Ace Hunter, thank you very much for that post. As I wait for game 3 deciding College World Series game between Mississippi State and Vanderbilt, I just had to shake my head and smile sarcastically. For those of us going back to Fantasyland of 1974 on especially at the dunes and other strip locations, and fast forward to today. I made My first visit in 2 years using my continuous offers at station properties, even being backed off by the major 2, and playing elsewhere, then comparing Vegas with the most recent Midwest trip. Even though the major expenses especially rental car primarily, flight and hotels, I still prefer the higher overhead compared to the former. Although I will return in cooler weather it just lacks the spark of yesteryear, and of more importance......EEEEVEEE
