This was our first trip out there in over 9 years, let me start off by saying that WE HAD A BLAST!!!!
We stayed at The Plaza in Downtown Vegas and IT WAS A DUMP!.....we didn't even gamble there. I was not impressed with anything downtown, except for the Fremont Street thing.
I think we visited about 60-70 casinos in all!
The strip was AWSOME!.....lots and lots of people everywhere. We ate at Toby Keiths, I Love This bar And Grille at Harahs the first day, and we did good on slots there. Then it was off to downtown to check in to the dump (The Plaza). We played downtown the rest of the evening, getting back to our room about midnight.
We were up and dressed by 8:00am on Saturday. Went to the Strat for breakfast and then we were off to Jean and Primm for the day. Had a very good lunch/dinner at The Gold Strike in Jean. Then back to vegas for a visit to Circus-Circus and the Riv. Made it back downtown about 8:00pm and we were back at The Dump and in bed by 10:00pm.
Sunday we went to places like several Station Casinos and Sams Town. We visited The Rio Sunday evening and ended up back downtown and played at The Fitz till after 3:00am.
Monday was Strip Day. We played and ate breakfast at New York New York, played at The Luxor, Excaliber and Mandalay Bay. Since one slot card was good at all those casinos we ended up getting a free buffet at Mandalay, and it was AWSOME! We got back to The Dump and played Let It Ride till 1:00 am there.
Our flight left Vegas at 10:30 am on Tuesday, we were very tired and I slept the whole flight back to Indy.
Our package thru Southwest Vacations included a "mid-sized" rent a car from Dollar. When we got there to pick it up on Friday, they didn't have any "mid-sized" cars, so they up-graded us to a Lincoln Town Car for free!
Other than The Plaza being a DUMP, it was an AWSOME trip!
