Store, hummm.

I wonder. I've been looking for the model of the original Enterprise ever since the The Air and Space museum stopped carrying them. It might be worth checking out.




It would make the perfect finishing touch to the theater room I'm planning...

Don't bother with the roller coaster at NY NY. Really rough. Pain.

The characters in the restaurant were the most uncomfortable thing for us the time we ate there. "Quark" came up and started talking to us in character. It was dreadful. That is the great thing about Disney characters in the parks, most of them aren't allowed to talk (well, I don't really like them but if there is anything good about them then this is it). This guy really didn't not have radar for knowing who was in the groove with his stupidity and who just wanted him to move. As decoration, he was great; as dining company not so much.

Good call, particularly for breakfast. Paris's buffet is our go to place for breakfast.

The only thing I would care to do is Vegas is buy Vosges Chocolate.

I thought they got rid of the Pirates show?

I need to see teh Star Trek Experiance - I've ment to each time I'm there but never got over there.

They re-did the Pirates show.

The Star Trek Experience was really cool but be warned that there are a ton of strobe lights. I came out of it with a migraine from the original one. I really liked the Borg one.

Someone else will need to coordinate it then

and no, I am not volunteering, I can't afford another Vegas trip for awhile

I'll be the advanced scout and radio back all the nonSwanky things I do while in Vegas.....

Unless anyone wants a one-way ride to Vegas on the 25th.

pirate show is not even really a pirate show. it's more like a really bad stripper show. i can't find the words to explain how ridiculous the "show" is... it will most likely leave you completely pissed off that you wasted your time seeing it.

bellagio fountains and conservatory are awesome!

check out the new interior of the planet hollywood (formerly aladdin) - it's quite swanky!

fat tuesday (forum shops @ caesars, miracle miles shops @ planet hollywood, mgm entrance from parking garage) is an awesome cheap bar with $1-$2 jello shots, 2 for $1 cherry bombs, and tons of slushie tasty beverages (you can buy a cup and get cheap refills!) - great place to start your night(s) off!

cirque shows: o, mystere, and zumanity are awesome... (and i hear love is as well!) ka- not so much...

water show at the wynn is quite awesome and very trippy... well worth the (sometimes enforced) 1 drink minimum to get out on the balcony to watch it... you can't see this one from the strip.
