Speaking of steaks in vegas.  The only one I have eaten out was Delmonico but it was ridiculous. I had bone in ribeye.

Delmonico is the definition of elite.

Get yourself a rack of lamb and a couple Chimays and you have an incredible evening in the making.

i've done that a couple times too, fun stuff.  once was at a restaurant in beverly hills, the chef suggested a 25 yr scotch to which i said hell yes.  that's how i knew about it.


i went there myself, couldn't believe how expensive it was.  always get the bone in ribeye.  can't wait for march.

Did you get the truffle fries?  amazing.  
did not.  blanc  in omaha should be opening any time now, they serve truffle fries too, i'm not a huge fan of theirs so...

Where can I find $5 blackjack tables with 3:2 payouts (weekdays). 

during the day you can find some. Try harrahs, it sucks but they have outside tables that are usually $5 and they keep the drinks coming and is right across the street from you.  The mirage will usually have some $10 tables set up during the day but I don't know that I've ever seen $5.  

Love that outdoor blackjack pit at harrahs, I can confirm they do have $5 tables. I also found some at tropicana last september on a friday night, they put out the $10 sign around 10.  They just remodeled the Tropicana about a year ago and it just nails the 80's coke influenced scarface look.

Summer before last when i went it was pretty gross. However, they remodeled since then and i've heard it's a lot nicer. Good place to gamble though. Low minimum blackjack tables.

I got this ridiculous harrahs thing because I guess I gambled enough last time I was there.  I can stay at Caesars for free march 13-16 free at PH or Paris pretty much all of march/april free.  weird deal because I don't play at big tables.

Staying at the Vdara in City Center 3 nights in March.  Anyone stayed there?  I like the fact that the entire hotel is non-smoking and it's all suites.
