Ok, I get it now. DC, the Saraha is way down on the strip (north strip) past the Stratosphere. That's why we haven't heard of it. I stayed at the Saraha before and it's old but not bad. However, it's too far down the strip and away from all the bigger/better casinos. It's a long walk from the Saraha to even the Imperial Palace, let alone Cesar's and such.

Not one of the better areas of Las Vegas right now, although I believe that they are trying to develop that whole area by buiding hi-rise condos there.

TIS, did you go to their HOME PAGE?

HERE : RON DECAR'S Las Vegas Hotel

WTF?

Yea, I did DC. That's why I put in my original post that it doesn't exist anymore. It was a neat idea. I'm guessing the bad location and most likely poor advertising was a minus. I am surprised though that I had never heard of it, as much as I've visited Vegas. I'm just not in the know.

TIS

You did post that it didn't exist anymore. Sorry.

I never heard of it either. But then again, Vegas has grown so much over the years that it's almost impossible to know what exists in every nook and cranny.

It's like that Rat Pack show I went to see the last time I was there. It was fantastic, but the hotel (if you could call it a hotel) was off the strip on one of those side Blvds. and looked as though it was left over from the 40's. Not a place that I would stay in. But what was good about it was that the room where the Rat Pack show was performed was one of the old style showrooms with the long tables and the different level tiers which gave the show that throwback authentic nostalgic feel.

But don't be fooled by the pictures on their website because the GREEK ISLES hotel looks nothing like it is made to look on it's website!

The Rat Pack is one show I've wanted to see. Hopefully I will at some point. Usually these shows continue for a very long time.

Yea, I know websites can be deceiving on some of these hotels.
I have to say though, after staying at the Bellagio, it's just like the website. Absolutely beautiful.


TIS

Well the Bellagio is the Bellagio. They and hotels like that don't need to decieve anyone!

So its better than all the other rub joints in Vegas?

Well at least they "rub" you with class!

Count me in

Where would you rather get rubbed?

Here (Bellagio spa)



or here

What about here?

I am so afraid to click that link.

I'm pretty sure that WOULD have been my bed if Mr. Babe didn't give me the room key back lol

I like the idea of staying in a gangster theme room.

I have never stayed at the Flamingo, but I wonder if they have any gangster themed rooms???


TIS

TIS -


I think that MIG was talking about that Hotel with the theme rooms that you found which closed down.


I doubt that the Flamingo has any gangster themed rooms.

DC is da man.

Hi DC,

I know she was, and I only mentioned the Flamingo becuase of Bugsy Seigel. I didn't know if perhaps they had a couple rooms in the gangster theme. Just talking off the top of my pointed little head.

TIS

Just want to check about the approximate month. Are we going with August and/or summer months for the next meet?

I am going to go to Michigan within the next year and want to space my travel time so I don't have one trip right after another (especially if this meet is not Vegas but someone back East and I can go). No pressure!! Basically will it be in or around the summer months? Anyone want to commit to that much?

Thanks

TIS

I had a dream about this last night. Why would I dream about the BB Weekend? In my dream everbody was there having a great time. Just don't know where we had it at.

In a yellow submarine

Please try to remember where it was, Miggy -- it'll make things easier!

Did they allow smoking in the dream?

Was there a Shula's in the dream??

Did someone have 20+ drinks in the dream?

Right on time SC.

20+ vodka tonics

What is this Shula's?? I've never heard of it!

SB, your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to get a map of the US and scratch off every major city that does NOT have a Shula's, so we'll know where we are NOT going. You know, the process of elimination.
