Just out of curiosity, why drive in circles looking for a parking space while climbing ever higher in the parking garage, when you can pull right up to the front door, leave your car with the valet at no cost, and walk right into the casino? It's a breeze, especially if you use the north valet off of Flamingo.

That's the way I always do it but we can't so "no cost" unless we stiff the valet .....

I do valet park at some casinos but never have at the Bellagio as it's pretty easy to find a spot. In this situation it would not make sense to vallet park. One group was at the Bellagio and another went back to get our car that was parked at the New York, New York. They were picking us up at the Bellagio and got there a few minutes before us so they found a spot while waiting for us.

And at no cost I'm hoping you still tip a few dollars.

Absolutely! In fact, I sometimes tip both on dropoff and pickup.

I figured that was the case, just a little friendly teasing.

For anyone looking to travel this winter or spring, American Airlines is having a fare sale for travel through April 20. Tickets must be purchased by this Monday. Flights to LA, for example are only $29.

I just booked travel for nonstop flights to Miami for $104 each way! Total cost after taxes was $229.

Some buffets really mess with you. I'm not going to name names, but...I do have a special public service announcement for you.

OMG! The wind on the Strip last night, between 1am & 3am, almost blew my ferret away in front of the Bellagio! At one point, the wind lifted his rear end up off the sidewalk. And it was his first birthday! There was a group of tourists from the Middle East, in front of the Paris lobby, that cornered us and insisted on taking photo after photo, one holding him and another.
Snap-snap!

Couldn't believe it, all these tourists, out in that frigid cold and wind, wearing no coats, and some with short sleeved shirts! Yikes! They'll all go back home with the flu? I had long johns on, stocking cap and winter coat, and I was still cold!

It's pretty cold for us Vegasites...I didn't want to take off my furry slippers to run a few errands this evening. And my little zip up jacket didn't cut it.
