Vote for Best - and Worst - of Las Vegas in Annual “Trippies”
Best slots. Best video poker. Best table games. Best cocktail waitress uniforms. Worst buffet. Worst casino. Worst overall. Vegas Tripping wants to know who - or what - you think should take home the prize in these and lots of other categories for the site’s 2008 Trippies Awards.
Here are my choices — designated in boldface – in just a couple of categories:
- Best Overall - Bellagio, Caesars Palace, MGM Grand, Orleans, Wynn Las Vegas - Love the decor, Jean Philippe pastries, the Conservatory, the Chihuly ceiling in the reception area, the Lake Show, the restaurants, the pool - the whole vibe.
- Worst Overall - Casino Royale, Circus Circus, Hooters, Imperial Palace, Tropicana - Smells bad, weird layout and I never win anything there plus it’s too easy to rag on the Circus.
- Best Cocktail Waitress Uniforms - Caesars Palace, Orleans, Rio, Paris, Wynn Las Vegas - These outfits stick in my head. Royal blue and boobs. What more do you want?
- Best Buffet - Caesars Palace, Bellagio, MGM Grand, Wynn Las Vegas, The Venetian - Beautiful food in a beautiful setting for beautiful people.
- Best Signage/Neon - Flamingo, New York New York, Wynn Las Vegas, MGM Grand, Caesars Palace - That flashing, clashing orange and pink just says “Vegas” to me. I still remember my first ride down The Strip in the early-80’s (back when you could actually hit 35mph) and seeing that riot of glowing neon. Sigh.
So, do your duty as a citizen or denizen of Las Vegas and go vote at Vegas Tripping.
