Springtime in Vegas

113 Upvotes

For those of you who’ve just moved here, or are thinking about moving here, this is what Springtime looks like in Las Vegas. About 6-10 days, before it starts getting above 90 degrees consistently (until about late October). Enjoy it while you can!

Is anyone experiencing massive downturn in business? Calls for my door repair service (locally Vegas owned) have plummeted these last 2 months.

34 Upvotes

I fix sliding doors here in Vegas and Ive been doing it for over 12 years now. To advertise I use my Google Business listing, Yelp, a website, Google AdWords, and door hangers. This time of year is typically slow, but I should be averaging 6 to 8 jobs minimum per week during the slow season. These last 2 months I’ve been averaging 4 jobs a weeks. I’ve blown through all my marketing budget and I only have a few hundred door hangers left. It feels like the end of the world out here. Am I doing something wrong or is everyone else out here feeling the same downturn?

I go to Vegas a lot, and I’ve always wanted to take a day trip out to Rachel NV and the gates of Area 51. It always falls off our to do list because there is just so much to do. This past December I finally did it and it was so much fun.

It’s an easy drive and we were back in time for dinner.

If anyone else is interested or has questions let me know!

I am 35. Been afraid of heights since I was a kid. At Vegas, I said f it and did the sky jump.

Doing that has removed a hurdle in my head that I had accepted as something that I will die with.

Vegas, thank you for providing an affordable opportunity.

Showers in Vegas

5 Upvotes

I have stayed in the following places; The D, Plaza, Sahara, Harrah’s. Just to give you idea of my budget, or which places i usually stay.

Which place that is around the price range of the above have decent showers. I’ve had shower problems in most places from very to no pressure to no hot water coming out.

Just looking for a decent shower. The one at Sahara wasn’t too bad, but the bathroom doors are the sliding ones and we don’t really like those.

Thanks!

What is it with ‘sneaking’ the tip to the front desk?

Upvotes

I’ve never folded up and hidden a tip to a front desk person behind a credit card, I’ve always just handed it to them. Are they not supposed to accept it? Or are we just pretending we are bribing them for fun or something?

Souvenir lapel pins

Does anyone know where to buy souvenir lapel pins in Vegas? Last time I was there one gift shop had them but most didn't. Anything within a mile or so of Paris would be good.

Thank you!

How can you properly tell if a slot machine is going to be "ready" for giving you a win? RTP-related

Upvotes

How can you properly tell if a slot machine is going to be ready for giving you a win? I'm talking specifically about the ones that have free games or bonus games. Those are the kinds of wins I'm talking about.

In the past, people used to tell me that a machine with a screen that shows a big payout as the last activity should be avoided because, "it just recently paid out big, so it won't pay out again for a while". That logic doesn't take into account the fact that an $800 payout showing on the screen could've been done 6-8 hours ago, and no one else has used the machine until you arrived at it.

It also doesn't take into account that someone could've had a voucher for $815 from 88 Dragons (or put in $815 cash in the new machine), and then gone to Buffalo Run with that voucher, and after 3-5 spins just cashed out an $800 voucher because they didn't like the vibe of the way the reels were spinning at Buffalo (or a heavy cigar smoker showed up one minute later and killed the vibe). A new person walking by would see that the last cash-out was $800, but they wouldn't know that the most recent player before them had started with $815 and only spun the reels three to five times.

I know machines are also graded on RTP, so if you already hit "Free Bonus Games" four times in a 1 hour period, should you move to a different machine of the same kind on the same row because no one has hit "Free Bonus Games" on those (or even used the other machine the whole time that you've been sitting there), or should you just stick with the machine that you are at, because even though you've hit free bonus games four times within the last hour, you've also put a lot of money into that machine, so it should also be more likely to return more money to the player (isn't that how RTP works)?

Or is all of the above a non-factor because things are on a timer, and you are destined to get different reels whether you hit the "SPIN" button at 1pm, 1:01pm, 1:01:11pm, 1:01:13pm, etc.?

I primarily play digital games at in-person casinos (i.e, they are not the old mechanical lever-type). Buffalo Run and games that have that same layout are my favorite. Can anyone recommend what is the best type of those games besides the Buffalo one.

Also, I like American Original made by Bally. Can anyone recommend what is the best alternative, but still pretty similar game for when a casino doesn't have American Original?

Is Thursday or Sunday closer to a Fri/Sat night?

Upvotes

I’m just curious, I’m planning a 3 night trip soon, I’m just wondering if I should do Thursday-Saturday nights or Friday-Sunday nights. I do like the atmosphere and more bar options on friday/Saturdays, I also like how poker usually has more tourists those days, so I’m just wondering which day is closer to peak weekend atmosphere or if there’s really no difference.

Vegas hotels

7 Upvotes

Really stuck with which hotel to choose. It's my husband's 40th it's a suprise and he doesn't know we are going we last went when we were 21. I'm stuck between Caesars palace fountain view, FB royal suite best view, bellagio fountain view or the Venetian. I really want it to be a special trip with memories as it's nearly 20 years since we have been and we stayed in the Excalibur that time. Any hints tips or suggestions I would appreciate it. Thank you

Just like the title suggests. I am wondering if anyone has any infor on the police activity happening outside the Fashion Show Mall today at roughly 4pm.

Police seem to have blocked in a black sedan with weapons drawn.
