Vegas in July...temps OVER 114 for over a week! Are you guys NUTS...lol...don't answer that, ok!!! Seriously, the temps are at their highest during the last three weeks of July. August is monsoon time and the storms can be horrendous. June is really pretty terrific. Still over 100, though, but bearable. You guys will have a super time no matter what the temps are!

Yeah Kstme, I was thinking about that too. My sister drove to Las Vegas last Wednesday and the I-15 was flooded over by a flash flood and they had to detour to Laughlin and then drive up to Vegas...it took them 9 hours to get there! How about the Spring time during school spring break?

I'm in, if the dates work out. July in Vegas would be VERY warm. Tho I'm sure that wouldn't bother the Louisiana gal, would that be a problem for others?

Kar, it would be very hot dry heat because it's really the desert. I would survive being outside but the reality is, I'd be staying inside with the a/c.

No one goes outside in Vegas!! You really don't have to. If you go from hotel to hotel you just jump in a cab, it really isn't too bad. That is why July is cheapest. That said,it doesn't matter to me when we go as there will be deals any time of year. Also might want to keep in mind that Sun-Thur anytime of year will be cheapest. We just don't want to go when they are having that big convention or on a fight weekend, they jack the prices way up and usually book fast.

I have the entire month of July off and am going to RG's for the first half, so I'm up for something in the second half of the month (if the majority can do that time - if not, I'll send my hugs via email ) If I go, I'll likely stay with a friend in Vegas and make it a cheap trip!

well, i have been known to sit at one slot machine for over 16 hours straight. i went pee pee one time and the pit boss watched my machine for me. i stayed from 11:00 one morning until 3:30 the next morning. every time i would almost empty my bucket of quarters, i would hit for $250. finally, i was hanging onto the machine to stand up and drinking o.j. to not pass out. i said to myself, 'you hit even 25 bucks and you leave!' and about two spins later, i hit the 250 bucks again, so i got to go to bed for about 3 hours. then i was back at my machine! turns out people were waiting for the machine because i kept hitting on it. nothing happened for them. i sat down and said, "it's me!" and promptly hit the 250 bucks the very first spin! it was a hoot! that was at the ex calibre. this new years, we took the kids, because circus circus gave me a room for 3 nights and 200 dollars cash to come. i hit 1,000 bucks while using their $200, and we lived it up for 4 days. i even paid cash for gas on the way home! not bad for a quarter machine......but not usual for me! sigh......

I say we all share Tabby's comped room--she won't be sleeping in it! Heck, not only does she get a comped room she gets her own reserved parking space

and, we truly did get our own space. we stole, er, borrowed an orange cone from a construction area and put it in our spot when we went to drive around. we came back hours later, and no one had moved the cone! so we stopped, moved the cone, put the suburban back, and returned the cone to the construction area! it was a hoot...the only parking space in the entire lot that was by itself, with no spaces on either side of it. i always fear for drunken or angrily broke people leaving the casino and banging their doors open onto my car! lol

We need Tabby to go for luck!! When we used to drive there we would always valet our car, it's free , just have to tip the guy, they usually have the a/c going so the car is cooling by time it gets to ya. Hippy, do play tables or slots? I plan to take Square to a strip club so she can learn some new moves!! Oh, and I want to take her to the Adult Superstore too!!!
