Please ADD your own Las Vegas Trip Report. Date of Trip: February 11, 2006 to February 15, 2006 Hotel Stayed At: Harrahs Report by: Sharon <> From: Toledo, Ohio

My sister called in November and told me her Sister In Laws were going to Vegas in Feb for one of their birthdays and I said Hey my birthday is the day before hers and after much ado we are going too. So Myself (S), my sister (C) and the sister inlaws we will call (SS1) and (SS2) were going to Vegas.
C and S off to Vegas on the 11th via America West and arrive 45 minutes early. Go to Harrahs and ooopppss cant check in at 8am (like we didn't know that) but we leave the bags there and check our money into the safe. Well its off to Ellis Island to use our ACG Coupons and it does not disappoint. Club Sandwich(1/2 ate) and Burger later along with 4 drinks and we blow this joint. Walk to Paris and Alladin and cannot win a thing. Around 2pm we try back at Harrahs and Diane at desk says "I have you in Carnival Tower but not until 4pm", well thats okay with us because Mardi Gras Tower is not an option. Off to the front of IP so we can wave at C's Daughters in Web Cam, its a riot and we did this at least twice a day. So off on the hunt of the best White Russian on the strip. Sorry but cannot find one better then Ellis Island. Back to Harrahs at 4 and check in. Room great and has a safe (bonus). Take nap and up an hour later for trip downtown. Duece is full but fun and off to California for Prime Rib special (Great Deal), next to Mermaids for free drinks and then to the Nugget. All and all we did not do good on gambling on Day One but had much fun on Duece back to strip everyone sang Happy Birthday to me and that was great.

Day Two
Took Duece to NYNY and MGM. Got free play at MGM and C hits for $250, wow we are winners. Take tram to MB and find shuttle to Green Valley Ranch, its earlier then we wanted but we take it anyways. Now if you haven't been to GVR its a must see Very Clean and everyone was sooo nice. Sign up for players cards and get $3 in free play. Well second spin for me and I hit $1500. We are low rollers and this more then doubles the money I had to gamble. Happy and getting drinks its off to use ACG for 2/1 Buffet. I must say this is the best buffet I would have in Vegas. Back to strip and wait for SS1 and SS2 to get there. They arrive after 9pm and lets go. SS2 is hungry so I recommend the Burger Barn(so its the Burger Palace) at IP (big mistake)we walk over and it smells like ASS in that place (yes I have stayed there before) and the Burger place is closed. Cant get SS1 to leave so C, SS2 and myself go to Osheas and eat and then to the Bellegio for nickle progressive and drink. Back at Harrahs by 3am and to bed.

Day Three
C and I up at 8am and off to TI to cash in nieces ticket she forgot in January and to gamble for peeps at home. Then to the mall to buy me some short sleeve shirts cuz its hot here. SS1 and SS2 call around 11 and are just getting up so C and I eat lunch and they call again to say they still have to eat. Bummer!!! We all go to Barbary Coast so they can eat and C starts her new game. Put $1 in a penny machine and bet 1penny at a time and 1 line. Well 2 hours later and many drinks later she has $5. Girls are ready to go and we hit Paris again and then off to Ceasers. Well Ceasers is changing all machines to Harrahs and we finally find machines that work, but do they. C is playing a 3 coin machine but it will only take 2 coins. Rio/Harrahs PR people couldn't have moved faster, before we knew it $25 in food and all the drinks we could drink. By now C is pretty drunk (not much food for us this day), but we must get our points at Wynn. We get points in no time and Now back to downtown. SS2 wants Tony Ramos and big mistake it sucked. Didn't stay long as C was not feeling well so Duece it back and C goes to bed and SS1, SS2 and Myself go to watch Implosion. We lose SS1 and continue to Implosion ourselves. It was cool to see the building come down but wish it woulda been bigger. Back to Harrahs, I hit for $300 on Blazing 7's and go to sleep.

Day Four
C and I up early and off to Ceasers to eat for free. After that Duece it down to NYNY and MGM to shop. Call SS1 and SS2 but they do not get up till whenever. C and I spend day trolling strip and winning here and there and then finally eat at Wynn for dinner. Its a great Buffet but I am an normal eater and all the fancy stuff was not for me. We finally see SS1 and SS2 as we are leaving buffet at 830pm wow first time all day. We return to Harrahs and play different slots until bed time.

Day Five
Up and at the Harrahs buffet for breakfast to use comp dollars. Im impressed had been to buffet before remodel and it was just okay, but now wow it was great. We gamble a little more and walk some shops. yes the shop in front of IP smells like ASS too. Get to airport in plenty of time for an early flight on America West.
