Note: Ratings and comments now expire after five years.
Thanks to all who have recently submitted additions, updates, ratings and comments to this project. Your efforts help keep this listing current and accurate.
Pains have been taken to eliminate out of date and inaccurate information. Updates and additional recommendations are appreciated.
One point of clarification, to eliminate misunderstandings. This is not a list of places where members of the TG community are known to hang out. This is a list of firms that have been known to give good (or bad) service to the members of the TG community. There are no guarantees that you will encounter any members of the TG community at any of these places at any time.
This list is now automatically regenerated when an addition or change is made. Customer ratings and comments are now included. You may add additional ratings and/or comments if you desire. (Comments that imply that illegal products or services, such as drugs, prostitution, etc., are available will not be posted.)
Firms having no customer/user ratings are indicated "(not rated yet)" and those having less than three customer/user ratings are indicated "Ratings Pending" in the listings below.
Stoplights indicate the following:
|
Personal reports that this is TG-friendly (or at least TG-oblivious) and people have received good service. |
|
Proceed with Caution. People have reported good service, but other factors exist. |
|
It is recommended you take your business elsewhere. |
Please keep in mind that doodoo happens, and nothing is without risk. Venturing out in public, especially in an unfamiliar area, has its own risks, as well as rewards. You have to be willing to accept those risks, as well as reap the rewards. If something bad should happen, please don't blame us, but please pass on the information so others may know.
All firms listed have a physical storefront which is open to the public during their normal business hours.

The first of the many Station properties. Has inexpensive motel type
rooms as well as hotel tower rooms. Buffet is said to have slipped a few
notches recently. (No, wait, Anya says it has recently improved. Film at 11.)
Italian restaurant is surprisingly good. Casino popular with
both visitors and locals.

Last report: 2007-04-28 |
Formerly Aladdin.
As of September 1, 2004, the ownership and management of the Aladdin will be taken over by Planet Hollywood. A rebranding and complete makeover will happen over the next several months. Upgraded to green light again following a visit in November of 2004. Aladdin was a legacy casino-hotel which was completely rebuilt from the ground up in the late 1990's. Walking distance (well, kinda) to many of the other vicinity places such as Paris, Bally's, Bellagio, etc. Has the Desert Passage shopping mall. Good reports for both the hotel and the shops. Several unisex restrooms exist within the hotel, casino, Desert Passage complex.

Rio 3700 W Flamingo 777-7777 |
Last visit: 2008-04-26 |
Some may say that the Rio is "One block from the Strip" but I
say it's the better part of a mile!
Upper-midscale semi-trendy casino-hotel with very nice rooms (they say they are all "suites", I say they are larger rooms), a very good buffet, a fun casino, and a "Show In The Sky" that is indeed entertaining the first few times you see it.

Although we've had DLV people stay here, and I've played here on a few

t-friendly as others in the neighborhood.
Steak house is excellent! Avoid the buffet! (Don't even think of it!) Food is gross with hundreds of screaming kids.
