Gee, TIS, it sounds like you're looking for an excuse to return to NY. Which we would love, by the way. It seems that your name comes up every time I get together with these guys, and only in the best way, so come on back!!!
I have to honestly say that anything as far as LV or CA would require an extended vacation for me, and that means that I would not be able to make it (kids, those pains). Or I'd have to bring them, which would definitely cut down on the fun, for me AND them.
