Thanks Paige for the great trip reports. I thoroughly enjoyed every word. I came home from work each day to check what was happening in Vegas via your report. We travel and gamble so much the same way you and Mr T do, with as many coupons as possible. I make it a mission to be as frugal as possible and enjoy every minute of every experience. Our home casino is also the Orleans as we both enjoy our two complimentary free nights each. We also did the massages at the Tuscany (groupon) this past March. And we never miss eating at Ellis Island either. The only thing we do different is that we rent a car for the week. We are able to visit all the out lying locals casinos (Red Rock, Aliante, Green Valley, SouthPoint, Silverton, The M etc.) We also hit the North Premium Outlet Mall at least once or twice which is fabulous. It is just easier to do these things when you have a car. Check out the prices next time. You can still find some fabulous deals on rentals if you are just patient and check often for the rates to come down. I mostly end up renting from Alamo! I was so excited to hear you were from Milwaukee too. We live in Waukesha County. Thanks again for the fabulous reports.
