    1993 Monte Carlo

    I did not like gambling there but I loved the brewpub in the back past the food court.

    They had live music quite a bit and it was a fun place to hang while eating and drinking.

    1992, Motel6 off strip because my then-boyfriend was too cheap to stay on the Strip. The following year in 1993 he upgraded us to Circus-Circus.

    1971 Holiday Inn Center Strip. That hotel is now Harrah's. The hotel was just built, and had no casino. My first casino there was the Bonanza. It's about where Bally's is now. Ahh, this brings back memories. thanks.

    On my first Strip trip (Stardust, several pages back) some of our gang stayed at the Tam O'Shanter and it was perfectly fine back then in the 1970s. It was at the time a Best Western.

    LOL, "Magic Fingers" :) :) :)

    I'm confused. Why would the person you divorced 9 to 10 months prior be upset that you didn't tell her about taking a trip?

    It was September of 1993...stayed at the Imperial Palace. I specifically remember that there was a fire at the Dunes, which was already closed and was imploded the next month.
