I'm taking the wife and kids to Vegas in August. And as soon as we get our rental car, we're getting the hell out of there. North Rim bound.

Smart move. Just don't walk the sidewalks with the kids.

Actually, the people you have to watch out for are the timeshare salesmen, given the state of the economy I can only imagine they've gotten more desperate.

I never had porn cards thrust at me. I think the hucksters knew the cops would come down on them. All of the ones I saw stood by intersections and flicked the cards. They would only thrust them at you if you looked interested.

This was almost two years ago, so maybe they've also gotten more desperate.

Jinx,

I always enjoyed the Flamingo Buffet. The food is at least as good as a decent diner, and you really can't go wrong with 50 pounds of shrimp on ice, which is one of the first things you see when you go in. There are better, more expensive, and classier places, but for the price I found it very good, and I didn't need to drive to it.

Rimming in Vegas? That brings back memories.

BTW Ducks, if you can make it to Vegas for the GTG feel free to bring the wrecking crew with you. You never did put up any pictures.

There is a very good reason for that!!

You know the rule


It was fantastic, if we could afford it we were going to make it a yearly thing... the amount of money we dumped at that place was ridiculous, we had a ball.

I dont recall what the sidewalks looked like, or sun for the whole time we were there.

Rules are made to be broken. You can always PM me.

I highly recommend restaurant.com, tix4tonight, and staying away from the gaming tables as a good way to save money in Vegas.
