Just remember that the monorail hasn't had a wonderful record of working since it officially openned. Something about parts falling off and landing on Paradise Road. If you are looking for inexpensive in Las Vegas a couple of ideas that might help you. First, try a package of airfare and lodging. Se...

The way I do it is very simple, I plan my vacation around Jimmy's shows. I generally will take a week off during his swing through the West and hit as many shows as possible. I don't worry about the number of days off since I have something like 6 weeks of PTO stockpiled. As for money, well, I save ...

Actually Steve Wynn doesn't run the town anymore, not since he lost control of the Mirage, TI, the Bellagio, etc. He's 3rd or 4th now instead of #1. What impresses me about Mr. Wynn is that is legally blind due to a degenerative eye diease that is slowly but surely destroying his eyesight. Perhaps t...

Melissa really needs to get better reps, in 7 pages they've only managed to come up with a couple of potential applicants. It strikes me as a rather slow moving group. However I will commend them for hijacking this thread! :lol:

I just called my contact at the MGM to see if she could get me a deal on rooms on either of those weekends and she told me that those are "red flag" dates which means a big show will be in the arena on those dates and thus she won't be able to give me a deal on the rooms. :cry:

I have been to every opening, including in 1977 when my two buddies and I cut out from school and went to see it. There were only 30 or 40 people in a 1300 seat theater for the 1st show. We sat through the 2nd showing and there were probably 200 to 300. We walked out at the end of it and there was a...

Well, my keet and I went to see Jimmy in San Jose on Saturday night and I have to admit that we were both impressed with the seats at the arena. However all we can conclude is that soft seats results in a great many people sitting through the entire show. We were even told to sit down by the people ...
