked Caesar's Palace food court a lot (Earl of Sandwich)

I heard that the Venetian has amazing carrot cake.

I am here to grind 1/2 and 1/3.

I went last December for 5 nights and had a MASSIVE upswing.

I played primarily at the Bellagio but also the Wynn, venetian and Aria.

The Wynn kinda felt like an exclusive club/every one knew each other.


I also plan on going back in December and am looking at either Vdara, Aria, or Bellagio if anyone has any strong recommendations for either of these 3 please let me know. Pros/Cons?

I am thinking about a TR here!

No offense, but you didn't really ask any meaningful question here, nor did you give any indication of what you would like.

There is a fine dining thread, and a casual dining thread. Look there/ask there for food recs.

If you want the carrot cake cuz Jaman, just do it.

If you didn't have fun at a specific casino last time, don't go back. Or do go back, since your sample size was way too small to be meaningful. (But I'll bite: I found the Flamingo a donkalicious time, and it's near Linq. but again, I only have 2 trips under my belt, so maybe I just got lucky.)

Do a TR, it adds something extra to your experience, and cuts through the isolation a bit. Or get a lot of weed and/or hookers, ymmv.

If you've never seen Cirque, Mystere at TI or KA are great. Buy the best seats they offer.

Run good.

It looks like you know your way around a lot better than I do, particularly at the poker table. I might suggest doing some dining at some of the locations off from the Strip, so check out the Fine Dining as well as the Casual Dining threads.

I hope that you go 15-0 again this trip.

I really liked mystere a lot ! I was thinking KA or O as well.

The flamingo late at night looks like the nuts honestly lol

I really like the location of the Linq cuz it’s easily walkable to the Wynn or aria

I also think Linq is (for low-rent ballers like you and I) perfect. Flamingo does have a pool, however, for next time.

Saw O, was disappointed, everyone I talked to at the show and at the table later on felt the same way. KA is a martial-arts themed show, not really my thing but I loved it anyway.

So you stayed at the Linq as well? I was kinda skeptical but just couldn’t pass up the location and price!

Thank you for letting me know about the shoes! That’s a good heads up!
