I was there the second night it opened. I was playing on one of the penny machines and hit a jackpot! Now I have been a BIG fan of Hooters since '83 and call me guilty, but love the whole concept. Now will a hotel/casino survive with the concept...I thought it would in Vegas...Call me an idiot. I even bought stock in Hooters. Ok now back to my experience. You can laugh now and later.

After waiting over an hour, I finally had someone come over to "view" the machine. By now, I had quite an audience, we were all making quite a scene. The tech told me that there was something wrong with the machine and that I indeed had not won, even though it showed on the machine that I had and that I had "witnesses to the fact. His supervisors and other suits came over to "witness" the machine. I had someone take a picture of the machine for me. I spoke to management on duty as well. My big jackpot reward was dinner at Marino's Restuarant (really not that good for the price and even worse for free. Never went back after all the time I lived in Vegas 4 years in time). Was give $100 in free play (Had over $5K in winnings on the machine!)on my Hooter's Card! and some player points. And eventually given more free food to eat at Hooters' Restuarant after futher complaints to Hooters' main office. Was told that they were having "problems" with the machines during the Opening.

So if this is just a tip of what they did/do for customer service...they will not be missed by me and that they get what they deserved. At least the local Vegas girls were friendly!

Let me first say that I feel sorry for all of those families that live in the area! But I too lived not too far away from this area and I too saw this type of actions happening before I left Vegas. It is sad to see neighborhoods go down so quickly. Good luck Vegas! I do wish you luck, you have/had some great neighborhoods.

OK: THIS IS FOR: By LT2LV AND ANYONE ELSE...LOL

"So gorespawn, are you still living in Las Vegas? If so, why don't you leave if this place is so far beneath you? No one is making you stay here. Move to DC and have fun dodging the bullets whizzing by your head, or back to Chicago and enjoy the -23F wind chills. Bye!"

NOW LETS BE FAIR ON BOTH PARTS...OK
FIRST FOR THE RECORD AND FOR ANYONE..WHO MIGHT HAVE "FIGURED" OUT WHO I AM. I AM CURRENTLY LIVING IN DC(4TH GENERATION) I LIVED IN VEGAS FOR 4 1/2 YEARS UP UNTIL AUGUST OF 2008 AND FOR THE RECORD AND FOR ALL OR ETERNITY OR TILL THE END OF THE INTERNET..LOL MAN I LOVED LIVING IN VEGAS! I HOPE AND PRAY I MAKE IT BACK ONE DAY.

NOW FOR VEGAS: I HAD TO COME BACK EAST DUE TO SEVERE ILLNESS OR I WOULD HAVE STAYED...VEEGAS HAS/HAD ALL(EXCEPT MY TYPE OF MEDICAL CARE)I EVER WANTED...OH YEA EMPLOYMENT,AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR THE SICK...BUT THAT IS FOR ANOTHER DAY. AND THERE IS HASH-A-GO-GO IN VEGAS..MY FAVORITE PLACE TO EAT ANYWHERE.

NOW FOR/ ABOUT DC: AS I WROTE THIS, I LIVE IN WARD 7 (THINK THE AREA AROUND LAKE MEAD AND SUNRISE...NOT THE RICH SECTION! PLUS NO MOUNTAINS..WHAT A VIEW FROM SUNRISE) AND I AM NOT AND HAVE NOT HAD TO DUCK FOR BULLETS FLYING PAST OR NEAR MY HEAD. AND THERE ARE PARTS JUST AS BAD AND JUST AS GREAT VEGAS ALSO.

And EVERY place has its +/-'s and if you are going to "sale" the place...be honest.

Now if you want to leave then go...it will leave more room for me when I return...but be don't tell only one side of it...just leave~ They won't miss you~

Something...does not smell right with this story,maybe the CHEESE IS BAD! TIME TO GET RID OF IT. Seems like this is a no brainer!
But I know, 13 doesn't want to ruffle a few feathers of their viewers...but lets not even let the wind blow the feathers..fair is fair

TO VEGADBD and TO ALL THOSE WHO OTHERWISE BELIEVE THAT OBAMA IS THE GREAT "SAVIOR".

Now explain to me how he did this ... I mean since he has only been in office only a week (at the time of this comment.) Now we ALL PRAY for a change in the new administration....but get real, HE HAD NOTHING WHAT SO EVER TO DO WITH THIS! AND YOU KNOW THIS IS THE TRUTH!

MAN YOUR COMMENTS DO MAKE ME LAUGH THOUGH...THANKS..KEEP THE FUNNIES COMING.
