I loved your website! I think you did a great job of covering the much needed basics for the first time visitor. I love Vegas and usually go out couple of times a year. I learned a couple of things on your site I didn’t know. Very interesting about needing a SS card to get the full winnings at the time. I had always wondered about that. And being a traditionalist, I hate the all the coin slot machines will be gone. I don’t play slots much, but when I do I like to feel the coins and to pull the levers. Once they go all non-coin, I won’t play at all.
Since I go so often, people usually ask for my advice. Here are a couple of things you might include on your new site if you feel like it.
Where are the hottest waitresses with the best outfits? Being female, I must admit I really don’t notice this from casino to casino, but my male friends do, and that is what they want to know about.
What places are more smoke friendly? ( I am in Kentucky, so this might be more of a regional question, but I am often asked about that.) Or perhaps the opposite, what hotel/casinos have gone completely smoke-free?
What poker rooms have friendly dealers that don’t mind experienced online players, but new to live play? I like to play and have noticed some places are much more enjoyable than others. Do any of the poker rooms let you smoke? All the ones I have seen were non-smoking, but I would think somewhere in town there were smoking ones.
What are the current must see shows? I can’t keep track of who is where, but it seems that there are some shows that most everyone just loves. One thing I recommend is finding one of the comedian/hypnotist shows. I have been to several, and never laughed so much. To me that is a unique, but not too expensive show to see.
And one thing I didn’t see on your current site ( maybe I just missed it) was talk about player cards and comps. What I like to do is pick which hotel I want to stay in the next time, and get a player card there. I will use it for a couple of hundred dollars worth of gambling, and then can expect some nice offers in the mail to use my next time out. I compare with friends, and the offers vary quite a bit. I know some depends on how much you gamble, and also how busy the particular hotel is, but I find the savings they offer worth the trouble to use the player card. I would love to know if there was some certain dollar amount to qualify for the better deals.
And just for the record, I think my favorite place to stay is the Luxor. I like that it is in the middle of two hotels that are connected by an indoor walkway, and I really like the strange elevator. I always ask for a high floor facing the airport, and love being able to see the planes come in. Since the room is not square, but has one slanting glass wall, everytime I walk in I know I am somewhere special. And I love being able to open the huge curtains in the morning ( or afternoon, depending on what I did the night before) and have the room flood with sunshine.
Oh, and I guess I didn’t really answer the OP. What I love about Vegas is I can go there by myself and feel very safe. I compete in horseracing handicapping contests around the country and find Vegas is one of the few cities that no one gives a second thought to a woman traveling by herself. That may seem strange, it being known as Sin City and all, but I can eat in a restaurant by myself, and no one stares like they do in middle America cities. There are tons of security people around, and the hotels I stay in usually have a security guard checking that only hotel guests can go up to the rooms. So instead of having to be extra cautious because I am travelling alone, I can be just regular common sense cautious, and that makes my time there more enjoyable.
Good luck on the new website. I will be sure to check it out and pass it on to others that have questions.
