Please ADD your own Las Vegas Trip Report. Date of Trip: May 05, 2009 to May 10, 2009 Hotel Stayed At: Paris Report by: Gambling man <> From: Summit NJ

Ok, here goes my trip report for the first time. My brother and I go two or three times a year. We are going again in July. Plane was JetBlue got there around 10:30am. Went right to the Taxi line. (BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD - or at least one of the best) Told the taxi guy Audrey lane way. Short cut that most people don't use. Taxi ride is cut in half. (Less traffic) Got there and checked in.

Check in: One of the better places. No real wait time. Did the magic $20 trick - it worked have a corner suite? Sweet On the way to my room played $100 Wheel of Fortune $5 spins. Second pull hit the wheel. laned on 100 but times 5 won $500. Nice start

Here's what my brother and I do. We each pick a day and we are in charge of everything for that day. So here goes the day that I did for my brother. I am a real good brother. You won't believe what we did.

11am had breakfast outside by the pool. Steak and eggs couple of bloody Marys. Great start.

Hung out at the pool until 3pm - That's when the first surprise hit. Took my brother to get a massage. Totally was a great start to relax us from our psycho wives and kids.

After massage was over went back up to our rooms to get changed for the events of the night. We met up at the Eiffel tower for happy hour. (time 5:30-6:30pm) martini and good times ... then we headed down to the Rio. 2nd surprise. Went to the Wine Cellar for wine tasting and a cheese platter. Awesome time. 7-8pm.

Now it was almost dinner time so we headed to Red Square for vodka tasting at the Mandalay bay. We also got a caviar platter. What is this heaven no it’s VEGAS. Love this place. Now we only gambled so far - less then an hour total. We are BIG BIG gamblers. (in that we like to gamble for hours not really what you call high rollers - but we will play $25 BJ or have a few hundred on a craps table) We first started coming out here for one night only. Then it was two now 4 nights. We want to pace ourselves.

Then at 10pm because we will be up until 5 or so we like to eat late. (Also tables are packed at this time) So for my next surprise we have a wine and tasting menu at Areole. Awesome place. Small portions perfect because we already had some food along the way. When we are done with dinner -- cigar and scotch say around 1am

After Areole (midnight) we shoot over to the Wynn for a cigar and some scotch. The MAC as we call it. 21 years old.

Ok it’s around 1:30am now come the choices: I ask him to pick
1 Stay at the Wynn play let it ride; 2. TI play craps 3. Stratosphere to play Crapless craps

He picks stay at the Wynn - Good choice my brother hits four of a kind. The whole day and night was paid for. and it was an expensive day huh. Breakfast $ 65 Massage $300 Drinks (happy hour) $52
Wine tasting $140 Red Square $155 Areole $375 Wynn (Scotch and cigar) $95 $1182

4 of a kind $1200 $18 to spare. Can you say Seinfeld? We always seem to break even. Well that is what my brother and I do. It gives the Vegas trip a new dimension that can be fun to prepare for. Can't wait for him to see what I have planned in July. I have to start planning now.

We do it right. Seize the day my boy - seize the day. or as Morgan Freedman says "Get busy living, or get busy dying". The day will go down as one of the top 5 days of our life. Hope you liked.
