Caesars Palace Shooting — I mean: wtf?!

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

Look, we all like to shoot guns, right? (no, but aaa’aaight)

Alright, we all like to gamble, right? (aa’aaaight!)

But: we all know casino’s are f***** FILLED with camera’s, right? (hell yeah!)

Okay — SO DONT SHOOT PEOPLE IN A FRIKKING CASINO!! This guy is so stupid, I just can’t describe how numb he really must be — shooting a handgun in an elevator of the famous Caesars Palace casino in Las Vegas.

More info on the shooting can be read on the website of the Las Vegas Sun.

The fireworks is so out of line… Oh well… :(

Rest In Peace, Oh Stardust Hotel & Casino

Monday, December 24th, 2007

The Stardust really was one of the true classics on the Las Vegas strip. Always classy, always a true gem and right now — no longer there. It hurts Vegas enthusiasts like myself to see these classic casino’s go, but there’s just nothing we can do — and that’s simply because we’re not communists…

The free market didn’t like The Stardust, so The Stardust had to go… It’s capitalism, baby!

Video below is a tribute to the Stardust — enjoy it! :)

I’m not too happy with the view of the room — but I’m sure you won’t be to bothered with that staring at that 50 inch screen. :D

Helicopter ride above the Las Vegas Strip

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

Man have I always wanted to do this… These guys are lucky bastards doing an excellent heli flight over the full Las Vegas Strip (and more). We can see quite a few of the big hotel & casino resorts…

My personal favorite in this vid is by far the MGM Grand. Damn does that hotel look awesome from the sky! :D

Bellagio fountains doing Viva Las Vegas

Sunday, December 9th, 2007

What’s the Bellagio most famous for? Their pokerroom? Whaaat? No way! Their fountains! The beautiful Bellagio fountains (in the Bellagio lake) have various great shows in which they’re tuned to the music — and this one is my personal favorite…

Ladies and gentlemen — enjoy Elvis Presley & The Bellagio fountains – Viva Las Vegas! ;)

A nice view at a Bellagio room!

Sunday, December 9th, 2007

Tipsfortravellers guide us through a Bellagio room (lake view, which means you can enjoy a view of the fountains AND the Strip) — and I have to say I can’t wait to go there myself. Beautiful accommodation, and from what I’ve heard one of the most exciting cardrooms in Vegas.

Playing poker in The Venetian – Las Vegas

Sunday, December 9th, 2007

The Venetian poker room is the nicest setting in Vegas to play poker. It draws a crowd and is very popular. Everyone here feels like a VIP. It has comfortable lounges, beautiful décor and top quality service. Even the low limit players are treated well at the Venetian. The Tables are top notch. Lovely felt and comfortable arm rests. The popularity of the room can mean a long wait for a table at your limit.

For those with a bank balance bigger than most normal people they have a quality VIP area. But you need to be able to bankroll blinds of $1,000/$2,000 to even think about playing here.

Many of the players at The Venetian poker room are professional poker players. If you need to be at the mid to high limits you will be up against experienced and profitable players. However the Venetian is also a popular tourist trap. The lower limits may well be a place to clean up against the ‘have- a –goes’.

The dealers are professional and in the most part pleasant. They make few mistakes and they are fast, which is great for the hands per hour rate. Both the dealers and the management at The Venetian poker room really know how to treat their guests.

The Venetian hotel and casino

The Venetian is a great place to play poker. If you want a friendly comfortable atmosphere, with great table service the Venetian is for you. If you want terrible players at the high limits it is best to look elsewhere.
