An annual trip, DAG? Well, maybe, if I start resting for next year's trip yesterday<g>.

Oh, those alarm clocks in the rooms! I have a post-it-note written to myself that I put on the top of all my paperwork that says "Check Alarm Clock". One of the first things I do is make sure the volume is turned all the way down and the alarm is definately OFF. Learned the hard way some years ago! Another tip, when I am traveling with my own alarm clock, is to set it for noon or so in case I forget to check the settings or it gets turned on by accident.

Ya mean it wasnt tuned to KUZZ?

So far we've yet to stay anywhere where the alarm clock caught us by suprise..except at home, settings were changed by the sneaky hands of a 5yr old!

Thanks for your report Daisy, enjoyed it as always.

Now i know why your poll was so hard to figure... we didn't know about The Deuces before hand. You'd be a good poker player, you have an instinct for check-raising lol!

I wanted to ask you, when you say the pool and hot tub are open 24 hrs., do you mean just the hot tub, or the pool also.

I get to travel a lot for work, so I usually check the alarms, but it did slip by that one morning ... and it wasn't C&W ...I like mariachi too, but I'm not fond of much of anything at 4:30 am.

The regular pool hours at Orleans are 10am-7pm, but they yank the lifeguards after 7 pm ... you have 24 hour access to both pool and hot tub at your own risk, as long as one member of the party is at least 18 years old.

Daisy,

Thanks for the trip report. Reading it makes those of us living east of the Mississippi wish we lived closer to LV. Taking newcomers to LV is always a great experience. We have done it several times and it is very rewarding. Our experience has been that the younger the newbies the faster they tire out. Hopefully we will be escorting our daughter and s-i-l to LV in March for their first trip. We told them that Mom and I are slowing down and they had better join us for a trip while we can still maneuver. See you in November if Southeast airlines keeps flying.

Fred,
Don't be telling no fibs, Beth and you might have to slow down for the kids to keep up.

Fred: "See you in November" - we will hold you to that! (I have already made my hotel reservations) Wendell

I re-read your trip report Daisy and I have to say, all the talk about the Monte Cristo, that will probably be my first meal in Vegas. Curiosity kills..LOL I have only one question..whats with the powdered sugar? Sounds odd...huh, this coming from someone as a child who ate cracker sandwiches, no not something on crackers, I mean crackers between bread..hahaha.

Jen.. (who strangely finds herself talking about food..guess its time to break down and have dinner!)
