So I am headed to Vegas for a work conference 2/23 - 2/26 and sadly it is at the Palace Station and my cheap as work wouldn't budge on a better hotel. They also only budget $30 a day for food and since Palace Station has an airport shuttle no taxi or rental car budget. They truly are some tight asses where I work. I could burn a comp and stay on strip but don't want to mess with cabbing it back and forth on my dime every day so I am going to slum it and invite you to join along. The conference runs from 8am - 4:30pm each day with an hour lunch time. The plan is to attend the conference then gamble till midnight or 1am sleep till 7am hit the conference rinse and repeat. I am bringing $2,500 to gamble with so while this wont be nuts there will be a bit of money moving around. I plan to see how much I can make the pit boss sweat at the double deck table and get in a bit of baccarat. Anyone know what Palace Stations minimum is to touch and bend the cards at bacc?

 

Good luck! Eat well and win big!

 

I am going to do my best to stay at the $30 a day and see how I can eat in Vegas.

 

Best of Luck! Can't wait to see your TR.

 

Take lots of photos(good or bad things) as not many VBers probably have been there, including me.

I am not planning a stay there either, but the photos could be interesting to discuss.

 

Headed to the airport now

See the responses to the thread "What Buffets Give You Indigestion But Not Montezuma's Revenge? TIA!"

 

I stayed at Palace Station for a conference in December. The rooms we actually okay but the casino was so smoky and its so far from everything. I had a rental car so it wasn't so bad.

 

Landed about an hour ago. Checked in to the room I'll post some pics later as I can't get a connection for shit. Somehow I already lost $600.
