Slipping 3 dollars into a progressive on the way to breakfast and hitting a few million. Ummmm, hasn't happened to me, but wouldn't that be perfect.

[MissConduct]

....would be any day that ends with me as a WINNER!!!!

[diana-al]

al's perfect day is to be at the paris's "horsey room" & bet the trifectas-
sometimes he has won over $1000-my perfect day is to make the drive to
primm to check out the outlet mall-the drive is awesome-love the mountains
& the desert-also I love to walk the strip-the sun is usually shining & there
is great people watching-actually every day that you are in vegas it's perfect-

[parisbill]

Weather in the high 70's...low humidity.

No wristwatch

Setting out to any casino that may be appealing at that moment in time

Realizing that my gaming $$ for the day is my entertainment fee and winning is a bonus

Reservations for a new restaurant that our readers have recommended..

Turing my cell phone off for the day

In summary..."all is right in my world at this moment in time"

Nice... simply nice!!

[ASTIDIXIE]

:D The perfect day in Vegas.........get up.........have someone bring coffee to my room, shop at the country convention centers, have lunch, catch the shuttle to the rodeo, then attend a concert, a little gambling with a late nite meal.........:D

[talanhart]

I don't know why, but I love Vegas in June, July and August. Any day that I am there and it is 100º or more is the best for me.

[Johanna7]

Winning free shows in the 'spin and win' wheels at the Riviera and Tropicana. I hope they last long enough for our next trip.

We have won shows to Splash at the Riviera and the magic show at Tropicana and they were great. Also the Neil Diamon show at Riviera was won at the free spin wheels.

Winning at the slots is good too of course.

[bigbri525]

We start by getting up about 8 am, head to the Orleans breakfast buffet, and have some breakfast. Go to the strip, grab a drink at Ballys, go over to Caesars, find a good sitting spot, and people watch for the rest of the day, at least until we need another drink:D

For dinner, saunter on down to the Stratosphere, have dinner at Fallini's, and call it a night.

[Souette]

5:00 a.m. Waking up in the perfect bed at the Bellagio
5:15 a.m. Opening the drapes and looking down on the almost deserted strip as the sun begins to rise over the mountains.
6:00 a.m. Climbing back into the perfect bed at the Bellagio
7:00 a.m. Room Service!

8:00 a.m. On the Casino floor!
10:00 a.m. Spa appointment for massage
11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Lounging by/in the pool in the desert heat with ice-cold drinks hand delivered at my request.

4:00-6:00 Shower/Whirlpool bath in the huge, marbled bathroom. Short Nap.

7:00 p.m. Quiet dinner (no struggling at a buffet) as I'm waited on by staff.

8:00 p.m. Hit the Casino floor! LOVE that Roulette wheel.

11:00 p.m. Fontana Bar for a break with drink & music.

Midnight ~ Back on the Floor!

3:00 am. Over to the Cafe Bellagio for a quick bite.
3:30 am Bedtime!

**An hour or 2 of sleep is all I need. Too excited to sleep with all the stuff available downstairs....kinda like a little kid at Christmas time.

This week's "Topic Of The Week" question is:

Describe your PERFECT Las Vegas day from start to finish.


Describe your perfect day for us Steve.:D

[leighw55]

Get up and head to the pool with a good book. Lay around the pool until noon or so. Go back to my room, take a shower, then head to the casinos for some gambling while it's too hot to be outside. Freshen up and go out for a nice dinner, then head downtown to Fremont Street and enjoy the live music and dance in the streets. Then back inside for more gambling. And of course it would be perfect if either my husband or myself hit a big one. But that would just be a bonus.

[Never Enuf Vegas]

Get up and out of the room by 8:00 to grab a cup of coffee and wander the casino while it's still quiet. Play some slots or VP. Have a mimosa if I feel like it, or another cup of coffee. Get out to the pool by 10:00-10:30 for some suntanning and a swim. Relax by the pool with headphones on for an hour or two. Back up to the room to shower and get ready for the day. Find a new place for lunch around 1:00ish. Play some pai gow poker for an hour or two and then start the "afternoon cocktail wander" where I go from hotel to hotel and lounge to lounge and have a drink here and there (the bartenders at Bellagio's Petrossian Bar always expect me around 3:00 and start making my drink as soon as I walk in the door!! Gotta love that!!). Hopefully some of the lounges will have their bands playing already or I'll end up at Harrah's for the afternoon karoake in the Piano Bar or the craziness outside at Carnival Court. Head back to the room with a nice buzz around 6:30ish to clean up and get ready for dinner. Change into nicer clothes and splurge with dinner reservations at a nice restaurant. After dinner play more slots or pai gow poker. Then go to whatever hotel my favorite lounge band, "Front Page" is playing at around 10:30 pm. Hang out drinking and dancing to the band for a while. Around midnight or 1:00 cab to one of the local bars I like or maybe one of the larger hotel nightclubs with a DJ and dancing. Usually back to hotel in bed by 4:00 am for four hours sleep and then start process all over again.

[nchikk]

Sleep in...to me that means not waking up before 7:00.
Breakfast at the Orleans buffet.
Play poker and/or bj until lunch...and win.
Lunch at the Aladdin buffet.
Nap for an hour or two.
Play more poker/bj until dinner and win.
Dinner at the Paris buffet.
See a show.
Play more poker/bj and win.
Go to Bahama Breeze for Fire Roasted Jerk Shrimp appetizer and a drink as a late night snack.
Go to sleep.
Repeat.

[Firemanmoe]

Winning would help the day along BUT just being there is a good start.

[luvmesumvegas]

Sleep in, go any buffet and don't have to wait in line. Find a machine or table that I want to play and not have to wait for a seat to open and walk away a winner. Have a nice steak dinner without having to wait for a table, and front row seats to a A+ show. Then back to a machine to win the million $ progress jackpot before going to bed.:D

[bevierose]

My perfect day would be one that I win at a tough Blackjack table. When I found a $100 chip one time in Mandalay Bay on the floor, I looked around and didn't see anyone claiming it so I picked it up. I said to myself, "this will bring you luck." And so it did. I stopped at a hot table while I was ahead and walked away a winner! It felt so great to win on someone else's money and such an adrenaline rush!
Also, staying at the Bellagio, swimming in the pool in hot weather, and eating a delicious dinner there with lots of cash to play with. That is perfect! Aaaah!;) ;)

[vegasdough]

My perfect day would be to win the Megabucks. Then everything else would fall into place.

[JMVegas5866]

How I would plan a perfect day in Vegas...

1.) Waking up to the view of the Strip early in the morning. I love looking at the mountains in the horizon. Overlooking all the casinos, I know a fun day is awaiting no matter if I win or loose.

2- plan A.) Catch an early breakfast at the Paradise buffet at the Fremont Casino. Then over to a few casinos on Freemont Street to play some 2D Blackjack.

2- plan B.) Also, a breakfast at Terribles casino cafe on the second floor could also start off my perfect day. Then straight down to the Terribles casino to play some 2D blackjack.

3.) Over to the Stratosphere to check out what new Elvis and Marilyn merchandise they have at a shop called Rock n' Roll.

4.) Pit stop over to the Venetian. I head straight to the ice cream shop located on the casino floor for some of the best ice cream in the world. Also, the Venetian has something else I can't resist: the most beautiful coctail waitresses I have ever seen. The busty blondes are my favorite. So I sit and play some blackjack for a while and live that up a little. *whistle!*

5.) Head over to Barbary Coast to see Pete Valle (a.k.a. Big Elvis).

6.) Ok, now back to gambling. Maybe scope out some 2D blackjack while I am at Barbary Coast. If there aren't any good games then I'll head back to either Downtown or Terribles.

7- plan A.) Dinner time! Off to the Venetian again and right to the Grande Lux Cafe! That is the best 24/7 cafe on the face of the earth. The food is outstanding. The Chicken Parmagiane is my favorite for dinner.

7- plan B.) Also, another place I like to eat dinner at is Peppermill.

8.) Ok now its after 6pm or 7pm. That means back to playing blackjack. I could be playing till 2am or 3am or 4am or 5am. LOL.

9.) Go back to my room and get ready for bed. Sleep for 2-3 hours then start a new day. HAHAHAHA.

[King of Kurtopia]

Today's the perfect day, even though I'm not in Vegas yet. I leave for the airport in 4 hours.....PERFECT!

Kurt

[Sherry]

:p There isn't any doubt in my mind what would make a perfect day in Vegas. While waiting for your name to be called for restaurant seating, to kill time gamble and hit the BIG ONE!!!!!!!!!:p :p would be awesome......

[Bloomie]

The perfect day would be any day in Vegas, sun shining, about 80ish temperature, and just enjoying everything around.....and naturally a win would help. Will see what happens when we get there in October.

[mturner]

Summmertime:

1. early morning walk

2. gamble a bit

3. eat a lite breakfast

4. hit the pool by 9 or so

5. hit an ice cream shop

6. nap

7. enjoy a nice dinner

8. stroll the strip and end at harrahs for their fun filled piano duos or Karoke...always a fun time

9.gamble and gamble

10. nap

and do it all over again.

heaven!

[Lori R]

I can't imagine a perfect day that doesn't begin and end in Vegas. That's usually good enough for me but let's suspend reality for a moment. Let's suppose I have the metabolism of a hummingbird and I can eat as much of everything I want. Also I have unlimited funds and I can stand at the craps table without wincing every time someone craps out. And, while I'm asking for the impossible, I would like for my liver to process alcohol a little more effeciently. Now, I've got the food, hangover and gambling issues behind me.

The day would start waking up in either a suite at the GVR or any room at the Wynn (just love the beds in both places). If I'm at the GVR, my suite has a balcony overlooking the pool area with the strip in the distance. Order room service coffee and sit on the balcony slowly enjoying my coffee and biscotti, while immersing myself in the peacefulness of the scene in front of me (it's morning so there's not much activity yet). Downstairs for breakfast in the Original Pancake House and read my free newspaper.

If I'm at the Wynn, wake up slowly in my multi-pillowed bed and lean over and open the drapes using the wall control. Breakfast at either the Paris buffet or the Peppermill.

The day would consist of walking up and down the strip, going in and out of casinos and playing some table games while enjoying bloody marys (if it's morning) or vodka martinis. My liver is up to the task!

Late afternoon, go back to the room and nap.

Get dressed and see one of the Cirque shows or a headliner (do they still call it that?). After the show, go to dinner someplace where I will drop a few bills for a meal that includes an extravagant bottle of wine.

After dinner, see all six of the daily fountain shows at the Bellagio. I'm still dressed up so I finish my night gambling at the Bellagio where, hopefully, I win but, since funds are unlimited, it doesn't matter.

[tryon4]

Day begins at 5:00 AM with a little slot play and maybe a winner. Get in the car by 6, grab a cup of coffee, head down the strip to Fremont Street. Travel to Boulder Highway all the way to Tropican and the morning paper, USA today. Head to the airport viewing area, read paper, watch and listen to planes land. Back to Excalibur for 7:30. Play the slots and meet the Mrs. @8 for breakfast.
Following breakfast a little slot play then on the road for the day.
Hit specific casinos and try our luck. Get into 10:00 AM Texas Hold Em Tourney @Tuscanny. 12 Noon head for the Sahara. Cash$50.00 for $4o.. POV coupon and play BJ for an hour or so. Meet up again with wife and head for Silverton. Play a little there before heading to Rio for the 5:00 P.M. show. Follow this with a trip to the World Buffet.
Leave the Rio and head to The Comedy Stop @ Tropicana and the 8:00 PM show.
Back to the Excalibur, play some slots head to the room by Midnight.
It just doesn't get any better than that:D

[KingFishX]

Well, my wife and I would wake up before 9am in our suite at the Rio. It would be a perfect Sunday in Oct (temps in low 80's) kicked off by first-in-line roller coaster ride @ NY NY, followed by a short wait for a sumptuous champagne brunch at either Bellagio, Paris or Aladdin, then hanging out in a sportsbook at either Bellagio, Caesars or Hilton. Placing winning football bets all day, and pounding free beers. Then mebbe a late-afternoon dip in one of the Rio's pools, followed by dinner at either Binion's Steakhouse, Hugo's Wine Cellar @ 4 Queens, or the Steakhouse @ Circus. Old School, baby. Then a ridiculous hot streak at the dice tables at, say, Golden Nugget, Binion's, or the Golden Gate in which I can practically do no wrong and win over $500 in 2 hrs at a $5 table. Then a nightcap at the Voodoo Lounge at the Rio before we go to bed - and I'll leave the rest to the reader's imagination.... (Actually, I've had days that came close to this in reality - Viva Las Vegas!)

[Lackqueen]

I agree that any day in Vegas is perfect, but my most perfect was the last day of our last trip in March. It was a great trip as we took our son with us for his first time in Vegas. After 4 days of doing "ok" gambling, the last night just before I was about to head for our roomj, I hit 2 jackpots within an hour or so, and that paid for our trip & then some! We were comped for our entire stay, my son's (along with his 3 friends) room was comped, and we were all given a limo to the airport! Sure hope our trip in September is as good, we're staying at Wynn's for the first time with 3 nights comped :D

[lush702]

Sleep in until, oh, 9:00 AM or so - awake @ Wynn with Room Service - freshly baked croissants, butter/jam, a little sliced fruit, coffee...

Rinse off in the shower (no shave) - pull on some stylish casual clothes, head down to the car - convertible ride in the cool AM air cruising the Strip end to end, Elvis "Live in Las Vegas" on the CD...

Head over to Whiskers for a shave, then drop in The Gun Store to fire a few clips through automatic weapons in their firing range...

Zip over to Peppermill, drop in the Fireside Lounge for a couple toddies before easing in to the dining room for Brunch. Leave satiated...

Back to the Wynn - change in to swimsuit, head to private cabana - tune TV to ESPN (no volume), dial music to some Jazz - enjoy the scenery and comradery at the topless pool, then take in a massage. Relax...

Now tanned, rested, and ready - a successful blackjack session is a must...

Retire to the room, nap, confirm dinner and show reservations with Host - shower and dress for evening...

Another blackjack session beckons, prior to meeting dinner date (met @ pool)
for a drink - she arrives, if looks could kill...

Pop over to Venetian, via Wynn limo, for dinner @ Delmonico's - enjoy a 4 course dinner, stopping when just full, not stuffed - Emeril drops by the table, thanks us for coming in, says he really enjoyed dinner @ my house last month and hopes he'll get a return invite (we graduated from same Culinary School) >she swoons<...

Back to the Wynn - Avenue Q, down front (but not too close), right on the aisle - lots of laughs - a great show...

Out to the Casino - a few games of craps where the dice are on fire, causing much excitement and cheers which can be heard across the room --- stacks of black - purple - and yellows flow my way...

I ask my date if she'd like to go dance, or perhaps try another game of chance, to which she replies: "I'd prefer dancing in private - and the gambler in you already placed your bet on a sure thing..." At that, I give the nod to the pit boss, who contacts my Host, who sends up the Veuve Cliqot, Godiva chocolate, and the rose petals, which joins the box from La Perla (that I called for this afternoon) up in the room...

Whisked up the elevator - not stopping at a single floor until mine - down the hall, in to the room - lights low, Sinatra on, Strip lights twinkling below, "oh, you shouldn't have" eminates from her soft lips, barely above a whisper but the effects of her words drive to my core --- "let me go slip these on" trails away as she saunters to the dressing room. I slip off my coat, pop the cork, pour two glasses - then move the "Privacy Please" card from one side of the door to the other when I hear, "would you like to see what wonderful taste you have?"...

[Eileen]

We would be staying in a suite at the Paris across from the Bellagio fountains.

I would sleep in - that means after 10AM.

There is a big mug of hot tea and a few chocolate covered strawberries waiting for me.

Bubble bath for half hour in very warm water that doesn't get cold while I watch Regis & Kelly.

Everything I try on fits and makes me look skinny.

I head down to the casino to meet up with Steve. On the way I stop at a dollar machine and win $2,000.

I meet up with Steve at the race book and win every race that I bet - and they are all long shots.

Go to the buffet for lunch where all the desserts are delicious and calorie free.

Go back to the race book but stop and hit big on roulette.

Go back to the room to get dressed for dinner at some very expensive restaurant at Ceasar's before being honored guests at Celine's show - where of course we will have the best seats and then get to meet Celine afterward. I will probably cry.

After the show, head back to The Paris (in a limo because I have heels on) to play some Pai Gow. I win every hand - including the bonus.

Before heading up to the room we play the $5 Wheel of Fortune and hit the jackpot of $1 million.

I call the all the kids and tell them I am sending a jet for them, courtesy of the Paris! :)

Eileen

[dreamcatcheril]

half hour walk at 5:30 AM on the empty quiet strip just as the sun is coming up.
Returning to the hotel, sitting at a$5.00 BJ table where two good players are sitting to keep the play a little slower.. Buying in for $100. playing well , the cocktail server bring coffee ballies and whip cream. Watching my buy in slowly vanish to the dealers side in about an hour. Then buying in again for another $100 & seeing it go to the dealers side. When I am down a total of $175 I bet the last $25 on one hand. I am delt a pair of 8's having to cash in another $100 to split the 8's with the dealers 6 up. Being delt a 3 on the first 8 which calls for a double down. being delt a 3rd 8 on the second hand requiring another split. Then Reciving a 2 on the second hand which would call for a second double down. Being delt a 4th 8 for another split and requiring another $100.00 buy in, Wow I receive a 3 on the third hand for my third double down. On the forth hand I receive another 2 calling for my 4th double down.
Dazzzed and confused all I can do is hope. The dealer breaks, I win all the hands, it's been 2 hours at the table. Time for a break, color me up, count it up. Walk, after a $10.00 tip to the dealer and $3.00 for 3 coffee ballies and whip creams ( liquid breakfast ) there is a $12.00 profit.
That got the heart started. It's 8:AM what's next on todays list of a perfect day in Vegas?
Does it realy matter?

[Steve]

Well first of all the day has to be spent with Eileen to even make it close to perfect ;)

I would love to "sleep in " just one time. I never sleep past 9am and I am usually up at 6-7am.

The day would start with a nice massage then up to the racebook where I would finally win more races that I lost.

I would like to have lunch outside on the Strip if it's not too hot. Nice pitcher of Iced Tea at the table.

I would like to play Pai Gow in a High Limit Room just once. I have played slots there a few times.

Dinner would have to be at a romantic restaurant maybe at the Bellagio, (PRIME), Harrah's (The Range) or The Las Vegas Hilton Steakhouse.

After dinner we would just gamble a while and head up to the room where hopefully the day would end with a romantic interlude :D

Steve

[sandlind]

When The Plane Lands And I Can Say "i'm Home!" Having No Trouble Getting My Rental Car. Having No Trouble Checking Into My Hotel .when Workers Are Friendly, Drinks Are Mixed Well, Food Is Done Just Right, Slots Are Hitting, I Get A Good Nights Sleep, I Get A Good Seat At A Show, The Traffic Isn't Too Heavy, I Yell"bingo", That's What I Call A Good Day In Vegas!!!:)

[Coaltownannie]

My perfect day starts with a morning shower and a large coffee to wake me up. I then head on down to the casino at the hotel I am staying at - maybe to give a little and hopefully to win a little. My perfect day continues on into the afternoon, evening and then well into the night where I continue to give a little and hopefully to win a little. This goes on for my seven glorious days of vacation. To sum it all up? Every day in Vegas is a good day for me.:)

[Marla Chi-to-Houston]

I'm waking up in my beloved Venetian, having room service, then a quick shower, then down to the slots. It's not real crowded, I sit at the megabucks machine, give them $100, they give me a million! As I'm waiting for a check, I drop a few coins in the megabucks next to me (which has been reset), and Bam I win again. This is my spending money!

Now, I have a real meal (no buffet), shop (not at a convience store), get a massage (not just circling my head and shoulders), and finally see a real show (other than people watching)

I turn in around midnight, pull the curtains back, and watch the twinkling of the lights on the strip.

Next day, I buy that condo in Turnberry, and spend the rest of the week furnishing it, and send my fowarding address home. (maybe)

Any day is perfect in Vegas--here I come, July 10th!

[Podie1956]

I was wondering why no one had mentioned a "romantic interlude" and then you did! Actually, I was trying to phrase it properly, and believe me, your way is a lot classier than I would have said!

JIM J MI


I agree that is the perfect day. A bad day in Vegas is better than a great day at work.

[LV Maniac]

Hop out of bed and make a pot of coffee. Shower while coffee is brewing. Hang out, drink a few cups, read a little, finish getting ready for the day.

Check out the craps table first. Get the dice and have a monster roll, walking away a big winner, get a meal comp.

Decide its time for some vp. Keep in it several hours with small wins, then you guessed it, RF. Play a little more, cash out and head upstairs for a nap.

Play vp at the bar way into the night while hitting an unprecedented number of quads. Have a nightcap to end my perfect day. :cool:

[AnnPedi614]

The perfect day would start out waking up at Bellagio and opening the drapes to look out on the strip. The sun is just starting to rise and there isn't a car on LV BLVD. I would then turn towards the comfy bed where hubby is still sleeping and run over and jump on it!!! I have to wake him up after all!! At this point it is about 6 am.........He goes to get coffee, I fall back asleep (I am evil I know!), he comes back and we sit at the window watching the city wake up. Then it is off to the casino, we love gambling in the AM. Order a Sunsplash since I need my OJ then head to the cafe for Breakfast.......Order some yummy pancakes and some eggs....
After Breakfast a little more gambling, then we hit the road for an off strip casino for the rest of the morning. Around noon we would head back to Bellagio and hit the pool. What usually happens after a few cello fizzes, is I get bored with the pool and feel the need to visit with Diane at the Fontana Bar while playing some VP. A few cocktails and hubby joins me.....We play, or should I say, I play and he watches for a bit and then head back to the room to get ready for the night........After getting ready we would head over to Wynn so I could play VP in the sportsbook while watching my beloved Red Sox beat the heck out of the Yankees (the best day in Vegas would be if it were game 7 of the ALCS and the Sox won and headed towards the WS) and maybe hitting my first Royal.
Dinner would be at Il Mulino, then we would wander back to Bellagio to watch the fountians from the fontana lounge for an hour, then back to the casino to play a bit........We would then head back to the room, but not before stopping for Gelato on the way....the coconut is awesome!!!!! By this time it is midnight and we are both beat so we settle into our comfy bed and watch the lights twinkle on the strip while making plans for the following day and just snuggling without two dogs whining away to get on the bed!!!! That would be the perfect day, maybe it will happen for us next week!

[magicfish]

My perfect day starts at midnight (of course) at my favorite low stakes BJ table, where I have been playing since last night's show.

I quit a couple hours later (up a few dollars of course) and head over to Terrible's for a graveyard breakfast special.

I leave and head to my hotel for about 5 hours sleep.
I take my time getting up, and dressed, and head back to the casino. I play BJ for a few hours, and maybe head back to Terrible's for a Chinese lunch special, or to the Palms for the Garduno's fajita lunch, or head over to Table 34 for lunch, or maybe just keep playing through lunch.

After several hours play, I cash in just in time to meet friends at Firefly on Paradise for happy hour - Sangria and Tapas - yum!!

After good food, drink, and conversation, we say our goodbyes. I head to either another show, The Improv, a lounge with entertainment, OR back to the tables to play until the wee hours again.

The next morning, I do it all again!!! After about five days of this, I vary my routine with Big Elvis,a trip to the Hilton spa, a trip to Mount Charleston or Red Rock, or I drive to check out a new casino with friends.

Then I spend several other days doing the same things as on the first day. - wait - I just did that May 20-27th!!! :cool:

...and if I'm lucky I'll do it two more times this year, to keep up my 4 visits a year average.

[NoRisk]

Waking up. No headache. More money than I started with. Getting lucky (Anyway you want to take it).

[jo45an]

As long as I'm in Vegas, I'm happy no matter what we end
up doing! But, a truly perfect day would be one in which we
are NOT approached by any timeshare salespeople, OR, have
any porn shoved in our faces as we walk the Strip! See, I'm
really easy to please:D

Joan in PA.
Oh, winning would be nice, too!!!!!

[cindyinnj]

Here is my perfect day in Las Vegas. :cool:

Wake up without hangover and not tired.
Beautiful weather outside (72 & sunny, light breeze).
Feet don't hurt while walking the strip.
Winning a little something in each casino I play in.
No waiting in lines for breakfast or lunch.
Go shopping.
Dinner in my favorite restaurant (Michaels' at Barbary Coast).
Go see a show.
Gamble some more without losing a penny.
Consume mass quantities of alcohol without getting overly drunk.
Go back to room with hubby and raid the mini-bar and get cozy..;)

[Steve]

I was wondering why no one had mentioned a "romantic interlude" and then you did! Actually, I was trying to phrase it properly, and believe me, your way is a lot classier than I would have said!

Actually, I would like to START and FINISH the "perfect day" with a Romantic Interlude but being I will be turning 57 this Sunday it's getting harder and harder to do! :D (no pun intended :) )

Steve

[Sweetshel]

.....is a very long one. It begins when I get off the plane in Las Vegas and ends when I get back on to go home.

[Vegas Queen]

Everyday in Vegas is perfect....but hot, hot temperatures, winning at the slots and lots of shopping and sitting at the Barbary Coast listening to Big Elvis

[Tweeets]

[QUOTE=YJAJJ]


I agree that is the perfect day. A bad day in Vegas is better than a great day at work.


A bad day in Vegas is better than a good day anywhere. :)

[Nevada]

Leaving the East Coast in the winter and getting off plane in Vegas it can,t get any better:D

[Robbylou121]

I would walk off the plane and enter McCarran's Airport just in time to be the upteenth million visitor to Las Vegas and I get a free pull on every slot machine in Vegas...it might take a few months or years to do that..plus stay in a deluxe suite until all my pulls have been pulled.

But in the real world a nice walk in the early morning, when the sun is coming up and the peace and quiet can be really refreshing and then I'd play $20 in a Mega Bucks machine and hit the big jackpot.

I'll always wanted to be interviewed and say "It only cost me $20"..but then again I think that's a fantasy. :D T-2

[Lackqueen]

I will be turning 57 this Sunday

Steve

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

[wilber]

gamble, gamble, gamble. win, win, win

[TJDEWITTIOT]

Wake up in the most expensive Executive Suite at Wynn and suddenly remember that the night before I gave Steve Wynn a ride home as he was lost and roaming around in the desert because of his poor eyesight. He rewarded me by putting me in his will....Wait a minute. Was that Steve or Howard Hughes?

Actually everyday is a perfect day in Vegas for me. I LIVE HERE


My day starts out with a lively walk at 6:30 AM with some friends and neigbbors in our beautiful gated golf course community in the North West Valley. As we walk you can't help but notice the beautiful mountain vistas and the pink and purple morning skies. It is just an awesome sight of beauty. No cars, no fumes, just lovely landscaped yards with blooming deset landscapes. Total walk is 3 miles.

After a nice walk then its coffee on the balcony overlooking the mountains again.

Next a swim in the pool or in the hot tub. Then relax for an hour or so reading a good book.

Then home for a shower and get dressed to start my day, go to one of the local casinos like Santa Fe Station, Red Rock or Suncoast for lunch do some gambling. Get a quick bite to eat. Return home before hubby gets home from a round of golf.

Take a short nap, and either cook up a meal or go eat out and visit casino either on the Strip or a locals to catch a nice lounge act.

There are so many things to do here, lots with gambling and even more that doesn't necessarily include gambling.

We moved here 2 yrs ago from NJ and just love it.....

We go sightseeing at least once every other week to see all the things we have on our must see list...

Take a ride to see friends in San Diego area, visit the casino and buy lottery tickets in CA

We can't believe how lucky we are ....no snow, no humidity, always something to see or do....Most of all no stress

too blessed to be stressed...

Everyday is Saturday.

There are so many things I can think of to make a day in Vegas perfect but really there is nothing like the feeling of waking up early after a great nigts rest and having your first day in Vegas ahead of you. I love it!
I prefer October when the morning is cool and crisp as we walk from one casino to the next sipping coffee in the morning.
The last trip in January we were up and out of the room by 7:00 that first day and went to Cravings at Mirage. The breakfast is wonderful and the atmosphere is so relaxing when it's not crowded early in the morning (I think it was about 8:00 when we got there). I remember sitting there sipping coffee and listening to the music, looking around and thinking how perfect it was.

There seems to be two meanings to this question, the perfect real day, and the perfect fantasy day. I will start with the fantasy as it is much shorter. Winning the WSP main event. Now the reality. Wake up next to a beautiful, have breakfast in bed, and a romantic interlude. Then send her to the spa or shopping and off to play poker. At about 5:30 get a massage and then back to the room to meet up & change for dinner. Have dinner at Delmonico's then hit the casino to gamble for a few hours with my companion. Then back to the room for a "bed time snack" then off to sleep by about 4:00am

I'll stick with the perfect fantasy day: Wake up and head to the bar for poker and coffee. Draw a royal on five hand Joker poker! Head over to the slots...hit the progressive on Megabucks. Call to the room and tell the wife we are getting moved to a penthouse suite by the hotel. Can't improve on that too much. :p

My perfect real day in Vegas would be:


Breakfast at the Flamingo Paradise Garden buffet - sat near a window so I can watch the water and wildlife outside. This buffet may not offer the best food in Vegas but I: a) love the setting and b) the place puts me in touch with my late Dad (he kept Coi Carp and would have loved the ones in the Flamingo's pools).

Head over to The Gold Coast to play video poker. I just like the vibe in that place and I have been lucky there.

Back to The Strip to see Big Elvis at Barbary Coast.I am in awe of the big man - vocally he's the best Elvis in town.

Dinner at Circus Circus steakhouse - my favourite Vegas restaurant. Love the old school setting, the atmosphere, and the steak is superb.

Late night video poker in Downtown (Vegas Club / Golden Nugget). Glitter Gulch isnt to everyone's liking but I love gambling there late at night. Downtown also has a 24 hour Starbucks to feed my caffeine addiction and keep me awake. One of my most surreal Vegas experiencewas sat on the patio outside Starbucks, sipping latte, and craning my neck back so I could view the Fremont Street Experience. Weird.


Paradise.

My perfect ever day in Vegas was 23 March 2000 when I married my wonderful wife, Angela at The Candlelight Chapel.

My Perfect day would be sleeping in and waking up whenever. Ording room service for my wife and I. Head down to the casino and gamble for a pit playing blackjack wife playing nickel slots, her favoriate. Later go over the Caribe Café at the Mirage for lunch. Then take a walk through the shops at The Froum. Later take a dip in the pool. When night falls dinner at Nobhill or Picasso followed by some more gambeling till my wife and I are to tired to keep our eyes open. That's my perfect day.:D

My perfect Las Vegas day would start off sleeping a little later than usual. Take a shower, head down to the pool, and relax, swim, have a few drinks, a few smokes and just take it all in. Next, back up for a shower. Get dressed head over to New York, New York for a nice steak dinner at Gallagher's. Play some over there, head back to the Venetian for some serious play and some nice drinks!! A few cocktails and smokes later, plus some nice gaming, a few wins thrown in, head upstairs for a shower and go to bed. Do all this with my wife, her mom, sister and cousin! We always have a GREAT TIME!!!!!!!!

My perfect day in Vegas would begin as I wake up early with the love of my life in a lake view, comped suite on a high floor, at the Bellagio, with fresh coffee, orange juice, and a couple of freshly made and delivered Crispy Cream donuts. Next, a couple of hours at the pool by a quiet cabana with bright sun, a steady breeze, and several fruity (but strong) mixed drinks.

After the pool, a quick shower and into a fabulous but comfortable outfit, complete with stunning shoes and jewelry and off to Paris or the Carnival World Buffet at the Rio for the end of the breakfast buffet to get both breakfast and lunch. Next on the agenda, several winnings on multiple slot machines (including Megabucks!) and a record setting, winning run at the craps table. After stowing some of my winnings in the safe and verifying the deposit of my Megabucks winnings in my personal account, an afternoon comedy show is next. After the show, a peaceful nap -and other things with the love of my life :D - then up and dressed again to meet the limo for dinner at the Top of the World. After dinner, back to the room again to change into an even more fabulous outfit and off to Ra to dance off my rich and delicious dinner. Back to the limo and the Bellagio for more wins at JoB video poker, a few random slot machines that act like ATM machines, and a several winning hands of Crazy 4 Poker.

Back to the room for more pre-bedtime activities with the love of my life, then a greasy order of cheeseburgers and fries from room service with vanilla ice cream and white cake with lots of frosting for dessert :p . My perfect day will end as I drift off to sleep watching the lights of the city, dreaming of how I’m going to spend my millions.

Fantasy rather? I would land at the airport after being flown in on the Montecito's private jet by Samantha. For my wife, Danny and Mike are there for eye candy. Ed and I have some blue label in the limo on the way. Check in to my presidential suite. Freshen up, and off to Wolf Gang Puck's for some app's. Don't want to stuff myself. I hit the table's for a while, and come out down. My wife plays some slots and on her first twenty hits the wheel of fortune progessive. That would make her happy ... so I wouldn't want it any other way.

[HeyNow]
