 Review of Desperado @ Bufallo Bills Hotel Casino

Times Ridden: 11 Date Ridden: Numerous times between the summer of 2006 and fall of 2007. I travel out west a great deal from here in GA and each time I take the road from Vegas to LA I always stop in and take a spin on Desperado. The entertainment book in Vegas had a number of buy one ride and get one free so my GF and myself usually take a whirl on it for $3.25 a ride. Thats as good a deal as you are gonna get for rides in Vegas. We will continue to stop in there on our treks across the desert since it is by far the top coaster in the Vegas area.

Desperado is a wonderful hypercoaster with an outstanding view and tons of ejector airtime. Please read the outstanding review below posted by phantomnik if you want a detailed ride account. For me, I have taken my 11 rides on perhaps 6 or 7 different trips and have found the coaster delivers different rides depending on the day. I have had almost unbearable rides in the front of the train and super-smooth rides in the back which goes against everything I have experienced in my coaster travels. Most (particularly hypers) offer smoother rides in the front and more intense rides in the back. There are also times the coaster seems to be going much faster than on other days. I am sure the desert heat plays a large part in the wide range of rides available on this scream machine but since you never really know what you are going to get (and Im sure phantomnik caught it on a great day) Im going with an 8. I have had 9s and maybe even a couple of 10 rides on it and the coaster itself does have a special place in my heart for personal reasons. There is one thing about Desperado that you are guaranteed to get. You will get an exciting ride. Many B and M hypers offer such a smooth ride that intensity is lacking. On Desperado, regardless of how it is running on any particular day, you will get a wild ride. The first drop and the camel backs going across the parking lot are unbelievable fun. Take a trip out to Primm if you are ever in the Vegas area. The food is great, the rooms are cheap, and Desperado is the best coaster there in Nevada. Its worth it.

Truth about the rooms being cheap. We opted for Buffalo Bills on a Saturday night. Got our room for about $90 compared to AT LEAST $200 on the strip... probably more. Good review, I also really enjoyed Desperado. Kicks the crap out of Magnum if you ask me, though it can kick the crap out of the riders too. I wish I could have gotten out there last time I was in Vegas
