It was back to Harrah’s for their buffet to use our 2-for-1 coupon. Since Las Vegas is two hours behind Chicago time-wise, a 3:30pm buffet was equivalent to our semi-normal 5:30pm dinner time. This is definitely the best deal, going late in the afternoon and eating for a few hours. Again, there is so much [...]

Pleasant flight attendants and a good flight. It was very cold in Las Vegas when we arrived (think upper 20′s) but sunny with blue skies and we didn’t come to [...]
