The Las Vegas Strip

Glitz, glamour, and some of the best entertainment in the world.  And for "low rollers" like myself, a great people-watching place.

As I walked into the different casinos, I got the feeling there was something missing from the old days.  Then it hit me...  no sound of metal coins hitting metal trays at the slots.  As far as I can tell, you now get a piece of paper with your winnings that you cash in.

Lastly, Vegas is no longer a "cheap vacation" spot.  Yes, there are deals but you have to look for them.  My advice to visitors is the same as I got before going to Alaska:  "Create two piles.  Put your stuff into one pile and your money into the other.  Cut the stuff pile in half and then double the money pile."
