Overall our honeymoon was a blast in Vegas, but of course as with all things in life it was not perfect and I want to vent on some of them.
Gambling on the strip sucks
I'm not quite sure how else to put it, it just does. All the tables have really high minimums, the dealers seamed up tight, and the players didn't seem to be having that much fun. The only place that was fun to play the tables at was the Circus Circus (slots were a blast at Luxor though). I've learned my lesson, if I am going to gable, go to Reno (that is solid advice for y'alls too... unless you have a 6 figure bank account and can afford the luxury gaming, don't bother with the Las Vegas Strip.
know your audience
We went to Thunder From Down Under and it was ladies night or something at the casino so they were giving all the ladies wristbands for unlimited drinks, that's all good and well, no complaints. Here's the seriously, do you know know your audience moment, to make it more fair, for any men in the audience (all two of us) they gave us coupons from free entry to the CatHouse club, where the servers are women in french lingerie... umm, what makes you think that I, as an audience member of Thunder From Down Under, would have any use for a coupon for a place with scantily clad women?
so good until...
we were having lunch at McCarren while waiting for our flight (that airport is nowhere near as bad as people says it is), we had a server who was really doing good, only complaint was my drink wasn't mixed properly, but that is the bartender's fault, not the server. Then, after we finish eating, he asks if we want anything else, we say no, we figure that he's going to get our check. Nope, he goes and socializes with other servers for at least five minutes (I started checking my watch). Seriously, you were doing so well, and when it came to the EASIEST part of the job, you drop the ball.
