We went with some friends to Laughlin this weekend, using up a couple

recall where we checked in and departed without having to pay. . .

comfortable.

Hope you didn't eat at their buffet! <G> For buffets in Laughlin, I'd
stick with Harrah's.

No, the buffet that night was $17, and we just didn't have a $17 appetite. <grin> Actually, the adjoining coffee shop had a very well laid out menu, the prices were reasonable and the service was tops. Again, I apologize to all for calling it Atlantis instead of Aquarius. We enjoyed the place and for some reason, we got a little bit of the "thrill" of our old trips to LV. Unlike nowadays, we didn't feel gouged, felt that the lower priced games were a lot of fun and our money lasted a lot longer. <grin>

The drive wasn't that bad, since we live in Henderson, but I'd not want to do it each day. I have a friend whose practice is in Laughlin and he makes the drive daily, 5 days a week. He has a good reason for doing it, and I respect that, but wow- 100 miles or so in the morning and then again in the evening would be worse, to me, than a 90 minute commute into "the city."
