Vegas Planning Time

Trip Plans are Solid!

It's my favorite time of year. I like to call it, "yeah, that's right, I'm planning a trip to Vegas again, baby." Of course, that's a little bit of a long title, and as I'm always planning a trip to Vegas (either in my mind, or like now, literally) it's kind of silly to name it at all.

We're looking at a late August, Sun-Thurs trip, with a possible side trip. Rates are good right now, but we're looking to maximize our discounts. We're staying at the Flamingo, which does not offer me as much as a package deal savings as somewhere like the Strat (or Circus Circus if I really wanted to go on the cheap), but the 'Mingo has its advantages, such as:

  • mid-Strip location
  • reasonable room rates
  • clean, comfy rooms (although nothing really special)
  • simple navigation (hotel-casino-parking garage easily accessible)
  • tasty Flamingos (just kidding, but wouldn't it be a hoot if you asked for one in the cafe that faces the bird sanctuary?)

For Real This Time

I'm very, very close to putting the finishing touches on the website redesign. Here's a taste. It's much cleaner, and I'm pretty happy with it. For now. I plan to finish the last few tabs this week and put it up there by the weekend. But if you are tooling around now, let me know what you think of the design thus far. As much work as this has been, it's been fun, too, to see a project come together.

I'll have new pictures for the site, too, in August when I.... Go to Vegas. It's that simple.

Viva,

Mike
