In response to people discussing Las Vegas hotels:Tho I live in Chicago,I visit my favorite city,LV,3-4 times a year and have done so for the past 15 years.I'll share what I've only recently found out about getting a good room at a decent price or perhaps for free.You simply sign up for a "player's card" at every casino you go to.I got a card at Harrah's in East Chicago,Indiana,and soon I was getting offers in the mail for two or three free nights at the Rio or Harrah's in LV,which I've taken advantage of.I can stay at the Gold Coast for $32 a night Sun.-Thur.(I've never stayed there,anybody know what that place is like?)The point is,due to terrorism,SARS,and the weak economy,also the fact there's now casinos in half the states in the USA,Las Vegas is offering deals just to get you out there.You DON'T have to be a compulsive gambler to get comps!Just sign up for players cards.If you want a suite at the Bellagio,however-THAT might be a different story! HAVE FUN!
