My husband and I have been going to Vegas for 30 years and we have seen many changes. We had about a 20 year period when we raised our children and visited more family friendly cities like Orlando and Wisconsin Dells but now we meet our empty nester friends in Vegas twice a year. We aren't high rollers but being Harrah's total reward card holders we stay at any of thier 40 locations across the country free due to thier loyalty programs. We love to see a show every time we visit it could be Toni Braxton at the Flamingo, Barry Manilow at the Hilton or Danny Gans at the Mirage all great shows. We saw Penn & Teller and loved the show at the Rio and had a drink in the voodo lounge and walked out side on the roof to see a great view of the strip from a distance. We have seen less expensive shows such as the Rat pack a great tribute to Frank, Dean, Sammy, & Joey with a surprise song by a Marilyn Monroe inpersonator. The Soprano Last Supper also was fun with the cast dining at our table we had Tony and Meadow it was alot of laughs. I could go on and on about the great entertainment we have been able to see. Years ago food was a great bargin but with the player cards come points and comps so food prices have gone up for people who can't reap the benefits of having established comps on the cards. All in all Vegas is a exciting city that continues to entertain from the past to present.
