Yabbut, there's nothing else there. At any rate, nothing that I want
to see or do.

I had some great meals when I was there, though I didn't get to
plan where to eat since it was a last minute trip (funeral, really,
my one trip to Sin City was for a funeral).

The one thing I wanted to do was a Las Vegas style buffet and
we weren't even competent to find one of those.

Pretty much every casino has one, some better than others. The fancier
the casino, the better the buffet.

Las Vegas is a place you should visit at least once, preferably for a
better occasion than your last visit.

It's the most audacious place on earth and it's in the middle of nowhere. It's a town that shouldn't exist but does! I don't plan on going back there but I'm glad I did. Las Vegas is the place that Hawaiians go to when they want to relax. Strange but true!

Wow! The buffets are everywhere. Hard to avoid.

Venetian is one of the nicer places so you had some decent food.

There are also boat tours on Lake Mead that are interesting and also a
couple of hours to Death Valley.

A while back we were going to LV and I was checking room rates. Just
for the fun of it I plugged in different dates for the same room. It
varied fro $50 on Monday/Tuesday to $500 for New Years Eve. I'd not
want to be there during CES as rates are high and places are crowded.

We used to go once a year for a work meeting and also I have family
there. In about 15 visits I've spent about $50 on gambling. I wonder
why I never get comped on rooms and stuff.

Between that and In n Out, it's not like I was at a loss for
food.

Being there is where I found myself wishing I had a computer
with me when traveling.

Get this: Marriott, right down the street from the CES, rates went
from $150 to $600, every night was different. All depended what was
going on at the show, the popular nights really raised the rates.

I don't play cards, I'm not much of a gambler but I accept that I'm
going to lose money. In AC, sometimes I come home with more than
I had, and I just play poker slots. You can have fun with a few bucks
in AC, but the odds in the big casinos in Vegas, just hand over your
money and save yourself the trouble.

It's an interesting place, I would go again.

Yabbut Vegas has lots more than fine food and the planet's finast
entertainment; many fine museums, great botanical gardens, and a
fantastic planetarium... and that's only the begining... it's a short
trip to Boulder Dam, one of the world's wonders. There's excellent
fishing and all sorts of water sports. If you love to shop it doesn't
get much better. If you enjoy people watching like I do nowhere else
offers better views of the most spectacular boobies on the planet.

It's just not my kind of town. I can see museums and botanical gardens
(really? in the desert?) elsewhere, I hate to shop, and I don't like
people.

I see that smoking is permitted in many public places. That's a
showstopper for me.

My last vacation was a long weekend in San Francisco. That was
very enjoyable. Gosh, has it really been 20 years? We generally
spend our vacations working on the house. This summer I expect
to take a week off to gut the bathroom. Rather than spending my
hard-earned money on ephemera, I spend it on capital improvements.

I can partly agree with you. I've spent many a vacation working on
the house too, but there are times it is better to get away for a few
days. But there is more to life than work.

My guess is you'd also enjoy some of the old buildings with great
architecture. I like to look as some of the details and imagine the
workers doing it. Take a week and head to Europe. Some of the
buildings, churches, museums will blow you away.

Good luck with the bathroom. We did both of ours a couple of years
ago and enjoy it every day. But plan to get away next year.

Oddly enough, since I sit at a desk all day, working with my hands
alongside my husband is like a vacation.

I do like architecture, which is why our vacations (such as they are)
are generally focused on older North American cities.

Why break my 20-year streak? I don't really even like to travel:
planes, trains, automobiles, hotels. I find that really stressful.
DH gets enough of it with his job, so he's pretty content to stay
at home. He's been to Hawaii about four times, and each time I could
have gone along (for at least part of his trip) quite cheaply, and
each time I declined. Once or twice he went to England.

Since I'm such a poophead, and went all negative in this thread, by
way of apology I'll OB FOOD so everybody can see what a pathetic loser I am.

Last night's dinner: faux (very faux) Buffalo wings: grilled chicken breast,
cut into strips and tossed with a little melted butter and hot sauce.
Ranch dressing made by stirring some Hidden Valley mix into a little
labne, with "baby" carrots and celery sticks. Glass of ice water.

I quit buying the overpriced wings years ago. I now eat either eat
buffalo whole chicken or the last time I made them (I think it was
Easter dinner), I had Buffalo chicken thighs. Cooked, tossed with the
butter and hot sauce then with Marie's Blue Cheese dressing to dip in.

I wouldn't eat buffalo wings if they were free. Yesterday I prepared
a 3 1/2 lb family pack of skineless bonless chicken boobs. I take the
time to clean them of all extraneous fat, remove that tendon, and
slice each into three cutlets.... season with s n'p, 'talian herb
blend, and fry in EVOO... served with whole red skined spuds, nuked
and chopped frozen spinach, nuked. The leftovers are in the fridge,
will make very nice sammiches.
