1. Whoo Hoo! I'm dying to go back. What'd you do, where'd you stay?

2. Syayed at the Venetian and Caesar's Palace

Saw the Fremont St experience, all the casinos on the strip, went to the top of the Eiffel tower, saw a show, and of course gambled. Mrs X even got her drink on, which she hardly ever does.

A lot of fun!

3. I went for the first time last month, fell in love instantly. I made it as far as Caesar's Palace,

we stayed at the Tropicana. My wife is going to crazy with me talking about going back. I didn't get to see half the things I thought I was going to see.

4. Did you get to see a show?

We saw Zumanity, the "sensual side of Cirque De Soleil". It was cool, but I wish we had done a different Cirque show and/or seen a more traditional topless Vegas show.

If/when you go back, you HAVE to go see the Luxor. Unbelievable.

5. I planned on seeing one of the cool shows, but then I discovered casino gambling and had a great run

of good luck that didn't seem to follow me anywhere after Vegas. So we did end up seeing a comedy show at Harrahs, a lame magic show, and toured the Titanic exhibit. We did a lot of food, since we consider ourselves foodies. We walked around the Luxor, I wasn't impressed. Caesar's was the one that knocked me out, the shopping was crazy, it looked like an entire mall was inside. I wanted to see Love, so maybe I'll get to see that next time. I spent an embarrarssingly long amount of time in the casinos though.

6. Caesar's was nice

And the Forum shopping mall was cool. The architecture of the Luxor, with the pyramid design and all, just knocked me out.

Did you see anyone famous? We didn't. But some lady thought I was Kiefer Sutherland...HA! She was pretty drunk, though.

7. I don't know, I just wasn't impressed with the Luxor. I took pics of the outside, but once I was

inside, I just felt "blah" about it. I had my eyes open for a celebrity, the closest I got was playing three card poker with some producer for Kanye West, Kanye was in town that week. Other than that, it was just, let's say interesting, people watching, lots of interesting people. I also grew a strong hatred of timeshares that I didn't have before I arrived!
