Saldek Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 ^ I want - to tour - the steakhouses. That sounds like a major protein injury waiting to happen! Where do I sign up?!
bert425 Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 ^ I want - to tour - the steakhouses. Some of the menus are pretty nice for the price. in particular the Steakhouse at Circus Circus!. . it's one of our favorite restaurants on the planet. here's the regular menu: https://www.circuscircus.com/images/PDF/SteakhouseMenu.pdf but w/ Restaurant week, ~$50 gets you: a main that retails for $95 ($45 petite Fillet + $50 crab legs topper). not to mention any soup/salad (~$13) + a desert ($10-$14). hell of a deal. http://www.helpoutdineoutlv.org/component/restaurants/582?view=restaurant&tmpl=restaurant
Jew Posted June 7, 2015 Author Posted June 7, 2015 Glad I was already planning to be in town that week!
jray21 Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 I am missing that event by hours. I arrive in Vegas for a convention on the 26th, at about 9:30 pm. So annoyed now!!
gisco Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 I would spend way too much money and eat way to much if I was in town that week.
Meteornotes Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 ^^Joey, they planned the event around your visit, as it is known you'd bankrupt anywhere you ate! dt
Jew Posted June 12, 2015 Author Posted June 12, 2015 ^That might be dangerous to your health depending on which buffet you chose to eat at! Aria is my current favorite on the strip...an Indian food station!!!
jray21 Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Good to know! Amy doesn't care for Indian food but I love it so I'll definitely visit it. Also, how's the Bacchanal Buffet? Is it worth it?
bert425 Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 ^That might be dangerous to your health depending on which buffet you chose to eat at! Aria is my current favorite on the strip...an Indian food station!!! We still love the one in Cosmopolitan (Wicked Spoon) as our choice for best buffet in town: http://www.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com/taste/restaurant-collection/wicked-spoon.aspx tho their prices have DEFINITELY gone up in the past couple of years.
bert425 Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Good to know! Amy doesn't care for Indian food but I love it so I'll definitely visit it. Also, how's the Bacchanal Buffet? Is it worth it? that's the one at Caesar's, correct? if yes, ew. (a LOT of folks rave about it. . we thought it was super expensive for so-so food). The other good Buffets in town we like are: Mirage (decent to good food, cheaper than most of this quality) Golden Nugget (downtown) on Fri/Sat -- Seafood Buffet Rio (not the main buffet, but the Seafood one over in the Carnival in the Sky section of the Casino). all others (except for Aria, and Cosmopolitan), you're tempting fate. .tho the view of the gardens at the Flamingo makesup for the poor quality food . . and the price is super-reasonable. just my 2cents.
Jew Posted July 1, 2015 Author Posted July 1, 2015 ^I did Mandalay's over my recent stay and it was hit or miss. Some items were average (prime rib was good, but a little tough) and others were amazing (the Asian food section with good orange chicken, noodles, and gyoza).
gisco Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 I will be in Vegas twice this year. What are some of the must see or do things outside of the casinos and downtown?
bert425 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 I will be in Vegas twice this year. What are some of the must see or do things outside of the casinos and downtown? as I tell everyone. . Absinthe, in the tent outside of Caesar's Palace. One of the best shows we've ever seen in Vegas. intimate theater in the round. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] http://www.absinthevegas.com/
DirkFunk Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 US Bankruptcy Court has ruled that Caesars must face lawsuits from creditors and the stock immediately nose-dived. It's down about 40% right now with the company suggesting that it will join Harrah's (operating company) in bankruptcy as a result of this. One has to believe Bally's and Flamingo could be in trouble as a result.
Double0Kevin Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 I would not count on Flamingo or Bally's being willingly sold off. Caesars would have to be forced to sell before they let those go. Harrah's and Rio are the most likely candidates if it comes to Vegas, which I doubt. Don't forget Caesars owns over 50 casinos worldwide, I'm sure the small markets will go before they lose anything in Vegas. Or they could just set something on fire and collect the insurance. http://www.fox5vegas.com/story/29632051/at-least-2-people-injured-in-fire-at-cosmopolitan
Jew Posted July 26, 2015 Author Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) ^I think it's going to be tied up in the courts for a LONG time. I doubt all these investors suing have much interest in settling for the smaller properties. In fact, that's already one of the accusations made: that all the valuable assets were shifted away from them. Bally's was one of the properties shifted to the company that Ceasar's was trying to protect. Basically this whole thing is a lot of really rich people thinking they could outsmart each other and destroying a company in the process. It's impossible to keep up with all the accounting tricks they've tried. Edited July 26, 2015 by Jew
DoinItForTheFame Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Just because I thought this was a great photo, and it is in Vegas!! Not sure you could get me on that thing. I am not a huge fan of dangling at crazy heights by a tiny little cable. Source.
thedlr Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 This seems like the appropriate place for this... So I finally rode the Slotzilla Upper Zoomline tonight thanks to their half price anniversary deal. Fun ride. Worth it at $20. Not sure it's worth the regular $40. The hour-long wait to actually fly is kind of ridiculous. My check-in time was 9:40pm and I finally zoomed at 10:50pm. Anyway, worth doing once. (I also rode the original zip line when it was just a temporary structure).
gisco Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 I'll have to keep this in mind when I'm there next month staying at the Golden Nugget
Jew Posted September 3, 2015 Author Posted September 3, 2015 I'll have to keep this in mind when I'm there next month staying at the Golden Nugget Hopefully it's not a busy weekend when you stay there. I didn't get to park at the hotel (valet or regular) despite the fact I was staying there for EDC weekend because they were at capacity the whole time...
gisco Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Were is a good place to run? I need to put 10+ miles while I'm there next month.
