    Ken, have you ever done a TR (here or elsewhere, such as in a magazine writeup) of this particular part of Vegas? I've only ever made my way out there once to have dinner at the buffet at Rampart, and couldn't stay too long. I'd be interested to do a more extensive visit of JW Marriott/Rampart and Suncoast and thereabouts... but since that won't actually happen for some time, I figured if anybody would have an insightful writeup/report on it, it would be you.

    Thanks for the vote of confidence, nfc. I don't have a great track record for writing TRs. And it's been a few years since I've done much in the way of articles about Vegas, and those that are remotely recent are all golf-y. I'd be happy to chat or message if you'd like.
