Oh, no doubt. I should clarify, I'm going to do all the coasters,
that are open, in Vegas (including Desperado!).

I don't think I'll ever gamble, though - I never saw the appeal, seems
like a waste of time and money. I want to see all the Cirque shows,
but I definitely cannot afford that.

I'm just really excited about Manhattan Express and Desperado. I'm
sad that Lightning Bolt is gone - I totally heart smaller Intamins.

High Roller, I'll probably ride cuz it's weird. Big Shot, of course.
Those two new rides that hang off the tower? FLIPPING HECK NO. You
could not PAY ME to ride those! If something catastrophic happens to
the ride, you have like a thousand foot freefall. That being said, I
may bungee jump off the AJ Hackett tower next to Circus Circus :) If
it is still there?
