* No, I will continue to visit Las Vegas
regardless of what is happening around the world. Tom C. AZ
* Yes, it has me worried, but I am still
making my trip in April. Viva Las Vegas. Helen CA.
* Does it keep my wife and I away no, but
it makes us wonder about flying sometimes. MM David K. TX
* I am more concerned now then ever
before about the flight itself and about the threat of biological weapons in a
town like Las Vegas where the water supply and air systems in the casinos
could be accessed. Strange after 911 I felt safer for awhile and traveled to
Las Vegas more then usual. My next trip is scheduled and I am concerned, If
anything happens I my not go. Respectfully submitted, Judi

* Despite any threat of terrorism, I've
been living my life as usual. This includes travel (mostly Las Vegas and
Disney World). My theory is if it's my time to "go" I'll be doing
what makes me happiest. Joanne K
* The world situation sure is unsettling.
After Sept. 11, 2001, my husband and I had a trip planned to LV near the end
of October. We are both in public education so our "off" time is
strictly dictated by the school calendar. We did not have the flexibility to
reschedule to another weekend (we live in WI, so 2 day weekend trips are out).
After attempting to cancel our flight twice (and thankfully being talked out
of it by the America West phone people!), we went. We had a great time! We
have gone 6 times since Sept. 11 (Oct., Dec. of 2001, April, July, Oct. and
Dec. of 2002) and we have 3 upcoming trips planned (April, July and Oct.
again!). Our next trip will take us first to LV and then to LA before going
home. I'm more anxious about the LA leg of our trip than about the LV days.
I'm sure we will go unless things take a drastic turn for the worse. I guess
we must continue to live our lives with some semblance of normalcy. But we
must not laugh in the face of danger either. I told one of my 4th graders the
other day, "I think our world needs to go to the health room to get an
ice pack." To fourth graders an ice pack from the health room cures all
ailments. Wouldn't it be nice if we could get a giant ice pack right about
now? Deb in Wisconsin
* I say take advantage of the cheap
airfare and room rates and let the timid ones stay home. -Brian J Atlanta

* Why should we do exactly as these
terrorist want us to do. They want to disrupt our lives. Many people wonder
what they can do to fight these terrorist, your survey has the answer hidden
in it. We should travel more, not less! I am making it a point to
come to Las Vegas this year in spite of the threat. I am also
buying more stock to help inspire our economy. If everyone would do just the
opposite of what these terrorist expect, and in a grand fashion, We as
Americans can drive them away as all of their efforts will become
futile! Howard Kendall
* You gotta go sometime - if we get
"shot down" or whatever I just hope it's on the way home not on the
way there. Whenever I leave Vegas I say to myself "now I can die happy -
a little poorer, but happy" lol. Luck to all Jennifer
* We're going to Vegas! Since 9-11
my husband & I have been on vigilante pins & needles. We've
prepared for a disaster as possible and have postponed our
vacation plans for more than a year now. No big disasters have
happened since 9-11. So We're ready for an "unreality"
break! We're escaping to Las Vegas and leaving the war behind for a few
days. I just hope the gas prices don't spoil our plans. Laura
Smith
* We have postponed our trip from Feb. 19
to October. Hopefully the war will be over. Scooke
* We are due to come to Las Vegas, via
Hawaii, Anaheim etc. in March - there is not way that we are going to be
intimidated by the world situation - we could just as easily be hit by a bus
crossing the street. When your number is up, it is up. Sue
Ellbourn Whites Valley, Sth Australia
* I absolutely will not change my life due to terrorist threats.
If I do that, then they win! Barbara Aroeste
* No it does not stop us. Bernard Crocker
* No it will not keep me from going on vacation to Las Vegas. After
September 11. We just can't let terrorist Shape or everyday lives
forever. We have to live everyday as we did before. Ken DeAngelis
* We are on our way to Vegas in March. We had our plans set
back at the end of November, but I would still make plans to go regardless of
what happens in the Mid East. The only thing that might keep me out is
if they identified that the airlines were unsafe for travel or that Vegas
itself ( God forbid ) had been attacked. Our plans for coming back
in Oct, are already set too. The only REAL thing that will keep me out
of Vegas in the near future is that we are planning to go to Hawaii next
year. Daniel Aldridge
* Hey people! I think if it's in Las Vegas, baby, let it
all hang out! I do however think that discretion is important. I also
think that "family" oriented places should opt out, and
abstain. Hey, Vegas is SIN
city. Laura Wilson * I
personally see no problem with it. While I would not partake in it, they
currently have Topless shows, so what is the
difference. I say live and let live.
