AIR – US Airways was great, the fare was excellent, the service was excellent and we’ll definitely fly them again
HOTEL – The Flamingo was fantastic. We loved the pool and the excellent central location, and would definitely stay there again. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the room service was very good. The only complaint is the lack of drink service by the cocktail waitresses on the casino floor.
SHOWS – The Rat Pack and Trent Carlini shows were OK. We enjoyed both shows, but don’t need to see either again.
BUFFETS – The Mirage’s Cravings, Harrah’s Flavors, and Rio’s Buffet were all really good. In year’s past these buffets didn’t rate so well, but they’ve certainly improved their offerings from what we experienced. We’d rate them strong 9s to 10s, and getting very close to the three best buffets in Vegas (Spice Market at Planet Hollywood, Le Village at Paris, and Bellagio’s buffet).
GAMBLING – Had a ton of fun. Only lost $200 between the two us during our 6 day visit, and that’s a small price to pay for that kind of entertainment!
GRAND CANYON – We loved it! Definitely recommend booking your tour with King Airlines. Their customer service is fantastic, the air tour was amazing, the pilots are great guys, and they run a very efficient and professional operation. A++, and will definitely do this tour again.
