Of course Vegas is a yearly family tradition for with my family. However, My mom past away almost 4 years ago and I have not gone to Vegas since she died , so this trip to Vegas this year will be bitter sweet.

    I went to Vegas once many, many years ago when I was working at the Flamingo Reno and could say free at the Flamingo Vegas. Awesome dinner at Charlie Palmer's Aureole and some pretty fantastic poolside relaxation. Bellagio was nice. No major shenanigans to report. Hope you honor your mom nicely!

    My mom used to take my brother and I to Vegas all the time when we were younger. It was just us 3 in a rental home enjoying the pool and eating junk. It was her escape and I loved seeing her happy. I went last year for about 4 days. It had been about 17 yrs since i was there. My cousins crashed my vacation and it was the best vacation ever!! Totally different memories as a child to as an adult.

    Thanks sw33tp3a1. You need to go, so much has changed in Vegas from the structure of the casinos to just enjoying the lime life of people all day and all night.
    Hopefully, you get the chance to experience it with your kids.

    Drank a little too much. On my way back to the room met a woman. She wanted to go back to her hotel.... Standing in the taxi line for whatever reason, I thought she was a prostitute. I caused a scene and ran away looking for my friends. Next think I know I am in the bowels of Planet Hollywood trying to find my way out. More to the story but.. yeah.... I love Vegas hahaha

    Vegas?

    I'm way too square and nerdy to fit in there.

    I've been there more times than I can count, almost always on business.

    I just find a hotel off of the strip and close to a gym.

    The thing is, I've been in the casinos and the clubs but only in passing and I think: Dang, they're having fun!

    I'm just wound too tight to even attempt that kind of fun and on some level, I envy them for their ability to let loose.

    Give me a bookstore or a movie theater , let me run a road race or plant me in a gym for a few hours and I'm good.

    Kwph...Im sorry this had happen to you. Wishing you the best and hoping you would change your mind about Vegas. Always be mindful and stay with friends...someone always have to be the sober one in order to enjoy Vegas while drinking.

    I've never spun my car out on sunshine or slipped and cracked my tailbone on 105 degree heat.

    Motorsheen, I understand. Vegas has so much life to its city besides the casinos and limelight.
    Just going to the Malls, All the Shows they have, the Grand Canyon tour and etc.

    I actually just got back from Vegas for my birthday. The very first thing we saw was a woman pulling dirty diapers out of her pants at a bus stop. Other than that, it was like Disneyland with cigarettes and booze. Meh.

    <<I did get a pic with the Golden Goose sign like I wanted- minus all the strip club adverts below it.
