* I will always come to Vegas, it is still the biggest and
the best and I live less than 19 miles from a casino.

* I happen to be a half-seasoned
resident of LV (7 yrs) and don't go on strip too often as it is just too
"commercial". I sure wish I lived here in the "old days- 70s/80s but I
would probably have left by now because of all the growth. The
"old-timers" must have great memories. Joyce Lodato Las

* We don't come to Las Vegas
as often as we once. We find it has becme very concrete, and has lost
that special quality it once had. Sharon Bowman Canada
* In live in Cincinnati,
Ohio which puts me with 45 minutes of 3 Casinos yet I come to Las Vegas
about every two months. I like to play poker and I find better games in
Las Vegas. Also, I think the Casinos in Las Vegas have started to give
much better comps in the last year or so than they have in the past and
I think Las Vegas is starting to cater to the average gambler again
instead of kids. K2259
* This year will be my fourth
visit. started out on my honeymoon 28 years ago, finally returned for
our 25th anniversary and we are trying to get there once a year. We
absolutely love it - we travel with another couple and the four of us
are in awe of all the excitement! We will be there in September
2005 looking for new and exciting things to see. Sharon Kull

* I am not a seasoned visitor of
Las Vegas but I have been there quite a few times. I think Las
Vegas is much more geared for the wealthy than the average working
person. I think the free entertainment is not as good as it used to be
and the show prices are getting way out of reach of the average Joe. I
am a winter visitor in Bullhead city AZ and when I visit Vegas I am so
glad to get home. I like gambling in Laughlin but I enjoy the Indian
casino's back home in MN more.
Thank you, Patricia Frink
* 2005 will be my 50th year of
coming to Las Vegas. In those many years I've averaged at least 4 trips
a year. I've already made reservations for a 3 days trip in January, and
6 days in February, so I just keep coming back for more of the fun. No
Indian casinos for me, no sir, Las Vegas is the place that still holds
my undivided attention because there is so much to do and see especially
when the slot hosts make me feel like a special person. By the time
spring is over I'll have visited Las Vegas 3 times, so 2005 looks like a
banner year for the many times that I'll be visiting. Allen L.

* We live in Northern Minnesota
and this will be our 18th year of going to Las Vegas. We generally make
4 to 5 trips per year to Las Vegas as we love the atmosphere of the
casinos Downtown as compared to the numerous Indian Casinos in
Minnesota. I particularly enjoy the "Live" Keno lounges in Las Vegas of
which we don't have here. Plus the nice rooms, meal comps, and the
refreshments that the local Minnesota casinos can't compare with Las
Vegas. And the slot machines seem much more generous in Las Vegas
compared to our Indian Casinos that are not regulated. We will be coming
back to Las Vegas on Feb. 8, 2005 and are bringing a couple of friends
on this trip to introduce them to Las Vegas. So some show tickets would
be nice!! We try not to patronize the local casinos as we prefer to
spend our gambling money in Las Vegas as it is much more enjoyable. And
with the good Lord willing we hope to keep on coming back to Las Vegas
for many more years, as we love it there. Sincerely, Forrest H.

* We like to go to Vegas once a
year, but this year we went two time. Just love the place it beats all
the rest. we are all set to go in 2005 . we may try to go twice in 2005
if we can. VEGAS YOU ARE THE GREATEST. G. J. Smith
* I am visiting less but its
because the price of everything has gone up. I'm not talking about Vegas
,I'm talking about here at home. I go to Kansas city to a boat. I would
much rather be in Vegas. I have a good feeling about Vegas. I love
Vegas. I'm hoping to bring my angle there this summer and we will get
married there. She doesn't know it yet though. Stephen Goodwin

* Hello my name is John from New York

Arizona Charlie's , Cannery , Ellis island on koval behind Ballys ,
Texas Station , Sun Coast , Boulder Stations. their is a lot more
to Vegas than the strip with all the cattle . have a great night see you
in Vegas . john Oswego, NY
* We have been visiting Las Vegas
for 5 years now and are visiting twice a year. The new casinos are
definitely a factor in our visiting. Las Vegas has so much more to offer
than other areas including Atlantic City which is just a two hour drive
for us. No other resort can match Las Vegas - period. We enjoy the
mega-resorts and also visit the "locals" casinos. With other local and
regional attractions as well as the climate (it's a joy to escape the
east Coast humidity) Las Vegas is the ideal adult vacation destination.
It is truly unique. Bill Sheneman Red Hill, PA
* Although we are an hour
from two nice Indian casinos, there's nothing that compares to Las
Vegas. We love the city: frequent visits to Trader Joe's, the outlet
malls, and of course gambling. We prefer off-strips casinos, especially
Green Valley. Being a video poker enthusiast, you can't beat LV for
numbers and varieties of video poker games. We winter in Lake Havasu
City, so we can visit Vegas often during the winter. Kathy M.
Rochester, MN
* Other cities can try to compete
with Las Vegas but no one can even begin to compare to the thrill of the
greatest city in the world. Sure the others may be closer and more
convenient to get to but they are just casinos. We have visited Atlantic
City, New York and West Virginia casinos but there is only one Las
Vegas. They certainly won't keep me away from the best!! John &
