LV: Excalibur. Let's say it's the most worn down of all hotels on the strip, but to be on the strip was a requirement. The kids liked it though, and we still had a great time, even if the newer ones looked a lot more inviting ... but then, it was also a budget question.

Yeah, it doesn't seem like they invested a lot ... I wonder how they can compete with all the fancy places.
The Knights Show in the basement wasn't bad though.

Planning Strategy
It is obvious that our intense trip (3300+ miles to connect 15 locations in 28 days) required plenty of precise planning.
I am getting a lot of questions how we did this precise planning, and why this was liberating (and not constraining) for us (seemingly paradox).
I am more than happy to share our planning methods and considerations (just not publicly in the forum). If you are interested you can send me a private message and I can give you insight in the material.

When planning this trip, I had seriously considered to defer it to 2020 ... so glad now that I didn't.
Probably many of you are browsing trip reports for mental travelling and dreaming, I certainly do.
I really hope this crazy situation will not last too long, and all of you planning similar trips get the chance to do so soon.
I wish all of you the strength, patience and sense of community that we will all need to get through this!
