    I love Vegas and I dont gamble. The strip, Hoover Dam, people watch, get some herb 😀, go out to the desert. Lot of fun there.

    Not a big gambler but there is a certain buzz around the Vegas area. Just take in the sounds and sights.

    Have your doctor go ahead and prescribe valtrex and an antibiotic so it will be ready for you when you get back.

    Careful walking, you could trip over a homeless person.

    When someone approaches you and says “ Hey”. Or “I have a deal for you” or “ spare change” keep walking, don’t acknowledge them.

    traveling from The strip to Fremont street? Buy a RTC card, $20 a day and there is no limit how many times you ride.

    Where ever you are staying check out the deals for breakfast, lunch or dinner, we stayed on Fremont St. walked across the street to the Queens and signed up for one of their player cards, I think it saved us $4 on each breakfast.

    Wallet front pocket, no purse for the wife. Use the room safe.

    Wear Good shoes, you’ll walk your azz off

    To much to see and do to waste your time gambling. The casinos always win in the end.

    I actually enjoyed Fremont St. more than the strip. The group that played over the w/e we were there were great. Street crowd was huge. After dark, going down to the end of Fremont St. was kinda like N.O.La in the 70’s

    Agree with Fremont Street over the Strip. It's everything Vegas should be while the Strip is an outrageously expensive spectacle.

    I love Vegas, been there many times and yes, I also love me some blackjack..enjoy your trip. I will be there March 11th - March 15th...Hoover Dam tour, Freemont Street, walk the strip cause when you think you have seen it all, you have not. Park and walk across the bridge at Hoover. You can arrange a tour to the skywalk at Grand Canyon, well worth the trip. If you have a car, red rock canyon is worth a trip. I dont know your budget, but if you want to drive an exotic high performance car on a track, then Speed Vegas is for you.

    Vegas isn't what it used to be but it's still a lot of fun. Have a great time and hope you get home with a little $ left.

    Gambling money in one front pocket, the rest of your cash in the other. Don't mix them and when the gambling pocket gets empty stop.
