Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!

What is even happening?

I looked at their website, today. I already don't want to leave there, and I've never been. The suites? Oh. My.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Heh. Never happen, but such a pretty thought...

Prolly not, but who knows

A One that isn't cold, is scarcely A One at all.

Does SciFi get any advertising? Every break they promo'd Stargate!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

The suites? Oh. My.

We had one last time we were there; there was a schemozzle at the front desk and we had to wait in the queue about half an hour - that Simply Does Not Happen at the Bellagio - and we were nice about it and they upgraded our Web Special $129 a night room to Suite 2626. I have the photos.

We went on a pilgrimage and bought the entire front desk staff - 62 people, plus concierges - chocolates. I am not a retired rock and roller for nothing, damn it.

Of course, turned out they make their own chocolates. But the thought was appreciated. When we were trying to get back to Vegas for our anniversary, I asked Nic if he wanted me to ring up the Bellagio and he said, "Hey, I didn't buy all that chocolate so that we could stay at Circus Circus."

Your darn tootin. Not that I know a thing about Circus Circus, but I know the Bellagio exists, so I don't have to.

Circus Circus is very theme-park and noisy and cute and bright and loud and kid-friendly.

I generally cross the Strip to avoid it.

Must find those suite pictures. Jacuzzi bath, gold fittings, floor to ceiling windows. Nic took a bunch of gazing out across the neon jungle while wrapped in the posh bathrobes you find in every room.

Damn. Now I'm not only missing the Bellagio, I'm missing every great hotel I've ever frickin' stayed in....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Since everything I know of Vegas, I know from Hunter S Thompson, I always think of it as theme-park and noisy and cute and bright and loud and screaming-nightmare-vision-inducing. So glad to hear it hasn't changed.

It honestly hasn't. The only other ones that creep me to nearly the same degree are the Straosphere (stayed there once, would rather give Karl Rover my social security number than repeat that little nightmare) and the Luxor, because it's so damned Illuminatus.

Bwah! But it has a spa with massages and mud baths and an Olympic swimming pool in the basement, Deb. (Also, I MUST dress up sufficiently to be admitted to Isis next time I'm there.)

Circus Circus wouldn't let me into a room until after 3pm despite my arriving at 3am. And a friend's car was stolen from their garage while I was there. The only mark in the pro column was that it was full of Kristen and other Bronzers during my visit.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

the Luxor, because it's so damned Illuminatus.

Heh. I love it because it's so creepy. I love Caesar's Palace for the kitsch factor though, so I'm clearly not to be trusted. I do steer far away from Circus Circus and Excalibur or whatever the knight one is. Too many kidlets.
