    The fees are getting ridiculous...especially when they say something is complimentary and then list it under a fee. This is the fifth year I've done this run and it'll be my last for a while. I'm over Vegas and I'm done with Competitor's ridiculous charges for their races. Each year this little weekend gets more and more expensive. It's a fun race, but I'm not independently wealthy.

    All the times I've been to Vegas I've never stayed downtown. That would be interesting, but I either go for the race which is on the strip so staying right there is convenient, or I go with girlfriends who want to stay on the strip.

    My first 2 trips to Vegas were on the Strip. Now that I've stayed off the strip I don't ever want to go back to the Strip. It's cool once or twice. After that it's miles of crowds and smoke. That's a big one--the smoke is MUCH less of an issue downtown. And no walking miles to get around.

    And the pool with a water-slide going through a shark tank at Golden Nugget is reason alone to stay there.

    This is so funny I just got back from Vegas! Had to do a trade show for our business. I can't believe how much everything costs there! We got 2 drinks and it was $20.00! I got to the point where I was tempted to go to the store and get my own! The Paris hotel does not charge "resort" fee's. I would have looked for one's that don't. On the strip there were adds about resorts with no fee's. Kinda funny you mentioned this.
    When we left this morning is was blowing very high winds! It was crazy! We watched more tumbleweed races across the highway then I have ever seen!
    Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.
