VegasTripping.com is pleased to announce the winners of their “2nd Annual Best and Worst of Las Vegas Readers Poll Awards – The Trippies.” This is the second year in a row that the site has polled their readers asking them who the best and worst casinos, hotels, shows, and restaurants were – asking them to list them in more than 26 categories.
Readers could also vote on the best blog, podcast or website resource for LV travel info, Person of the Year and pet peeves. The poll takes place over four months, with their readers taking the time to fill out all of the categories, and then everything has to be tallied so that they know who the winners are. The editors of the site weigh in as well, and have “Editor’s Picks” for each category, but their readers really decide the winners.
“Best Overall,” “Best Food,” “Best Poker Room,” and “Best Room Service” all went to one casino – the Bellagio. Their show, Cirque du Soleil’s “O” won “Best Show” as well. Caesars Palace took "Best Casino" and "Best Sportsbook," with Elton John’s headlining at the casino taking “Best Entertainer.” “Best Table Games” and “Best Slots” went to the Golden Nugget and The Palms respectively, with Harrah’s getting the distinction of having the tightest slot machines in town.
For Editor’s Choices, Wynn Las Vegas took top honors, getting "Best Overall," "Best Casino," "Best Room Service,” "Best Food," "Best Rooms," "Best Table Games," etc. – they were the big winner last year as well. They also got “Best Casino Carpet,” something I didn’t even realize people were looking at. As a kind of in memoriam, the now defunct Stardust got “Best Neon Sign,” which is the least the casino could get after 50 years on the strip.
