Awesome site, finally dove in and created an account.

First I would like to say thank you, JC members. Like others, I have been lurking for a while. This site has proven to be a wealth of Vegas knowledge.

As a kid, I was lucky enough to have parents that took us to Vegas for family vacations...
Who remembers the water slides about 20 feet off the strip (maybe Venetian location now?)
I also remember the Fremont Street before the covering. And when the first mega-resort Mirage opened up.

Being in So-Cal I can still visit a couple times a year.
With that being said, heading out tomorrow morning. Just pack your bags and go. Now! Do it!

Thank you very much Dark Side. It should be a good weekend over there with Final Four and MLB action going on.

Awesome man , u have seen the strip grow!

[gitDownnn]

Yup, money talks and it shows. Its all glitz and glamour now with the mega-resorts everywhere. But it's a nice release the from the everyday grind.

I woke wayyyy too early this morning thinking about our road trip today and couldnt go back to sleep. Oh well, I can sleep when I'm dead.

Have a good weekend everyone, in Vegas or not.

I think you mean Wet n Wild I caught the Vegas bug at the age of 7 and it's never gone away! 10th birthday I chose Vegas to celebrate. I remember looking at the MGM Back Lot thing they used to have and was so mad I never got to actually go before they tore it out

Welcome to the site!

haha Wet N Wild. I think I remember that. I remember going to Vegas and the parents taking us to Stardust for the prime rib. LOL.

I take my kids(4 and 7) now at least 4 times a year and they always ask to ride the Gondola @ Venetian and they know all the top buffet names like Wicked Spoon and M Buffet. LOL. We've even had limos that took us to dinners a couple times. That was a treat for them. Only in Vegas right?! haha.

Thank you for the 'welcomes'!

I may be old-school but I loved the sound of the coins hitting the slot machine tray when you walk into the casino. It lets you know you are in VEGAS. Otherwise it's a smoke-filled room with lots of blinking lights - I may as well be in a local Bingo parlor

After 5 days in Vegas, my blood alcohol level is just returning back to normal. The tables were being nice and so I didnt leave completely broke. I am already looking forward to my next trip in June!
