Best places to Eat in Vegas - Not Football Related - So What?

Thanks for the heads up.
I almost got caught on that one. I had placed a bet during the summer for an upcoming game the first college weekend which occurred more that 60 days from when I made the bet. I sent it back after they had declined to honor it with a note that the game was played AFTER their time limit from the time I made the bet at their establishment and that if that was how they treated it, then they should not have had it up on the board. They realized that someone had screwed up by not seeing that I had gotten it in before their time limit which should have been from the day the game was played, not the day I made the bet.

Always some BS. I think at 0 - 12 they should pay my bet of "Less than 4.5 wins" since there is no way I can lose. However, if I am Caesars I am not going to pay the bet until the season is over. Interest on money....4 more weeks means interest on my money before they pay me. I imagine the odds on betting the Browns win 1 out of their remaining 4 will not be much more than even money. However, I bet the odds for betting the Browns to get 2 wins are pretty sky high.
I really think if the Steelers clinch early, the browns will be playing their third string bench, and have a crazy, overlooked chance to win.
We will see. It is hard for me to watch this poor bunch of guys play. It's really bad.

KA is horrible.
Better than The Beatles and Michael Jackson, but it also is not their best effort.
WTF is "KA" ?
Regardless....nothing is better than the Beatles.

It is a Cirque show that plays at MGM in Vegas. The Beatles and Michael Jackson Cirque shows blow goat caulk. KA is better, it is a very big, ominous looking show featuring some big machines. Two years ago a poor young girl lost her life on stage when she accidentally slid down a very tall climbing wall of war due to not having her safety cable attached. In the old days I think the show would have gone dark for a year (No show, but the headline stays up - That's what they did when Roy got chomped on by Monecore). I was surprised that they just churned on..............but I guess there is a big difference between a star being injured versus a replaceable acrobat, eh?
I have secured an audition for a new Cirque show that will be released in the next 2 years........(as a multi-instrumentalist in the band........not as an acrobat, lol) It would be a dream retirement job for me. I hear however that for the young performers, the shows offer very little in the way of benefits and job security. That's why I persued science and not music as a career.
The Cleveland Browns have the hardest hit players in the NFL -

The shame of it is the same poor crew in the FO are going to squander a golden opportunity to make this team at least an 8-8 2018 improvement and Hue will insure that even if they pick right, he makes them no better than 4-12. He is a godawful excuse for a HC even on the high school level in Texas. A good Texas HS would have sent him packing already.
The FO needs to do "the opposite" of what their instincts tell them. Trade away some of those later round picks to move up one or two of those 2nd rounders. Time to cash in, not trade down for more Sheet players. I swear a consensus of BB members could pick better in this upcoming draft than the brainiac losers in that FO. We have the worst 3rd team QBs (all 3 of 'em) in the entire league.
PS-good luck on your retirement job audition. Nothing wrong with pursuing a dream. I have mine down pat---mowing the yard, still playing racquetball well, having a fine wine or a fine sipping rum now and again, grilling a nice steak and reading an excellent book. Throw in cussing bad football coaching every Sunday and my week is made.
PS Again-and now I get to see if $75mil finally gets A&M a national champion in my lifetime. 80 plus change years by the time that contract expires. Not gonna hold my breath for them or the Browns.

I would need to be there next Sunday to collect, but I will cash in, in February when I go back.
Check your betting slip because some have a time limit on how long you can keep it before cashing. Sometimes it's like 60 days. If you're not sure, then check with the place where you made the bet to see if they have a time limit on collecting.

I have a betting slip from 1999 when I was in Lake Tahoe. It was the week when the Browns played the Bengals. Akili Smith led the Bangles to like a one or two point last second victory. This is like the only game he ever started and won in his career. Though the Browns lost, they did cover the spread, which was like 3 or 5 pts. I was pissed because they lost that way...and never cashed in the ticket. It was only good for like 5 bucks anyway. I still have it in my souvenir album from that trip.
Can I assume it is no longer any good?

OK, you are saying that this particular Vegas show is better than the Vegas shows about the Beatles and MJ. Fair enough. I misunderstood.
Good luck on the audition.

Had Steak and Shake burger tonight, best burger I ever had.

For steaks - in no particular order ------Bardot, Tom Colichio's, Gallagher's, Mon Ami Gabi
Buffet - Caesars, by far
Hamburger - Sammy's Burgers and Pastrami on Decatur (#1) - Gordon Ramsay's Burgr, Emeril's Sportsbar
Hot Dog - The D
I am headed there on Monday. Decided to see Wayne Newton. He and Donnie/Marie are really the last remaining acts from the heyday (Not Who Dey) of Vegas. My Mom was a big fan, it will be like a trip back in time.
Oh yeah............... if you can see only one show in Paradise, see Absinthe.............cussing,bawdy humor and phenomenal daredevil acts, right at arms reach.
I will send you some pictures from the desert.

Some of the hookers you were talking to, in fact, most of them in the strip casinos, were cops, not hookers. Prostitution is illegal in Las Vegas and while the constant influx of new girls makes cataloging them all pretty impossible, Vegas really does a good job of keeping that to a minimum. Those girls that sit down next to you in the Casino and ask you "would you like company" are looking to arrest you. And, no, it is not entrapment for them to do that.
However, there are a lot of hookers on the street for sure, not as many as one would think, but nonetheless, it is all part of the Vegas Christmas experience. I hope you had fun. There is no place on Earth that I would rather be. Can't get enough of it.
