    My first trip was in 2005, stayed at the IP....4 of us shared a tiny shit hole room. Everything about it was so wrong but so awesome at the same time!

    First place I ever stayed was at the Westward Ho in 2004 with @timchuk and a couple other friends. Since the place is closed, I obviously can't stay there again. That being said I never did stay there again. I did however start staying on cheap rates at Imperial Palace. We learned about poker room rates and ate buffets comps. Then @Gangus introduced me video poker. Once that happened, the comps started and now I haven't paid for a room in Vegas for 6 years now. So in reality it's Gaggles fault I'm a degenerate!!!

    My first trip my then wife and I stayed at PH. It was quite the interesting trip as the same year I had filed divorce in February, we briefly reconciled in April and went to LV in June. It was like being dropped in a foreign country, I had not done much research and we just kind of winged the whole trip. The only thing we had planned was a concert at Palms. Oddly enough as we were at this concert I recognized this really hot ass, I had spend hours of my life staring at it so I was certain....... It was one of my wife's best friends. She was there with her latest douche-bag staying at the Palms and at the same concert.

    The trip worked zero magic as far as our marriage went and I got home and phone by attorney at his house and told me to re-file the paperwork as soon as he got to his office in the morning.

    That was almost 8 years ago, one love ended and another began........ I have never returned to stay at PH.

    The IP. Man those elevators were the worst. I did love playing Keno while eating breakfast. My grandfather took me there, so I have some great memories of him from there. I really doubt I'd ever stay at the Linq.

    Didn't know anything about Vegas at the time but friends told us MGM was one of the better hotels and the price was cheap (we were just out of college) me and my gf (now wife) got one of those suites with the huge early 90's looking jacuzzi tubs (spa suite?)

    I would go back to MGM only if we were in the skylofts or mansion

    On my first trip I stayed at the Hilton Grand Vacations timeshare. My father had a few extra weeks he was trying to get rid of so I took him up on the offer. At the time it seemed great but once I started staying in actual casinos there was no going back.

    Our first trip was in 2005 and we stayed at the Imperial Palace. I wouldn't mind trying out the Linq now but we have just gotten hooked on the Mirage lately. Probably not a good idea to be so close to the TAG bar anyway, love that place!

    Our first Vegas trip was 2013 @ Encore. Have been back every year since and only stay at Encore. That place just has a feeling that I can't describe.
