Freemont Street .... Steak / Prime Rib Restaurant ???

Off to Freemont Street this evening.



Can anyone recommend a decent restaurant to try.



(Unfortunately, can%26#39;t get into our first choice %26#39;Hugo%26#39;s.)





Many thanks.

Binion%26#39;s Ranch Steakhouse or the Steakhouse at the California are both excellent choices. If you go to the Cal, make sure you ask for the $19.99 Porterhouse special NOT on the menu.





Have fun.

Binions Ranch Steakhouse FOR SURE!!!!





Enjoy!!!!!!!!




I%26#39;m guessing you mean Fremont Street. The Pullman Grille at the Main Street Station is very good. View is not as nice as if you have a window table at Binion%26#39;s, but the food is better.

Betting sites.

Can any body give me a link to a site that wil explain American betting terminology to me.I keep hearing parlay spread etc. and while we



probably have similar bets here just wanted to get the lingo straight .



Here we have a yankee,a heinz,3xdoubles and a trip,and other terms that may be foreign to you.

New Show Announced at Golden Nugget

Looks like Simply Ballroom, which is closing is being replaced with ';Defending the Caveman'; a one man comedy about the ';battle of the sexes';. It has played here in Ft. Lauderdale numerous times and is said to be funny though we have never gone. All people booking summer stays through Golden Nugget%26#39;s Private Arrangements program ( you don%26#39;t have to gamble , just sign up to earn points for your stays and earn free nights) will get 2/1 tickets to see it( I%26#39;m sure to help bolster the crowd). There are some other perks offered as well , such as $25 in F%26amp;B credits and double points for some dates. Rates are $69 Monday-Thursday all summer except a few blackout dates.

Don%26#39;t know how Defending the Caveman will do- obviously geared toward GN%26#39;s older, long married demographic and the staging expenses for a one man show with little scenery probably are minimal. Haven%26#39;t got any info about ticket prices in the mailing we got.

New Show Announced at Golden Nugget

We saw it years ago and enjoyed the thought is that men never progressed past being cavemen, sorry Gieco dude.

  • skin whiteners bleach creams
  • First visit to Vegas, few questions...

    We just booked our trip to Vegas in August and had a couple questions...





    Texas Hold%26#39;em tables, do they offer this at most casino%26#39;s?



    We%26#39;re staying at the Tropicana. If so, do they get pretty busy and have waiting lists? Do they offer smaller blind tables like $2-5, limit?



    We%26#39;re not high rollers and just want to enjoy a few hours of texas hold%26#39;em and not go overboard.





    Also, my g/f wants to do one night at a club with music/DJ etc...



    which club is best that is fairly decent price?



    Do they have expensive cover charges?



    First visit to Vegas, few questions...


    Most casions, including the Trop, have poker rooms dealing Texas HE. All have waiting lists. The Trop%26#39;s room is one of the least crowded, you are unlikely to have to wait long if at all. They have low limit tables.



    First visit to Vegas, few questions...


    You%26#39;re doing great for researching your trip here, but once you get to Vegas- you%26#39;re gonna be OFF! You%26#39;ll jump place to place, see tables you%26#39;ll like, get a ';vibe'; from places you want to go, and you will learn as you go. Nightclubs (with dancing and all) have hefty covers unless you find someone with passes (they%26#39;re all over Vegas, just keep your eyes open). Depending on what you two are into, they have it! Read some reviews and take notes,and when you get to Vegas, go with what feels right! Have fun!




    Cover Charges vary per club anywhere from free to $50 or better depending what you looking for.



    Here%26#39;s a website that has tons of info on all Vegas clubs including VIP table reservation vegas.napkinnights.com




    A good option for you is possibly Studio 54 in MGM. I love this place. It is a typical Vegas night club - great music a little extra here and there. Certain nights ladies are free but cover is $10/ ladies $20 men. It is always a great time and we always hit this place up everytime. We are in our late 20%26#39;s early 30%26#39;s




    As mentioned, not all casinos have poker rooms. Unfortunately, poker is very popular right now and no matter where you go, there will probably be a wait, unless you perhaps go early in the morning.




    www.allvegaspoker.com has more information than you need on tables, games and tournaments being offered in the Las Vegas poker rooms.




    Excalibur has a nice poker room and last time I was there they had 1-3 limit texas hold%26#39;em there. I loved that table. A lot of new people that don%26#39;t know every much or how to play at the table, made a lot of money :) They also had a $100 buy in no-limit table there. Good Luck!




    Your best resource is a company called 202 Concierge. They specialize in all things ';Sin City';, including night life. Toby was an afficianado on club culture, and got us into 3 clubs, with no long line, or paying 40.00 per person at the door. On line services are pricey, and most don%26#39;t deliver. These guys got us in , and guided us in smoothly. Their # is (702) 604-4596, or email them at spike@202concierge.com . Have a great time!!




    At the trop try to upgrade to a tower if you have not already done so.

    Ocean's 13 premiere @ the Palms

    Planned a trip with the BF for June 6-11. I wanted to stay at the Palms- so we%26#39;re taking advantage of their midweek rates of $99 for our first 2 nights. I was getting a bit worried that we%26#39;d tire of the Palms after a day- that is, until i read this:





    %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;a special benefit screening of Ocean鈥檚 Thirteen will open this year鈥檚 CineVegas Film Festival on June 6 at the Brenden Theatres in the Palms Casino\Hotel. During the opening night festivities鈥攄ubbed Lights, Camera, Take Action鈥擩erry Weintraub will also be honored with the CineVegas Vanguard Producer Award. Benefiting the aid group the International Rescue Committee for Not On Our Watch, the star-studded event will be attended by Ocean鈥檚 Thirteen cast members, including George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Ellen Barkin and Andy Garcia; producer Jerry Weintraub; and other celebrity guests.%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;





    woweee... how excited am I? The place should be buzzing!



    Ocean's 13 premiere @ the Palms


    I hate you.



    Ocean's 13 premiere @ the Palms

    aww... show some love! I%26#39;m a Vegas Virgin- we%26#39;ll chalk it up to ';beginner%26#39;s luck';

    You better have a camera attached to you - cause I want to see pictures!




    Oh, I hate you too!!




    You lucky lucky lady. Make sure you write a TR when you get back to let us know who you saw.





    Hope you have a fab trip :-)




    Lucky. The Palms do have some good mid-week rates.




    ......hopefully......Oceans 13 will be the ';lucky 13'; because Oceans 12 was REALLY BAD!




    Well that%26#39;s excitting!!! I too will be in town then. Oh my God Brad Pitt and George Clooney in person? I think that%26#39;s great! Any idea what time they%26#39;d be arriving to you know go to the Palms and have a look see, maybe take a few pics!!!




    Aw, thats the day I leave! Guess I will have to stalk the Palms the night before and see if there is any action :)


  • makeup
  • Yet more nightclub questions :)

    Need some info on bottle service....do I have to call to find out prices or are the listed online somewhere?



    Interested in:



    Jet- Monday



    Studio 54- Tuesday



    Body English- Wednesday



    Anyone have any info about bottle service at the above clubs???





    THANKS :)



    Yet more nightclub questions :)


    I think 54 is around $500 for two bottles and a table, but I%26#39;m not sure about the other two.



    Yet more nightclub questions :)


    I would call. Always better to get it from the club. You can also ask about availability.




    The typical cost for bottle service is $300-500 for the table plus the cost of the bottle(s). They usually allow 3-4 people per bottle.

    Flamingo Royal Suite

    Hey All,





    A Flamingo Royal Suite comes with our wedding package. Does anyone have a review or any pictures of this room? Our wedding coordinator is not much help. TIA!



    Flamingo Royal Suite


    Bump...





    Flamingo Royal Suite


    My in-laws had a wedding package at the Flamingo, but they weren%26#39;t given a suite, just a regular room. Sorry I%26#39;m not much help!




    Yeah, I have never heard of the Royal Suite. Is your wedding a BIG event with lots of people booking rooms and the ceremony held right at Flamingo? If so, maybe they really do have a large, special suite they are comping you for your huge expense. If not, I am wondering if it is just a room.




    Last year we looked in to getting married at the Flamingo (we went with the Venetian), they used to have the 360 view (which I didn%26#39;t see the link on their sute). From what I remember it was a 1 bed room suite with a seperate sitting area with a big screen TV, bar area.... I remember it had blue chairs or sofa, but it was like the size of 1 bed room apartment...... hope that helps... call them and see if they have a link or they can mail you a brochoure.




    I have never seen it, but somewhere in my earlier reading, I think I came across the fact that ther are only a handful ( maybe 2)on each floor , so they must be something above the norm. I%26#39;m also not sure but think they may be a fairly new offering there- and I think it depends which wedding package you book ( they have about 8 different levels) whether it%26#39;s included in your stay. Still, your coordinator should be more helpful in answering your questions- hold her feet to the fire and let her know we are all waiting to hear that you have been e-mailed a picture. She%26#39;s not doing her job...




    Did a quick Google and read this:





    ';Floors 17-26 have a total of 54 renovated rooms per floor - 48 standard rooms, 4 mini suites and 2 Royal Suites. Floors 27 and 28 hold a total of 48 rooms per floor- 40 standard rooms, 4 mini suites, 2 Royal Suites and 2 Classic suites.';







    There was also a website w/ pix from someone%26#39;s wedding party in a Royal Suite but they really didn%26#39;t show the room very well. It did look like it was pretty large though.
