Our usual Vegas trip is in October. However, as some of you may recall from last October

Cathy, what a fun report to read. I can tell you had a great time. Don't let anyone tell you what you like and don't like. One of the great things about this bb is everyone has their own opinions and experiences. We share them, but you decide what you like. And it sounds like the BC is right up your alley. If you like playing there you might as well stay there and take advantage of the comps. I hope you had a slot card when you played the dueces and took advantage of freebies you can earn.

I agree with you about the Victorian Room. Lee told us about it a few years ago. Before Caesars started comping our meals, my wife and I would walk to the Victorian Room for breakfast. The same breakfast at Caesars was $4 more, so we saved the $8 for vp play<G>
And the BC has Drais and Michaels, two of Las Vegas's great restaurants.
The BC should be pretty good with comps. You'll have to let us know how your next trip goes and see if they treat you well.
Glad you enjoyed the Pasta Pirate. It is one of those hidden secrets in the way of dining.
And you sound like my kind of people. Anyone who takes a limo to MSS for Blackchip porter is doing things right<G>
Congrats on the renewal of your vows. My 25th is next year and we might do the renewal of vows in Las Vegas, but I don't think my wife would go for ElvisG>
It sounds like you had a blast and you ate some great meals. Las Vegas is not the place to go if you are on a diet.
Thanks for posting your report.

Cathy:

What a great trip report. Sounds like you and your group had so much fun. I haven't been in the Barbary Coast for a long time, and actually don't remember much about it...but after your report, I have to check it out again. Sounds like you had some good food. Food....my weakness....well one of them!! (g) I have to tell my husband about renewing your vows and Elvis. We got married 20 years ago in Vegas, which was my first trip. Ever since, he has said we should have been married by an Elvis. We chose a church chapel. Anyway....thanks for the report, I really enjoyed it.

Cathy,

Thanks for the trip report. Beth and I like to play deuces wild at the BC. It is the only place we have any luck on the strip. We also have some luck at Sam's Town and the Orleans. We have seen the rooms at the BC and think they are very nice. I am still trying to talk Beth into staying there on our next trip. As John said, to each his own. We have tried six or seven places to stay and haven't been disappointed yet. If the beds are comfortable and the place is clean, that's all we ask.

Congratulations on the tenth anniversary. LV seems like the place to renew those vows. Will you renew them at the same place on your 20th? Have you started planning your next trip?

Really enjoyed your trip report, especially all the info about Barbary Coast. Sounds like you had a great trip.

Cathy,

Thanks for the great report. Glad you enjoyed Pasta Pirate. I ususally get there every trip. I keep meaning to try the buffet at Paris, I'll be sure to do it now.

Congrats on the vow renewal.

Glad everyone enjoyed the trip report. I want to go back already!!!

Someone sent a private email and I accidentally deleted it before I read it (duh). Whoever it was, sorry and can you please email me again?

Thanks!

Cathy,
Thanks so much for sharing your trip with us!
We always stop in at the barbary Coast for the triple play machines. The entertainment at night isn't bad there either (both on stage and strolling around the casino...LOL) We are people watchers and the BC rocks in that department! I also like the restrooms always clean & neat.
Those little cakes in the morning are hard to resist! But did you try the skillet breakfast special? It's one of my favorites! My only complait about the place it the main bar. I like the one in the back, it's smaller and sort of cozy in the late evening hours.
Pasta Pirate is a gem, isn't it? If you keep going back, you'll end up with a favorite server too. In any case, it sounds like you ate well and kept those feet moving too. Black Chip porter at MSS, is just plainly the best micro brew, I've ever tasted, and trust me, I drink a lot of beer! <VBG>
Again, thanks for the wonderful report.
SOoooo.....When is the next trip....that guy you remarried isn't going to make you wait another year to go to LV again is he? If so, I understand the divorce laws are pretty good in LV too! LOL

Lee, thanks for the kind words. You are not kidding about the people watching at the Barbary Coast - one of our cab drivers told us it is mostly people who hang out at Drai's. Even the bartenders were laughing at some of the sights!

Did not try that skillet breakfast, though it sounded great. Next time - which, if I get my way, will be in October! (Mike has a new job so it will depend on whether he can get the time off.)

test test. I'm having trouble getting messages on the BB so this is a test. TC

Hi Cathy,
I'm the one that sent the e-mail because I was having trouble getting onto the BB. Now I'm back.

I enjoyed your trip report very much. We will be in Las vegas in mid-june and we are staying at the BC. Its a great location and since there will be some elderly folks with us I think the small hotel with easy access to the casino will be convenient.

Pasta Pirate sounds interesting. Sounds like you really enjoyed it.

Thanks for the report. Tom in Lawrence, MA

Congratulations on your anniversary; it sounds like you really celebrated in style. It's nice to hear from someone that likes the Barbary Coast, buffets, the Pasta Pirates and Coke (not Pepsi)....all favorites of mine! Thanks for the fix.
