Las Vegas,
 in a heartbeat!
VEGAS
Call the hotels there and ask about packages and best prices. They used to give you freebies, like your hotel is free even. Go to places like the Rio online or NewYork NewYork, and others too numerous to mention. The Rio used to have killer free deals and I loved it there, had a suite with two bedrooms and a living room, a bar, etc. That would help you pay for your plane tickets if they still have deals like that.
he's got many, Vegas now too....
I am in Miami- South Beach has one and I think he's opening one in Fort Lauderdale, has one in Orlando, the Big Easy (NOLA), now Gulfport MS since 11/06, Vegas, probably several in California - he's on a HUGE roll.....*bankroll* *LOL*
Las Vegas
We get a lot people who come for the holidays to get away from the cold weather. 
Just in Vegas about a month ago
Go there a lot, the Flamingo is catty-corner to the Bellagio where we have stayed the last 2 times there. Know where it is because I went to a show there. Older place, smoky, they have real flamingos out in the back with ducks, etc, been there but not to stay. Toni Braxton headlining there and George Wallce comedian there now. Know what I talk about.
No more charters to Las Vegas?!
I was just told by a travel agent that there are no longer charters to Las Vegas. Is this everywhere or just from Dallas? I can't hardly believe that they would just totally cut them out. I wanted to take my son to Monster Jam Finals in March and the lowest price I could get for 2 adults/2 children is $1552 for only 2 nights
No mor charters to Vegas
Hi, Not sure where you are in Texas, but Allegiant Air flies from Laredo and McAllen to Vegas and they are a WONDERFUL airline -- the flights are nonstop, however, they do not fly every day of the week and they also post the fares on the days you plan to travel, so there is no 14 day or 21 day advance purchase involved.
Also, regarding a hotel, not sure how long you plan to be there but I would check out Budget Suites -- for a week, it would run you no more than $200 and includes full kitchen facilities as well.
I used Allegiant when I flew from Las Vegas to Illinois and I left Vegas at 6:00 a.m. and got to Illinois at 11:30 a.m. Central time, they then clean the plane and deadhead back to Vegas. The last time I used Allegiant, I was able to get a one way fare on Christmas Day for $19 -- with taxes, my ticket came out to $40, so it might be worth it to check it out
Hope this helps.
It's within a few hours of Las Vegas I believe
and 35 years ago when I lived in Vegas - Pahrump was a very, very small town - probably just a dot on the map - maybe not even a stop light - think I heard recently on some travel show that it had grown - but then again most all Nevada towns lately have.
Considering there are cameras everywhere in Vegas -sm
if it was him it is sure to be on tape at the hotel. Hopefully the man is not that s*t*u*p*i*d to do such a thing, but who knows, who cares really. It would be quite ironic if he got locked up on a burglery charge though.
Vegas scary?
My husband and I visit all the time- he has nights when he goes where he wants and I go where I want- I love the shows, he does not- we split up and OMG, I am a woman all by myself out on the streets of Vegas… I am scaring myself! People are all over the streets day and night- I feel completely safe, probably safer than in my home town. Why scare someone??
Vegas trip

Vegas Vacation
"haven't seen a beatin' like that since somebody stuck a banana in my pants and turned a monkey loose."
My cousin went to Vegas for her
second marriage with just her brother and sister-in-law as attendants, then had a reception when they got back.
Trip to Vegas : ) Yipee!

Sopranos show in Vegas
Has anyone been to this show? Going to Vegas in the spring and thinking of seeing this show. We're very big Sopranos fans. Just wondering if anyone has seen it or knows anyone who has and what they thought. TIA.
OK, I'm not a Sopranos fan, but a show in Vegas?
a
Saw John Edwards in Las Vegas
not that thrilled, no time for most of the audience, accepted very few questions from very few folks so would have felt better if more able to participate than say 4 or 5 for the total time.
Where to stay in Vegas and what to do in Phoenix...sm
DH will be on a business trip to Phoenix from Nov 1-16 and I am going too. Have a laptop so will work from the hotel, but need some suggestions as to places to visit while we are there. We have already been to the Grand Canyon. We are going to the NASCAR races the middle weekend. Also, need some suggestions for places to stay in Vegas, haven't been there in years. We will be there 2 nights. Thanks!
Vegas, The Ghost Whisperer, and yes,
I love America's Next Top Model too. I actually love a lot of reality shows. I'm also looking forward to January when American Idol starts again, and I watch all the VH1 Reality shows.
Hoku/Vegas trip..see above..nm

Where to Stay in Las Vegas PhillyChick...sm
Just wanted to add my 2 cents! We usually stay with my sis when we go to Vegas, but in the past two years we have stayed at the MGM and New York, New York. I really liked the MGM - lots to see inside the casino. We aren't gamblers. The first room we were given at the MGM was very small so we asked for a different room and we got it. Things I like to do in Vegas: visit the Fashion Show Mall on the strip {across the street from Treasure Island}, the Bellagio - the dancing waters, the Forum shops, Eiffel Tower and the shops at the Paris, Fremont Street Experience - the light show is great!, and try to find Elvis impersonators! Nothing can compete with a Nascar Race - I'm envious - but have you been to Sedona, AZ? It is beautiful! About a 2 hour drive from Phoenix - I think. And Jerome, AZ, on the way to Sedona is an old western town that is fun too. Oh, almost forgot, "The District" in Green Valley in Henderson {suburb of Vegas} is a neat place to go to shop also. It is about 20 minutes from the Strip - very easy to get to. Have a great time at the Nascar Race and a great trip!
You're right! I did see carpet like that in Vegas! sm
Yours looks a lot nicer!
These are my two most favorites, but I prefer the CSI in Vegas...sm
I think Grissom is awesome!
Hotel Flamingo in Vegas and in Phoenix
my cousins who live in Scottsdale AZ used to own Theater in the Round in Phoenix for decades......used to be Broadway shows, then rock concerts, and today I don't know what they show there....
also, 4 sets of mountains surround Phoenix (and Tucson for that matter) - GREAT hiking and lots of things to check out in that regard!!!
HAVE LOTS OF FUN......don't forget!!! 
I'm giving mine a trip to Vegas

bookingbuddy.com showing cheap Vegas flights
Try www.bookingbuddy.com I just got an email from them a few days ago, and Vegas was one of the cities they were highlighting as having fares on sale right now.
Off to Vegas to meet up with my best friend from high school. sm
I have not seen or heard from her since our 30-year-old sons were babies. Then we found each other again on Classmates.com and arranged this little vacation. Tonight I will see her after all these years. I'm concerned that I won't have much to say (I'm a very quiet person normally) but we do have show tickets and horseback riding and shopping scheduled already plus I MUST find time to do some gambling (I live where there is NO gambling). I'm very excited!! Plus I booked Business Class tickets.
That Classmates.com is pretty amazing. I have connected with not only her but my first real love (and first broken heart), 2 girl friends, and 2 old family friends. I really love having this connection with the past because I have very few memories of my years until I was about 23 due to much trauma and it is great to go back and visit some good times.
Wish me luck!!

weekend
Decorate graves Saturday, daughter's wedding reception Sunday, take it easy day Monday.
Weekend
Luckily I'm off weekends. We went to an early dinner with friends yesterday, and I spent the rest of the day reading for once in I don't know how many years. Also went to the mall. Today we went to church came home and one of the teenage boys in the neighorhood had an Easter egg hunt for the little kids in the neighborhood. Tonight a friend came over the we watched the latest James Bond movie. Now it's off to bed for a busy 4 days of work next week. I'm off Good Friday. I hope everyone has a good week.
What I did this weekend
I worked Sat a.m., then had hair cut - mine was looking like something could have been living in it. Then it was grocery shopping and came home, cleaned and discussed about whether or not we'd move and where to and watched a movie. Sunday got up piddled around, DH got up and we again talked about where and if we were going to move (the talks usually last about 2 - 3 hours), then we boxed up some stuff, made dinner, talked more about moving, watched a movie, talked more about moving and I went to bed exhausted as it was another weekend (this has been going on for about a year now) of not coming to decisions. It isn't really that great when the town you live in more and more people are leaving (where they went I don't know but it's local cos every once inwhile they drive by), but more and more houses are being foreclosed, we hear of families moving in with other family members, schools laying off, all libraries have shut down, crime is rising, no employment here and none anywhere else. We've done so many long distance moves and they never worked out (at least for the first couple of months). Then we listened to the bully kid next door blasting his music. DH is going through mid-life crisis I think. It was just an exhausting weekend.
Misha's weekend
I don't have much new to report about Misha, except that we did get out and go to PetsMart and she enjoyed more attention than usual from two-footed admirers of all sizes. My new prednisone dosing technique seemed to work - no crashing. She wouldn't eat out of a dog bowl, but she would suck canned food- Blue Buffalo lamb recipe - off my fingers, which was quite endearing. Sasha watched me hand-feed Misha and wouldn't touch her bowl until I had hand-fed HER 3 bites too. So I'm creating two monsters, but it felt pretty good at the time. I also got her to eat some Jumbone-type treats also, so at least she's not going to starve. :o}
Plans for the weekend?
Anyone have any fun plans for the weekend? We have no big plans...may do some clothes shopping for the kids if I feel like it.
Weekend Plans
It's my husband's birthday Saturday so we're going out to dinner with friends. It's supposed to be a hot weekend so we'll spend much of the time in the pool with our daughters. We also usually have bonfires on the weekends with the neighbors/friends and/or a cookout since the weather is so beautiful.
My weekend plan:
It's pretty self-explanatory. Buy a nice seedless watermelon, insert funnel and pour in oodles of liquor of choice...vodka, schnapps, rum, etc. (You'd be amazed at how much booze these things can drink!) Let sit overnight in your fridge if you can stand to wait that long, cut up and serve or drill holes into melon and give your best bud a straw and watch the magic happen. See you in rehab.
Attending our first this weekend sm
since I was a little girl. We live in VA but are just across the state line from WV which is where I grew up. My DD is in her first horse show there this weekend. It is about 1 1/2 away. I am a nervous wreck for her already.
Around here Labor Day weekend

Weekend coming. What is everyone doing?

Weekend Plans
Saturday we're going to the Zoo. One of the elephants is having a 40th birthday party celebration there. And Sunday the family's driving about an hour away to go visit my parents.
Weekend plans
We're going to finish school shopping and then on Sunday we're going back to the NYS Fair to see the American Idol concert and Monday probably a cookout with our friends.
The weekend after Thanksgiving
We go out and get the tree and decorate the inside of the house.
Saw some like those at the Bass Pro this weekend nm

So, what's everybody got planned for the weekend?
I'll be working Saturday and Sunday, but I might have a few extra minutes to go to the fabric store. I'm going to try to finish a few UFOs (unfinished objects - sewing). And, I'll be stopping in here, of course. So, what's everybody else doing?
Memorial Day weekend
So what fun things do you guys have planned for the long weekend?  
I have to work.  
So, so sad. Especially Father's Day weekend.
He will be so terribly missed, especially during the election coverage. I will remember him with the white board and writing all over it. I always enjoyed watching him. He sure knew his stuff. Way too young.
Girls weekend? I'm in....
Those are the best. A new place each time. What fun that would be!
Yep, my weekend to work...
Put in 10 hours yesterday and 8 today. Not as tired as I thought I'd be, but getting there.
