Today's blog update has pictures of the following locations:
Tropicana Hotel - On the strip. It's one of the older hotels in Las Vegas. The Tropicana has a lot of history and the hotel has been visited by many celebrates over the years i.e. Frank, Dean along with other members of the "Rat Pack", Charo and The Smothers Brothers have also performed at the Tropicana in their younger days. We've stayed at the Tropicana a few times, but prices for hotels on the strip are rather high while CES is going on, so we choose to stay a short distance from the main drag, save some money, and rent a car to get around.
The MGM Grand is where Dave and I saw "Ka" and the South Point Hotel is where we stayed this trip. It's on Las Vegas Blvd, put about eight minutes from the strip.
Lots of good things to say about South Point. Reasonable rates, great food and lots of activities available at the hotel. South Point has a large casino gaming area, a 16 screen Cinema, a bowling alley, a bingo hall, an equestrian center, a business center, an indoor parking garage, a terrific sports book (Dave and I did well betting simulcast races there) and, of course, numerous restaurants at different price levels (they also have a great oyster bar) - plus they are expanding. I'm sure that we will return, as long as the rates stay competitive. It was a fun place to stay!
