The Vue Bar
Quote: MaxPenVP in Vegas is pretty much REKT. What's going on there now? I can stop in and check it out for you if needed.
The Vue is a classic play, a must visit on every trip. I still miss Key Largo and the Western. Nothing but bad news coming out of that town. Sure, I'd like to know what the deal is, but don't go to too much trouble. Thank you for the offer.
Quote: IndyJeffreyAs I have read on Twitter: "Bar is being torn out in its entirety. The new bar will look very similar, but will be brand spankin’ new. No changes to pay tables. In two weeks you’ll get back everything you love about Vue Bar - with a couple bonuses :) "
Thank you, that's good news. You made my morning. I wish I could click the thankyou button twice for you, but it only works once.
thank you
perhaps not in casinosQuote: sabreFrequently +EV video poker. There aren't many bars offering that anywhere.
I would guess there are at least 25 bars in LV that you can AP.

True, but I was thinking more from a tourist perspective.
I would imagine so, perhaps as legacy machines or ignorant bartenders or perhaps even as a marketing ploy. And of course a large tip can lead to bartenders turning a blind eye to a few things that might be considered as part of 'an advantage'.Quote: AxelWolf

However, of those 25 bars how many are near touristy areas where a spouse would be content?

Virtually none I would guess.
That would be my take too, so while this might be a boon to full-time residents of Las Vegas, it essentially precludes vacationers from taking advantage of the situation because even if the husband is willing to explore seedy bars in the boondocks, the wife and kids will want a more 'touristy' experience.Quote: tringlomaneVirtually none I would guess.

The “tourists” you speak of are the reason there are few good plays left on the strip. It’s their choice to get F’d in the name of playing in Vegas.
That said, most of these places are not seedy and really are no different than local bars in any town USA.
I UBER to multiple off strip bars every trip and have never felt unwelcome and also make acquaintances with many locals. Good values out there if you look.
That said, I get why some keep the wife happy by staying on the strip. It’s a well deserved vacation to many.
I don't know what you are talking about, seedy bar's in the boondocks. Many of las Vegas bar's have better atmospheres and food that would put other places top restaurants and bars to shame.Quote: FleaStiffThat would be my take too, so while this might be a boon to full-time residents of Las Vegas, it essentially precludes vacationers from taking advantage of the situation because even if the husband is willing to explore seedy bars in the boondocks, the wife and kids will want a more 'touristy' experience.

I played pay table in planet hollywood that I don't even know what they were. I could have been playing 5/2 bonus and wouldn't have known or cared. When I am there to tourist then I am there to be a tourist. I walk off the elevator and hit the first machine that talks to me which is also the one where I can see a cocktail waitress. As long as my $100 lasts me a few beers I am happy. And on the occasion I will hit a royal and be super happy like last summer.
That is what the casinos count on. The "buzz", the "it's a vacation" attitude, the sharpie who dumbs down a bit because he is there with the wife and kids.Quote: GWAEI walk off the elevator and hit the first machine that talks to me which is also the one where I can see a cocktail waitress.
