The Total Vegas app by Caesars Entertainment covers all 11 Caesars properties in Las Vegas. The app gives a brief summary of each hotel and every restaurant, show and activities on each property. Additionally you can book rooms and check your Total Rewards players club points. This knocks out the need to carry an each for each hotel on your phone.

It would be nice if MGM Resorts could do this for their properties and players club since they also have many Vegas properties. Overall, while not the smoothest app Total Vegas is chock full of information for all Caesars properties. Unfortunately it’s only Caesars properties, but there’s always Vegas Mate if you want info on all Vegas properties.

Good: All Caesars info in one app, including Total Rewards
Bad: Clunky, kind of slow
Indifferent: Not so fancy

Total Vegas is FREE.  See the specs below.

Put the Caesars Entertainment lifestyle in the palm of your hand with the Total Vegas Mobile app. It’s a must-have for Sin City enthusiasts, both while planning your next visit and while you’re in Las Vegas.

With all the Caesars Entertainment Las Vegas properties in one app you can peek into our rooms on all the properties and make a reservation, find out about all of our world-renowned restaurants and book your table, check out all the clubs and hot spots, see who is playing in Las Vegas and book your tickets, and much more!

Not sure how to join Total Rewards or know how to play all the table games? Want to check out the latest offers? Not sure how to “Stay Connected” with the properties? Need a map to find your way around? Just open the Total Vegas app and everything you need to know is at your fingertips.

The Total Vegas app is GPS enabled and will allow you to find the venues and activities closest to you while in Las Vegas. You choose the way you want to view information – by location, property, alpha, price, cuisine type…etc.

The Total Vegas Mobile application is a travel companion that can elevate your trip from ordinary to legendary. Download it for free today.

Triple Trouble Poker is a video poker game from Bally Technology, who brought us the Bally’s Vegas Hits app earlier this year. It’s always fun to play casino games before heading to Vegas and Triple Trouble Poker is no different. The game is fun and is FREE for the next month. The game goes up to $1.99 after.

The graphics are good and the game is quick and easy to play. That said, once Triple Trouble Poker becomes a pay game I would take my money for game apps and spend it on WinPoker since I can learn the strategy behind playing video poker. If you don’t care about playing right Triple Trouble Poker is definitely for you.

Good: Fun
Bad: Doesn’t teach you strategy
Indifferent: Free today, $1.99 in a month.

Triple Trouble Poker is FREE but will be $1.99 in 30 days.  See the specs below.

Description

Not all deals from devils are bad, especially, when it comes to the three little devils dealing up the action in Bally’s latest mobile application Triple Trouble Poker!

Experience the clever Triple Trouble Bonus Feature! Triggered any time 3 Red Devils randomly appear on the screen you are awarded 3 free games plus 3 times the amount bet on the triggering hand. During the feature all pays are 3 times their normal value. If 3 Red Devils appear during the free games you are awarded 9 times the amount bet on the triggering hand and all pays are multiplied by 9 times for the triggering hand.
Playing a single poker hand, with a 52 card deck, this application is a fun way to practice your poker game as you prepare yourself for the live action tables or poker slot machines in your favorite casino.

Game Center functionality deals up the social excitement as players race to earn achievements or compete for the bragging rights of top score.

Take the fast dealing action of poker with you everywhere you go for hours of entertaining enjoyment! Purchase Triple Trouble Poker today!

It was a big week as ECG transitioned to AC2LV. The site isn’t totally done, but I’m getting there. My development time has been looking at another new site, which I hope to announce shortly. I’m pretty stoked that the transition went smoothly and ready to move forward with things for all of the sites. Speaking of all of the sites, check the fun from the week.

As we usher in a new contributor for ECG, it’s exciting to say that this will be the last Week In Review for East Coast Gambler.net. After the new holiday a new chapter for ECG will begin. We’ll have the same content with a shorter URL and (hopefully) better functionality while keeping the same east meets west content. I’ve been thinking about making this switch for a while, but haven’t had the patience to do it. There will be a couple more exciting announcements in the upcoming weeks, but this is it for today.

We’ll be back atcha next week with all the good new stuff. For now, let’s check the week that was.

Vegas Way is one of the better, more known, apps for traveling to Las Vegas. While it’s not an app made only for Vegas (there’s also a New York version called NYC Way), it does the trick by having a lot of info. You can gather info on free things to do as well as where to get wifi. The main thing missing here is user interaction. It’s nice to know if people have a specifically good or bad experience somewhere. That’s the main downfall. If you just want the info this has it.

Good: Lots of info.
Bad: No ratings or input from others a la Rate Vegas.
Indifferent: Not special as the same app is re-focused for other cities.

Vegas Way is $1.99 for iPhone, iPad and iPod. See the specs below.

Another week in Vegas where I realize I still don’t know where I’m going. I got lost multiple times this week.

Motley Crüe's first rock 'n roll residency opened last Friday at The Joint inside the Hard Rock. The Crüe promised to transform the Hard Rock's casino floor into a carnival and influence its restaurant menus before delivering a Cirque meets rock show never before seen. Expectations were set for a mind-blowing epic performance for the ages. So which Cirque show did we witness on opening night: a LOVE-fest or an 'I can't Believe I spent money for that' crap-fest?

The carnival atmosphere didn't quite consume us entering the casino. Red bunting and Motley Crüe ads hung above the center bar while a couple clowns and stilt walkers posed for pictures near

Not Pictured: Jake Pavelka

Here we go again! Chippendale's has found another sucker reality show celeb to do a guest-hosting stint for the male revue at Rio Las Vegas -- Jake Pavelka of "The Bachelor." (Crickets.)

Pavelka will be hosting the show for a month, but if it's anything like the appearance of Ronnie from the Jersey Shore, he won't be doing much except saying hi at the beginning of the show, picking out girls to come up on stage for one of the skits and fist-pumping with the naked men at the end. Ok, maybe that last bit was just for Ronnie.

So he won't be stripping, but judging by Google Images, he

We love Las Vegas and part of that is loving Las Vegas’ history. So while we enjoy telling you what we love about Vegas and keeping you up-to-date on what's going on, we would like to take some time to look back at Vegas past. Today, we continue a monthly series on shuttered (but not forgotten) Las Vegas hotels and casinos. We hope you enjoy the stroll down memory lane.

The Stardust was the brainchild of Tony Cornero in 1954. He envisioned a Las Vegas resort that, unlike the Flamingo and Desert Inn, could appeal to the masses, not just high rollers. His design would be a property that would take up 40 acres, accommodate meeting space for 25-100

There's a new gay nightspot in town. And, its been here since November. You might not have heard of it yet, though, because it's located off, off the Strip in an area of Las Vegas that's more industrial than hotspot in nature.

SHARE Nightclub will host its grand opening on March 3 and E! Entertainment's Ross Matthews, among others, will help shine the spotlight on its arrival to the Vegas nightlife scene:

Additional, confirmed guests include Carson Kressley, Jai Rodriguez, Ronnie Kroell, Angel Porrino, Josh Strickland and Laura Croft from E! Entertainment's TV hit "Holly's World," Penn and Teller, Josh Flagg and Madison Hildebrand with Bravo's "Million Dollar Listing," "Tabatha Salon Takeover's" Robby LaRiviere, Mike Ruiz

The Big Six Wheel plays a large part in our history of gambling. When we turned 21, and were legally allowed to gamble at the casinos, the first game we played was the Big Six Wheel. We won a bunch of money and we were stoked! Drinks were on us. That was the only time we ever won playing the Big Six Wheel.

As we learned more about gambling, we found out that it was one of the worst games in the casino for the gambler. The house edge for the Big Six Wheel is as low as 11% and as high as 24%, depending on how much money is wagered. By comparison, you'll find many
