Welcome to 2012. The fireworks and all night New Year's Eve parties are over. Time for Las Vegas to get back to work getting rid of the old and in with the new.
The Las Hilton has changes it's name to LVH--Las Vegas Hotel and Casino. Here is the link to their new web page: http://www.thelvh.com/ I like the new design of their web page. You can sign up for new e-mail offers and follow them of Twitter or Facebook.
At Caesars Palace the new Octavius Tower is now open. This is priced as a luxury room, so don't expect to get it cheap! Caesars still has a bevy of headliners, Elton John, Celine Dion, Ron Stewart and Shania Twain. Just check to see who is performing when you are planning to be there.
The Flamingo has opened the Margaritaville Casino. It is small, really not much to it. Renovating some rooms to what they call "Fab rooms". Best thing about them is they are newly renovated and not too expensive. Remember the Harrah's hotels do not have a resort fee!!
The MGM Grand has removed the lion exhibit, No word yet on what will replace it. MGM is also renovating it's rooms and casino.
The Bellagio is also renovating more of it's rooms this year. And don't forget to check out the renovated Tropicana. Everything there has been updated. New rooms, casino, new beach club. Looking very good.
That is a few of the new changes for 2012, as always, more changes to come!!
The hotels,casinos, shopping, nightlife, restaurants. Las Vegas is the destination for fun. Find helpful information to use planning your Las Vegas vacation. Promo codes and links to help you save money.

Absinthe Returns, YEA!!
The most talked about show on the Las Vegas strip is returning on October 21. Scheduled for a year long run. Tickets are on sale now on the Caesars Palace website or with Ticketmaster website. I have seen this show six times. It was great entertainment every time. Most of the cast is returning. Including the Gazillionare, Penny Pibbets, and the Green Fairy Melody Sweets. I have read where the skating couple are moving to the Planet Hollywood for their own show. Good for them, they are excellent. Currently, I believe all the other acts are returning. But change is always possible.
And a good change is the Speigelworld is changing. A new and improved tent if being set up. The original tent met it's match against the Las Vegas thunderstorms a few weeks ago. The area outside the tent is supposed to be enclosed and covered to keep the rain and heat away. Make sure to stop by and see this show when your in Vegas. But be warned, this is an adult show. Crude, rude language and not politically correct humor abounds. It's great!! Tickets are $99.70 and $135.00 for the VIP entry. Look for discounts on the Absinthe site or around the box office at the tent. Usually someone handing out $20.00 discount tickets.
At the Circus Circus the Fright Dome is back for the Halloween season. It is open now till October 31. Opens at 7pm and closes at midnight. This year it has five haunted houses to try ans scare you! The rides in the Adventure Dome are part of the admission ticket. Plus some scary movies and other creepy things to keep you amused and frightened. The general admission ticket is $36.95, some might find that terrifying!!
Finally something new at the Flamingo to go see. The brand new Margaritaville Casino has opened. Hopefully this will bring some new life and energy to the Flamingo. They really need to upgrade the whole casino. This is located right by the Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville restaurant. So be ready to enjoy his music while you play.
Enjoy this short video of the Absinthe show!!!!

Star Trek Battle Stations Good Action
I played this at the Flamingo Casino and Venetian Casino. It was good fun and action. You need to build a fleet of space hips to do battle. You do this by collecting points on special points on the slot reels. The more you bet, the quicker you can build your fleet. Then around every eight minutes you and any other players who qualify will enter the battle zone.
You will select enemy space ships for you to target and attack. The stronger your ships and fleet the more you can win. Your ship can be destroyed if it is not strong. If your shields hold, you can get another attack for more credits to win. When the battle is over, you collect credits won, and then will start to build a new fleet for the next battle.
If any of your ships survive, they will stay in your fleet for the next battle round. This game plays on two screens side by side. Wilds in the first screen can be transported to the second screen. This helps in getting wins to keep you in the action. And if you wish to end the game before the battle round begins, you can sell the ships you have built and get the credits.
I found the version at the Flamingo to have more action than the Venetian. I had good play for my money and was good entertainment. Did make a profit. small one. If you like the Star Trek games, this should be one for you too enjoy.

Aria Hotel the Place to Stay
Last week I stayed at the Aria Hotel for three wonderful comped nights. I stayed at the Cosmopolitan Hotel for three nights first. Just a short walk from the Cosmo through the Crystals Shopping Mall to the Aria. Room was ready for me, in my room by 11am.
Never had very much good luck at the Aria before. But it has become one of my favorite hotels. Finally had some good luck on the penny slot machines. Hit for a few hundred on the "Sun and Earth" machine. then little bit later had very good luck on the "I Love Lucy" cascading tiles penny slot. Hit a winning streak where the wins just kept coming and coming. Cashed out with a very nice win! This version keeps track of your last five plays. You have a chance to win them again if you get the tiles to cascade for three straight times a play. It can add up quickly. Not much luck on the dollar machines for me. I did see quite a few people have good luck on the five dollar machines back by the Players Club desk area.
If you have not been to the Aria before, be ready, it is huge. And it is back off the strip a couple blocks, so have your walking shoes. Take advantage of the Crystals Shopping Mall. Walk thru the mall to get to the walkway out front on the LV Strip. And just short walk then to Cosmo and Bellagio. Or use the tram stop at Crystals to Bellagio or Monte Carlo. You can walk from the Aria casino to the Monte Carlo. Which will lead you yo the Monte Carlo street of shops. Then walk down to the New York or MGM. So the location is pretty for people who like the mid strip action.
I usually eat at the Buffet at the Aria. Very good, on par with Bellagio, Mirage, Wynn and Planet Hollywood. I tried the 24 hour cafe called Cafe Vettro. Food was very good, prices reasonable. Service was very good. The room is large and spacious. Nice atmosphere to have a relaxing casual meal. For snack food or quick drink the Elements is open 24 hours, Best hotel gift shop on the strip.
I saw the Elvis show before, once was enough for me. If your an Elvis fan you should enjoy. Very nice Elvis gift shop to browse for you.
This was a very nice vacation for me. Ready to stay at the Aria again!!

Cosmopolitan Glitz and Clamour on the Strip
Back from staying three nights at the Cosmopolitan and then the Aria. Went the week if July 10. First time staying at the Cosmo, I was invited to a slot tournament there. Then stayed another three nights at the Aria on a very nice comped deal.
The weather was hot, but not too bad for July. The high temp was around 100 every day. The suite at the Cosmo was a Terrace Suite. Very nice!! Enough space with a sitting area with a couch, writing desk and chair. Very comfy king size bed. Large bathroom. The room has the mini bar that I never use. Too expensive no matter where you stay. Room also has a microwave, but nothing to cook in it. No coffee, tea, soup, or popcorn. And no place in hotel to buy the foods for microwave. Room has a balcony with one chair and a stool. Great views from my room on the 37th floor.
Only place I ate was at the Wicked Spoon buffet. I think is ok, but pricey. Bellagio, Mirage, Aria and Planet Hollywood buffets are better for me. Not a drinker, so I don't try the bars. But did hear a very good rock band the "Nervous Wreckords" playing there. Be on the look out for their new cd release this fall.
I did win $500 in the $75,000 slot tournament. Was hoping for better of course!! Not much luck gambling the three days. But the Cosmo is very high, glitz and glamour. The chandelier in the middle is quite impressive. Stop by the Cosmopolitan and walk around. A bit different from the other strip casinos and hotels. I will let you find out for yourself.
Will post soon about my stay Aria. Have fun and good luck!!

No more Comps from Venetian/Palazzo for Me
The Venetian/Palazzo have decided to end most comps for most players. Very little free or discounted rooms, food, shopping or gaming. No reason now to be a slot member, No reason to go to their casinos and give them my money. Too many other hotels on the strip still want my business. The low rollers and middle of the road spenders are the life blood of Las Vegas. We provide the daily steady steam of income that they need.
This may work for the Venetian/Palazzo with their 10 year agreement with the InterContinetal Hotel group providing them the business class of people they desire. But what about all the people in the slot club? Who have shown the willingness to spend their money there. I think most of the hotels on the strip have been cutting comps to save money. But I think competition of the hotels will end up keeping the comps going for most places.
But for me, I will not be giving my play or money to the Venetian/Palazzo anymore. The Mirage or Bellagio or Harrah's still treat me just fine. I will play where I am wanted and treated well. Comps is not the only reason to play in a casino. But with money tight, players need to get as much bang for their dollar they can.
Something for you to think about when your deciding where to stay and play in Las Vegas

New MGM Hotel Offers
Finally back and updating after hectic holidays and winter snow storms. Check out some of the new hotel and shopping deals I have listed for the spring.
I did manage to get away to Vegas for a few days in February. Staying at the Aria Hotel. Very nice room, but nothing fantastic. Also stayed at Bellagio for the first time. Again room nice, but worth over paying for. Still think the best rooms I have stayed in are the suites at the Venetian/Palazzo.
I like the Aria casino, but have no good luck there. Buffet is good, about same as Bellagio, Mirage and Planet Hollywood. Also stopped in the new Cosmopolitan Casino. Very nice and elegant with the large crystal chandelier in the middle of the room. Good selection of slots, not much for video poker. And if you can endure the very long walk to the Wicked Spoon, the buffet at the Cosmo, the desserts are fantastic!! Only ate dinner there one night. Will have to try again to see what the food selection is like. But when I was there, no crab legs. Booooo.
The Mob Experience at the Tropicana is still not open. Can't find an opening date for it. Correction:the Las Vegas Mob Experience should open March 1. I saw the preview center back in December. New food court is open at the Flamingo, burgers, subs, pizza. Johnny Rockets is there, their food is ok. NYNY done with the remodeling in their casino. Still a tight squeeze to get by the machines.
Hopefully the end of winter is in sight and another Vegas vacation soon to follow!!!
