    The recent thread on what the Linq used to be called had me waxing nostalgic.

    Mine was 1994 at Bally's.

    The Sands, at some point in the 1970's. I'll never forgive Sheldon Adelson for razing it in favor of the The Venetian. Alas, times change.

    2010 at the MGM Grand. Gambling didn’t go well, but I fell in love with the city as soon as I saw the strip that first nighttime descent into McCarran.

    Believe it was summer of 1988, give or take a year. Stayed a week at Tropicana because they had one of the best pools.
    Had a terrible wind & rain storm. Casino even lost power. Glass and everything else blown into the pool. Figured that was the end of swimming for remainder of week. Hell no, they had that cleaned out and ready to go next morning.

    Luxor in January of 2014 with my girlfriend at the time. Got long hauled there by a cab to the hotel and I broke up with my girlfriend a week later. You would have thought that would have been my first and last trip :D but I went back that summer with my brother on a comp and coming back ever since. It was my last trip with a significant other though.. ha
