Looking forward to Vegas.....NOT looking forward that this is day 11 at work and I have 2 more days to go!
UGH! Hang in there! That's a lot of days in row to work.

I am doing the thursday arrival monday departure thing too. Staying at the flamingo. Will be great to see you again :-)!

OMG the New Tower at the Golden Nugget is freaking awesome, just posted all the photos on my facebook page... The adult pool and 3 new Bars have made it into an awesome new place to go if you have never been there. Cabo Wabo, Margaritavile, Emeril's, Hugo Cellar all were big winners. There is a ton of new constuction going on, so the econmy in Vegas is picking up the Housing market is still in the dumps out there.

I'm going to be a Wednesday arrival and Monday departure gal this year. At first, I thought of leaving LV on Sunday, but the thought of getting up early on Sunday morning after partying on Saturday night does not appeal to me.

Leaving Las Vegas on Sunday is a nightmare at the airport, late Monday is the right way to go...

If it was '08 it was Hooters, and I think there's some speculation about whether it will even still be open in October.

If people were organized and I had a list of proper names, I would be happy to work my skills to see what I get. But a good deal of people have players cards and get better rates.

Just try....I know it cost to call from London - but try, operators work 24/7 in Vegas

Hmm. It's been a couple of years since I've hit up Vegas for Buffett. Something to strongly consider this year.

Thursday thru Monday Too! Even though I am driving not flying, sitting for hours in traffic on the 15 is not how I envision my morning after :wink: 8)

Any good single seats left? I'm kind of waiting until June (plus I already booked a trip through my "travel agent" for August for 3 people....)

In any case I SHOULD get in the building because sell outs are rare if they happen... But I haven't gotten the room yet? Flamingo still available?
