GO TO THE FLAMINGO AND GET YOUR LIMITED EDITION MARGARITAVILLE CASINO CHIPS. THEY COME IN $5 and $25 Denom. I'm not sure what is left there. The cashier looked at us as if she were afraid she was nearly out of them. I'll keep hope for you all!

Vic and Anthonys Steakhouse at the Golden Nuggett has amazing food but so-so service. We spent alot and tipped well but were treated throughout dinner that we were younger and not going to conduct ourselves

I felt my time on Fremont St. could have been better spent elsewhere. I just wasn't impressed.

Avoid The Duece bus. Its crap even at $2. You can walk up and down the strip most anywhere faster. Use the Monorail if its an option. If you are south Monorail to the Sahara and catch a cab downtown. The Deuce was a nightmare.

The Red Bull Margaritas are fantastic!

Enjoy yourselves and if you are near the main floor and the arena staff appear "elderly" help yourself to the main floor to dance.

When the show is over help yourself to the banners/advertising hanging around the place. No one had a single problem with Parrotheads taking the stuff. Even going the high road and asking to have it I was permitted. Most just tore stuff down. I have a Tequila Banner and Tequila flags.

Hooters service in their restaurants at the hotel was awful. 1hr wait for wings!? c'mon. Marino's was OK but my ribs were luke warm/cold.

If this is what your into - The services offered on "the cards" are negotiable. I did not partake but called as a dare and was able to talk down 3 "agencies".

Most of all have a great f'n time. This past Saturday night was cold in Vegas and made the Post partying tough.

True enough....but as my faultering memory serves...I believe the "tough" partied on....... Somewhere out there, there is photographic evidence......

We may stop in to Trader Vics for a drink on our way from MVille to the MGM. The wife and I will look for your group and maybe add a couple more folks from Colorado to your party.

By the way still chilly here so pack some warm PJ's...... otherwise the cold may kill your party a wee bit early.

I will be found at the hooters after party in flannel jammies.

It’s fun to plan to meet up, but it would be more fun to have a single way to identify BN’ers no matter where we are. I imagine no matter what bar, restaurant, casino or show you are at, there will be at least a few other parrotheads also there.

Alas, I think its best to just hit Margaritaville for dinner and stay for the show to insure best seating. I've been wanting to hit Dick's Last Resort since they first opened and haven't made it yet.....however, I really want to insure a prime seat to see Nadirah plan to show up around 8pm....anyone else want to show up than and share a table???
