Season 3, Episode 7 – The Wheel of Misfortune

Dan, Matt, and Burt plan a trip to Las Vegas and leave it to chance when determining where to stay. They put the town’s weirdest hotels on a wheel, and spun it to see where the gang would lay their heads each night. Hotels were chosen for consideration based on the likelihood that when you see them in booking engines you asked yourself, “What the hell is that place?”

This episode previews the weird hotel, and includes all the wheel-spinning action that determined who would stay where during our dog days of August quest into the broiler known as Vegas.

Wheel of Misfortune - Neon Gutter
So many weird hotel choices, and so little time. And so little desire to stay at some of them… but you should.
Ahern Hotel Standard Double
The standard double at the Ahern has been given a name that adequately captures its essence.
Ahern Hotel red bathroom
If you stab someone to death in an Ahern bathroom, nobody’s going to notice the blood.
Razzle Dazzle at the Ahern Hotel
The Ahern offers a full slate of exciting entertainment including “The Razzle Dazzle of Music.” The production values put the emphasis on value!
Downtowner Las Vegas Bunk Bed room
The Downtowner Hotel has rooms with bunk beds. How many Vegas hotels do you know like that? Maybe because cramming a bunch of drunk dudes into one room isn’t such a hot idea.
Downtowner Las Vegas Golf Course
The Downtowner promises six exciting holes on its mini-golf course tucked into the center of the property. A perfect way for those drunk dudes sharing the bunk bed room to get some fresh air and puke.
Lobby at the Serene Hotel
Guests at the Serene Hotel can spend hours in the lobby, sitting on this sofa, starting at the vending machines.
Serene Hotel Buffet Breakfast
The Serene Hotel offers an all-you-can-eat feast each morning that may include up to three (3) steam trays. Of course, it ain’t free.
Guest of the Serene Hotel have told TripAdvisor that maybe the hotel isn’t quite as nice as they were expecting.
Wheel of Misfortune - Neon Gutter
“We have a winner!” says our wheel of misfortune. But, do we really?
Silver Sevens Hotel Deluxe King
Deluxe is a word that could potentially be used to describe the “Deluxe King” room at the Silver Sevens.
Seven Sins Bar at Silver Sevens Hotel
The Silver Seven Hotel invites you to indulge at the “Seven Sins Bar.” We can’t remember; is loneliness one of the seven sins?
Dennys at Silver Sevens
The Silver Sevens has decided to leave the cooking to the professionals. Its only dining option is a Denny’s.
Spin the wheel? Where will it land? In the penthouse or the outhouse?
Fontainebleau Hotel Room
We don’t expect this view from our very cheap Fountainebleau deal, but we sure hope there’s this many gew-gaws that we can sneak into our luggage.
Fontainebleau Las Vegas High Roller Room
While we definitely won’t be gambling in the Fontainebleu’s high limit salon, we certainly will be relieving ourselves in its bathrooms.
Fontainebleau Las Vegas Pool
We’ll also be relieving ourselves here, in the Fountainebleau’s expansive pools.
