Hello All!
What a GREAT time to visit Vegas - from Sunday Nov 19th, the town was empty! We loved it! No waiting for restaurant tables, show tickets, strike machines, etc.
The "score of the week" - I booked the Barbary Coast on a special offer 3 months ago for $40 a night (2 nights). Happily, 4 days before we left, Boyd sent us a "buy one night,get the second night free" coupon. Armed with this and a sneakily displayed $20 bill (between drivers' license and credit card), the desk person upgraded us (without saying a word) to a drop dead gorgeous jacuzzi suite overlooking the Bellagio fountains - absolute heaven to us! Hubby was really happy as it even had two bathrooms! Total cost for the jacuzzi suite: $30 a night!
We had fair to good luck on the strikes.
We did skip playing for the Slots-A-Fun new red cap, as they were reloading the machine Sunday morning with 1 red cap per sleeve - and they were way up high. Made me thankful that Starge and myself bumped into eachother and were lucky enough to each get one during my last trip in October - whew!
** Note: HI STARGE!*****
The only "error" we made was while getting the Palms Playboy strikes. We had good luck on the single line strike machine next to the players card club (stayed away from the triple line machine, we've never had luck on these). Since it was the last day of the Palms Collectables Show, several collectors approached us wanting to buy any extras we had. Now since my mom taught me to share, I was glad to appease fellow collectors. But somehow, when we got home and I checked the playboy set - my hubby gave away the "gentleman bunny in tux" and accidently kept 2 of the "girl with key" strikes - aaaaugh!
So if anyone has an extra gentleman bunny strike to trade, I have the following:
Palms: Playboy girl with key
Barbary Coast: Mt Charleston
Stardust: Hot Stardust Slots
South Coast: Shire Horse
Circus, Circus: Valet awning, Strip view
Or if you have a gentleman bunny for sale....
Thanks in advance for any help.

** I wonder if it's too early to book our trip for next Thanksgiving?
