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

I think it may be the hangover, but I got confused trying to log into the site. I really like the VIP Check in, but you confused me again, you web guru........

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

Reading your faves, we might be twins! Good Luck on your trip, but leave a couple bucks for me (headed there 11-14).

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

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. :)

Chuck, I like where you're head's at. Hitting town 8/8/8, would love to grab a drink and a few hands of 3 card if you're going to be around. War old Vegas!

Shouted on Wednesday, 9th July 2008 by caesar1st

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.

Shouted on Sunday, 27th April 2008 by RockChickX51

Love your reviews. I definitely owe you a Warp Core Breach if we ever cross paths!

I recall voting for the trippies the last 3 years. I also seem to run into the rodeo folk everytime I go to vegas in October.

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

Shouted on Wednesday, 30th January 2008 by justJoey

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.

Shouted on Friday, 25th January 2008 by kennethco

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

Wynn Las Vegas

Is there any better place in all of Vegas? Before the arrival of ARIA and CityCenter's Mandarin Oriental, I would've said "hell no." Now, I'm not so sure.

ARIA

A gorgeous modern interpretation of the casino resort. If you can't have fun here, you need to see a therapist.

Encore Suites at Wynn Las Vegas

Has ARIA trumped Encore? *Gulp* The magic difference: Encore's room designs are impeccable.

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.

TI (Treasure Island)

After three years of identity crisis, the new TI seems to be slowly finding its groove. New rooms, new bars, new slot machines, removed 6:5 blackjack... things are looking up.

Golden Nugget

The best joint downtown. Can't swing the skyrocketing prices on the strip? Get a better room at a swankier joint - The Golden Nugget. It's a Steve Wynn Joint! (or at least it was)

Bellagio

Previously, Bellagio was one of the most beautiful hotels on the planet... but time marched onwards and Bellagio went boating.

Flamingo

If you are a medium roller and want to stay on the Strip - the Flamingo really cannot be beat. Tons of new restaurants, perfect location, bigger rooms than Harrah's, the Go Rooms and all that mob mystique. Too bad the slots are tighter than a strippers g-string.

Imperial Palace

Stinky, musty, funky. Mostly good qualities in my book, but the key to the IP is the value. Great prices on huge yet kinda trashy rooms. Luv Tub = Awesome

Silverton

The beauty of Silverton Casino Lodge is it's low key comfort and friendliness. It's no wonder that folks who like Silverton REALLY like it. Worth checking out if you haven't been.

Golden Gate

Golden Gate is an incredibly intimate, unbelievably charming and downright friendly joint to hang out in. I haven't sampled the rooms yet, but the staff - dealers, cage, security, diner and snack bar - are awesome. Golden Gate is a breath of fresh, yet 100 year old, air in the age of monolithic casino hugeness.

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. Not so hot on the way O'Shea's has changed since Harrah's took over. Seems to have lost a lot of its charm. Slowly falling off my list of favorites.

Binions Hotel & Gambling Hall

You can't judge a dirty bottle of wine by its dirt. The days of languishing under absentee or clueless owners is over. Give the big B a shot.

Tropicana

What's not to love?

Venetian

The Venetian is an overpriced hoo-ha of a hotel with gold plated styrofoam decor, stodgy rooms and three star service. How this place got a five diamond award baffles me.

Fontainebleau

My original thought: This is probably my favorite of the new resorts. Something about it makes me really really excited... I can't wait until its open! My current thought: get out the shot gun Tex.
