    The people working the MGM one are the coolest always actually. We've actually stood there and talked with the guy/girl whoever it is for hours before. I don't think they get much company since people usually just get the drink and head to the casino or tram from there. Fuck me I want to be in Vegas right now. :fp: :lol:

    Yes, definitely!!! The people in the Planet Hollywood one tend to be curmudgeons. I'll be in Vegas in just a smidge over a month ;):clap::clap::clap:


    I've never been in Planet Hollywood before. I've never been in Hooters or The Hard Rock either. I don't think. :think:

    Were you in PH when it was Aladdin? I kinda miss that one. Hooters isn't all that great, but Marino's restaurant inside is pretty choice. Hard Rock makes me angry because it's filled with Sawyer douchelords :fp:

    Walked through when it was the Aladdin. When I go I tend to go to the MGM, Imperial Palace, Sahara (fucking closed rat fucks), The Mirage, and The Bellagio. Oh, and the entrance of the walkway from NYNY to the Excalibur so I can negotiate and haggle with the hookers. :mrgreen:

    DUDE!! I was so pissed when they closed Sahara. Ratfucks indeed. I miss Westward Ho too, that was always an interesting little shithole :lol: I forgot about the one at the entrance of that walkway...good call!

    There's really not a part of the strip I don't know except for the new place next to the Bellagio that I can't remember the name...the whole big conglomerate of place...cosmo, etc. cant think of it. Not sure if thats a good thing or bad thing. :? Now that I'm single again I need to start working on downtown. The women are easier and don't expect as much down there! :lol:

    I think it's just called CityCenter, isn't it? I walked through Cosmo the last time I was there, haven't been in Aria yet...it's too glitzy for my liking to be honest. Downtown is where it's at!! Just expect women without teeth. :lol:

    The Westward Ho was great!!!! 99 cent bottles of beer....can't beat that. We went on a family trip to Vegas right after I turned 21 and they were serving my 17 year old brother at westward ho no questions asked. WE got so shitfaced! And now O'Sheas is closed too.....so sad that there are no more places like that to hang out and have a few cheap beers.

    9 days....tick tock, tick tock....

    YES!! And they had the 99 cent margs too, but those were definitely questionable...like fire going down your throat :lol: I still can't believe O'Sheas is gone, that was definitely the best place on the strip. I'm almost more interested to stay on Fremont to be honest...they're more appreciative of drunken idiots like me :lol:

    9 days...we want a full report! :lol::lol:

    O'Sheas leaving blows. I've read in a few places that most of the idiots that hung out there have moved to the Excalibur.

    Yeah, the O'Sheas thing is definitely a bummer. That was always to go-to place to hang out during the day....cheap beers and $5 blackjack. AND they had a burger king! We were talking about heading downtown one day when we are out there...we'll see what happens. Will definitely come back with a full report....it's safe here since my fiance doesn't post on the PJ boards!

    Don't forget the $1 craps...shit I'm gonna miss that place! I wanna say that the El Cortez on Fremont has $5 blackjack and craps...it's a COMPLETE shithole but for those minimums who cares. Hahaha it's your bachelor party, do us proud :lol:
