My co-worker is a fountain of misinformation!! 5/14 the day has come page 130

[rascalmom]

there was a whole lot of stuttering. I'll keep you posted on all the supposed plans when they don't develop.

Why does this have a familiar ring to it?

From the Cheapo Vegas site that was posted above:

"Clientele: Middle-aged to elderly. It's a low-roller casino and it draws a low-roller clientele. Expect to see lots of polyester. We find the casino pretty creepy, but if you dig Bruce Lee movies, you might fit right in."

She should fit right in there. She seems like she'd be a low-roller in polyester.

Well, you could always call ahead and order room service for her, have them send up some Peeps!!

hehehehe

Sounds like MI to me too

Because she went on a supposed Vegas trip last year and couldn't give any details.

Hope you don't mind me jumping in here - often chuckle as i read the co-worker's newest adventure or comment -but we just returned from Vegas this past Saturday, and after getting off the monorail behind the Imperial Palace, and walking through it to see the other casinos, I think your friend would love it there!!! We agreed that it lacked a certain atmosphere, but it might be just right for her!
Thanks for letting me share. Caroline

You should request an Imperial Palace souvie, see how she responds to that one! Or better, yet, pictures with her in them!

How about "I have a friend who collects shot glasses from all the casinos in Las vegas - he doesn't have one from the Imperial Palace yet so it would be a HUGE favor if you could buy one for me - I know they sell them in the gift shop, I'd be happy to pay you back for it.

Imperial Palace is a very classy place. Just ask Miss Info next month, she'll tell ya!

Grumpy Pirate always has wonderful ideas! I vote that you do this!

 

[Piecey]

I was going to title today "Can I get banned from work?" but don't want to push my luck

Anyway, it's time once again for the supposed trip to Vegas. This year Miss Info and hubby are staying at the Imperial Palace. May 12-17. So far no plans for shows, dining, etc. Reservations were just made last Thursday. I'm surprised she found any room at all considering it's convention time in Vegas and rooms are hard to find and expensive!! when I mentioned that fact to her, there was a whole lot of stuttering. I'll keep you posted on all the supposed plans when they don't develop.

OH NO! I'll be in Vegas May 12-17th (though technically only until 12:01AM on the 17th )

We're staying at Planet Hollywood.. but now I'll be on the lookout.

Ask her if she wants to witness my wedding on the 15th!

 

[Dolce27]

I agree that you should try to get her promise to bring you a shot glass... that's not an unusual request.

hehehehe

This is the best idea ever!!!!

 

[Evil Genius]

You guys are assuming Imperial Palace has room service. It's more on par to the Motel 6

Well in that case, you COULD Fedex some to the room!!

hehehehe

HAHA!!
I was thinking the same thing!

Cheapo Vegas said that they have room service that takes forever and is terrible. That sounds like it fits with this hotel.

 

[SandiH]

Well, as of right now, they do have rooms available at a wonderful price of 69.95 a night. Personally, I'd tell her I collect shot glasses, give her 10 bucks and have her bring me back one. That way you'll know for sure! Or, you could send her on a picture scavenger hunt. My sister's co-workers did that when she went on a trip to CA - you know, holding a box of Rice a Roni on a San Fran trolley, etc. Could be fun!!!

After ages of reading about the adventures of EG in her daily trials with Miss Information, and never having anything to say, I finally have something to add to the conversation.

I have actually stayed at the Imperial Palace (for a seminar, I had no say in the matter) and it was a horror show. First, as a migraineur, I'm kinda sensitive to noise and lights. Well, to get out onto the strip, you had to pass through the most overwhelmingly vulgar casino I've ever seen in my life. (Not that I've seen very many.) Everything whirred and flashed, and blinked, and made clanging noises. It was a nightmare.

To top things off, while I was there, they were having a slots tournament. Slots tournament? I didn't know there could be a strategy to that, I thought it was pure luck. So there were all these really sad looking old folks walking around with slot machine debit cards lashed to their wrists.

And the "Dealertainers"? Are people dressed up and imitating dead movie stars and the like. That was the skeeviest of all. Nothing like walking to the elevators through whirling lights and ringing bells and seeing Elvis in a white jumpsuit dealing blackjack.

And don't even get me started on the restaurants...

Vegas? No thanks, I'll stick to Disney.

If Miss Info is really going, and really staying at the Imperial Palace, I kinda pity her.

I love Vegas, but I'd never stay in a low rent place like the Imperial Palace. Shame on the planner from your seminar-they should have chosen a much nicer hotel.
We lucked out last week. Got an upgrade to the top floor, beautifully renovated executive rooms at the Flamingo. Really, really nice view of the Bellagio fountains.
