1. Tell someone "That was a dumb bet."
2. Go to the top of the Strat.

I had trouble thinking of a Never Again.

But since you changed the rules to Never Will, I will have to say any of the rides on top of the Strat.

Never get pulled in by the timeshare hawkers. Happened on my first trip many years ago.

I'll admit the night time view of the Strip is amazing, but not worth checking out of the hotel room,
checking the luggage with the bell hop, and hanging out on the casino floor with no place to escape.

I've done this and probably will never do it again either.

1. because our flight was delayed, delayed, delayed, delayed, mostly because it being the last flight.
If anything has backed up during the day, then it just compounds all the way down the line.
We didn't fly out until about 1:00-2:00 AM. aghhhh.

2. because taking off at night and looking down and seeing the Strip all lit up,
and knowing the "party" is still going on is just too damn depressing.

My personal, never, ever again is gambling a single friggin penny at the Rio hotel and Casino.

I drive by that place and give it the finger!

Back a long time ago, when I was a tourist coming in from San Diego, I suffered one of the worst beat downs, I ever had in my life.

Poker zilch, craps zilch, blackjack zilch, slots silch...

I must have lost 1200 bucks in a matter of a few hours, and I was a low roller...was not betting big at all.

Luckily for me...on that trip, we hopped over to the Gold Coast and I ended up winning most of my money back at the craps table there.

Unfortunatley, we were staying at the Rio, but we never played there again, and still have not!

I've been in the Rio a few times over the years to see the Sky Show,
eat their buffet, and walk the shops, but I have NEVER bet one cent there.

I will never walk from the Luxor to McCarran Airport again.

My second visit to Vegas. Many years ago. I was the newbiest newbie you ever met. At that time, there was a service that would check your bags to your destination in the Luxor lobby -- for a small fee. I took advantage of this, and was happily unencumbered. I could see the runway from my room, and the fact that Vegas cabs didn't take plastic really, really irritated me. I had plenty of time, and I'm an idiot. So I walked. I walk all the time. No big deal.

Besides discovering that it was too far and too hot, I became acutely aware of the fact that airports in general are not pedestrian-friendly. They aren't really anticipating walk-in trade.

(A few years later, I walked from the Las Vegas Hilton to Mandalay Bay. That was a piece of cake -- but I still took a cab back to the Hilton.)

You did what!?

I've walked from Hilton to Mandalay Bay but that took about 6 hours and multiple casino stops.

Damn. You quoted me before I removed the extraneous "the" in front of "McCarran Airport."

I think my walk from LVH to MB took about three hours, with a few casino stops.
