Your first mistake was staying at Ceasar's.... jeebus. Stratosphere might be a mile and a half from everything, but we were not treated like that there. We didn't really attempt to get free alcohol, but still...

Even the buffet at Ceasar's is ridiculous...the Bacchanal? It was by far the most expensive buffet we went to in 5 days, and the one we liked the LEAST. Want to say it was like 120 EACH?!? But YOLO, ya know? The best thing they had was a blood orange beer sorbet. Just depressing for the money. Won't be going back in there to gamble or eat, ever. Next time we go, we're definitely going over to Fremont to poke around.

LOL this is so true as well. It was cheaper for us to take an Uber from the airport than it was to take one of the shuttles, because the shuttles charge PER PERSON, and Uber doesn't!

Short of our last day there, we had broken even on gambling. Had a bit of a YOLO moment though and decided it was already budgeted to be lost, so we kept playing. Oh well?

Those Aruze slot machines are f---king technological wonders. Reels on steppers so you still have some kind of physical reel even if it's fully computer controlled, that do nuts things...reels spinning backwards, in slow motion, shaking, lining up, and clear LCD displays for bonus rounds. If someone knows how I could get ahold of one (legal to own slots in TX, already checked) I'd be *VERY* interested, as I contacted Aruze and they basically said they only sell through their distributors...which they wouldn't tell me who that was, heh.

Can't tell you how many times we had relatively big wins on their Aztec or "wolf moon" themed games.. think my best one was a 90 buck win on a 20 cent spin...
