Candy, I agree.
Many/most of the folks who participate in this forum are Las Vegas veterans...I've visited Las Vegas more than 100 times over the last 40 years. While I do appreciate and read long and detailed trip reports (and I don't want to discourage those who write them), trip reports that mainly consist of highlights of new things to enjoy or avoid are more useful to me.

I personally don't care for the daily style, the Day 1, Day 2, Day 8. I can stay interested for 2-3 days, but after that I drop out, and I probably miss some good stuff.
Funny/strange stories, big jackpots (and photos), food stories (and photos), show/concert reports, hotel room critiques are all interesting to me.
But I can do without the precise hour of every wake-up/turning in, every valet/parking experience, every rented vehicle, and details of every VP/slot session. Just the exciting, big winning ones!
Disclaimer: I'm speaking from the perspective of one who has visited Vegas (and other locales) many times, and have read thousands of TRs. Some topics that have become tiresome to me are probably thrilling to others. So take anything I said with grains of salt, and keep on writing!
