    You could look at last year's detail to get an idea.

    Admittedly a lot of the list would be of more interest to locals, but will give you an idea at least.

    We have not bene for the 4th of July as we learned that we are not Vegas in the summer people. :)
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    ok, ok, on this new Star Wars slot, is it this one?

    Video here:

    It's kind of like the 40+ boys version of Sex and the City if it is - not exactly the same, but a couple of the bonuses are the same games with different symbols...Ok, looking again it's SATC, WOO and Top Gun rolled into one big ball of Starwarsy goodness...my husband is beside himself at the moment.

    And according to Caesars slot finder, they have it at PH...haven't checked any others yet. :)

    Re location of Polo Towers, it's less than a 2 min walk to the strip. It's just behind the Hawaiian Marketplace. We pass it if we are staying at the Carriage House and heading south. You come out between Tix4Tonight at the HM and the row of shops which has McDonald's and Fatburger at the other end.
    I remember that the bar at Polo Towers that juts out had the most fantastic view of the strip but they closed it. Does anyone know if they ever opened it again?
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    Sadly it is still closed. They turned it into office space. A diabolical waste!

    one of our Vegas regrets is never making it to the lounge at PT before they closed it...I think they were turning into offices or something (madness). Would be really cool if it reopened...but review from last Aug here seems to say it's still closed.

    7. I was disappointed that the photo of the lounge is from the past. They shut it down some time ago. It was located on the Strip side of the building at the Penthouse level. And it would have been a great place to have an occassional drink.

    That looks like the one! I didn't find them in PH though so I don't know where they are located.
