Fitz elevator crashes...switch to Golden Nugget?

I saw a story on the newswire about the elevator at Fitzgeralds crashing....injuring three (9 or 10 were in the elevator at the time of the accident). I hope everyone%26#39;s okay. I%26#39;m scheduled to stay there in a few weeks. Rooms are free and my gambling buddy wants to play downtown (he%26#39;s a craps player so bad bj rules don%26#39;t bother him).

I%26#39;m wanting to politely decline the free room at The Fitz and stay at an MGM/Mirage property. But as a compromise to my friend, I%26#39;m considering the Golden Nugget. Does anyone know what it takes to get casino rate there? I%26#39;ll call and ask later today.

I took bridgefan%26#39;s advice and subscribed to Current Blackjack News. It looks like GN has the best shoe game downtown. Much better than Harrah%26#39;s...ALMOST as good as MGMMirage.

It%26#39;s also the best Hotel downtown, if one has to stay downtown.

Wow thats scary- Read on here before about how the elevators there are so painfully slow. If you decide to stay at the GN inquire about the Private Arrangements program when you call. We are staying there in 3 weeks and are using this. I%26#39;m not sure about casino rate but if you like playing there and wish to return, then using this program gives you points that accumulate to a free night. Shona ;-)

I%26#39;m not sure why everyone ignores the El Cortez, but they field several single and double deck 3:2 games. I believe the the single may use a CSM but I know the double didn%26#39;t last Dec.

The only double deck game I found at the Fitz was 6:5.

The elevator crashed! YIKES..

I am sure the evevator will be repaired and inspected to the nth degree by the time you arrive. : - } (think of the lawsuits!)

Golden Nugget is fine. Give them a call and ask for specials over the phone. I would also look for promo codes. If you have a player%26#39;s club card you can likely get a casino rate.

Couldn%26#39;t you also check rates at MGM and play both places. Take a cab downtown for a session or two?

Just some thoughts.

Doc...for cryin%26#39; out loud! Quit talking about the El Co, or we are going to have too many people going there and taking machines from me! LOL

I read the article about the Fitz elevator, and it didn%26#39;t crash. It did drop rapidly and was stopped by the emergency brake. If it crashed, there would have been more than three out of ten injured. I like the Golden Nugget, by the way, and will be there in two months.

Ducky,

STEP AWAY from the ZORRO MACHINE!

(or just warm it up fpr me!) : - }

ohhhhh Zorro! I love the bonus round where he rides accross the screen! whoo hoo
