Goin' to Vegas!

Have you been shopping for a Vegas vacation lately? Prices keep going up and down and up and down. They're making me seasick! The good news is that you can still find an affordable trip to Sin City. The bad news is that it may take you a little longer than it used to because you'll need to search more websites. I have found (this week, anyway) that Orbitz and Expedia have been offering the best prices for flights and hotel + flight options. It seems odd to me that these sites have lower airfare than even the airline sites, but I've seen stranger things in the travel biz.

More good news... at least for me, anyway! I've booked my January trip to Las Vegas, and I'm so very excited. I've even convinced some of my friends, who I've recently re-connected with at my high school reunion (won't say which one), to join me. I can't tell you how amped I am for this trip. I don't know how I'm gonna hold out for 5 months, but I'll just have to try.

We looked to the Imperial Palace, the Riveria, and the Flamingo for good deals on rooms. We finally decided to book rooms at the Flamingo, which I've never stayed at before, so if any of you have 'mingoed it up, please let me know what you think of this joint. I have gambled there before, with disastrous results. That pink bird likes to take my money! And I don't think I'll be eating any Cheeseburgers in Paradise, but there are some good restaurants in there.

I was also happy to learn that there is at least one heated pool open year-round, and they have a hot tub down there in the pool area. Pretty cool! And I'll take pics of their bird sanctuary area (I've never been) and post them... yes, 5 months from now, but if I can wait that long, I hope you can, too.

Don't forget to peruse my website and fill out the survey for a chance to win a cool luggage tag!

Viva,
Mike

We are taking back from that pink bird what he has taken from us. We will have no mercy. Then we will drink too much free wine at Battista's and vomit on one of our old classmates.
