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......

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???

I agree Dean... I want a good seat for Nadirah. We were up in the front corner for Jake last Friday and it was great!! I will join you and help save some seats. Do you think 8 is early enough??

Martyritaville wrote:Hey Grams, Friday, if all goes according to plan, we'll probably be hanging out early - did 8 pm work out pretty well for Jake's show? I'm guessing Nadirah's will be more crowded?

Jake's show started at 8:00PM I think... GBM & Kokomo went and got a table and snacked while Dez, Conched, Magnus & MM, and I went to LMS and got our free stuff. We then ran back for the concert and dinner only to return to LMS after the show. Great times all around!! Anyway they got there 2 hours early and we had great seats.. saying that this is Nadirah and I think it will be more crowded... I also agree with Dean, I think most of us need to be there if we want a table together or at least close together.

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.

I'm game for whatever people want to do....I know a lot of people aren't getiing in town until Friday though and want to give them time to arrive. Unfortunately, Margaritaville usually won't seat parties until the whole group is there so saving a large number of seats will probably not be allowed. Also, I'm not sure that we'll be able to get any larger table space than 10 people or so as we'll just have to grab whats available as tables turn. Anyone else up for joining Grams and I? What time could the rest of you get there?

I am not 100% on the process, though I do know that you need to get a 'form/card' from Margaritaville. Not sure if it is the restaurant or shop. With this card you go to the Players Club to sign up.
Joeybagadonuts' girl "Jo" got the players card with Margaritaville AND a t-shirt.

Good luck!!!

The concert was awesome on 10/20
