Welcome to Las Vegas

New year, new blog ... and this is all about the wonderful city of Las Vegas, NV. My husband, David and I moved here from Boston, MA (currently known as Ice Station Zebra) at the start of December 2017 and it's our aim, now we live here, to visit every casino, on strip and off. That's the main reason for this blog - we are going to review each one and give you our verdict. It may take a while but we'll get there or die trying (just kidding, we don't intend to die whilst undertaking this fun task). The closest casinos to us are Sam's Town and the Eastside Cannery - both of which are on Boulder Highway. We haven't really started a proper review process yet but on a personal note, I really like Sam's Town. It has a little bit of everything including it's own bowling alley and movie theater - pretty impressive for an off strip establishment. The sportsbook is decent too - very easy to pick up the odds, see the odds on the screens and place a bet. Great stuff. Well, that's it for the intro ... will be back with more soon. Viva Las Vegas .... * please note - all pictures on this blog are taken by my husband or me, if you wish to use them, feel free to ask in the comments. Thanks *

One word - sportsbook. This is what the Westgate prides itself on. The largest one in the world in fact. Westgate is football central. If you want somewhere to watch the games with a fun crowd, go to the Westgate. When we visited back in October last year, we got to the Superbook (as it likes to call itself) about an hour before kick off for the days' NFL games - could we find a seat in there? Nope. And there's 400 seats available too ... But not to fear! The International Theatre is opened up and it has plenty more seating - they're actually holding a Super Bowl viewing party in there this weekend - it's $100 per person however it's all you can eat and drink with reserved seating. Really quite a bargain to be honest! Anyhoo, back to the casino. It's small but modern and as I notice with all the casinos we visit, it's very visually pleasing. New, clean and a good selection of old and new slots. The Westgate does have a poker room - it'

Sunset Station Casino, Henderson, NV

Here it is! Review #1 is in the books! Last night we visited the Sunset Station Casino - it's one of the off strip casinos in the "Station Family" and is linked in with Wildfire, Fiesta and Palms casinos as well as the other Station ones. It is conveniently located at 1301 W Sunset Road in Henderson - 702-547-7777 which is also across the street from the Sunset Galleria Mall so when you're all filled up on gambling, you can shoot across the street to spend your winnings at the mall! :D Also, for you Pokémon Go fans out there, there's a couple of gyms and a few Pokestops at the casino too to stock up on those Ultra Balls and catch yourself a Wobbuffet ;) So, our first thing we looked for to review was the poker room - short answer, there isn't one. The casino does however have a Keno Lounge and Bingo Hall so if they're your thing ... you got em! We also noticed upon entering the main gaming floor, the casino really is quite smokey - some are no
