I used to go to Vegas a lot in the 90s. Then there was such an explosion of gaming, the last time I was there was in 2003, after enduring that hellish BC at SA. Now I can pretty much play whatever (except sports) here or nearby (and you can play sports in the Bahamas, but I gave up serious sports betting like 12 years ago). Even this stay is part of a larger trip.
I used to like it old school, at the LV Hilton, dark and cavernous. When I tried to book a room there for a week, the back end was super cheap but the Wed/Thur/Fri/Sat leading into the BC was ridiculous--the Wed. alone was $399/night!
So those four nights I am staying cheap out in Henderson and then switching to the LVH for Sun,Mon,Tues,Wed after the BC. It is like $275--for all four nights combined, which I am splitting with a friend. It is basically free.
In fact I may check out the race/sports book at Green Valley Ranch (which is in Henderson) on Thursday. If it is OK I may just play there.
Going to be tough to get a seat even if you are guest someplace--a lot of regs will have them reserved.
