The Indians have got their revenge...they put a huge damper on AC traffic.

Since AC has quieted down over the years, I've actually found it more inviting. Yes the summer is swarmed by the multitude of bennies, it still has some great restaurants at not too scary of prices.<br /><br />I will say this, the buffet prices are terrible. $40+ for a buffet would be great if top quality products were offered, I usually end up going to the food court.<br /><br />I'd love to see those dollar games, it's once in a blue moon we find a $5 game let alone $10.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18103904551475606736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360697570873499457.post-73502197414356363342015-03-27T12:57:51.516-07:002015-03-27T12:57:51.516-07:00Could be a seasonal price change, Brian.

Vegas is just not for me...to many folks with either easy or ill gotten money who move up in their social class in Vegas only...and they save their poorest manners for Lost Wages.

I have an Aunt and Uncle(in their 80's) that come out from Michigan and have had various family and friends join me every year. Sort of a mini family reunion. I think your being to hard on Vegas. Yes, prices have gone way up but we don't have to pay them.The Strip is crowded but we don't spend much time there, preferring the off Strip places(Rio, South Point etc). I have nothing bad to say about Vegas. Even the 9-10 hour drive from the Bay Area is enjoyable. This is a vote For Vegas. :)Franknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360697570873499457.post-87571873482558849842015-03-25T04:10:22.232-07:002015-03-25T04:10:22.232-07:00Brian, first of all, I'm shocked that you'...Brian, first of all, I'm shocked that you've never been to Vegas.
