Shrader - I was planning on doing the same thing because my wife and I never go anywhere alone (without the three kids) and Christmas gift ideas are hard to come by lately. Glad you started this thread.
So I finished finalizing my trip plans this morning and used a lot of the advice from these guys in this thread.
Leaving April 25, returning April 28. Non stop flight via Southwest. Shuttle to MGM Grand from airport. Upgraded to a Deluxe King room over standard King room. Arrive around 5pm, plan on getting settled, walk around, have dinner, maybe play some BlackJack, poker, then get ready for full day on Tuesday and Weds to see shows, antique car exhibit, Bellagio water fountain show, Treasure Island show, gamble some, swim/pool, etc.
Really cheap and inexpensive flight and hotel. Looking forward to this trip. We have never been to Vegas.
Quick question guys: Can I bring cash on an airplane? I was thinking of getting my cash for the betting, etc. the day before and bringing it with me (to avoid ATM fees out there). Any restrictions on bringing cash on airplanes?
