We were planning our annual trek to Las Vegas (last year was the first), but now we're unsure if we'll be able to make it. We did enjoy Las Vegas and that was our primary reason to return. But, we've done an excess of traveling in 2006 - and the budget may not allow for this excursion. We did consider "slumming" it (something I really never wanted to do again). I feel far too old to be staying at seedy hotels - I've come to enjoy the luxury of finding only 1 or 2 hairs in the bathroom as compared to the layer of filth that seems to cover the surfaces of the 2 star or below establishments. Or the fresh coat of paint that has encased the filth for the duration of the hotels existence. But, Vegas may be worth it - we haven't decided yet.
On our trip to Vegas last year we stayed at the Sahara - which was a three star hotel. I thought that rating was very generous of those that rated the hotel. Overall it was old and dirty but it did have all the glitz that is expected of a Las Vegas hotel. It did offer quite a few conveniences with the monorail right at the hotel and one of the few casinos we found that had slot machines that would actually pay out in coins - if that's what you wanted.
If we do decide to go to Vegas - it would be on the weekend of October 21st - so we better make a decision soon.

Sahara was fine, but then I am a Veteran who is used to sleeping in tents. Lizzie, the fine American Princess that she is, requires, and deserves a higher standard. And as Lizzie has said before, we actually did not spend that much time in the hotel. I would stay there again, but why stay in the same place twice, especially when there are so many great deals to be found.
I am not a princess and I see camping in tents to be far more sanitary and enjoyable than staying at a seedy hotel. And I do believe that you have to stay at a few seedy hotels to be able to appreciate the better hotels.
Sorry dear, I know you are not a princess, but I aim to treat you like one...you do deserve it. And yes, I do agree, if you don't know what cheap wine tastes like, how are you going to be able to appreciate a fine cabernet...is that an appropriate analogy?
