Must be a Monday thing...It's still there. I was thinking of Stardust

yeah I never got to see the Stardust? Isn't the Bellagio where the Stardust used to be?

I have actually never been to Circus Circus, at least I don't think.

I know the Boardwalk is now gone, for that new place called the Cosmopolitian or something. I have heard that the Aladdin/Planet Hollywood is extremely nice now

Boardwalk is becoming City Center. PH's casino's better than when it was the Aladdin. Sands was where the Bellagio is. Stardust was on the north strip. They're supposed to be rebuilding it. Cost less to implode and rebuild, than to remodel.
Excalibur redid their sports book last year. Moved it into the back of the casino, past the poker room.

I was very happy with the service and atmosphere at Planet Hollywood. I stayed at Ballys last time and they didn’t comp me for sh!t so I think im gonna move my business to Planet Hollywood for my next visit, but their sportsbook is small, and that’s putting it kind. But its more of a trendy new casino as appose to the old schoolers like ballys, flamingo, etc.
I was really not to overly impressed with Caesars book….. it had high ceilings…….. that’s about all I got

Circus Circus, never been…. I hear from the locals that’s that is where all the petafiles hang out on the strip…. Gewwwwwwwwww

Also liked MGM’s little wrap around book as well

Boyd who owned Stardust is building their own version of a City Center on the North end. There is also talk Wynn is planning the same thing.

MGM decided they wanted to turn the STRIP into a City with stores, condos, libraries, schools etc...........now everyone is following suite.

It is smart, the girls that we go with to Vegas, they do two things, 1) Sit by the pool from 8:30 till about 2pm and then from 3 till 7, they are shopping all over the place.

prices out there are outrageous! Chicago markup's bad, Vegas is worse. Been in those places walking around with my sister (although she normally spends just as much time in the casinos as me). If having a bad day, kill a couple hrs walking thru Caesars' shops. Then go back at it.

1) They are pretty cool
2) With them, alot easier to get into clubs
3) They have four growths that are very large
4) Help us not look like the losers that we are

Same crew as KY Derby + two chicks, we are even allowing Lights On to come after his first vacation performance

I can't believe GPK actually said he likes the Excalibur.

I just lost a lot of respect for you bro

I like casinos I have the most luck at...it's that simple. Did okay with the horses there. Made some great $$$ at the craps table there....and the pickings were EASY at the 2/5 NL game.

As long as you sit at the NL tables. Don't even think of sitting at the limit tables. You will have to be committed to the insane asylum before the night is over. STUPID people playing those tables.
