Congratulations on your trip. It will be so much better when you can nonrev on other airlines and catch the nonstop, but even so all of us have to go the round about way every now and again.

You can actually stay at Circus Circus, and the Stratosphere on the strip most nights for about $40.00. If you ever stay at Circus Circus its a real Circus trying to get out of there. I have heard of people waiting for an hour or more for the elevators because the elevators work there way from the top back down. If you are in the middle or say on the 30th floor you can't take the stairs and everyone coming down is full and they stop on every floor going down. The trick is to simply take an empty elevator up to the top and then ride it back down.

Funny thing about security. It seems like whenever I show my badge I get threw faster.
