I stayed there in June.  It was quiet which was good for the tables and the sports book, but not so much for the nightlife.  It's location makes it good to go elsewhere for club life though. [/b]
Speaking of clubs, I'll be hitting Pure @ somepoint & Ghostbar for pre-games.  Any other tips?
 
 *COPOUT POST* (to avoid threadjacking):
 Oh yes, & while I'm there I'll be seeing Daft Punk, Queens Of The Stone Age, Rage, Iggy/Stooges, Thievery Corporation, & others . . .

Get a huge garbage bag full of dollar bills, throw them in the air at a strip joint and start shooting people.  Never a dull moment when that happens.

Speaking of which, what's the deal with "making it rain"?  I'm sure the strippers don't mind the cash, but man, how do they not get pissed off that guys are literally throwing money at them?

I hate the practice as well, and I don't get it.  
 
 Which would you rather do - make it rain while she's dancing 5 feet away from you or slip it in her g-string while she's smiling at you from arms length?  That's a no-brainer right?

Exactly.  It just seemed like bullshit showing off anyway.  In fact, at our club is was a rain off between a group of thugged out black guys and some white trust fund douche bags who wanted to be thugged out black guys.  
 
 Either way, I got more worthwhile contact and all I did was direct the ladies over to the groom to be.

That's pretty much what it is.  It's just something you do because you can.  And I doubt the strippers are turned off by it, cause money's an aphrodisiac in an environment like that.  Think of it as a currency-based pissing contest.  
 
 I personally don't do it cause I don't like attention when I'm out doing my thing, but I can't begrudge 'em for it.  Do you . . . Plus I'm no space to judge.  I got issues of my own . . .

<100 ones = no rain: barely drizzling
 
 >100 or <1K  = you're doing something.
 
 >1K = grab a fuckin' umbrella
 
 >10K = Alan Greenspan's version of monsoon season

good to hear ... that must be when it first opened?  my buddy has a hookup there, so free room, which is always nice ... it does seem like the location is perfect

true story - *sigh*.
 
 on the other hand, would be neat to walk around introducing your bride-to-be as "hi, have you met my finance?"   :eek:

It certainly hadn't been open very long - the carpeting was still full of genie's and magic carpets...
 
 They practically gave us a panorama suite because the hotel was empty.  The restaurants weren't open and there was really only one lounge, but they had hot chicks in costumes (like french maids and dirty nurses) dancing on blocks which was entertaining for a while.  The book was tiny and makeshift, but no lines made for easy betting, and I hit a couple of baseball parlays there so I have fond memories.  It's also connected to the Miracle Mile mall with Pampas Brazilian Steakhouse in it which is perfect for a bunch of guys.  I highly recommend it. And say hi to the ladies in the Bettie Page store - I eat that baby doll thing up...

So seriously...this guy is gay, right?  Doesn't Craig know that 99 times out of 100, if you think someone is gay, they are?

Speaking of the upcoming New Pornographers show, if anyone has a spare ticket, please PM me. I'd really like to attend. Thanks!
