And the buffets are great I’ve heard. Top level stuff — a round trip flight from here to Los Angeles is horrifically expensive, but an entire week’s stay (including the flight to and from) for Las Vegas is much less, soooo, book the LV trip, fly there, and the family one wishes to visit from LA drives up to pick ya up.
This made far more sense when gasoline prices were reasonable.
However, a Vegas-LA bus trip is reasonably priced, and somewhat cheaper each direction if a round trip.
Or, if it’s a romantic tryst, the midwesterner flies to Vegas with the trip all booked, the hotel, the works, and the Lalaland love interest drives up and stays there instead.
Yes, as a matter of fact, we are extremely careful with money around here. ;’)
The buffets are very nice, and since we do a lot of walking around and gawking, we work off the food quite well.
I love to go when we haven't been there for a while because there are new hotels to see and places to explore.
I don't understand about the family visit vs. the tryst, but I'll just gloss over that if you don't mind. (I thought you were happily married!)
