As some of you know, I am turning 21 in September. For my birthday, my family have announced today that they have already booked a hotel(Don't know which one), and yes, PHOF is one of the destinations I will be going to!!!! Can't wait until then!!!!
Vegas....with family.....?
Haha just kidding
Seriously though, I need you to put down an Olympic bet for me.
Quoted from playboywillis:Seriously though, I need you to put down an Olympic bet for me.
In September?
Have a great time! Went there last year for the first time. Had a blast. Tons of things to do. Want to go back.
Quoted from kwiKimart:Mine is the day after yours.
And mine is the day after yours...and I've had more than twice as many...!
Aghhh Vegas... I've never had a good time there First time was new years 2000, got the flu from someone in the car on the drive up and had a fever of 102+. Second time went with the family to a Beatles convention then got dragged down to the old strip for cheap buffets and slots.... I need to go back cause im 0 in 2! Have fun!
Quoted from Miguel351:In September?
I skimmed it. It'd be a lock though. If I found the right stooge. Hrmmmm...
Quoted from Firebaall:Shake the family, and hit up some strip joints!
Might take my brother with me to one.
BTW, any other places to play pinball besides PHOF?
The Orleans had a few pins if I remember correctly. If you go to a casino, I enjoy Blackjack, and Pai Gow Poker. Good odds, and easy to play(PGP)? Dealer will tell you how house would split cards up if you need help. Not really a poker game, it is a tile game reinvented. Check it out.
Quoted from VegasAlleycat:The Riviera has a PHOF extension with a bunch of pins. Haven't had a chance to check it out yet though...
We stayed at Riviera just for this reason (pins). They have alot of old EM's and some A titles as well. You will have a blast there.
Nice.
Have fun at the Hall of Fame. Plan to get there when they open (11am) and stay for awhile. I stayed about 4 hours.
If you don't have a car: Taxi down to the PHOF and plan to bus back. There is a bus stop up the street from the PHOF. Jump on that bus ($2.00). It will take you to the strip. There is then a free bus that runs the strip.
Good info in this thread.

If you can , go to the Older section of Vegas ,, Play Rock, paper & scissors , Guess which hand the dealer has the coin in etc... Just Enjoy yr visit.. I got married in Vegas in 05 and stayed at The Luxor ,, Beautiful !!!

You've been here, haven't you BR?
Remember to go to have a fun time there, NOT to win money. That's the biggest flaw a young pup can make. Make sure to hit up all the motion rides at the casinos.
If only the Star Trek Experience was still there.
I think I went to veags once, but I am not quite sure...
Have fun Kwikimart! See a cirque show >> they are really amazing and well worth the cash to see one!!!
Quoted from practicalsteve:Speramint rhino!
Ah, this is the place you need to go Kwiki....and say hi to Brandie for me.
Quoted from williams:Good info in this thread.

Thanks for the link.
Another cool place I'll check out:
BTW, I might have to go to Vegas after Labor Day week, in which my birthday is on one of those days. I've heard it's packed on Labor Day and during that week.
Quick update:
I will be staying at the Mirage with my family from Sept. 7-11. Don't know if I'll be attending any shows.....
I will be at the Bellagio from 9/7 - 9/10
We will have to meet up at PHoF that weekend at some point.
Quoted from Jeff_PHX_AZ:We stayed at Riviera just for this reason (pins). They have alot of old EM's and some A titles as well. You will have a blast there.
That is where I want to stay. In all my trips to Vegas I've never once stayed there.
You don't want to stay there. You want to stay somewhere else, and then walk or drive there. I speak from experience.
Lol, who's the jerk that gave the post a thumbs down?!?
Kwiki, congrats on the trip and your 21st brotha! Gonna be a great time for sure! Just don't venture too far outside of the strip though, the neighborhoods around Vegas can get really depressing, really quick
Quoted from Firebaall:Shake the family, and hit up some strip joints!
Which have pinball in them?

PM sent gambit.
Dude if you want to have a great time first if your flying there rent a car. F-(king taxis will run you big money, every hotel has free valet parking so you only have to tip. Hit Tryst at the Wynn get there early and ask the consierge at your hotel where you can get free passes to get in or look on line before you go. You should be able to find $1 passes sure beats paying $30 to get in. Even if you had to pay full price the music is great the club is beautiful and so is every single woman in the place. Get a place at the bar because you can't sit down anywhere unless you buy a $500 bottle and that's only for 2 people.
The 2 big clubs I went to where tryst and marquee at Cosmo and tryst was better by far. But in all fairness went to tryst in August and marquee in December so we couldn't enjoy the out door part of the club.
The cirque du soleil show Kai was awesome if you like Kung fu and a great story.
