Thanks, guys! I don't think I can handle more than 2 (max 3) nights in LAS. I like a few slots but we hardly gamble at all. Some of the MGM offers were high rates but Monte Carlo had righteous prices for larger type suites. I suppose I could drag Boss to a show... DD--I will check those ideas.

M7, if you’re looking for a large room/suite and a spa, and don’t really care about a show, definitely take a look at the Palazzo, it’s one of my favorites. The Canyon Ranch Spa is nice, $$$$$, but nice ( I believe they offer a room/spa package) and Table 10 is one of my favorite restaurants. Oh and something else that might appeal to you, the Palazzo is connected to the Venetian by a looong walkway lined with shops, waterway/canals, it’s great people watching place.
As far as the Monte Carlo, it’s a beautiful hotel, but I’ve only walked through - maybe D2 has a review

I'm thinking about a run to Vegas in mid Jan. Want to stick with the plan of going via Palm Springs and renting a car and dropping it off in Vegas. I've done this before by way of Arizona but never have done it via California. If its too much of a hassle, I could always do the GREYHOUND run from PS. I definately, want to kick around Joshua Tree National Monument. Not any crazy overnight hiking or anything like that, but to at least check out some of the boulders and capture some great views. I haven't checked out where to stay in Vegas yet, but we have stayed at the Golden Nugget last couple of visits, but not definately set on the GN this time. I'm looking for an easy place to park and drop off the rental. When do the prices in Vegas start to come down after the New Year weekend?
Thanks MIg. We'll be just back from a Mexico stay in Riv Maya, so I don't want to spend oodles. I don't even like the entire Vegas thing, but I've only been there briefly. Boss used to stay at Green Isles on layovers but not a huge fan either. I just wanted to take him off-season, to see Pawn Stars store, eat some good stuff and wander around. I do like the Egyptian themed slots--not sure why but they suit me for winning...I think I played a nickel one at the airport for less than an hour and earned enough to pay for everything except the base hotel bill. I must be Mummies' favorite!

The prices come down after CES Show .. So after the 10th. The Greyhound idea is kinda cool. A one way rental is great too, maybe $75 PSP to LAS airport to airport drop. There is a shuttle that will take you back to LAS after the rental drop and you can jump on the #108 or #109 bus(lower level LAS) to the strip.
Everybody love Pawn Stars - It’s small, lots of engagement rings and show logo t-shirts, mugs etc. It’s open 24 hours, but I wouldn’t go down there at night, Oh and there’s a Graceland wedding chapel down the street- I saw Elvis standing on the corner.
Good luck with the mummies.

It's really crazy how Pawn Stars took off. Ask any local and they will tell you Super Pawn is a lot better. There is a new bar downtown - well, not that new maybe 2yrs, called the Downtown Cocktail Room next to 7/11 on Ogden and LVB. Dark but eclectic, reminds me a little of the Dresden Bar (Los Feliz).

I like Vegas, that whole joint is one huge bar.
