Yeah, and we can all order sandwiches from that shop you were telling me about... what was it called? The place with all the crude sandwich names?

Ummm... otay!

Wait, outside of what? Ohio is way too far for you??

Blibble, its Are U Hungry.. and their star sandwich is the "Fat Bitch" haha


Geoff, you'll be sleeping outside my house. On the grass, with the slugs and the crickets. And the "good grass" will be inside

And no, Ohio isn't too far, but thats a whole TWO years away. Although, Vegas could be fun. Especially since I'll be 21 by then

Some shit isn't funny... perhaps bannable!

Which part?

..if I learn the casino business does that mean I can bang cocktail waitresses two at a time?

The Molinari family will guarentee your safety. Just don't go for any massages while in Vegas.

Unless they're in the privacy of your own room.

That's one thing my daughter just had to do. She loves to get massages. She went to the place in the Bellagio and it cost her $160 for what 45 min or so. To me, I'd rather throw my money in a slot machine or blackjack table. For her it was wonderful. Go figure. Everyone is different.

Back to the 08 meet. I have often thought (especially after I retire) that visiting larger cities in each state would be nice. Just to see what are like. I mean I'd be open for a different city each year. I've never been to so many states and wonder what some of the cities are like. Of course, you'd need time (not to mention money) :p. Of course, I'm certainly not complaining about Vegas.

TIS

Well according to the tv you have to make cocktail waitresses two at a time

Vegas is good. Someone should check out sites that offer group travel... you can get some amazing deals. Either that or we buy Moe Green out.

No need to. We just buy him a Red Ryder BB rifle. He'll shoot his eye out!

No need for the Red Ryder BB rifle either. All he needs is the plastic stirrers from the martini bar.

What's the point in shooting him anyway?All he'll do afterwards is slowly put his head back down and go to sleep.

Which head are you talking about, and where is he putting it down?

Just throwing "random" thoughts out there. If Vegas is decided for next year, would you all still want to go in the summer???

It makes no difference to me, but for those who don't know the temps will be well into the 100's for sure. On the plus side, rates are cheaper and it's not as busy. Just wondering.

I do know you can get group rates. I'm not sure of the number of rooms though. Could be 10+.

Anyone jump in.

TIS

P.S. There's always New Year's Eve. I've always wanted to go to Vegas on New Year's Eve. Rooms are a fortune though.

Do they have Vodka in Vegas?

Thats all I need answered.

Not for YOU they don't!!

TIS, with all the air conditioning, the heat personally wouldn't bother me. And it cools down at night, doesn't it??

Summer is best for me and the Col. If Vegas is the place this year We will have to work our family vacation into it.

SB,

When we were there a few weeks ago it was '107 at night. And that was around 8:30-9:00 when we were out walking the strip. The heat didn't bother me to much.

When I was there last month it was about 104 or so during the day. It cooled down at night to about 85/90. It's a dry heat, but hot is hot!!! For some reason I've always been able to take the heat more than the cold, so I don't have a problem with it. I don't know how some others (especially the men) might feel.

And yes my little DMC there most definitely is Vodka in Vegas and if you're gambling a while, you will likely get your vodka drinks for free.


TIS

Not for nothing Mrs. R, but I definitely like TIS' answer better

I have no problems with the heat, is there a lot to do outside or it it mostly all inside?

Mostly inside. The casinos are plenty but on the strip in 100 degree heat they are more spaced out than it appears and you do get very hot. Yet you can go into any building (most likely small casino, bar, gift shop, etc, restaurant) to cool off. You wouldn't want to spend an entire day in the heat. Trust me, inside would be preferable.

Downtown would be a must and though not as preferable as the strip, the casinos are very very close to each other and with the Fremont Experience ceiling, it's not as hot. Like I say, it doesn't bother me either, but just thought I'd throw it out there.


TIS

TIS, what is the Fremont Experience ceiling?

The last time I was in Vegas was in 2005. I was there for the July 4th holiday for a week. It was 108 degrees in the day and like 90 -95 degrees at night.

During the day we would stay by the pool. All the hotel pools in vegas have cabanas that you can rent that usually have waitress service.

You'd be surprised between going in the pool and staying under that cabana how the heat really doesn't bother you.


I have a son who is graduating High school next June and will be getting ready to go into college. So until I know for sure what college he is going to and when he may have to leave, I cannot make a definite commitment to going to Vegas. Not just yet.

Ha ha! Mig it's actually called "The Freemont Experience" which is in downtown Vegas where. If you recall from old pictures, is where the Golden Nugget, The Four Queens and some older popular hotels are. Night time is "the" time to be there. The lights are unbeleiveable. You use to be able to drive down Freemont St. but some years ago they made a cover over the street (I just called it ceiling for lack of a better word) and prohibited any cars from driving down the street. Every half hour they have a 15 minute light show with music and everyone goes in the street and looks at a musical extravaganza.

I'll try to get a picture of downtown Vegas. I'm sure it'll ring bells when you see it. Someone else will probably beat me to it.

TIS

I've never been to the downtown area. Is it a safe area?

The street is closed in by a ceiling! Look closely!

TIS and Lori took me there... its an awesome show!!! Its multi-media and very fast paced... it gets ya goin!!

Hey!! Wasn't Vegas YOUR idea on Saturday night???

Mig,

It's safe on Freemont street itself and the lights truly do turn night time into daytime. You wouldn't want to venture outside the downtown area, and you'd wouldn't be able to walk to it from the strip without going through undesirable/unsafe areas. You'd need to take a cab or shuttle. Or you could do what my daughter and I did and take the "Duece" (if you recall our experience.)

I liked it last month cause the casinos were closer together and with the heat that was a plus. However, downtown must be seen at night.

I wish they would have never gotten rid of that old Golden Nugget sign though.
