Recession in Las Vegas? I think not!
Soo many people, lots of people gambling, but I noticed lots at the 1, 5 and 25 cents slots, not so much at the $1, and certainly very few at the $5, $10 and $25 slots. PLENTY at the $10 and $25 craps and Blackjack tables. Not very many people even looking in Hermes, Tiffany, Dolce & Gabana, Rolex, etc. Plenty of people at the Bellagio buffet, which Tabs introduced me to. It is far superior to the Planet Hollywood and the MGM Grand buffets. $38 for dinner versus $28 at the others, but worth every penny more. Tabbie pointed out that if you get there at like 4:30 you can get the Dinner buffet at the lunch price of about $21, a $17 savings.
Bought the wifey a Coach purse ($265; her jaw dropped when she looked at it and I said "Do you like it" and she said "Yes" and I said "She'll take it", the "Eff" factor later, was well worth it!) and me a set of Sony noise reducing headphones for when I fly ($100) I compared them to the Bose and they seem to my ear as good or better for about 1/4 the price. Saw them on line for the same price plus S&H, mine was cash and carry. I'm in LV until thursday afternoon attending a conference. If you'r in town and want to get together, let me know. Tabbie, Jordie? Anyone?
