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.
When somebody doesn't believe me, I could care less. Some get totally bent out of shape when not believed. Weird. I believe very little on all forums

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?
