Overall

This was a great place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there. The Hilton had a great room for one night ... but the Hilton's casino had the worst smell of smoke from the smokers, who where everywhere. The best parts of the trip were hiking at Red Rock Canyon ($5/car/day) and going to the Cirque de Solel show "Mystere" ... amazing and well worth the price ($95/ticket). Gambling was fun in spurts, but my last visit had been 18 years ago ... and I missed the clink-clink-clink of cash payouts from the machines. The "cash out" bar-coded ticket was easy and convenient but not very satisfying. The red-eye non-stop on America West was smooth and fast, but we slept very little in the cramped, hard seats. All in all, this vacation was better than we'd hoped. My 2BR/2BA timeshare was 20-30 min from the strip, which was great for "getting away from the crowds". Met my sister-in-law and her hubby for a few days as they came to town for a convention ... and had a great time with them.
