The coffee situation at the Rio sucks. They've closed the coffee place at the tower elevators, you now must hike (and I mean hike) to Starbucks. I refuse mini-bar coffee.

5 days in Vegas and this is your major thought/experience/gripe ?? Just seems kind of trivial in the grand scheme of things. lol

He'll feel better in a few minutes, once he's had his coffee. Until then it's a crisis of monumental proportions. Kind of like air: it's not a big deal unless you're not getting any.

Keeping it kinda cronological. For breakfast, can't beat the Gold Coast, $5.99 buffet or $4.99 TGIF special. If you plan to use the full pay STP machine on a bonus point day, get there early. I ended up at the bar.

Isn't the starbucks stand between the Ipanema tower elevator and the casino floor? Or is that the stand that they closed?

Yes it is. I was staying in the Masquarade tower. Six months ago there was a Rio Java at the elevator. For me (and many like me) its a round trip cause the wife ain't moving until she's had her coffee.

It's worse than I thought: not just a coffee problem - potentially a sex and coffee problem.

I am sooo there with you. I actually wrote to Starbucks to complain....2 at the Golden Nugget and NONE anywhere near the MSS. My boyfriend doesn't move until his coffee either.

I generally stay at the 4 Queens. My morning routine is to go accross the Freemont exp to The Freemont and hit up Dunkin Donuts inside the Freemont for donut and coffee.
Its just a forum. Nothing here to get obsessed about.

I was hoping to, but if the bonus point day is Friday, that basically ruins my plans. :(

I would rather play for normal points than not play at all since I am a major STP addict. Are the NSUD machines and the double bonus deuces wild machines packed on those days too?

You can get on those machines. The Gold COAST has 7x fridays this month. I do the senior monday (5x). I played dollar JOB at the bar this past friday, 1100 hands, lost $300.
