Las Vegas, NV trip report
My report will be fairly brief, as it was just 3 nights and much of the time was spent with family (a reunion).
* 1st night at the Orleans. Nice spacious standard room. We really enjoyed the buffet for breakfast, and some 2 for 1 bowling with coupons in their Fun book.
* Spent the afternoon, on the strip (Flamingo and the Mirage), then headed downtown.
* Checked into a nice 2 bedroom suite at the Golden Nugget for 2 nights. Very nice suite.
* Evening was spent with family, making a dinner out of the happy hour fare at the Triple 7 Brew Pub in Main Street Station. Very tasty and reasonable. Also, enjoyed the light show, Fremont Street Experience.
* Sat. brunch with our family at Main Street Station. Good food, though we liked the variety at Orleans buffet better. Though the brunch setting at MSS is very pretty.
* Sat afternoon we went back to our hotel, to swim in the Golden Nugget new pool with shark tank! Very fun and a great way to stay cool on a hot day. Had a late lunch at the Carson Street Cafe there. Very good food.
* Sun evening, headed back to the Triple 7 for more brews and appetizers. Then we went to the Wynn. Beautiful hotel, and my daughter and I would like to stay there sometime. We then went to the Venetian, and had a nice walk through there also. Didn't gamble much, although had a little fun with video poker. My 20 somethings did very well at blackjack.
* Left early Sunday, enjoying our stay in spite of high temps over 100F.

Swimming with sharks... you have all bragging rights in my book!

Thanks TahitiTams for the Wynn guestbook tip. I'll sigh up!
Degas- I used cheapovegas.com, lasvegasadvisor.com, vegas.com and also bought the Unofficial guide to Las Vegas 2007. I also looked at the hotel websites.
