thanks | The one on the north end of the strip is outdoors, similar to Seattle Premium Outlets, while the one on the south end of the strip is an indoor mall.
I liked the outdoor one a lot more. The two stores there that I liked in particular were A|X and DKNY.

You'll hardly spend any time outdoors in Vegas, and even then, it's manageable for a few minutes if you're walking to your next destination. Quote:

I've heard the Star Trek Experience is being moved to Freemont street and that Quark's bar opened in time for the movie. Don't quote me on that tho... but those big drinks can be be had just about anywhere... any La Salsa would have it and they're all over the place

I've actually never been, I'm a huge trekkie but of all the times I've been to Vegas, I never went for the convention and only went to the attraction once. I figure I gotta do it once in my life and it may as well be on a year of a movie release.
I just booked my flights with Alliegent (surprised I didn't decide to drive again)... special on right now if you book before May 31st. Book a flight and hotel package for 2 adults for a minimum of 2 nights, the second person flies for free.... My total cost for 2 people, 3 nights at the Luxor came to $527 USD.... I used the money I would've spent on a Corvette ZHZ from Hertz

i went for 6 nights...4 nights is prob more than enough to do everything in vegas...6 is pushing a bit, but i'd do it again lol
make sure to check out rio buffet off the strip...biggest and baddest one, so insane. Go early or late or something though for dinner, as the lineups get retarded...disneyland-retarded...

I went 3 times in 8 months recently. When I was there in June or July I can't remember right not it was so unbearable every time we walk past a couple hotels we just had to go in to take a break.

There's one at Fashion Show Mall, the other at the Coca Cola store near MGM. I think there's other little booths scattered around the Strip too that sell cheap tickets as well.
July is pretty hot. I was in Vegas for a month a few years back for work in August and it was hot as hell, although you eventually get used to it.
