Dunno for sure but I would definitely check the half-price outlets at Hawaiian Marketplace and the giant Coke bottle, across from NYNY. Somebody on the LVA forum said some outfit was giving away free tickets to Vegas locals to fill up the seats (local I.D. required).

I found it far less scarey than most roller coasters and a lot of fun.

Wee are plat. card holders so easy checkin and got a great room facing out towards the Belliago fountain. Proceeded to gamble ( found decent VP over in the left hand corner of the frontby the bar) and usually stay at the Flamingo, but found Ballly’s just right as the suite was big and roomy. Friday night we went to see Spama lot ( 69 buck tickets) and laughed our butts off. Joined their club got the required 100 points for two free buffets
anytime we wanted( more later). Sat was family day, and dinner was at the Paris Mon Ami, which had excellant service and great food.

Sunday monring was check in to the Golden Nugget( downtown can you see the fact we where, local casino, strip and finally downtown) where the line  for check in was huge, so I went over to the South entrance and there was no line , easy check in. I must admit I would nopt stay again in the south end because:1- it’s a walk ( not as great as anyone
who does strip hotels can tell you…) and 2- the rooms are small( I wonder how they ever got a 4 star rating…). Dinner that night was at PF Chang’s ( my mom’s favorite, on Paradise) and everyone love the food and service. We proceeded back downtown where the C&W shows where going on from both stages…We usually gamble at Freemont( love the VP there) and moved back anf forth between both places. The Nugget’s new pool is awesome with a slide going through the shark tank, open til late at night and one could just hang out and relax there under the stars. The pool has chasie louges in the water which is very cool for those that want to sunbathe but we just avoid the sun as regulars do until later in the day. Monday was dinner at the Wynn and buffet lione moved quickly and in our eyes was one of the the top three to go to( Bellagio and Paris being the other two). Not being much for buffets, the food was ample and prepared right, along with many tasty desserts.

Tuesday got a father and son thing at the Stage for the lunch special ( 1/2 sand and soup…yummm) then  that nioght over to the El Cortez (my wife had never been there) for some gambling and drinking. On the way back over to the Martini bar in the Side Car( next to lady luck) rated the best in vegas and it was! Follwed by much gambling into Wed. morning. Check out and off to rental return but first mom wanted to have luch with us at Metro pizza on Decatuer and as usual, it was great( their lucheon speical of a salad and small pie is wonderful). A quick stop at the outlet malls on the south side ( near the return
rental area) and one qucik bite at the bootlegger bistro ( no ellis this time….sorry)then home on a nonstop.

In summary, I would do the trip exactly the same, exept I discovered the following: Bills place is a poor casino as a replacement for Barbary coast, one could see that Harrah’s is ready to blow it up. Hopefully I’ll post more on the next trip soon…..

More Las Vegas Trip Reports 

After spending last weekend together in Las Vegas, Cameron Diaz is back in Sin City visiting new hookup, illusionist Criss Angel.

After arriving in town Friday afternoon, Diaz and Angel dined at Social House restaurant in the Treasure Island Hotel, reports People magazine.

The couple arrived for dinner at 6:30 p.m. and took a spot in the restaurant’s lounge chatting over drinks before retreating to a private dining room overlooking The Strip.

The two sat across from one another as the meal began, but ended up sitting next to each other by the end of the meal.

After a really long evening of dinner, drinks and flirting, the couple headed over to Pure around midnight, where they were seen cuddling in the VIP area drinking wine and whispering into each other’s ear, sources tell the mag.

Around 1:15 A.M., the pair headed to Body English at the Hard Rock for more partying and then they probably went back to their hotel room and farted in each others’ faces while videotaping themselves.

How romantic!

While many Americans will be taking an extended holiday throughout the end of December, construction crews at Las Vegas Motor Speedway will be hard at work.

Workers are in the midst of LVMS’ most ambitious construction project in years as they continue building the Neon Garage and new media center. Work began on the project immediately following the March 12 UAW-DaimlerChrysler 400 and will be completed in time for the March 9-11, 2007 NASCAR Weekend.

I’m trying to find a good fix for my Las Vegas book obsession and I am having a tough time deciding which title to read next.

I’ve read Mezrich’s collection and recently read a travel book entitled “Las Vegas Little Black Book: A Guy’s Guide to the Perfect Vegas Getaway”.  I’d save your money on this one as it comes across as a commercial for the TI in my opinion, although it is enteraining at times and a nice short read at just over 200 pages.  The book stresses the importance of optimizing time while in Vegas, having a set plan and sticking to it, taking command of your group - basically being the vacation nazi.  I can’t say that I totally disagree with the advice given but the recommendations come across as a tad superficial and the tone of the authorv is often conceited.

So what will be my next book?  I’ll allow the fine literary critics of AVLV to choose for me.  I’ve also been considering “Super Casino”.

Thanks.
