I've generally had good experiences in the Monte Carlo's brewpub. I'll be back there in June for a conference; hope they haven't gone downhill.

Congratulations on a successful Vegas run! We probably passed each other at the airport - I came in on the 23rd and I'm here at Mandalay Bay right now posting this. ;)

No wheelchairs either, it looks like.

One of those suckers slips off, it's a long way down.

The Exotic Car display doesn't look too exotic (I've not been). Seemingly I see those cars on the street here everyday. It's amazing what cruises around this place.

Good report for us non-tourists which might want to impersonate tourists down on the Strip some other night than NYE.

"Crescit Eundo" must be Latin for "WTF"

It means "It Grows as it Goes", a bald faced lie unless you are talking about State Government.

You mean to say you didn't gamble? Yikes!
They'll never ask you back again.
Glad you had fun.

Martin, Glad you had a good time. As I may have noted to you, we spent a few days there in November with the wife, her folks and younger brother.

Headed over to the Rio and watched their "Carnaval in the Sky" show. Not bad! Mrs. F. was complaining about not catching any tossed necklaces when one landed right in her hands.

ROTFL! Reminds me of our visit to the Rio. I was standing watching the show myself, with my hand lazily draped over a slot machine. A necklace came towards me, bounced off the hand of the guy sitting at the slot machine, bounced up and hooked onto my hand. The look that bozo gave me as I trotted off to hand it to my wife was priceless, wish I had my camera handy.


Missed the 9-11 exhibit at NY/NY. We went down to see Rita Rudner (still funny, but she's not as good when she was single and living in NY/LA, I thought). Of course, when there are other people in the party more interested finding bathrooms or whether we let my father-in-law walk back to the Mirage, it's hard to do the kind of lazy sightseeing I wanted to do, oh well. My F-I-L has an arthritic hip, but is generally too stubborn to admit that he is in a lot of pain and needs to take it a little easier.

About all we saw of the Wynn was a blackjack table. My brother-in-law and I each put down $100 and about 30 minutes later we EACH walked away with $250 in chips. We also did that in the Imperial Palace Thursday night and once more(!) at O'Sheas Friday afternoon! We even scored some tacky beads there, as the table convinced the dealer to award Black Jacks with beads as well as the cash. Needless to say, we played, saw shows and ate on what we won. Best and longest hot streak I've EVER had there.
