I’ve only been on one Princess Cruise so far, Enchanted Princess. It was solid enough, but the casino was pretty small, and it wasn’t chock-full of advantage games. I knew that going in, as I looked up footage of the cruise beforehand, but I kind of owned myself by overthinking things. I figured fellow slot…

This video was shockingly long, as in my head I don’t think of Treasure Island as a massive casino. It’s a casino I sometimes skip over in my various Vegas escapades, in large part because of its location (kind of in between MGM/Caesars locations and Wynn/Encore) and also because it doesn’t have any “sister” properties.…

Calling the Aztec Inn a true “casino” may be a stretch. It’s more like a gas station in size. And boy, it’s in a really sketchy part of town, well North of much of substance. I’ve been here a few times, and each time I said “never again,” but I keep coming back, so who…

Aria is my go-to place to stay when I book through MGM in Vegas. It’s upscale, in that Bellagio level, but it doesn’t have nearly as chaotic a feeling to me. It’s located next to Cosmo and Park MGM and is across the street from many of the Caesars locations. It’s a large enough place,…

This casino always felt out of place to me, at least in the current climate on the strip. It’s one of the first casinos you’ll get to on the strip, before MGM and Caesars start to take over. It has sort of a rundown feel from the outside, and the inside isn’t much better. Don’t…

From what I felt and later heard, Carnival is taking advantage play seriously. They’ve pulled some machines, including ones on Venezia. The first time I went, they had much better AP slots than the next (losing Dancing Drums, in particular, hurt). Further, when I was walking around looking for plays, I often felt watched and…

Whenever I think of this one, I now can only think of that annoying poker player Martin Kabrhel. Casino Royale is a small casino sandwiched between some heavy-hitters. It’s across the street from the old Mirage (now Hard Rock). It’s kind of between a lot of Caesars locations but not quite North enough to the…

This was the site of my biggest slot win to date: a $6 Rich Little Piggies hit for $16,500 or so. But who cares? How are the slots? They are OK. Nothing special, as Park MGM is right in the heart of the MGM/Caesars boulevard of casinos. It’s located near New York-New York and Aria,…

I took this video right before the 2025 World Series of Poker Main Event. This Caesars property is in the middle of the Las Vegas strip, and I’d call it one of the lower-end places looks-wise and rooms-wise. Not bad by any stretch, but not really the glamorous type of place you might associate with…

Symphony of the Seas was an interesting one. The casino was enormous by cruise ship standards, but I ran into a lot of competition, possibly because of that. But since cruise ships sail out from ports all over the world, I wouldn’t want to write off a ship entirely just because I happened to have…
