Eh, Strat was fine for what it was... Weather was beautiful, so I hoofed it down the strip everyday. Being across the street from a liqour store was handy also!

Looking forward to a more relaxing trip this time around (hence the hotel sans casino) - but still plan to spend a few hours a day at the craps & blackjack tables. Maybe play a poker tournament or two.

Portland (OR) - yea, the flight made the deal to some extent... Something like $120 roundtrip.

I'm out of the same town and you use to be able to get deals like that thru different agencies. But to get those low rates you had to play a certain amount in that casino.. Where and who did you get your deal thru ? and are there restrictions ?

Just Orbitz - booked late last week... Spirit flies for as low as 107 rt (although my airfare was 127). Don't think they're any restrictions or anything... I'm only there tues-fri though.

I had looked on bidding at priceline, but the savings at Orbitz for flight/hotel were better than using priceline and booking separately.

Honestly, that area didn't phase me one bit... But I'm from a pretty urban environment.

At Vdara this time around - let me know what's good around city center, if you have thoughts. Only there for 2 full days, so I want to make them count.

Ha - rad. Thanks for the advice. Really looking forward to some decent temps and sun... Portland winter's are starting to get me down.

Bumped my own thread, to avoid starting a new one.

When I price it out, usually what I'll do is check flights first on Orbitz, and use the "search +/- 3 days" option... Find the cheapest dates for airfare, then go back and use those dates with the hotel+airfare option. I don't mind paying a bunch for a nice place to sleep, but I try to minimize the airfare (especially since it's a 2hr flight from pdx).

Red Eye - you should come down to Claudia's sometime - Hawthorne and SE 30th in Portland... Great sports bar.

Strat used to have the best video poker pay tables in Vegas. Don't think it's the same since Ichan took over.

Shoot me a PM if you and CelticGreen decide to meet up for drinks/sports viewing. I'm a Portlander myself (only starting my 3rd year here), haven't been to Claudia's.
