If you stay at Bellagio, play slots, eat at 4 star restaurants and expect to see something here that might interest you, you don%26#39;t know me and you might be bored. If you do know me, like to drink, look at beautiful women, play 21or like craps (lost my virginity this trip), read on.
JetBlue from IAD non-stop was the best. Great service, good, plentiful snacks, personal TV%26#39;s with DirecTv, leather seats, tons of legroom and arrived 15 mins early. What more can you ask for 150 bucks round trip?!
Met our driver from Presidential (Carletta)( ask for her and mention me) and finally got our bags. Out to the limo and on the road in minutes. Carletta took us to Vons (I%26#39;m now a Vons Club member) for party supplies and some bleach for her and after stocking up on beer and Grey Goose we hopped in the limo for some serious champagne drinking (no rose vp) and a trip up the Strip to see the changes and the sadly dark Stardust.
Let me tell you, a limo beats a cab anyday and for the most part is not that much more money compared to the service. She gave us a good 1.5 hours of ride and the return trip (that comes later) was just as good.
Arrive at the El Cortez and with no bellman in sight, lug our bags to the front desk, some 25 feet away. As we stand there some guy at the bar (which is 30 feet away from the valet entrance) says, ';Hey, are you from DC?'; Guess who it was . Chitown and the Lady. So we chatted as my buddy Joe checked in and afterward carried the bags to the room.
Now this joint was a mere $25 per/ night, so I was suprised at the room size, the cleanliness and the furnishings. The entire hotel harkins back to the 40%26#39;s and I though that was great. Don%26#39;t stay here if you need your hand held. Ain%26#39;t gonna happen. But the maid service was great and after tipping $5 per day we had more freakin%26#39; pillows and towels (which were big, new and soft) than we could use.
Headed back down to the bar after trying to get another limo and chatted with Chitown and the Lady (nice glasses again J) and had a cocktail while I finally got through to Presidential for the limo to the Mirage. This driver was a bit weird, but then it was the night shift. So Jeff (weird guy) arrives in the Lincoln stretch and off to Mirage to pick-up Gabby and Martin. We all meet and off we go down the Strip to the sign. I now know why Gabby is her name. LOL So we pull up to the famous sign and Joe (my buddy) takes a picture of some random drunks who were there then we four line up for Jeff to take our pic. OK, now what? So we go on over to Ellis Island so they can all see where it is and I had to pee like a race horse.
On to the Wynn. Holy Crap this place is nice. So we walk in gawking at the place and find this bar near the casino since we have some cash that vp03 sent to buy us cocktails. (Thanks again VP!) I think no, I want the Parasol Bar. So I ask where it is. Well hell that IS the Parasol. LOL Turns out there is only one cocktail girl in the place , but she took good care of us. $70 -tip later and some great conversation, we stagger out to the cab stand to head our separate ways at 3am Vegas time.
Joe and I had to tell the cabby NO 5 times when he kept offering to take us to a gentlemans club, but he finally got us back to the ElCo for about 15 bucks. Joe has this great idea to play Craps. Great, my first time. I didn%26#39;t do too bad. Only threw the dice off the table a few times, but hey, I was a newbie. Ended up down about $50 and made my way to bed about 7am. (I think).....
Dr. Vegas' trip report. 12/10 to 12/13 Part Uno...
And, so, it starts! The anticipation is about to kill me. It wasn%26#39;t enough that I couldn%26#39;t make the M%26amp;G, now I have to wait forever to hear the accounting of it. I want more. Come on Doc and the rest of you, let%26#39;s have it.
Dr. Vegas' trip report. 12/10 to 12/13 Part Uno...
I was paitiently waiting for your report....can麓t wait to hear how the MG went...
Lmao, I%26#39;m sure Gabby%26#39;s going to LOVE what you said about her name!
Good reading so far buddy, keep it coming.
I think that the cabby driving you back to the EC was hoping to be rewarded with a ';$100 handshake'; by the doorman at the club. At least that%26#39;s what I%26#39;ve heard, second-hand, of course. I only do cabs in Vegas to the airport, so I%26#39;ve never experienced such pressure tactics. Good report so far-keep %26#39;em coming!
Great report.....I really like ';I am now a Von%26#39;s member';.....you sound like such the character Dr V! Can%26#39;t wait for more!
More is coming, but my notes get more and more disjointed and un- readable. The ole lady said I write like well.. a doctor. LOL
Yeah SC, it%26#39;s $60 min. depending on the club. NEVER EVER pay the cabby to go to any gentleman%26#39;s club. Let him pay the fare.
You are welcome, doc. Thanks for not calling me from the Wynn! Was gabby wearing those Uggs??? You can skip the random drunks picture- I have enough of those already.
I%26#39;m still p**** you didn%26#39;t call when you were in Springfield!
Glad you had a great time. I can just pickture this group. And although some of us do like the Bellagio, we can still appreciate your trip and report.
Glad someone had the nerve to try craps and not get carried out for making first time mistakes.
Keep the story coming.
LOL Mrs. P.
I was just off Silverbrook by the new highschool/ old prison. I even went through Manassas by the PWP then took Yates Ford.
Call you? Do I know your #?
Damn that fog was THICK Thursday morning! It made 28 a parking lot at 7am.
