Is this a victory of brains over prawn?

Oh, just go to the freakin Customer Service Desk and get their gaming card and get it for 99 cents. Besides which if I want my bay shrimp fix that badly there are about 5 other casinos that have the same price. Golden Gate gets all the press cuz they have been doing it forever.

/TMLO why don't you go listen to some Final Countdown. That's a horrible pun

Golden Gate, where every female asian dealer kicks my ass at the tables, no thanks, I'd sooner pay full price for a shrimp cocktail elsewhere.

Vegas isn't all that cheap anymore, which is dumb, considering that every Indian Tribe that can is opening Casinos with better odds that are usually much closer to home. Vegas was way better when the Mafia owned it, corporate Vegas sucks.

my fiance is pissed. were heading there in august for DEFCON and all she could talk about was the $.99 shrimp cocktail. a sad day indeed. next thing you know binions will raise the price of the crappy $1 margarita to something more outrageous for what its worth.

I ate some shrimp for dinner tonight with my NY Strip steak.

I dislike Las Vegas...WAY too crowded.
I'd MUCH rather go to Ely and stay at the Hotel Nevada...Seems like it got stuck in the 60's

I think you may be marrying beneath you.

We ran into one in Melbourne Australia. She was a machine. We called her Hanna the Hand.

Well, shoot.

Going to Vegas for my friend's 21st in September. Anyone have any info on the good cheap stuff around town?

"Oh Mikey you don't want all that "Pirates Of The Caribbean" horseshiat, or the "Rock and Roll Grunge Tip". Guys like you and me gotta kick it here, old school."

"Oh this is definitely 'old school'. This place is dead."

sarahbot say no more, amusing AND informative;

I ate one of the 99 cent shrimp cocktails, so I'm really getting a sick out of these replies.

Cheap food in Vegas has still got to be better than cheap food at a casino in Wendover NV. I ended up in a casino that looked like something out of a Tarantino movie. The waitress had a beehive. It was 1988. The food was worse than both.

I have heard from people who live in Vegas to check out Hugo's at the 4 queens if you want old school Vegas.

Stick with the video poker at virtually every bar stool in Vegas. So long as you drop some cash in and aren't a total asshole to your bartender, the drinks will come free and frequently. Plus, progressive video poker offers the best odds in the house.

Just remember to tip.

Mateorocks: progressive video poker offers the best odds in the house.

uhm, no.

Peaceboy: NICE. First thing I thought of too. Great movie

YES! Threads don't contain nearly enough Three Six.

the cheapest food in vegas is upstairs food court by the M&M"s store.

any buffet your going to drop $15 or more on.

Have fun ride the deuce!
avoid the street hawkers and timeshre assholes.

we had a lot of fun at the excalibur, cheap / free drinks and loose slots. video poker.

Casinos are like the lottery...they are for people who suck at math.

The only way to win for sure is not to play.
When I go to a casino I only spend what I am willing to drop and nothing else. The odds are against you.

If you lose a lot of cash to a casino I hope that was disposable income otherwise you are an idiot.

Steak and eggs for breakfast in Vegas FTW, also the champagne breakfast on Sundays is enormously immense.

/And FTW

Do you honestly think most people go into a casino thinking they're sure to win? I think all but a few sad, desperate souls know they're probably gonna lose. They dont care. It's all about that small chance.

Mom! Go make my some scrimps!

Golden Gate has the best farking breakfast for the buck in Vegas.

The blogger is wrong, there's no lettuce in the shrimp cocktail, I was there last month.

I also stayed there. It's the cheapest hotel on Fremont Street, but you get what you pay for. Crappy, crowded room, but I spent most of the trip taking the Deuce or cabs to the Strip anyway.

Well, if you know basic strategy, you can cut the house edge on blackjack down to less than 1%, or you can play pai gow poker, a game where you can play all day and lose money fairly slowly.

I was there last week.... end of the old downtown, Freemont street, there is a hotel... 8 dollar buffet (its good food) and of course Golden Nugget takes your Blackjack money but it's a great atmosphere!

/went for recognition award from work
//stayed at Ceasers
//drank a lot

I'll take the $1.25 pints at Ellis Island thanks.

Binions Margarita + Shrimp Cocktail = WIN.

The goal of that cheapo drink is to really give you that slight happy buzz-- just enough to enjoy walking around the area and try out their slot machines.

I tried ordering the 99 cent drinks at those other slot machine joints, but they gave me some silly excuse about running out of the small cups...an attempt for me to plunk down 8 bux for their huge version. I got out of there quick.

Do yourselves a favor and buy the American Casino Guide. The coupon deals will pay for itself and much more.

Oh...yes...and if you want decent eats, go to Magnolia's above Hugo's. Join the casino club and you will get special discounts.

Mr Theologian loved the Carson St Cafe in the Nugget, but it's a bit pricey. BUT the portions were friggin' HUGE!

tin_man: Polartank13: TMLO why don't you go listen to some Final Countdown. That's a horrible pun

You need to get laid even more badly than I do, which is saying something.

Well yeah, I'm married... I thought it was a horrible pun and gave props for it.

thalidomide new and improved: mmmmm....slimy, milky 55 degree shrimp. In a hazy, old, filmy daisy cup. in an acrid corner of an old dank gambling hall. That smells like old people's underwear, urine, and decomposing prime rib. in THE DESERT.

While you're at it, go ahead and replace the lettuce with a raw chicken leg. and to hell with that cocktail sauce, can't anyone come up with a jar of beige mayonnaise from 2004?

Where do *I* sign UP?

Wow so you have never been there?

Feltonl: Have fun ride the deuce!

Assuming you can get on any of the damn buses. Every time I've been to Vegas, the deuce is so crammed the driver just flies on by and doesn't even bother to give you the finger..

The problem with winning at blackjack is if you win at blackjack, you get banned.
