Las Vegas Appreciation Thread

This is sorely needed. Stories that you can't tell your family/friends/significant others, tips for newbies, etc. can now all neatly be packaged here :D

Ah shit yeah!!! Love when they ask me if I want the extra shot for a buck! I'm like fuck yeah homie!

Those right there are the only drinks I'll buy and Vegas is the only place I'll drink more than beer anymore. You have no idea how wired you just made me by this thread and this picture. I literaly will be dry humping my chair later thinking about going there in April! :lol: :thumbup:

That could be anywhere. Every casino has multiple stands like that.

it's overcrowded because it went from a gambling town to a place for people who like pretty lights and restaurants :lol:

it's fun trapping a pusher at poker. :lol:

it's also nice catching a Q on the river to save your stack. :lol:


i don't have any good stories, both my trips were for business, so I had to be good...co workers...not so much. :lol:

i made money both times there...so that's worth something

I've been to Vegas 5 times, but every time was before I was 18 with my family. So that was fun.

Vegas is a place I squirm in my seat all of the way to......and lay like a fucking zombie in my seat all of the way back from. (I am positive this is not unusual!)

I am not about to type out all of the horrid/awesome things I have been involved with there. I will say that after dating for 10 years and being married for 4 years that my wife and I have been to Vegas about 60 times in that time span. 9 by her (w/o me), 50 by me (w/o her) and 1 time together.
It only took 1 visit there together to find out we are not Vegas-Compatible.
Me = Gambling, Drinking, Drugging (past) acting like a total animal and loving every second of it. Sleeping is frowned upon.
Wife = walking all of the different casinos during the day to see new things, buy some outrageously priced clothes/shoes, etc, lay by the pool...get dolled up like a, well, I dont want to call my wife that...but all dolled up like the ladies of Vegas dress....go out to a club and get bottle service.

I love Vegas and love going there....but I love leaving there every time as well!

My first notable story of Vegas was being a way easy target for this dude to rip me off when lookign to score some pot at age 17. In retrospect it's pretty funny, but at the time I was mad as hell. :lol:
7/2/06 - Denver, CO
6/12/08 - Tampa, FL
8/23/09 - Chicago, IL
9/28/09 - Salt Lake City, UT (11 years too long!!!)
9/03/11 - East Troy, WI - PJ20 - Night 1
9/04/11 - East Troy, WI - PJ20 - Night 2

My fiance and I are the same exact way. We went to Vegas together a couple years ago and we got into a few arguments. I'm more of a gambling/drinking all day type and she wants to walk around and shop and all of that other shit. The only way we will go together again is if there are some other couples involved so the girls can go do whatever they want and the guys can sit at a blackjack table or the sportsbook all day.

Going to Vegas for my bachelor party labor day weekend. I'm sure I will have some stories to share after that one.
