Recession? What recession? The strip was PACKED!
Lodging: 3 nights in a wrap-around terrace suite at the Cosmopoliton.
Nice! Great view of the Bellagio fountains, the strip and the pool below.
The room was spectacular! Seems they are drawing a lot of business
meetings and conventions to this hotel and that's keeping them busy. The
average age of the guest at this hotel (from my observation in the casino)
is probably 25. We were the old gambling folks, not into the nightclub
scene. They are drawing a younger "hipper" crowd then most other places.
I hope it can keep them afloat. The craps tables were $25 minimum at night
and $15 during the day. Where's the $2 table when you need it??
Dining: First night was a Gary recommendation - Bradley Ogden at Caesars.
It was one of the best experiences of the trip. Thank you Gary! We did the
prix-fixe menu and started with the Maytag blue cheese souffle and the
Caesar salad. The souffles were small but mighty in taste. My wife had the
pan seared Halibut and I had the Duroc Pork Loin. Each was accompanied by
great and "tasty" sides. I say tasty because portions are not necess
huge, but the flavors and mixtures of ingredients was great. Our waiter
was very attentive and his helper was the same. Desserts were chocolate
pudding and the banana fosters cake. Their theme is "from the farm to the
table" and they try to buy local produce as much as possible. They didn't
rush us and it was a terrific dining experience. I'd definitely come back
here. Total bill for the meals + 3 glasses of wine was $196 + tip.
At the Cosmopolitan, we had lunch at Holsteins (various burgers and beers)
and breakfast at The Henry. Both were good meals and CROWDED. One of my
complaints about the Cosmo is that one night about 10PM we tried to get
something to eat at two different restaurants...were seated...15 minutes
passed and no one ever asked for drink or food order. The help is very
sparse in their ability to handle PEOPLE. We got up and left in each
restaurant. Finally I went to a slot machine and just drank wine and
played slots (bad idea...drunkeness set in an hour later).
We also had a dinner one night at the Paris Steakhouse. They have never
disappointed me and they didn't this time. I always get a waiter named
"Frank" and he's terrific. We each had their special of an 8oz filet
served with green beans, mashed potatoes and a wine reduction sauce with
mushrooms. Everything was excellent! Meal + 3 glasses of wine was $186
plus tip.
Entertainment: We saw The Jersey Boys at the Palazzo. Nuff said. This was
another high point of the trip. We were sitting towards the back of the
ground level ($116 per ticket) but this is the type of theater where every
seat has a great view. I can see why this show is so popular. They did
Frankie Valli justice!
We rented a car for two days and the first day drove to off-strip places
we like - The M, GVR and Red Rock. Each is terrific in it's own way, but
the M is still one of my favorites. Casinos were fairly busy for a
Thursday, but I'm figuring it was locals mainly.
One day we drove to Mesquite. We visited the Del Webb Sun City and went
thru the model homes. This place is cheap living with beautiful views. The
housing bubble burst has hurt them some, but they're coming back. Mesquite
is a nice place. We ate lunch at Los Lupes (typical tex-Mex food) and
played some slots at the Casablanca. This place seemd like your typical
"old" casino with some new slots. Somewhere in between the Sahara and the
Rio. It's an easy drive from Vegas to Mesquite...about 75 munites at 85
MPH.
The last day I was deathly ill, in pain but managed to come home and go
straight to the emergency room. At 1AM the prognosis was TOO MUCH WINE had
irritated a possible ulcer. Oh well...live and learn. Our next trip to
Vegas will entale going to ONE PLACE and staying put. It'll either be The
M or Caesars. Both offer plenty of restaurant choices, amenities and
slots galore.

As it turns out, I was in the conference center at the Cosmopolitan
yesterday. I liked what I saw when I arrived about 9:30, but when I was
leaving, about six hours later, the place was full of twenty-somethings who
were shouting "whoop-whoop" or some such at relatively frequent intervals. I
also noticed a bride and groom having their photos taken. I'd planned on
exploring a bit, but wound up taking a quick lap around the second floor and
leaving. Good thing they'd supplied us with a box lunch.
As for M, I was there Monday. I'd been given a facial in their spa, a lovely
experience. I was even in South Point last week on Thursday. In all cases, I
did what I was there for, and didn't pay a whole lot of attention to the
action in the casinos.

A few other notes / observations:
Gambling: We lost.
Atmosphere: As I said before, the Cosmopolitan is a younger, hip crowd.
It's definitely one of the most beautiful casino hotels in Vegas and the
newness hasn't worn off. An interesting note - our limo driver said he had
just taken two guys back to the airport from the Cosmopolitan...one lost
$1M and the other lost $600K. That's some serious losing there. I think
some of the "crowdedness" of the Cosmo is due to the "smallness" of the
casino. It's not a humongous place like Caesar's. Again, I give high marks
for the food in the restaurants, but service at those places was lacking.
Per the limo driver, due to the current economic sitiuation, casinos are
really trying to get people to Vegas via comps and bennies that they
wouldn't normally cater to in great financial times. He said some people,
in his opinion, are getting comp'd nights that shouldn't be. That's HIS
opinion only. Whatever Vegas is doing seems to be working! MGM stock is
slowly coming back. The Bellagio was packed every time we went thru it -
day and night.
People: It seemed to me there a lot of "visitors from outside the US. A
lot of conversations in various languages. New money coming in.
Red Rocks has a good line-up of restaurants and they, along with GVR, seem
to get some good concerts / entertainment in town. I believe Foreigner was
at one of them last year.
illness update: possibly "Diverticulitis", which makes sense since I ate
some strawberries the night before.
Next months gambling & eating trip: NEW ORLEANS (one of my favorite places
to visit)

A couple questions if you please.
How is the access to the casino from the strip sidewalk?
I know it sucks for Aria.
Was there much action at the craps tables?
How many tables, and what were the table limits?
Slots: did you check out the high limit slots, and what ones were in
there?
*I'm fond of Double Diamond and Double 3X4X5X Pay*
Thanks for the TR.

Mr. V -
Yes..It does suck for Aria. They're a little too far from the strip to
access it directly, but they do have a beautiful casino. It's not a bad
walk from Aria to the Crystal shopping area then over to the Cosmo bridge.
We rented our car from the Dollar Rent-A-Car in the Aria. Regarding cars,
one neat thing was the self-parking at the Cosmopolitan. Each space has a
red and green light. When you pull into the garage, there's a sign with
how many available spaces on EACH level. Plus, the green lights are where
available spaces are. That was a HUGE PLUS for the Cosmo.
Cosmo has decent access to the strip. They connect to a walk-over that
goes near PH and on the right side is the Bellagio, so they're in a decent
spot.
One note is that the "porn slappers" were out in force at night. To the
point they were verging on obnoxious. The crossover bridges did have their
supply of homeless with dogs, musicians (guitar and accordian players) and
just people saying GIVE ME SOME MONEY.
The craps tables were 90% full at night. I remember seeing two craps table
and I only glanced at the minimums, not the Max. I just remember $15 & $25
and the tables had players. There may have been three tables because I
also remember one table with no denomination showing and only 1
player...probably a reserved table.
I looked in the high limit area one night and it was empty. I didn't see
the slots you mentioned (although I like those) but on the outer edge of
the high limit area were newer video type with the casecading reels. The
casinos seem to be moving toward the new "penny" video slots where
although it's a "penny slot" you're still playing upwards of $5 for max
bet. My wife and I love to play one called "Two For the Money" because we
sit together and play two games at once ($2.50 per spin). We saw one at
Palazzo and one at the MGM. We won $200 before the show at Palazzo (and
promptly gave it back after the show), but we always have fun. The saying
is very true - DON'T GAMBLE WHAT YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE.

My wife and I went for 3 nights this past week. Here's a synopsis:
Recession? What recession? The strip was PACKED!
Lodging: 3 nights in a wrap-around terrace suite at the Cosmopoliton.
Nice! Great view of the Bellagio fountains, the strip and the pool below.
The room was spectacular! Seems they are drawing a lot of business
meetings and conventions to this hotel and that's keeping them busy. The
average age of the guest at this hotel (from my observation in the casino)
is probably 25. We were the old gambling folks, not into the nightclub
scene. They are drawing a younger "hipper" crowd then most other places.
Thanks for the effort. Nice to see some normalcy here, and hope that
like Vegas, this place will someday come back to what it should be. A place
to talk about Las Vegas. As far as the crowd, I used to think the same, but
now realize that it's me getting old, and not the crowd getting younger! LOL

A couple questions if you please.
How is the access to the casino from the strip sidewalk?
There's one in the middle of the casino straight in from the sidewalk.
And another at the North end. The South end is via sky bridge. It's
navigating to them wile you're inside, that can be a little tricky.
And it might only seem that way to me, because that's the only casino
I haven't been in a bazillion times... so far.

Not a "cheapo" report, but a good read nevertheless. I saw that the Donnie &
Marie Show is almost $200 a ticket. Worth it? I was going to go, but now I
doubt it.
