That is great news. You can get plenty of exercise there and have lots of fun. Hopefully soon we will get a chance to meet. Are you ready for the heat?

Oooh
Dangit Zen!
I may just have to see if I can figure out a way to get down there to see you. It's a little bit of a drive for me, but I have been trying to think of what to do for vacation this year. Vegas is cooooooool! (Yeah, Baby!)
I would just have to blow a gasket to be able to see you. Let me do some snooping with my schedule and see if that might work....

Just got back
Hey Zen;
I took the family for an extended weekend (left Friday, got back Sunday eve) to Vegas - just had to get away for awhile. We were able to score tickets for Spamalot at the Wynn resort (show was incredibly fantastic, but the casino is way overrated).
We like New York, New York, Cesar's Palace and Paris. The days will be incredibly hot, and the nights hot but tollerable. It's really fun playing blackjack and enjoying a drink while IN the pool. Also, The Blue Man Group is awesome (saw them a few years ago), Celine Dion is overpriced, Penn and Teller at the Rio is supposed to be really good. We've also seen Steve Wyrick (magician who likes to make big things like cars and motorcycles dissapear) he was fun, and we saw Lance Burton a while back, who was fantastic.
Keep your eye out and you may see Criss Angel (Mindfreak), I understand he's living at the Aladdin -soon to be Planet Hollywood-.
We've been to the Hilton and although the Star Trek Adventure is fun, it's way overpriced at $44 per person. Granted it's an all day ticket, but if your not staying at the hotel, it's not worth it, you may be able to get discounts through work or something.
You will have a GREAT time - we always do!
I almost forgot - the monorail is now in operation and can get you around the resorts much easier and faster than trying to drive the strip.
