**darrell74** · 05-11-17, 02:37 PM

At Red Rock yesterday, and it's one of the nicest in town.
Tonight, $80
NIfty, trendy restaurants with happy hour and good service.
I go there when I got a few hundred bucks to blow.

Then...

**darrell74** · 05-11-17, 02:44 PM

... $5 Uber ride to Suncoast or Rampart.
Golf course looks nice(I don't golf though)
Trendy area called Tivoli across the street from these two casinos.
Nice shopping and trendy restaurants.

Also, these places are way better service than what you get on the strip.
More drink comps, more discounts.
Reasonably priced restaurants.
All of those buffets are well under $20 on Friday-Sundays.(use your player points for these)
(Personally, I haven't payed for a buffet inover two years)

It's good that most people don't know this. Some good staycation shit without the animals getting in your way.

Red Rock is pretty chill
Lot of old people

I lice in North Las Vegas, so Green Valley is too far for me.
But I've been there twice and I can say that it's nice too.
I didn't go across the street to all tose shops, but it looked pretty nice too.

I'd recommend Santa Fe, but it's really far from the strip so I don't think tourists would be willing to go that far.
Sportsbook is upgraded, and my favorite.
Short on nice restaurants though. Just a couple.

**Ralphie Halves** · 05-11-17, 06:54 PM

I live closer to GVR, and it is really nice when you factor in the shops too. RR a nicer casino and hotel.

TI used to be one of cleanest in town

wonder how bad stratosphere is now considering they opened up with rooms like this

**compaqDikk** · 05-11-17, 11:28 PM

we hang at hostels or get fishead to hook us up with comps from the tunnel system near and under stardust

The resort fee for most decent strip hotels is between $29 - $39 per room per night plus the 13.38% tax ($32 - $43 total). Even if you find those room deals for $80 this "resort fee" blows that deal to smithereens. what do you get in the resort fee tou ask? At the aria, caesars and bellagio you get "free" internet access, gym access and free local calling. What a frigging rip off! Oh, you don't have a choice to decline these wonderful resort options. Time to do airbnb in vegas. Save the money or else go to reno or laughin.

agree

ohh and dont forget if you park on the strip you now have to pay for parking.

**Sam Odom** · 05-13-17, 09:50 AM

**Capitols44** · 05-13-17, 09:58 AM

Dont call me cheap. Las Vegas is one expensive vacation. I could go to several other cities around america that dont gouge you. Also their are gambling cities around the world that dont over charge you like vegas does. The funny thing is Las Vegas suppose to be the the city with the most hotels in it but there is no more real competition between casinos anymore as far as the customer getting decent prices they are owned by the same companies. If you want to go to a motel in Vegas there is plenty of low lifes ,scumbags ,homeless, Pimps,dealers and hookers that hangout there. There just are better motels in the u.s.

I don't know where you are looking but you can get Venetian or Bellagio for 200 a night easily.

what is nicer? i have stayed in both and don't notice a difference.

Thanks for the post! Definitely going to look into doing a different routine when I'm in Vegas again!

I try to keep it simple. Seems like it's easy to get a cheap room at Rio. I take the shuttle to Harrah's. Then boom you're right in front of Mirage and Caesars. Which I typically go back and forth to each sportsbook. Whichever sportsbook is giving out the most drink comps... I stay with. One time I was at Mirage book... this old lady (probably upper 50's) gave me a sh#$ load of drink comps. 12 total. Had fun flirting with the waitress turning them in. Sometimes you have to create your own entertainment on the fly.

I'm not a hard guy to please... just want some good entertainment at a cheap price. If I could get it anywhere on the strip... I'd go. But I can't ever find a good deal in walking distance.

Vegas changed their target market years ago. It's no longer for the gambler.

Trust me...You're a cheap fuk looking for everything to be given to you for $19.95 or less. Go get a cardboard box and find a fukkin bridge to sack out under if you want to live like a hobo

**jjgold** · 05-13-17, 11:52 AM

A lot of cheap guys in this thread to do not the long gambling

Blah-blah. English next time, Pedro.

**ChuckyTheGoat** · 05-13-17, 12:44 PM

Shot, that's a very good point. The "drink coupon" game is sort of funny:

1) Some places are super-generous w/ drink-coupons. Some are miserly. If I want an action bet which will get me a drink-ticket...I ask "how much do I have to bet?" Some places will say $50 (or $20).

2) If you're friendly w/ the clerk and give them a tip...they normally roll out the red-carpet. Usually more drink-coupons than u know what to do with. If I REALLY want to get a drink-ticket, I ask for one on the way out. Typically, the tip is followed up w/ a question "You want some drink-tickets?"

3) At the South Point...the older broads must wonder why their line is empty...but the Young HotGirl line is 10-deep.

Does that include hotel fees and free parking ?

**JIBBBY** · 05-13-17, 02:59 PM

Yep all the Hotels on the strip charge an over night parking fee now even if you are staying and paying at that hotel.. You don't have a choice in free parking anymore.. $10 bucks a pop every day right there...

The Hotel tax fees are another $10 or $20 on top of the normal rates also that they sneak on you. Complete highway robbery all across the board...

Just bend over and take it dry when you go to Vegas these days..

**SBR_Guest_Pro** · 05-13-17, 03:15 PM

We're charging resort fees at hotels in downtown San Francisco now

**Philmill** · 05-13-17, 03:40 PM

people go to Vegas or any other resort town to spend money....

business is there togather them dollars...

In Vegas smart sports gamblers can get payed for their stay....

i went in October, I've been to Las Vegas couple of dozen times in my life, but this was the first time I made it to GVR.
I was extremely impressed, also notied a lot of casinos in the Valley there gave you a very fair game, better than most BJ games on the strip.

It is for suckers

I like Sam's Town.
I always thought Orleans was kind of a dump but was told they have a terrific poker room, they do.

**Philmill** · 05-13-17, 08:24 PM

locals never go to the strip

its just a shit-show down there....

**INVEGA MAN** · 05-13-17, 08:44 PM

$10 a day to park:
MGM
ARIA
BELLAGIO
DELANO
EXCALIBUR
MANDALY BAY
MGM GRAND
MIRAGE
MONTE CARLO
NEW YORK NEW YORK

**Plaza23** · 05-13-17, 08:50 PM

I was in Vegas 4 years ago and will never go back. If I have $1,000 to spend on a weekend get away, I'm going to Dominican Republic, Cancun, or even Miami if I only want the beach. Nobody should go to Vegas anymore for gambling. You can find the same games way closer to where you live at any casino. And sports betting, please the offshore lines are better than what's offered in vegas. The only reason to go to Las Vegas are for the shows. That's it. Otherwise, It's an overpriced shit hole.
