OK - here goes - I think part of my brain has recovered......
Right outa the gate - there was an equipment change in Atlanta Hartsfield - switched to a 767-400 and was booked in first class - with reclining seats, personal TV, the works. What a great start to a vacation!!
Arrived in Vegas at 9:30 am with the whole day ahead of me. VIP check in at the Golden Nugget - and got the room I requested. It wasn't cleaned yet - so they put a rush on it and said it would be ready at 11. Off to breakfast with the ladies and when we were finished the room was ready - so I moved in for the week.
The remodel at the Golden Nugget is great and still in progress - but you couldn't tell they were still working on it unless you saw the outside between the parking garage and the tower. That area is all blocked off because they are building another tower. The pool and shark tank are beautiful and they added an italian restaurant and bar next to the pool (The Grotto). The south tower lobby is finished and is nice. They put in another Starbucks which came in handy when I needed a boost of energy in the afternoon (practically everyday)
The first night (Sunday) we were on the hunt for the MegaMillions slot machines. The first one we came across was at the Golden Gate (downtown). To make a long story short - we each put $20 in the machine and after a couple of really good hits we had it up to over $500. Well - we kept playing and a couple of spins later hit the 3X - 3X - 2X - on the line!! $4500 jackpot. That took care of the cost of our trip so after that it was all fun and games. I played the whole week on Vegas money!! Woo Hoo!!
Tips for Cindy -
Play downtown. The slots pay much better there than on the strip. The blazing 7's at Binion's were paying really good - and the Golden Gate is always lucky for me. Hunt for the Wheel of Fortune $1 machines that only take 2 credits. Those are usually lucky too.
Take the Duece to the strip. It is a double decker bus - you can catch it at the end of Fremont street or at the bus station (which is located two blocks north of Fremont St.) It is $5 for an all day pass - and it stops all up and down Las Vegas Blvd. Cheapest and easiest way to get around and see all of the casinos/hotels/sites on the strip.
If you get a chance eat at the Main Street Station Steakhouse - downtown. The food is fabulous. Two of my friends had the steak and lobster and it was the best lobster tail I have tasted in a long time. Also, the 777 Saloon/Sports Bar at the Main Street Station has great burgers/fries and such. We watched the games here.
Tony Roma's at the Fremont has Steak and Lobster from 9 - 11pm for $12.99. We ate earlier and had ribs - the usual. Also, the have prime rib from 4 - 6pm for cheap.
If you want an elegant meal downtown try Hugo's Cellar at the 4 Queens. It is awesome - but pricey.
Make sure you take a trip to the new Premium Outlet Mall - it is about a $7 taxi ride or less depending on traffic. Real close to downtown and worth the trip. Great Shopping!
Make sure you don't miss the Paris! It has great food and shopping. If you have time take the ride to the top of the Eiffel tower. And if you are on the strip at night the Bellagio water show is awesome. Stop in at the Wynn and check out the $$ spent on building that place. WOW!! They have spared no cost. His new addition is about half done - it will be called the Encore. Go figure.
You will enjoy yourself just taking it all in. Be prepared to stay up late - LOL. If you have any specific questions - just ask.
Oh Yes - Thunder from Down Under is at the Excalibur........

Oh, congrats on winning! I think I would have fainted-that never happens to me! It all sounds SO wonderful-and it sound like a lot of the good spots will be right close to us, at the 4 Queens! Thank you for all the tips! I wish we didn't have to wait until February. . .
Glad you made it home safely!

The $1 machines - they were hot hot hot. The blazing 7's at the Golden Nugget were tight - since they changed them out. It's not the same there anymore.
Also, the Wheel of Fortune $1 at Binion's is right behind the 7's machines and they were hitting too.
Good Luck - I hope you do as well or better than we did!!
