Just wanted to drop you a quick note since I recently completed my visit to Ellis Island.  Actually won $40.00.  People were friendly.  Wasn't able to take advantage of my free steak dinner, but the players club hostess was quite knowledgeable about your contest and the free dinner.  Hope to hear from you around Dec. 25th!) Also attended the Hypnolarious show at Bourbon Street.  It was a blast.  Terry Stokes was very friendly and entertaining. I really enjoy your newsletter especially since we live in Massachusetts and can't afford to make frequent trips to Vegas.  It is nice to stay informed and feel on top of things with your information.  Keep up the good work and thanks!

My wife and I recently spent a week in Las Vegas. We stayed at the Four Queens. This was probably the best trip we've had to Vegas. Downtown has so much to offer. The strip is okay if you haven't seen it and are willing to walk miles and miles through millions of people. Most of our time was spent right downtown playing at the Queens, Fitzgerald's, Main Station, and Nugget. Also visited all other casinos downtown to a small extent. Ate late night/early morning breakfast at Binion's basement restaurant. Great price and food was edible. The Four Queens was outstanding. Room was small, but not cracker box. Very clean and the maids were excellent, which is why I tipped them daily. Cocktail waitresses at the Queens very efficient and always available and drinks were not watered down. Our casino host, Marty, was a great gal and took care of all requests. Looking forward to return trip to the Four Queens. Gene and Kathy G.

We were in Vegas for 10 days and ate out twice a day. Hugo's Cellar was recommended by you as one of the favorites so we made reservations. From the greeting to the seating to the food was wonderful...and they top it off with a fresh red rose for lady guests. Our waiter made our evening...great service, great food, and atmosphere to compliment everything. Dr and Mrs. John J. Booth, Sr  Gulf Coast of Mississippi

After several trips to Vegas, the wife and I finally put aside all the bad things we had heard about downtown (Fremont St.) and went there. Much to our surprise, we had the best time we have ever had in Vegas . The tables were much more relaxed, the dealers were much MUCH more pleasant than the dealers on the Strip. We are not dummies and we know that odds are that you are going to loose your money in Vegas, the point of gambling is not just to win but to have fun period; win or loose. Downtown Casinos, with the exception of the Nugget, made loosing my money a blast. The hotel was a little dumpy, however if you calculate the time we actually spent in the room, it amounts to less than 6 hours in a 24 hour time period. Trust me the only thing we were looking at after this many hours of having fun was the back of our eyelids. So why dump a bunch of money in a fancy room that you don't use. The food downtown was not as lavish as on the Strip, however we were "comped" at every Casino (except the Nugget) for our meals. When we later compared what we actually ate as compared to the larger buffets, it was pretty much the same. In short, on future trips, we'll still attend shows on the Strip, but were giving the easy money to the Fremont Street Experience.  Bryan Wildermuth Continental, Ohio

I would like to compliment and congratulate ART, president of Las Vegas Cruising Association. This year marks his 23yrs of organizing car shows in the Las Vegas area. I attended  several, met nicest people and was able to see the great accomplishments by the car owners! Hats off to a great organizer bringing these great car creators together for everyone to enjoy.  Gary Waters

Assistance, yes. Thank you. This was the most helpful sight in all of my search for travel and hotel accommodations in the last 3 days. Truly helpful. Thanks again.  Dede Munson

I recently returned from Las Vegas, within the month, and stayed at the Imperial Palace as usual. I was there for my birthday. I couldn't have been more pleased with the visit there. I won a  few jackpots, not large but good enough. I accumulated points on my player card and won many prices in the form of dining and a free stay there at a date of my choosing. The staff were most helpful and courteous, as they always are. The room was free, for I had accumulated a large amount of reward points and was always clean. I can't remember in fact when I have had to pay for a room. I did pay for it in playing the machines but it is great to be rewarded for doing so. Maybe I should not boast! Anyway, I recommend the Imperial Palace to all new and repeat visitors to Las Vegas. I believe all will be more than satisfied with their choice of the IP as their Hotel/Casino. I am already planning for another return visit.  Chuck Middagh from Arizona

You have the real stuff. I made copies of coupons, we went to places that we would like instead of wasting our time which is so short on Vegas visits. thank you.  Wallacercs  

Hi Richard, Just wanted to let you know how thrilled (and that is putting it mildly) I was to receive the two free tickets for the survey. We will be in Vegas in March so are really looking forward to this 'treat'. Thank you again and also for all the great things you have on your site - am 'passing the word along' to other Aussies going your way. Cheers from down under, Sue Ellbourn

I commented before and it didn't appear. I just want to reiterate that your information is a gold mine for first time visitors to Vegas as well as for those who have been before. You have a fantastic selection of categories of any topic that could be chosen to enhance any visit there. Please continue to keep up the good work. Than you.  Chuck Middagh  AZ
