Vegas Thoughts

You know what I hate? I hate people who bang their doors into your car door and then deny they did it. It happened to me today. Actually had to call the police as I was feeling a tad threatened. Being a 300 lb. man, it takes a bit to threaten me... Result---Ding not too bad...and I was called a racist. Man, I am so not that it is actually funny. It takes all kinds of people..

OK, on to Vegas news... The Tropicana finally got their 1st quarter promotions out. There are some free dates (mostly Weds) and they are for the dreaded Garden Rooms. I've got a convention rate of $69 for tower rooms this next trip. I can save $6/night and stay in a Garden Room. Won't happen...

Even if you aren't staying at the Tropicana they are coupons for free tix to Folies or Rick Thomas and two free admissions to the Casino Hall Of Fame which in all honesty is easy to come by on your own...

We are working on a Vegas Wedding Page right now. If you have some suggestions email me at vegaskyle@vegaskyle.com

This is absolutely crazy!

I just updated the website (I mean literally) and I got an email from Tradesports.com of an incredible wacky offer. You need to take advantage of this offer before they wake up and realize how stupid they are. Not really, but listen. Tradesports has launched a free bet program especially for Super Bowl XXXVIII. You simply have to wager/bet on the outcome of the SuperBowl XXXVIII game on February 1st and if you lose TradeSports will refund their bet up to $100. If you win, you get to keep the cash. Is this nuts? You bet it is. No risk though!

Whether you are a football expert or just want some bragging rights, make sure you enter the Super Picks Contest XXXVIII at Sportsbetting Put your football knowledge (or luck) to the test and you could win $100,000, or a Yamaha Home Theatre System, or one of 4- $100 Wagering Accounts!

What a great deal--- Don't forget Sportsbetting for your Super Bowl Pick as well.

America West Vacations has come through with some fantastic Vegas trips for February and March. They start at just $77/pp. You definitely read that right. How do they do it? I don't ask why, I just partake...

I saw a listing on Travelzoo for some sub $100 rates with a decent package of extras at Paris. They go quick so if you are thinking about using them don't wait.

I created a new restaurant page today. Largely, it just has a list of restaurants that have discount gift certificates available. But, I'll add more as I can.

Hotwire has me excited again about some cheap airfares. I don't usually get super excited about the model they (or Priceline) use for airfares as I like more control. Hotels and cars are absolutely not an issue for me through them. January is typically a great time to book your Vegas travel. Airfares for a future trip I am taking are running just under $60 cheaper than any other price I am finding. Check them out. In fact, I can get a package deal with rooms for just about the cost of regular airfare. Our main page has a banner you can click to get great rates

We are running a contest on our Forum We will be drawing a winner for this contest in just 10 days. Here is the 411 (I feel so gangster) The contest is open to anyone who registers and makes a "meaningful" post in the next 10 days. We will choose one person to win a copy of...The Unofficial Guide To Las Vegas by Bob Sehlinger. If you want to buy a copy of his fabulous book then please go to our Vegas Book page

The Golden Nugget is being taken over within the next 30 days as you may or may not know.

They also have some great deals on rooms the next two months. They can be as low as $49/night. You also get 2 for 1 buffets, $84 in dining discounts, and another $250 in dining, entertainment, and hotel discounts.

I have to tell you how disappointed that "Las Vegas" wasn't on on Monday night. 2 hours of Fear Factor was way too much...

I added some links to some wonderful artwork on my website this AM. I own the old time Vegas one with the Golden Nugget displayed prominently. It is fabulous.

Also, the Tropicana sent me an email telling me that my casino host account had been dropped as they only keep the most active in the system (I was there in June) and to call the regular number for reservations...

A few days ago, I discovered a website called WeDoItAllVegas. They have a great online shop of products and lots of items to discover. My discovery was their free newsletter. There is a neat story in the first issue I received about Benny Siegel and his Flamingo. If you hurry, you can catch the same issue.

We had some friends from out of town in this weekend that drove nearly 5 hours just to have dinner with us. Is that friendship or what? Not Vegas related, but I had to mention that...

Oh, have you checked out the Vegas Time Casino on our main page? I love this place. Play Wild Genies. The bonuses are great both in Wild Genies and on the deposits
