My Profile | Fave 10 | ShoutOuts | Posse | Favorites

Cut my gambling teeth flipping baseball cards, playing Contract Rummy and Poker with my parents then to the big league gambling at Ballys, Resorts and the Golden Nugget Atlantic City, Yonkers Raceway (trottahs!). Headed out west in the early 1990s and hit Vegas for the first time on the drive through. Hit the 4.99$ twin lobster tails at the Sands, blackjack at Desert Inn, Dunes, Mirage and a shit load of craps at Casino Royale. LV Hilton, IP, Flamingo, Binions, Golden Nugget, Mandalay Bay... still haven't hit them all, but will... because I LOVE LAS VEGAS. Give the Chuckmonster a shout out!

Vegas Fave 10 (The Hard Way)

1: Sneaking into Aria to take photos and not getting caught FTW!
2: Bet Miss Monkay $50 bucks she couldn't finish a megadog and won!
3: I'm gonna be buried in a gold casket with neon piping inside of it
4: In case you didn't hear a million times, I went to Macau!
5: I suck at poker
6: 2nd Favorite Past Time: Warp Core Breach at Quark's Bar
7: The smell of The Plaza - I like it!
8: I always seem to be in town when NASCAR or the Rodeo is. Weird.
9: Dry humping porn slappers on the strip. Scares the shit outta them.
10: Driving into town on Old Highway 91

They blocked VegasTripping at work! How am I supposed to get my Tripping fix when they block the site??? Well, Boozehouse and I had to go and buy mini netbooks so we can hook into the public wireless and get our Vegas on... :)

I'd love to, Charles. Why don't you join Andre Agassi and me this weekend at the Wilshire Country Club?

Shouted on Monday, 5th January 2009 by KirkKerkorian

Thanks Chuckmonster, not real familiar with the whole site yet, and with working in a casino for 10 years (not in Vegas tho, dammit-lol) I've never even thought about looking at the games section. I hope you don't mind me giving my input from that side of table

Thanks for the shout-out! Pssst.....how many people know about the Super Secretive Scorpio Club? Shhhhh.... ;)

Shouted on Wednesday, 1st October 2008 by Vegasgrl1067

RE your Fave 10: #1 - the Wynn is on our list to check out 12/08. #2 I'm betting BHBH that I can finish a fried Twinkie on our next trip. #3 If I'm invited, I'll throw beads from the Rio. #4 Lucky SOB. #5 I love it online, but haven't had the guts in person. #6 We've got the recipe at home, along with the fish bowls and dry ice. *Warning* - consumption of an entire fish bowl of a Warp Core Breach can render one in the prone position on the bathroom floor, unaware that their unsympathetic husband is squirting them in the ass with a phaser pistol watergun. #7 The smell of Quark's - I loved it! #8 I bet you thank God for dental care during those times. #9 I'd love to a) see that in person and b) have pictures of it to savor the memories. #10 I've yet to drive into town, but I always strain my neck trying to see the strip from end to end as my plane lands. :)

Yo chuck, donnymac and I are in Vegas late July (23-31 for me, 26-30 for donny). You and the miss should see if you can swing a trip.

Alright so, last Saturday (May 3rd), sitting at my table at the BITE show and who comes to sit at the table with us? Vinnie Paul. I thought it was a damn impersonator at first until I saw the rest of the entourage sit down with him and wouldn't luck know it, I left my camera in the room to charge becuase I didn't think I'd need it for the first night in Vegas (especially since we were only going to see BITE). He was very quiet but after the show he said I was cute because I made him laugh. (I was making fun of the show the whole time but I caught him laughing a couple times.)

Shouted on Monday, 12th May 2008 by RockChickX51

Lamb of God is the absolute shit. They're one of those bands you can see live over and over and never get tired of them. 5 days till Vegas...being drunk for a week is the absolute best thing ever.

Hey chuck, do you use twitter? It's a pretty cool tool to keep up with folks and let people know what you're up to. I follow Tim & Michelle, Hunter and some other folks. It's like a mini blog inside a blog

Back in the States and on the east coast this time. Going to head to Atlantic City soon. Charles, you never cease to amaze with your work on these sites.

I hope someday to rule Vegas. As for right now I will settle for the title of Prince of O'Sheas or the Duke of Casino Royale. Chuck if you are headed to Vegas at the end of March let me or Spyder know and we can hook up for a midget (or is it little person) shot at O'Sheas. PS Thanks to your emcee job of the Trippies I got a shout out from Michele and Tim at Five Hundy. On second thought maybe I do rule Vegas.

Fave Joints

M Resort

Beautiful building, fantastic service, friendly staff, great rooms, excellent food. Now if only it weren't a 20 minute drive from the Strip. Love M.

Mandarin Oriental

I've been in the rooms but have yet to test drive the bed... a truly gorgeous hotel.

Wynn Las Vegas

Even at five years old, you still look so cute. And have the best mix of playable slots in Vegas. And a great gift shop. And amaaaazing dining. Heart you.

ARIA

A gorgeous modern interpretation of the casino resort. Fun times can be had, but sometimes the service level and questionable technology can be a big thorn. Love the craps pit, hate the slot mix, love Serrano and JPP. The rest didn't give me a happy wedgie.

Encore Suites at Wynn Las Vegas

Even at five years old, you still look so cute. And have the best mix of playable slots in Vegas. And a great gift shop. And amaaaazing dining. Heart you.

Tropicana

What's not to love? Maybe when they're done it will work its way up to a five!

Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas

Now this joint hasn't opened yet, so maybe it is premature to add it to a faves list, but I've got to say that I'm pretty excited about this joint to open. The folks behind the scenes seem to have a great grasp of what will make Cosmo stand out from the crowd... great dining, creative spaces, luxurious rooms and a killer parking garage.

O'Shea's

Need a place to stay overnight? Try the craps tables at O'Shea's! There's no hotel, but who the fuck cares. Seriously tho - O'Shea's seems to have lost a lot of its charm to me, perhaps because I'm too old to play beer pong. Counting the months till this fave gets imploded.
