If
you have never been to Las Vegas
or haven't been there in 2 years than this review
will be helpful to you. The city is constantly
changing and growing. I love playing Texas Holdem
poker online but after playing everday for quite
some time it is nice to get away. And it is nice
to be able to afford to take a nice vacation like
this. Before I became an online poker player as a
profession I would never have dreamed of going to
Vegas for ten days and satying
at one of the most beautiful hotels in the world
- The Venetian....
Las Vegas Transportation
On my first trip to Vegas we didn't rent a car.
We took a shuttle for 8 bucks from the airport to
out hotel and walked or took the bus/ taxis for
the rest of the trip. Ever since then we have
rented a car. If you go midweek or offseason It
is very cheap to rent a car in Vegas. We never
payed more than 25 bucks a day. If you add up the
cost of taxis and shuttles, it seems much smarter
to rent a car.
Beware if you are a timid driver, people drive
like maniacs there! If you prefer to get the
exercise than the shuttle may be the best bet for
you. There are buses every 10 min going up and
down the strip, and there are many free mono rail
trams going beetween many of the casinos on the
strip.
My reccomendation is to rent a car and bring a
wad of singles with and valet it. If you are like
me you will want to go and see all of the
beautiful casinos. There is nothing better than
driving to the front door and having it parked. I
usually tip a buck or two. Otherwise you can park
in the parking structures for free.
Las Vegas Hotels
The Venetian - if you can afford to I would
highly suggest staying here. It was by far the
nicest hotel I have ever been to. The bathroom
was HUGE, with a jacuzzi tub, double sink,
seperate shower, the toilet was in a seperate
room with a phone, marble floors.
However the Las Vegas Club was pretty nice the
rooms were very large thay had a couch. I have
stayed at other hotels downtown and most are in
that price range and more expensive weekends and
peak season. So If you want to be pampered and
stay somewhere nice find a hotel on the strip-
The Venetian and the Belagio are very nice, and
very expensive. The MGM or Luxor or New York are
mid priced.. If you want to go cheap stay
downtown.
Las Vegas Drinks
If you love to gamble and love to drink PERFECT-
If you are gambling drinks are free. So dont
spend 8 bucks at the bar, hit the tables or slots
and drink on the house.
Las Vegas Gambling
My suggestion for gambling comes down to
preference and cash. On weekends and peak times
it is hard to find a blackjack table with a 5
dollar minimum on the strip. Most are ten bucks
and up. So If you are on a budget I suggest
gambling downtown. They have plenty of five
dollar tables and even three dollar tables. They
also have single and double deck blackjack games
downtown for lower limits. We found most casinos
on the strip use auto shufflers and are 6+ decks-
This makes for very bad odds. On this trip I
mostly played blackjack. I consider online poker
my profession and being on vacation I needed a
little break. So I played mostly blackjack and
the horses.
Las Vegas Food
Where to eat? We ate so much food on this trip, I
must have gained 20 pounds...Lets start out with
the buffets:
The best buffet I have ever had is The Spice
Market Buffet in the Aladdin Casino. It was
around $25 and the food was amazing. They had
food in diferent categories, American, Mexican,
etc. Everything I tasted was delicious. The fruit
they had was fresh, the desserts were amazing. I
highly recommend this buffet.
Las Vegas Bars and Clubs
Wanna hit the clubs? One of my favorites is the
Ghost Bar on top of the Palms casino. They filmed
MTV's Real World las Vegas at the Palms, and the
cast frequented the Ghost bar.. Its part outside
on the top of the building. The views of the
strip are amazing. Mostly a younger crowd.
