Grooch - I have been there too - was fun - my old boss rented the entire place for a christmas party like 6 years ago - I think its called Bonnieville (sp??). Its about 45 minutes outside of LV.

Square - if you don't like coasters the one at the Strat is the one you want to go on then - it only goes like 35 MPH - I think that one is the biggest dud! Now the Big Shot at the top is a serious thrill ride - made scary-er by the height - by the time ya all get here there will be a 3rd ride up on the top of the Strat its called "X Scream" picture a teeortotter (is that what those things are called?) that hangs off the edge of the tower. You would be sitting in a "car" with no bottom hanging out over the edge going up & down! I cant wait - I love that stuff!

Square - the price for the Strat rides are:

Big Shot - $8
High Roller - $5
Or - $17 passes include admission to tower and both rides.

I would suggest going at nite to anyone that is going to do this - the view is breathtaking. They have a revolving bar / food place too but the prices are a bit stiff.

Granny I tried your travelocity, if I just fly it cost $345, if I fly and stay at their hotel for the sun-thur - if I leave Midway at 6 am, it will by $345, now I checked the Sunday Travel guide, andI can stay a week at the luxor for that price (thru travelocity) but it was for midweek travel booked by Oct 20!! oh and double occupancy, I may find it cheaper to go with someone!! LOL

You guys probably want to be looking at some of the charter companies. I flew to Vegas in May 2002 from Dallas to Vegas, round trip non-stop including four (or was it five?) nights at the New Frontier (which is on the strip) for less than $350.

I see ads in the paper here all the time for those special Vegas trips and they are cheaper if you go during the week.

My folks just went last week from Monday to Thursday and paid less than $275 per person (they stayed downtown instead of on the strip). That included airfare and hotel.

Since I'm not involved in the planning - thank God - I thought I'd just come in occasionally and add a comment. I like roller coasters. Thanks.

Sure, Sq. I've stared down polar bears. I'm fearless. If I start screeching like a schoolgirl, though, I'd prefer we just keep it between the two of us.

Vixen, why don't you check out the various hotels and see if they will give us group rates. I've talked to the folks at Bally's and Harrah's here in Tunica MS. But I think Bally's is kinda out of the main drag and Harrah's is more on the strip. BUT Bally's seemed to be more helpful in giving information than Harrah's did. So maybe if you could find out some info from the places out there, we would have a better idea of whether to just buy flights and then hotels or to try to do a deal with flight and hotel. If you don't mind doing that. Square will give you a hug if you do.

I wouldn't go on that coaster if LLCoolJ held my hand!
Bally's is my fav place to stay, rates are good, middle of the strip local, and the service is great! They usually upgrade our room at no charge.
