Jim,
;-)
I can only remember Vegas from the late 1970's and I'm sure it had started it's change over by then. I guess I like all the glitter.
One of my friendly competitors from here in town went to Vegas this year and it had been awhile since they had been there. They were VERY disappointed in the way it is building up - said they will never go back, they want to remember the "Old Vegas". I guess I can relate to that, but also want to think that this Vegas will be what I remember when I tell my grandchildren when I get old (yeah, like I'm not already there!) Got 2 grandsons & another on the way.
I'm sorry, but I'm too cheap to pay $400 no matter where the hotel is. >.<
Fact is, in 1978 was when I first went to Vegas, we stayed behind the Stardust (Bless it's soul, it was imploded a couple weeks ago) in the RV resort. That was a high class campground that I had never seen before. We had a motorhome that had air-conditioning, but for the pop-up tent trailers, they had a vent tube with air-conditioning that would fit over the vent in the trailer and provide cool air for those without air. I have never seen anything like that since......
