Disney ain't got nothing on Vegas!

[Budzooka]

I have been going to Vegas several times a year for about the past 10 years. There’s no better place for gambling, entertainment, and good food than on the Las Vegas Strip.

It has definitely increased in price since Covid and long gone are the days of a cheap buffet to draw you into the casino.

But one thing they do really well is provide perks for return visitors. I love to gamble but I’m not a big player by any means. I hate to lose more than I like to win, so I play very low limits and spend time at the tables. This strategy has earned me diamond status at Caesars every year, and those perks include free rooms without resort fees, along with some free meals and drinks. And a separate line for check in, the casino cage, and many restaurants.

I am under no illusions that I am paying for much of my “free” perks, but there is no way I would keep going back without these perks.

TLDR - Vegas is expensive but you can offset much of the cost if you play enough to earn status. I wish Disney had something similar to reward their most loyal patrons.

Not to mention the fact that Las Vegas is a rated R city. Most attractions are either a form of gambling or blatantly adult material

All right, you convinced me. Vegas here I come!

Believe it or not, even after that, when I saw last winter that his residency was ending, I asked dh if he'd be into going back for a quickie,

Hey now, this is a family-friendly website. What do you think this is, Cosmo?

I went to Vegas about 10 years ago and went to a Celine Dion concert while I was there. Even a Coke there was over $10 and they had a place for a tip on the receipt I had to sign.

I wonder when or if they will ever prohibit guest from bringing in thier own floats. If enough people do what we did, they may very well.

When we were there, we saw a huge variety of float devices, (noodles, etc) so apparently I was the only one who assumed a place with a lazy river provides tubes. This was in 2018 so who knows by now.
At least at Caesars Palace in March and last October, you had a real person for check in but the first time they gave us a cheaper room than what we booked. I specifically booked a room in the Colosseum tower so it would be close to the concert venue. They had also recently been remodeled. The clerk put us in the Julius tower or Augustus, I forget now. I told him that wasn't what we booked. He had to re-do our keys and acted like it was a big inconvenience. We had a 6am flight home the morning after the concert so I really didn't want to have to wander around such a huge resort when we really needed to go right to sleep. It's so huge, you really can get lost there.
Anyway, we don't gamble so I can't see us returning unless it's another amazing concert opportunity. I think dh brought $50 from his slush fund to gamble and he really wasn't into it.
