I just booked a trip to Vegas - Got Recommendations?

#1

I had to use some vouchers at Southwest before losing them and will be
in Vegas Feb 12-15. I booked a cheap rate at The Orleans. I plan on
playing $1 9/6 JoB. Now where did I put that Bob Dancer training disc?

I plan on playing at the Orleans, Palms, the Hilton and if the deal (
http://www.arizonacharliesdecatur.com/promos/model-dialog/page.asp?doc=AZC-Acquisition_Promo.jpg
) still exists I'll play a session at one of the Arizona Charlies.
This deal applies to video poker right?

For fun, I want to see Penn and Teller and visit the pinball hall of
fame. I might go to Spamalot or Amazing Jonathon or Carrot Top. If
I'm at the Hilton, I'll see the Star Trek Experience. Can I find
cheap tickets for these activities?

I'll sleep when I get home. I'm thumbing through my copy of Jean
Scott's Frugal Gambler for deal ideas.

Are there any other casinos I should consider for Video Poker?

I am interested in any good promotions (slot club, cash back...)
offered while I'm there - Feb 12-15.

Things have turned? It had been pretty thin there the last 2 years or so.

Just went to the Pinball Hall of Fame the other day. Cool place,
change machines as soon as you walk in so you don't have to worry about
bringing around a bunch of quarters. If you're not renting a car it'll
be about $15-$20 for a cab depending on where you start. There's a bus
that you can take that goes from the MGM intersection at the Strip to
the intersection with the PHoF, but I didn't want to waste time waiting
for the bus on my vacation, so we just went with the cab. (Ended up
getting stuck in accident traffic from a pedestrian who was hit by a
car, and another accident at the same time with an overturned car,
which turned a $15 cab ride into a $28 cab ride... "heh")

If you need a cab for the ride back, go to the bar next door (Putters)
and they'll call one for you. I won $20 playing video poker while
waiting for the cab there... worked out well to offset the higher cab
fare! It does take about 30 minutes for the cab to actually show up,
so it might even be quicker to take the bus back.

You my want to consider Ellis Island for 9/6 JoB and home brewed beer
that is mighty good and complimentary while playing. The other
consideration would be The Fremont which has full pay Pick'em.

I was at Ellis Island in December. I could not find ANY 9/6 JoB at any
denomination.

You didn't look hard enough. They are in at least three or four different
banks that I know of, available in .25, .50, 1$, 2$, and 5$ denomination.

THANKS to all of you for your help. I've got a few websites
bookmarked to check for casino specials just before I fly out. I've
got too much planned and am excited about a fun few days.
