Sounds like fun besides the flight Larry. It was awesome weather when I was there last month, highs were at 90. Alot of walking and alot of gambling. I was lucky to hit a Royal Flush at Planet Hollywood or I really would have lost.

Got back at Mid-nite-thirty this AM...was supposed to be back at 9:45 am Sunday but learned quickly that when you get a guest pass....you are the lowest priority for open seats when an airline is chronicly overbooked...started waiting for the flight at Mid-nite Sat.nite and it took 4 flights to finally get going at 6PM Sunday and then one of the scariest landings ever for me as we were touching down in Bellingham...yes Bellingham.....at 9PM Sunday....we had 55 MPH winds and after 30 mins of heavy turbulence getting over the cascades we came in sideways...Crab Walking as my brother calls it.....to a jerking pitching landing where the whole cabin applauded...even the Stewardeses!!!! To make it more interesting...with the wind our connecting flight was cancelled leaving us stranded there until my Angel..(Carol) came up to rescue me and two of the folks on the flight to take them to Seatac and me home....needless to say I am home today..... Did have a fantastic warm three day..temps mid 70s pool and lots of walking around Vegas...Luxor..MGM..Trop. and only lost 200 bones!!
P.S....did not buy into the Timeshare and got my $75.00 BPS giftcards!!
