Rickles Told Me to Come to Vegas!

The other night I dreamt Don Rickles appeared before and said "Hey Dummy!, come see me ya hockey puck!". When I woke up the next morning, I knew it was time for another Vegas fix!

Got on the phone with my host May from Stardust. We've been getting some great offers in the mail since our last stay in Dec and she even sweetened the deal. Three nights comped in a suite, full RFB, free tickets to see Don Rickles on the 11th of May, $125 free cash from the players club, and free limo to and from airport.

Only bummer is airline costs these days are nuts. Having only a regional airport in the vicinity makes it even worse. Booked U.S. Airways $415 per person - ouch! Oh well, at least the rest of the trip is free, less gambling.

Wife didn't want to go (fear of flying, actually fear of throwing up while flying) but talked her into it. Hope to make her happy with a trip to see the Fab Four - she loves The Beatles.

This will be our third trip to the Mecca. So we're T-54 - Yahoo! Look out Don, here we come!

Hope to find some meets going on during that time and meet some you fine folks.

BTW, most all of the Stardust employees are getting farmed out to other Boyd properties. Looks like most of the hosts will be going over to the Orleans, which is fine by us since we love the Orleans too.

That's a nice 'bummer' to have -- all that free stuff, and all u need to do is get out there.

Myself - im aiming for april to come out and see more of the city for a "maybe move".

Listen Dummy, if you've got the attention of a host and
deals you get, you CAN afford a little real time air fare LOL!
Sounds like a fun trip 'sailor53'!
I've heard mixed reviews of Don's show, hope you like it!

Georgio,

Yer Rite, I've heard Don's performances have been "dumb'd" down. But at 79, I'd have to cut him a break. I'm just proud to have a chance to be in the same room with a legend. I'm bringing my autographed photo of him from the 90's and hoping he will tear it up and stomp on it then maybe give me a new one so I just have the experience!

[GREGRIO]

You'll be glad you went. How many times have you seen on
these boards..."I wish I had......"

Sounds like a deal that was way to good to pass up. I'm sure the show will be worth while going to. Have a great time.

It's hard to turn down a deal like that! Have a fun time!
