WMS Studios Tour 2014

The annual April Slot Fanatics Meet wouldn't be the same without some of us visiting WMS Studios. Thank you Shamus of Slots from Player's Life for organizing this yearly tour and of course a big thanks to WMS for hosting us!

 Ken, (CPT on SF) was such a good sport about driving me and other friends all over the strip during this April trip. Tonight he drove Mike and I to WMS studios. Thanks Ken!

Our group getting ready to enter the main WMS showroom where both current and new slots are on display. Before we went in Shamus had a drawing for some cash, but all I remember is I wasn't the winner!

WMS also had a contest for us to guess a new slot that they had under wraps. Due to signing a NDA I can't tell you what slot they revealed to us but unlike last year when Rambler and I both guessed correctly no one submitted the right guess this year until many hints were given out. However they still awarded a $50 gift card and the winner was Lakrhatr! Congrats Lakrhatr!

Above I'm in front of what I believe will be one of my favorite slots when it's released later this month. BeetleJuice! I have two demo bonuses at the links below if you are curious.

 The Gold Fish franchise lives on with Gold Fish 3 coming to a casino soon. Here's a link to the Redfish bonus on GF3.

Paris Las Vegas Hotel, Room Service Menu as of April 15th, 2014

Recently stayed at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas for a night and decided to take photographs of their latest room service menu as I noticed the prices had increased from the one they currently have online as of today April 15th, 2014. Hope it's helpful for those of you staying in the near future at this property.

Girls just want to have fun or my February 2014 Trip Report!

I had a wonderful time with my friend Boots in Vegas in early February so I can't believe how long it's taken me to getting around to writing up my trip report!

My flight out of San Jose was smooth and after landing I quickly had my luggage. Since I was staying the first two nights at Cosmopolitan no limo for me so I grabbed a taxi. Upon entering the driver asked me if I wanted to go the freeway! Hell No! Well at least he politely asked before trying to tunnel me. Arrived at Cosmopolitan, no lines at check in and had a terrace suite on floor 25. Because it was a Saturday and I knew the clubs would be playing music until 4am or so,  I asked for a room that wouldn't hear the music, which meant no view of the Bellagio fountains for me!

Lots to do tonight so I raced down to the casino after unpacking to get in a hour of slot play.

Had some bonuses on Beverly Hillbillies but they didn't pay much. Tried the new Flashdance slot and they were cute bonuses but such low pay outs that I never returned to them.

Went to the Cosmopolitan HL room and for some reason only played 2 credits instead of the max of 3 credits on Pink Diamonds so when I hit the 3 seven's it only paid out $800.00 but I was still happy with it.

After my lucky hit on Pink Diamonds, it was time to meet my friends Barb and Ger at Bond Bar for drinks to celebrate Barb's birthday. We had a great time drinking a couple cocktails together. In the past when seeing Barb and Ger in Vegas we have been in large groups so it was lovely to spend some time alone with them to chat. They are so much fun and Barb looked radiant!

There have been a lot of changes to Bond Bar since I was last there. Now they have video poker at the bar and the nice secluded cabana areas in the lounge have been removed so it's like most casino bars now except they still have some of the unique cocktails I like.

After Barb and Ger left to eat dinner and catch a show, I went back to the slots. I had been playing Bier haus on Facebook for free so decided to play it for real.

While I was playing Bier haus I had a text from my friend Kevin (Kydds) who had noticed via Twitter or Facebook that I had arrived in Vegas. I hadn't seen Kevin in a while so was happy to hear that him and his wife Judy had done their usual pitstop in Vegas on the way to their condo in another state.

I was so happy when they decided to stay for the night at Vdara and get together with me for a drink at The Henry. While we were drinking I had a appetizer as my dinner tonight wasn't until 8:30pm.  Below Kevin and Judy, just a fantastic couple and I wish we were able to spend more time together this trip.

While I was having a drink with Kevin and Judy my friend Boots had arrived, checked in and unpacked. After saying goodbye to Kevin and Judy and showing them where the Liberace exhibit was located at Cosmo, I found Boots at a nearby slot machine.

The main purpose of this February trip that had been planned months previously was to join Boots at eating at e' at Jaleo. This would be her first time eating there and my second experience. While we were playing slots Boots gave me my Golden Ticket for our 8:30 seating at Jose Andres's e' at Jaleo.
