Finally Going Back To Vegas!

**bob_f_aboc** · 04-12-2008, 09:55 PM

After VEW last year (my first time) I couldn't wait to get back to Sin City! We have just booked our trip for early June. This will be my wife's first time in Vegas.

I welcome any suggestions to inexpensively fill up our 5 days there. Without the expo and classes, I will have an extra 9 hours each day.

The first beer is on me. :cheers: (yes, even for you, Fezz)

I am thinking of going for a trip again there in October. If not, it will not be soon afterward.

Just watched Ocean's 13 again, and makes me fall in love with the City again

that won't cost much or are free...

Take a ride up the Eiffel Tower at night...I think it's $9.00 per person...get on the Bellagio side and watch the water feature.

Just walk through the various casinos and look at the architecture...some wonderful things to see and it doesn't cost a dime.

Yeah, you can get by in Vegas for very cheap. Heck, I spend spend 3 days just walking around the strip

About 3 years ago when I was there, I discovered a small hot dog stand just off the strip that had the best dogs I've ever had. I can't remember the name, but everyone that I talked to knew about it. It's very popular with the big losers as it is a cheap meal late at night.

Lose a lot of money Jacqui?

I remember the last time coming back from Vegas, I was on the plane with someone who has very different political views than mine, was very large, and very vocal. Anyways, she was there for a packaging convention. She told me that her trip was very wisely planned. They rented a car, stayed just off the strip, and spent a whole day at Wal-Mart.

I was going to smack her for wasting a trip to vegas.

You might want to consider purchasing some investment real estate. Prices are at rock bottom maybe 25 cents on the dollar in some cases.

I'm not really into that kind of gambling. But who knows, maybe a lucky day in the casino and I can buy a Vegas flophouse. Anyone showing a valid Optiboard ID gets two free nights.
