Criteria: places I love for various reasons

1. Riviera - my home away from home. I love the old Vegas feel of the place. The Splashbar. Close to Circus Circus steakhouse and I DON'T have to stay at Circus Circus!
2. Tropicana - older Vegas on the strip. Met a lot of friends at my first few conventions there!
3. Jerry's Nugget - may not count, but love the $1 craps table
4. Barbary Coast - I have had great luck gambling here. Centrally located.
5. Four Queens - my favorite downtown haunt.
6. Golden Gate - shrimp cocktails and I've had great luck gambling there
7. Flamingo - my first stay in Vegas
8. Palms - chipper friendly and a Coffee Bean/Tea Leaf in the back
9. Palace Station - low table limits, cheap yet decent buffet
10. Las Vegas Hilton - three words: Warp Core Breach!

Honorable Mention: Hard Rock, Hooters, MGM Grand
