We had a great time August 2020 during the height of the pandemic. No one was there and I didn't have to really interact with anyone. Can't see myself going back anytime soon since we have all the table games (except roulette) here in AZ + sports betting.
I hear you, I’m somewhat past that. That was my earlier years of going there. Pool parties, nightclubs, lounges….sleep repeat. Now, it would be shows and fancy dinners and sun tanning. Maybe some gambling

Tommy - A lot has changed in the almost decade since you've been there. I am eternally grateful I got Vegas out my system when I was young. I loved it so much I disappeared into Vegas and didn't resurface again for about three years. I barely made it back to reality. I don't want to get into it but all the cliches? Oh they all happened and lemme tell you, they aren't cliches, they're warnings.

wtwo3 - You and the Mrs would enjoy it purely based on the cuisine alone, even if you weren't interested in gambling, shows, concerts, et all. That's the one thing Tommy has missed out on - there's a bunch of Michelin star restaurants on the Strip now. All the celebrity chefs have multiple restaurants. The $2.99 steak, eggs, hash brown and toast (RIP Holy Cow Restaurant ) meals have been replaced with buffets that rival fine dining-ish.
I hear you loud and clear. We used to go 3-4 times a year. Met my wife there when we were both there for work conferences. Used to attend SEMA every year….I’m sure it changed big time, I just like the walking and the glitz….I’ll just be in bed by 11 nowadays instead of 5am
