    Wtf is the western? I always stay at the MGM or Bellagio where I don't have to spend a dime. Someone from sbr emailed me asking if I needed a room for the bash awhile back. The only time I've ever paid for a room was the first time I went to Vegas.

    Western closed down, so I had to change you to El Cortez.

    No need for the "Bellagio/MGM" schtick here, you are an El Cortez person tried and true. You can drop the act now

    I need to make a video when I get to Vegas. They make me feel like a millionaire. Limo pick up chocolates in the room whatever drink I want on ice. VIP pass for buffet. Check in though VIP no line. I'm sure I'm forgetting other things. But I'm sure they do that for every clown like me that losses 10k on high limit slots before I even take my bags to the room.

    You are one of the few on this board who I actually believe when you say "I only stay at 5 star hotels"

    Most people on this board who say that I think are making it up and in reality stay at some low roller joint like Palace Station

    5 star hotels are nice, but in Vegas I actually prefer the 4 stars to the 5 stars.

    Too much riff raff $30k/year millionaires at places like Caesers, Bellagio, City Center in Vegas who are trying to squeeze every last dime out of themselves and their experience at these places, and act like they are bigger than they really are. Even if I only see these people in the lobbies/check in stand, still, it makes me devalue where I am

    People at the 4 star hotels are more humble. I'd rather stay at Mandalay, Mirage, Treasure Island, Palms, etc. any day over the 5 star hotels in Vegas except maybe the Venetian/Palazzo.

    IMO bellagio and caesars are not 5 star. nowhere near it. great location. thats it. bellagio is run the fukk down. but it has best location in vegas

    and city center is new and thats the only reason people think its 5 star

    aria is ok. never stayed there. was supposed to stay there last time out but switched to encore

    IMO the only 5 star hotels in vegas are wynn encore palazzo and venetian

    horrible location especially wynn and encore but very nice hotels. amenities make up for the location with those 2.

    I posted a pic on sbr facebook of a 30k slot win at Chactaw last year. You can go to their website and look at past winners I should be there. If you still think I play penny slots then I guess I'm just an old blue haired bingo player lmao

    I can vouch for Bronxer. Not only does he stay in the top hotels, but he always gets primo room/suite.

    I usually stay at the Golden Nugget. Only because we get everything free there everytime we go.

    But....my wife has told me she's had just about enough of that place. Looks like we'll be changing venues soon.

    Don't waste your time or money with Losestar or Sucktaw

    Better off making the 3.5 hour drive to Shreveport where the casinos are actually regulated and you don't have to pay antes on the table games

    I bet the return on the slots at Losetar/Sucktaw are even worse than McCarran Airport

    its not comped

    i don't play any casino games. only sports book action. no opportunity for comps


    the best i can do in vegas is trudie at the wynn gives me a sports book rate which is good at wynn or encore and its just a slight discount

    I can't be gone that long. It's hit or miss these days up there. I've had some very good nights lately it's 1500 gone in 15 mins and cussing the whole hour home.

    I used to go up to Losestar about once a month to play blackjack, that was before I learned just how much the $.50 antes add to the house edge. I emailed Michael Shackleford about it and he said I shouldn't play anything there, especially blackjack, on principle alone.

    I would add Cosmo at 5 star or close

    I'm on my phone so I can't get the laptop from my son. He's playing wow on a raid or something he started screaming at me when I took it. It should be right on the front page not in past pics.

    Can folks who know give a quick rundown of classes of Vegas hotels?

    For example which ones excel at

    Elite caliber
    Good value/bang for buck
    Quality of crowd/party scene
    Quality of sportsbook
    Cheap for broke degens
    etc

    I would like to know what I am looking at here.

    I'll give you a run down where I've stayed.

    Bellagio very nice rooms buffet steak house very expensive if not comped. Sports book very nice but always packed. As far as other players bunch of rich people that are not friendly. Drinks come every min as long as you are playing in high limits.

    MGM nice rooms buffet to small dining expensive here too. Very likely to see celebrity's here and gamble along side of them. Drinks come every 2 mins no matter what limits. Mostly nice people around you and lots of hot women.

    Excalibur horrablie rooms dining not that great but lots of fast food if budget is tight. Drinks come around every 15 mins. Shity high limit area. Mostly low income people but heard its worse other places. Would never stay there again. Never saw the sports book hated the place.

    Rio just renovated big rooms not a bad place. Food pretty good for the price also has fast food if money is tight. Drinks come every 5-10 mins. High limit room is okay. Very friendly people to gamble beside very big sports book usually open spots.

    Hope this helps a little never stayed at to many places. I always stay where its free. Dining will kill the pocket book if you have to pay for food. There's a lot of good value places to eat just grab some brochures at the airport. Good luck
