Back from another trip to Las Vegas. I arrived Monday October 5, and departed on the afternoon of Saturday October 10. I stayed again at the Palazzo for all five nights. Nice to keep getting the comped rooms there!

The Good. The weather was fantastic, sunny and warm everyday. Very different from the cold and rainy days in Pittsburgh. Room was very nice as always. Also had my room comped to a room with a view. Right on the corner by TI and the Wynn. Had a perfect view of the Sirens of TI pirate battle show. The food at the Grand Lux restaurant at the Palazzo was very good. Try the Zen Noodle soup when you are there. Excellent!! Best slot this trip was the Alfruddy Hitchcock slots at the Bellagio. Hit for $500.00 on first spin in the bonus round. The MGM Dollar Lion slots payed out a little this time.

The Bad. The slots and video poker were not paying out much this visit. Nothing at all on video poker. Tried the new Jaws and Star Wars slots. Just ate all my money! Even my old favorites like Cleopatra and White Orchid were nothing but losers. Starting to tire of the Bellagio buffet. The desserts there and not very good. Starting to think the PH buffet is better, best chocolate pie, mmmm!!!

The beautiful. Carmen Electra!!!! Carmen was performing with the lovely ladies of the Crazy Horse Paris show at the MGM. Carmen is beautiful!!! My seat was about ten feet from the stage, very nice view!! The show was very good. Lovely ladies, yes topless, singing, dancing, music and the Scott Brothers vaudeville act. I do recommend the show!!

Another good Vegas vacation. Always alert to go back!!!

Back from my most recent vacation in Las Vegas, September 20--27. I stayed three nights at the Flamingo and four nights at the Palazzo. Flight was no problem. I used the airport shuttle bus to the Flamingo. I think a good discount at $6.00 a ticket. Check in was fine. Had a room available for me at 11am. The room at the Flamingo was the basic deluxe room. Strip view right across from Caesars Palace. Good enough for sleeping and storing my luggage.

I don't eat my meals at the Flamingo. Usually go to Bellagio, Mirage, Planet Hollywood or Paris to dine. The gambling at the Flamingo was ok. Not too much in the loss column and did get some good play on the slots. Casino was crowded every night. Nice to stroll and relax in the Flamingo gardens and view the pink flamingos!

Tuesday took the taxi down to the Palazzo. My third visit too the Palazzo this year. They also had a room available at check in. I was checked in and unpacked again by 11am. Up on the 21st floor and the end of the hall. But the walk was not too bad. Had a good view of the Mirage volcano, unfortunatly it is still being renovated.

Went to the Bellagio Tuesday for some slot play. Usually have some good luck there. Did hit on the Bonus Frenzy slot for $1,000.00 hit. That was a big help in making up for some losses! I like the new dollar Deal or No Deal slots. Played at Bellagio, Planet Hollywood, Mirage and Venetian. A little luck, nothing great.

Thursday night playing at the Palazzo i hit my largest jackpot so far. I was playing a dollar triple double bonus video poker machine. Put in $100.00, on fourth hand I was dealt three aces! Kept them and hoped for the fourth!! I got it!! And a four for the kicker card!!! A nice payout of $4000.00!!! Made my night and trip!!!


Bellagio, Venetian and Palazzo were good to me on this trip!!! Not much good from Caesars, not done well there lately. So this was a very fun trip, always better when you go home with extra money!!!! I highly reccomend you visit the Palazzo. Great place to stay and the casino has a nice layout. Time to start thinking about that next trip!!!
