Only a hour flight away from Las Vegas we visit frequently, sometimes once a month. I'll be sharing gatwick airport car rental our trip reports, tips on making the most of your stay in Vegas, reviews of restaurants and shows we have seen, along with my thoughts related to our favorite place to get away from it all.
There were also a couple unofficial events as Shamus from Player's Life and also a member of Slot Fanatics had organized our yearly spring tour of WMS slots for Wednesday night April 2nd at 7pm and we had a ECC (Exotic Cocktail Club) meet at Wynn's Parasol Bar on Sunday the 6th at 3pm.
After months of chatting with friends online gatwick airport car rental about the April Meet I was eager to fly out to Las Vegas for the fun to start, so I flew out early on Tuesday, April 1st from San Jose on Southwest and had a uneventful flight, which to me is always the best kind to have.
Ken (CPT or CennPennTraveler) was staying at the Paris Hotel that night so since I had a comp for it and had never stayed there before my first night was at Paris. It didn't take long for me to get my luggage and the taxi driver took me straight to Paris with no tunnel gatwick airport car rental or other detours. Thanks to my text to Ken while I was in the taxi he was waiting for me and ready to point me in the correct direction for registration, room elevators, and was also kind enough to help me with my luggage.
Thanks to the Total Rewards Credit Card I was Platinum with TR so was able to use that line at registration and also was given a complimentary upgrade to a Red Room Luxury with a great view of the Bellagio Fountains.
The Red Room was very nice, though I had a issue with the safe that besides taking a number combination you also use your room key with it. Not sure if it was me or if the safe was broken but I couldn't get it to work.
My other issue was the old fashion lighting in the room was not always shining where I wanted it to but still a nice room and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Red Room to others or stay in it again myself.
After dropping my luggage off we walked gatwick airport car rental from Paris to Caesar's Palace for the Bacchanal Buffet as Ken was on east coast time and I was getting gatwick airport car rental hungry too. Thanks to the TR credit card I had a coupon to turn in at the CP Total Reward desk for two 24 hour buffet passes so Ken and I were set up for meals for the next 24 hours.
I was a bit concerned after reading Yelp reviews that we would encounter heavy lines at Bacchanal but perhaps gatwick airport car rental due to it being Tuesday or early around 5:30pm it was not crowded at all, plus they had a separate line for Platinum TR members so no wait for us. While the rest of the CET buffets are free with the 24 hour pass there was a $30 per person surcharge with the pass, but TR points gatwick airport car rental took care of that.
I had eaten previously at Bacchanal shortly after they opened and thought it was the best buffet (not counting Sunday brunches at non-buffet restaurants) now on the strip. In my opinion it still has the largest selection and best quality though a few things I liked are no longer available.
They have both cold and hot crab legs and while you can serve yourself the cold legs at the hot station they serve them to you. I asked for just a few and still got the huge pile of crab below. You should have seen the servings they gave to the people ahead of me who didn't ask for just a few!
Ken and I both text and take photos while eating as I'm sending mine to twitter and he is one of the masters of live trip reports on the Slot Fanatics message board. It's good to be with my people who don't think I'm rude to text at dinner, LOL!
The last time I ate at Bacchanal they filled the dessert crepe for me as they made the crepe this night they just handed gatwick airport car rental me the crepe and told me to fill it. Not sure if this is standard now or not as we ate there again the next evening with friends and that time they made the crepe for me complete with the fillings I requested. I'm not someone who normally likes eating crepes, pancakes or waffles but these crepes really are delicious!
Around 9:30pm it was time to meet up with one of my youtube slot channel viewers, Kagamijuice otherwise known as Kelvin. Kelvin was originally suppose to leave the next day but found out that he had to return earlier so would be driving back to California after we hung out to play slots. I was happy he was able to stay for a couple hours as he was a lot of fun to play slots with. Kelvin had his dogs with him in a pet friendly room at Planet Hollywood, but I only saw photos of them, they were both very cute.
Since I wasn't having any luck at Paris, Kelvin, Ken and I walked to Ballys. This is when I realized that Paris and Ballys connected and that I liked the slot selection better there. Unfortunately I continued to lose so no photos gatwick airport car rental or videos to show. Ken continued to have some nice wins and Kelvin was holding his own. Earlier in Kelvin's trip he had some big wins on the new Willy Wonka 3-Reel Mechanical slot at Bellagio and also the new Clue 2 so I was looking forward to playing the new Wonka.
After Kelvin left and Ken had decided to go to his room as he had been awake for around 24 hours I decided I had lost enough and headed up to my room, but on the way had a nice surprise when I ran into Margie gatwick airport car rental (Irisheyes), her husband Al (Rambler) and their daughter Colleen.
This was my first time eating gatwick airport car rental at the Paris Buffet and while it was very pretty inside, I really didn't care for it. However, I did like the fact that this is the only buffet I know of in Vegas that you can make reservations for on OpenTable!
The food selection in comparison to other buffets I have eaten at was very poor, though if you mainly gatwick airport car rental just want breakfast food like eggs, waffles, pastries and breakfast meats you will be fine here. Personally I prefer a wider selection of foods like they have for breakfast at the Wicked Spoon Buffet as I'm not a big fan of your typical breakfast type foods.
Ken enjoyed his breakfast but he also thought the variety of dishes at the Paris Buffet was lacking and since we ate at quite a few more buffets this trip, I feel I currently gatwick airport car rental have a handle gatwick airport car rental on the quality and variety of some of the main strip buffets gatwick airport car rental and out of all those we ate at I would put this one at the bottom of my list. Those of you who mainly want crepes, eggs and pastries might feel differently.
After breakfast we both checked out of our Paris rooms and Ken who had rented a car drove us to Cosmopolitan. Original we were suppose to pick up PawPaw (Cecil) at the airport but his flight was delayed gatwick airport car rental so instead I checked into Cosmo.
I was really lucky on Fireball Afterburner last February at Cosmo but while it gave me a few bonuses this trip I couldn't repeat the big wins of last trip. I still like this slot and intend to continue to play it as Ken and a few others at the Meet had some good wins on it.
The Oompa Loompa's came out to give me a bonus but after that they grabbed the money back! After Wonka I walked over to play the Lord of the Rings slot and while I was playing a nice couple came by and asked if I was Diana and said they enjoy reading this blog. Lynn and Jim, it was fun to meet you and I appreciate gatwick airport car rental you stopping to say hi!
I found myself playing True Blood even though I'm not a fan of the TV show. No huge wins but I was getting 2 bonus symbols and then picking the wilds so I had a few good hits on it. I like a game that gives you something for 2 out of the 3 symbols needed for the bonus showing up.
Kelvin the previous evening had told me about his big win on the new Wonka 3-Reel Mechanical Slot. He hit the Wonka bonus and got 50 spins and then re-triggers for a win over a grand, so of course I had to walk over to Bellagio and play it.
I sat down at the Wonka slot that Kelvin told me he thought hit bonuses more frequently then the other three in the bank and it did seem to get more bonuses. Unfortunately they were all low paying bonuses. I still enjoyed seeing how the slot plays and it's a lot like the Lord of the Rings Reel Slot. I will be playing this slot again for the fun factor and potential big win. Here's a video of the new Wonka slot that has some live play that shows you the hits I was getting and how fast the bonuses were coming.
Quickly freshening up and stopping to watch one fountain show from my balcony I went downstairs to meet Ken and we walked over to Caesars Palace. Tonight we were returning to the Bacchanal Buffet to eat with Cecil, Mike (20cardmg), Chrissy (NhMajik)and her husband Steve.
I was happy that tonight they made my dessert crepe by doing the fillings as it was cooking. Just makes it better in my opinion then trying to open up the cooked crepe and putting the fillings in afterwards.
After our fun visit at WMS Ken drove us back to Cosmopolitan. While I was playing the True Blood slot again and Ken was playing Fireball Afterburner with Mike looking gatwick airport car rental on, a cute couple sat down next to me and introduced themselves as Mark and Andrea fans of my youtube slot channel. Mark and Andrea are from the UK and I had a lot of fun chatting with them.
Earlier this evening my friend gatwick airport car rental SDguy arrived so it was time for me to meet up and play some slots with him. I left Ken still playing a few slots at Cosmo while I think Mike headed back to Aria where he was staying for this part of his trip.
For some reason I didn't take any photos of Sdguy and myself this trip, guess we were having way too much fun playing slots and drinking. Since it was Bellagio my drink was their delicious frozen Bellini's and Sdguy had his usual Malibu and Sprite. We played a few various slots before making our way to our objective playing the new Ruby Slippers 2. Our friend Dan (DProxima) was already there playing the slot on the right so Sdguy and I played the one on the left together.
We had a lot of fun playing Ruby Slippers 2 but were losing initially and down about $250.00 before we finally hit a bonus! Here's our bonus if you want to watch it. WARNING: the language is R to X rating so if that bothers you please skip viewing this video!
We continued
