Re: The drive from LA to LV...
[ QUOTE ]
Anything exciting to see on the way? Anything I should know? Thanks. [/ QUOTE ] Worlds biggest thermometer in Baker. Stop at the Bun Boy if you are hungry. Go to Death Valley if you want a side trip. Stop in Primm and ride that big rollercoaster. They also have some kind of car collection there. Stop in Gene at the Gold Strike. Anyone can be a high roller there. Outlet malls along the way for those who must buy stuff along the way. Pick your poisen. There is one at almost every city along the way.

[/ QUOTE ] One time, years ago, I started the Sunday night drive back from Vegas DEAD tired and knew I'd be falling asleep at the wheel all the way home. I ducked into Gold Strike for a $19 room and the lady at the front desk asked if I had a players card. I said no and she told me to fill out an application and I'd get the room for free. I gave them $0 of action and crashed. Never been back. I can't think of any reason to spend the night there except to avoid a sleepy wreck on the 15.

My mom and dad stopped there one morning on the way home and there was a table in the dining room (buffet) with a table cloth and linens. My dad asked about this and was told they had a high roller. The breakfast was 99c for NY steak and eggs. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

The room (while $29) was god awful, I slept in my clothes, I didn't even use the shower, it looked like a prison shower (not that I would know).
