Has anyone been to Vegas?

[Phinnaeus Gage]

i havent been to vegas sine the star trek bar closed

When I lived there, I went outta my way about every two weeks to simply walk around the Hilton and experience the experience.

Places to go, best places to stay on the strip, cheaply?

"Lucky 38" is the best.

[Phinnaeus Gage]

Pay a week at Budget Suites, just barely off the strip.

Phin!!!!!!!!!
really?
That is a crack house.
If he really is so broke that he needs to stay there, he should not come.    You can get REALLY cheap rooms at excalibur ($30 sometimes) or circus circus or new york new york.
Go to the casinos' websites and look for the RATE CALENDAR and pick your days based on price of rooms.

Maybe now, but I remember when they were built, even stayed there a couple times.

Unless you're a professional player and use 1$ and come back with 1 million?  

Even better maybe it's still possible to find promo/freeplay chips.

I used to be a small-time poker pro in a past life. It was a helluva grind.

I find it easier to make money flipping cryptocurrencies (and IMHO my currency trading skills aren't as good as my poker ones), not to mention the free and clean entertainment of troll boxes. It seems that an 0,2% "rake" is less of a headwind than a 10% one!

Nah, eastern Australia, and New Zealand, not the US. I visited Vegas once in 2005, however.

Reminds me of a story a poker room manager at Whiskey Pete's once relayed to me, of whom I refer to as Bob.

Bob was telling me that the other day he was at Caesar's dropping dollars in a slot machine when a gold digger approached him. The following conversation is paraphrased:

GD: How you doing?
Bob: <knowing a gold digger when he sees one> Not too bad.
GD: Where you from?
Bob: <not wanting to let on he was local or give his true hometown, he offered up his uncle's> Cleveland.
GD: Oh my God, I'm from Cleveland!

I smiled and said I have to try that line sometime. Being that the small poker room was right next to a bank of slots, I had my chance within seconds to try it out within earshot of Bob. A woman was now sitting in front of a slot machine only a few feet from where Bob was standing. The following exchange took place.

Me: How you doing?
Woman: Don't know yet. I just got here.
Me: Seriously? Where you from?
Woman: Anchorage, Alaska.
Me: You're kidding? I'm from Cleveland.

The woman stared at me oddly as I walked back to Bob who was unable to contain himself.

Me: It didn't work.
Bob: Idiot! You were suppose to say Anchorage, not Cleveland.
Me: But I'm not from Anchorage.
Bob: You're not from Cleveland either.
Me: Picking up women is so hard. I'm going back to table. I see the button is coming back around.

Blue Man Group, Old Vegas, Cirque du Soleil, Walking the strip you'll find some good stuff. Depending on what hotel you're at they should have a place where you can sign up for deals on restaurants and shows.
