leaving in the morning from al and will stop in Tunica MS for the day and night (free room) and then will stop in Oklahoma City and then Albuquerque NM at Rt 66 casino and then hit Laughlin the next afternoon and stay 4-5 nites then up to Vegas for about 25 (free nights) nights then back home the same way. did my synthetic oil change last week top off my air pressure to 37 psi as the fall weather just hit us and my tires dropped about 3-4 psi whole trip should be about 4500 miles. Oh and by the way the free nights are sometimes not always free LOL might even buy some scratch off tickets on the way also.

I have a buddy that lives there, so I go a lot. I actually prefer the local scene, off of the strip. Lots to do in Vegas besides hop from one casino to another.

I agree. I don't love the strip necessarily. Love mountain biking near Blue Diamond. Lots of great off the strip stuff to do. Steel Panther always does play on the strip, so we invariably to there at least one night. The strip is a great place to people watch.

Peace.

Agreed. I usually go down there for a night...but that's one night out of (usually) 7...

well got back yesterday had a great time.had a bad run of poker results but that's life i guess,the trip round trip was 4450 miles and used 157 gal of gas avg out to 28.34 mpg not bad considering 2 adults and luggage and a 3 wheel scooter tossed in the back got caught in 2 bad hail storms on the way home thought the windows were going to bust out was surprised to find only one small ding on the roof and if you look real hard you can see several other real small ones nothing bad though. while we were in vegas the car was saying only getting about 13mpg with all the stop and go driving and the red light waiting.so with out that tank of gas mpg would have been a lot higher.the traffic out there in vegas was really terrible they drive like idiots and you really have to drive defensively or you will be in an accident for sure. the journey drove great with only one hiccup and that was on the way back it said i was headed n/w and i knew i was going east so i checked the settings and went to the compass and did the relearning thing by driving in a full circle after pushing the button and that fixed it right away had to laugh on that one. almost got 30k on it and only had it about 1yr and 5 months. glad i bought the unlimited yrs and unlimited mile warranty, plan on getting my moneys worth out of it....
