        That's Love, right? The reward for 2 tickets is sold out right now, but will probably show up again when we're in the 90 day window. - Meg Dec 31, 14:42 3
        
        they had a 2 ticket deal for Thunder when I FIRST started playing - then pulled it - maybe it will be back again in time for our buys? -- nm - JenBro Dec 31, 14:50 2
        
        Could happen. Really sucks we're limited to 3 rewards but I'm darned if I'm buying chips to qualify for more. -- nm - Meg Dec 31, 14:59 1

    - That's the naked Cirque, right? I'm concerned that this one focuses more on "Cirque" than "naked". - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 31, 14:10 9
      - The Cirque is at the top of my list. Despite being from my home town, I've never seen them. Zumanity is probably the show of choice. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 31, 15:31
      - Those women are super fit and hot. That is just the warm up for the night's events. - Bacon Dec 31, 14:11 7

    - You call *that* wilderness?? - Meg Dec 31, 14:10 9
      - time to take him out to the desert. and have him get in a water pit -- nm - Remlik Dec 31, 14:31 2
        
        Mouse's Tank for sure. -- nm - Meg Dec 31, 14:34 1
        
        yeah. that was a neat place. -- nm - Remlik Dec 31, 14:36
      - That's as wilderness as it gets for this city boy. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 31, 14:11 5
        
        City Boy? You live in Cow Town Corvallis. -- nm - Bacon Dec 31, 14:12 4

- 1..3..3..4....3..5...2...1...the bottom line on buffets is the better the hotel, the better the buffet. Wynn, Cosmo & Bellagio are the best in town -- nm - peglegpete Dec 31, 13:38 20
  - the comp that caught my eye was the endless beverage one for Aria's brunch buffet - JenBro Dec 31, 13:41 19
    - I don't drink so comp'd drinks is not at all appealing to me. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 31, 13:50 17
      - it's $12.99 for a very limited bar & cheap champagne for the drink upgrade -- nm - peglegpete Dec 31, 13:54 16

        World Pasty Champion? I thought Las Vegas had done away with the pretense years ago. - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 31, 14:03 8
        
        from reading people that post trip reports in the MyVegas group - it gets good reviews -- nm - JenBro Dec 31, 14:11 6
        
        So I'm thinking we have at least one activity set. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 31, 14:12 5
        
        I'm wondering if we could do the brunch one ... and then head to bingo in the afternoon - we can get a head start on beverage buzz that way? -- nm - JenBro Dec 31, 14:14 4
        
        Is bingo more fun when drunk? I've done bingo with three small children (which I assume is like doing it with three drunk adults). Not fun. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 31, 14:53 2
        
        Bingo is what will put you in a wheelchair later. Am I right? -- nm - Bacon Dec 31, 15:39
        
        I will defer the answer to Dawson &/or Cuzzin Todd :) -- nm - JenBro Dec 31, 15:05
        
        (those that wish to that is) -- nm - JenBro Dec 31, 14:15
        
        it is one of the top buffets in town. I ate there right after it opened and had a very good meal -- nm - peglegpete Dec 31, 14:07
        
        heh ... that should be PASTRY - JenBro Dec 31, 14:03
        
        If we do some beverage related event, I'll gladly give my drink ticket (or whatever) to a fellow Slacker. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 31, 13:57 3

    - yep - I feel similarly, except on the bingo & a show - and those two are pretty contingent on whether others are with me to do them, hence wanting to - JenBro Dec 31, 13:39 3
      - I've never done bingo with the Vegas crew so would definitely like to. - ty97 Dec 31, 13:40 2
        
        I've never played bingo where it's gambling - ever - but from what's been said on ST - it's a blast - so likewise - want to do it. -- nm - JenBro Dec 31, 13:41 1
        
        I guess I never have either. My parents used to work the Church bingo when I was a kid, but that's it -- nm - ty97 Dec 31, 13:45

Question about the DC character Black Adam. Is he more an 'anti-hero; or is he a straight up supervillian? -- nm - Jovian Dec 31, 13:18 9
- He's been a member of the JSA. I don't think he's straight up evil for the sake of evil. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 31, 14:09
- It has varied based on the stuff I have read. - TWuG Dec 31, 13:21 7
  - he protects his people and his land no matter who he has to kill. He looks down on the modern day heroes as meddling weaklings and has no qualms - Remlik Dec 31, 13:33 5
    - he now has his own country, like Dr. Doom? -- nm - peglegpete Dec 31, 13:41 1
