They are used to getting $1/drink. I try and give between $4-$6/drink


but be warned...the stronger the drink, the more money you lose gambling. Those "max bet" and "repeat bet" buttons start to blur and then you know you are in trouble

7/16/2009 9:42:41 AM

Hhahahah I'm already in trouble. I'm going to fucking VEGAS.

I wish you would have taken me up on my offer! I want you to be my Vegas Guide!

7/16/2009 9:46:29 AM

This sounds dangerous. Seriously, someone is going to have to remind me to eat, otherwise I will be perma-wasted and may just crank call Grandma.

there's going to be a cold front the weekend we're there. There's only a high of 100.

7/19/2009 7:00:55 PM

yo

7/19/2009 7:05:54 PM

Honestly, I will be so happy for a break from humidity. And an excuse to wear cute clothes without the worry of sweating on them.

L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon in the MGM

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo%C3%ABl_Robuchon

In 1989, he was awarded "Chef of the Century" by the guide Gault Millau.
He has mentored such distinguished chefs as Gordon Ramsay, Eric Ripert and Michael Caines.
Robuchon was the most influential French chef of the post-nouvelle cuisine era.
3 Stars, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 Michelin Guide[5]

This is the only three Michelin star restaurant in Vegas. It was in my top 2 best meals of my life and all the courses were good enough I remember most of them in detail and it was about a year and a half ago. If you are going to eat at a good place and only one good place you have to go here

Tom Colicchio can eat a dick, WichCraft is just awful.

YOU TELL'EM, GIRLFRIEND!

7/20/2009 8:13:47 AM

It was told

*snap*

7/20/2009 8:17:40 AM

Yeh!

7/20/2009 8:18:05 AM

^^^^ I'll add that to the list.

One of my fav top chef competitors (Marcel) worked under Joel Robuchon in Vegas.

As for Colicchio, I just want to see him and Padma. Mostly Padma. She's my girl crush.

You guys are going to be worn out by the end of the trip


There are a ton of great restaurants on the strip. Burger Bar in the Mandalay Bay and Mon ami Gabi at Paris Paris are great. I had my bridesmaid's luncheon at Paris Paris.

I think Smoker4 has eaten in a more diverse range of his restaurants and he's eaten more places than anyone I know by a rather large margin. I think he ate at CraftSteak and I believe he said that was ok, I just hated his sandwich place.

7/20/2009 8:27:41 AM

^^ Burger Bar is on the list because:

1) I am head-over-heels in love with Hubert Keller. He has sexy hair.
2) GREAT beer selection.

^ I don't do beef, so I really just want a Colicchio spotting to satisfy my gay bear friends. LOL

ASHER ROTH WUT WUT

i'm actually kinda excited to see him and the crew he's got with him. i've read great things!

7/20/2009 8:58:04 AM

^ B.o.B and Kid Cudi are great too. Not so familiar with Pac Div, but should be totally worth it.

7/20/2009 9:01:39 AM

73 hours until we touch down in Vegas...drunk.

7/20/2009 11:46:51 AM

25 hrs to take-off. I am so effin pumped that I can't sleep!

7/22/2009 5:17:47 AM

leaving on a jet plane in 24 hours and 16 minutes

7/22/2009 7:39:35 AM

When does your flight leave? Mine leaves at 6 am, but I have a layover in Denver. Arrive in Vegas at 10 sharp!

Depart Vegas on Sunday at 4:34 pm.

YAY!

7/22/2009 7:47:13 AM

We leave RDU at 7:55am, fly nonstop and land at 9:45am in Vegas. We leave at 3:45pm on Sunday.

7/22/2009 8:19:00 AM

I'll call you guys at 6 am tomorrow with a special wakeup call! I'll be schwasted baby, yeah!

7/22/2009 8:21:35 AM

Hahaha that would be nice! I got 10 drink coupons from my admin for $20, so we will be getting tanked on the plane, Southwest style.

7/22/2009 8:22:31 AM

See if you can get someone to buy your drinks. Last time I flew Southwest, I challenged my row-mate to a shotgunning contest and he footed the bill! Driving home was a challenge after that flight.

On the plus side, now I have a Ft. Lauderdale boyfriend!

7/22/2009 8:23:47 AM

In less than 12hrs I will be on a jet plane pointed towards Sin City.

7/22/2009 8:40:31 PM

Vegas is awesome, hope ya'll have fun

7/22/2009 8:41:41 PM

still awake, and leaving for the airport in 4hrs and 45mins. at this rate, i may not be drinking on my flight to Vegas...i may be sleeping.

7/23/2009 1:00:21 AM

I have to finish packing. 2:30 am gym workout. Leave for airport by 4 at latest for 6 am flight. No sleep for me! So effin' pumped!

7/23/2009 1:02:10 AM

7/23/2009 3:26:22 AM

On my way to Denver atm!

7/23/2009 5:53:47 AM

You didn't give us a wake up call!

Leaving the house now for a 7:55am flight!

7/23/2009 5:57:41 AM

The flight attendant yelled at me, so it was a wake-up text!

Btw, I am about to watch zac effron goodness. 17 again, ftw

7/23/2009 6:05:13 AM

HELLO!!!!!

We are here! I'm down $2 but that's from the airport slots while we waited for our luggage. Very uneventful right now.

The rest of the crew just arrived so once they're settled in I think a few of us are gonna hit the pool. Asher Roth show at 7pm. Then drinking and debauchery shall commence.

7/23/2009 4:07:08 PM

drinking and debauchery should have started at the airport or before

7/23/2009 4:08:01 PM

Hahah it started on the plane actually. We used 8 drink coupons between me and eleusis. But the 25min cab ride followed by the 45min wait to check-in at the hotel totally sobered us up.

But we are here! I am tempted to skip the pool and hit the slots and get my booze on.

7/23/2009 4:12:56 PM

I think I want to run the marathon here. You get to run the strip!

7/23/2009 4:33:10 PM

soooo, you're in vegas posting on the internet?

you're doin' it wrong.

7/23/2009 4:41:49 PM

in Vegas and on tdub

7/23/2009 4:43:32 PM

yes, as you can tell they are posting at an incredible rate

7/23/2009 4:47:01 PM

Posting at all is lame as hell.

7/23/2009 4:48:44 PM

i posted while in vegas...WHAT OF IT?!

7/23/2009 5:03:50 PM

7/23/2009 5:08:43 PM

Don't waste your money on the slots, go play pai-gow or something like that instead. You can play for hours and push for most of the time you're at the table.

7/23/2009 5:10:57 PM

Point is, you should be way too drunk to post.

7/23/2009 5:23:56 PM

I am too drunk to get out of bed. I slept in my sequined cocktail dress. LOL. Thus, I am posting.

Will get up in a bit for more roulette. I think Eleusis and I both made about $50 from roulette at the Pleasure Pit last night.

This place is almost TOO fun, if that's possible.

Has anyone been to any of Bobby Flay's restaurants? Mesa looks yummo.

7/24/2009 10:38:37 AM

foodie story

i had a bunch of comps expiring at the borgata and ended up spending $400 at bobby flay's "steak" all by myself.

corn and crab chowder, $125 kobe steak and lobster, raspberry creme freche cheesecake, and a $230 bottle of wine

i forgot that you couldnt tip using the comps though

7/24/2009 10:44:25 AM

<3 the Borgata


How long does it take you to get to AC from where you live, pshoes?
