    Las Vegas airport hotel??

    I agree. The new rental car place is like walking into the airport. Never a long wait. And if your a preferred member of a car rental place, you can bypass the 1st check in desk.

    first timer to vegas

    The reason it cost more in March is because you ever hear of MARCH MADNESS ??? Betting on Basketball. BUT the last week or two of March the prices do go down. Harrah's is a great place for new comers to stay. Right in the middle of the action. And a great piano bar up front, as well as a...

    Grand Canyon ?

    Yes you can hike into the Grand Caynon. But it is one way down, and one way up (straight up it seems). If you went to Bryce Caynon, it is more "user" friendly than the Grand Canyon.. And the view at Bryce is AWESOME !!!!

    Vegas Question - Taxi route from airport

    NO TUNNEL !!!!! The tunnel takes you out of the way. The drivers will say the tunnel is "faster". Bull crap. It takes longer... and cost more. I am talking from many trips to Vegas. Of course now I found it is cheaper to just rent a car. Of course the reason it is cheaper is because I...

    Grand Canyon - where to stay?

    I stayed at Bright Angel. Lucky for me, my room even had a shower with the toliet. Very old (or do we say rustic). I was 30 seconds from the rim of the caynon. Did I like it? NO. I LOVED IT !!!!!! No TV. No Phone. No noise. No worries. I drove from Vegas (5-6 hours, stopping to eat)...

    The only GREAT place to eat at Circus Circus is at the Steakhouse. Though there is a good Mexican place there.

    Grand Canyon West/Hualapai Legacy?

    I did the west rim about 18 years ago. Much has changed. They did not have the walkway back then. Very peacefull. Very Beautiful. But with the walkway, it seems they want to charge you for everything. I guess that is the cost of progress. Back then all they had was a port-a-pot.

    I gotta say... I was shocked.

    1. I did the half on Saturday. 2. I don't train. 3. I pay for it the next day. 4. I do hear when people call out my name. 5. I try to smile or wave, but most times I don't realize they are talking to me until I am past. 6. When there is general cheering, I assume it is for someone behind...
