ok, i understand. we used our hotel room only to sleep and store our
luggage but we spent just few hours in that and a comfortable bed and
a big tv with cable was enough for us.
iovho, we thought that in vegas you go sightseeing, shopping,
gambling, taking photos, watching shows, then we didn't mind too much
"extras" or amenities offered by other hotels.
being sincere, we've spent also a couple of nights in luxor [1] and
yes: it was different from circus circus :)
and i understand that more expensive hotels are even better [2]

yes, it definitely is. we used to stay in circus circus because it's
very el-cheapo both as rooms and as bj tables: we've played 3usd/hand
at the beginning of the evening and then 5usd/hand. the average dealer
was also very pleasant: we joked, we talked, we laughed... i'm not
sure that a 500usd/hand table the dealer would scream for my blackjack
;) or would he?
we're not "experienced" gamblers nor we play bj to win anything, but
being able to play an hour with our 50 bucks instead of loosing them
in 5 minutes is far funnier :)
said this, we realized this summer that 5$ bj tables are also in
excalibur and somewhere else and room rates are almost the same in cc
and excalibur. considering the better position on the strip we plan to
go to excalibur.

thank you :) i've been reading usenet groups for almost 10 years but i
still miss some abbreviations :)
localized groups are 'net's ruin ;)
bye!
[1] we've spent 1 night in an ordinary room inside the piramid: it was
very nice; but the one-bed pharaoh suite is really *astonishing*.
we've been very lucky because when we moved to vegas last year we
booked an ordinary room inside the piramid, but due to some
conferences --or whatever else i didn't remember-- there were no free
rooms (!!!) and they gave us "a free room upgrade". when the lady at
check in told us our room was in west tower we got sad because we
*really* wanted a room in the piramid, but after entering and seeing
our suite we changed rapidly idea ;)
i can't even imagine a big suite in venetian, caesar's palace,
mirage... and i can't imagine somebody being able to afford it! :D
[2] while walking along the strip we entered some casinos inside
different hotels and at the venetian we saw some girls bringing
cocktails to gamblers that we've never seen even in tv. they were
something really special :)
