From: SteveT on 8 Jul 2010 03:33 Las Vegas Semi-Solo Trip Itinerary July 2010 T-7 days and counting: This will be my first trip to Vegas this year (I usually go twice a year). This one will be semi-solo. I'll be leaving next Thursday morning from Manchester, NH via Southwest for five-days. Renting a car using Dollar Express. Saved $81 ($137 versus $218) by booking separate reservations of two days and then three days rather than one five day reservation (go figure). After getting the rental car, I'll probably do lunch at Tuscany/Marilyn's Cafe (at which I have 50% off coupons from the LVA MRB) and eventually check-in to the LV Hilton for 4 nights for $169 total on a special USPS mailer offer (that includes a Friday and a Saturday night). The 5th night (a Monday night) will also be at the Hilton (via Hotels.com for $45). I booked through Hotels.com for the 5th night since I already have nine previous rental nights through Hotels.com and this will give me my 10th Hotels.com night. This 10th night will give me a free night anywhere hotels.com rents rooms up to the average nightly cost of my 10 previous nightly stays. The average cost will be high as seven of the previous rental nights were at relatively high rates in Aruba. Entertainment For entertainment, I have only Sunday night locked in yet. But Thursday might take in a late afternoon show of Big Elvis at Bill's and do a $10 MP while there and then walk over to the Westin C. and do a $25 MP from ACG and possibly hit the House of Blues acoustic night show later. Friday night I will be joined by my brother and his friend and we might catch YBR at GVR at 11:00 PM. Saturday night might see The Fab at the Cannery and later head to the Palms Casino. Sunday night I have two free tickets ($8.00 service fee) thanks to GoldStar (and Walt's of AVLV heads up ) to see Zen Magic at the PH shopping mall theatre. On Monday night might see Rick Thomas at the Sahara using a 50% off MRB coupon or tix4tonite. At some point I will probably also attempt to take a gander at City Center, though it just doesn't look like a fun place. Gambling As usual, I have matchplays and freeplays (MPs and FPs) from ACG, LVA MRB, and a LVRJ Coast insert (though this year the MRB is sparse on MPs). My most extensive coupon run will be near/on strip consisting of Orleans, Gold Coast, Palms, Circus Circus (Wincard), Sahara, Riviera, Tuscany, Terribles, Hard Rock, Ellis Island, Westin C, and Bill's and maybe include Wincard deals at Excalibur and Mandalay Bay. I'll also do a downtown MP/FP coupon run including Vegas Club, Plaza, 4Queens, Golden Gate, and ElCo. Depending upon how much time I spend with my brother and his friend doing other stuff, I may also do a Boulder Highway coupon run including E. Cannery, Sam's, and The Longhorn. Besides coupon runs, I plan to spend some time playing $0.25 x 10 coin FP Deuces Wild (FPDW) VP at the Rainbow Club Casino in Henderson and $0.25 FPDW and $0.50 to $1.00 Loose Deuces Wild VP at GVR, the Palms, and the LV Hilton. Food This year, unfortunately, none of the LVA MRB Station Casino Buffet coupons are good for 50% off for one, so will probably use ACG/LVA MRB 50% off buffet coupons at the Silverton, Rampart, and/or Orleans by myself. I'll also likely use 50% off restaurant coupons at Du-Pars at the Golden Gate, Marilyn's at Tuscany, and the 24/7 Caf� at the Palms. Also may grab a sandwich at Capriotti's at GVR, some fries at San Gennaro at The Venetian Casino Food Court; and stop by the Peppermill. But nothing's in stone. Will send a trip report upon return.

DineLV.com has a great deal on Rick Thomas, a pair of tix for $19.00. https://www.dinelv.com/shows.html According to their site, the offers that begin with "DineLV Dollars" are emailed to you and then you print them out. Other offers are sent out thru old-fashioned US mail within 24 hours. They also have other show and dining deals that might interest you. --- Walt

Oh My,, Rick Thomas. What a nice guy. I've been seeing his show when it was at the Trop, and his tigers were only a 'bundle of fur' for many many years. The last time I saw his show (And I might add that I have never paid for it!!) the tigers were around 1 foot plus taller than Rick, and Rick is over 6 foot!!! Reminds me, I must drop him an email to see how things are going. Dr Bob.
