An oldie newbie will visit LV

Hi all,

I%26#39;m new to this forum but been to LV many times. Maybe I%26#39;ll retire there.

My next visit is coming up next week and if I have some time I%26#39;ll share some stories (maybe with a few reminisces) in TRs later.

Paris is comping me from 12/3 - 12/7 but I%26#39;m mainly a Caesars fan.

I intend to sample Mon Ami Gabi (having walked by too many times) and Battistas (never tire of the place). I%26#39;ll try some rest.com coupons at PH and not least hit the poker and blackjack tables .. maybe a show if there is something good playing (I am open to suggestions).

I hope to do Nero%26#39;s if I get enough Harrah%26#39;s points to cover most of it as I am a serious steak eater.

If anyone who knows the place is in town let me know.

Dennis

Went to Battistas on my first trip to LV 30 years ago while on my honeymoon and remember it well. Think dinner with unlimited wine was around $10 in those days. Glad to know it is still there......wife is not, thank goodness.

Welcome to the forum Dr.Dennis! Hope to read your trip report! Have fun and good luck.

Hi Dr Dennis, welcome to the LV Forum.

I%26#39;m hoping to visit Neros when I am back in Vegas next year, so please when you write your TR include your food!!

Hope you have a lovely time :-)

You mean people go to Las Vegas without ever having been on this forum? They know what to wear? They know what the weather will be like? They know the cost of a taxi to their hotel and whether to take the tunnel or not? They know which casino has the best buffet, the hottest machines and the best CW%26#39;s? They know if the pools are open in December and that they should wear comfy shoes? They still have fun? Gosh, what will I hear next. j/k

We had been going to Vegas for a few years when I found this forum (didn%26#39;t even have a computer when I first started going). It has made a big difference in the way I approach my LV vacation and has given me a way to relive my fun through sharing with my forum friends. I also get to live vicariously through their experiences in my favorite city.

Welcome, Dr. Dennis! I hope you get as much pleasure out of this forum as I do.

Thanks for your replies y%26#39;all.

While I%26#39;m waiting for next Monday to jump on the plane, I%26#39;ll share my first time in LV.

It%26#39;s 1972 and I%26#39;ve graduated from the U of M (that%26#39;s Michigan for those of you from elsewhere).

My first wife and I drove across the US toward my new job in LA and stopped on the 4th of July staying at a Holiday Inn where Harrahs is now on the strip.

It was hotter than heck and we had no money, so we just were glad to have a room.

My gambling consisted of playing penny slots which gobbled my $5.00 budget in a matter of less than an hour. I had no idea what I was doing and had to look twice to find the slot to put the money in. You could only pull the levers back then .. no buttons to push like now.

We got there during the day and I don%26#39;t remember many lights like there are now (what a codger I must be :)

This was a brief pass through and it didn%26#39;t really make much of an impression.

Boy oh boy ... that changed in later years.

Stay tuned, Dennis

Welcome to the board, I cannot wait to hear more about your travels. Its always fun to hear about old trips and old Vegas.
