Carnival Spirit ~ Loco In Acapulco ~ 1/23/09 ~

Gregswife · August 19, 2007

I checked out Fitzgerald's on Fremont, where we have stayed before. It says it isn't available those dates, but it may be that they won't let you book more than 6 months in advance. I also checked the Golden Nugget, which is the only hotel on Fremont that AAA has rated with 4 diamonds. Their rates varied from about $139 - 169 per night, which is a good price. If you guys decide you want to stay on the strip instead, a standard room on the weekend at the Paris Hilton is $89, and a suite is $309. It may go up before then, but that is what it was the beginning of last week when we were there.

Cheryl ~ are you guys going to fly out on Friday & stay until Monday? I think we will - if we can get a good rate.

I'm trying to book air/hotel combo with Expedia.

Thanks for the update.

Linda, we will probably drive. Greg is trying to talk me into flying but I absolutely hate to fly. I have to take Xanax to even board the plane and then I drink all the way to where we are going. I cried all the way to Paris and that was a long flight. I am going to have to fly to San Diego for the Loco cruise because of the winter weather here in Colorado and thru Utah, so we won't drive then. We will arrive in Vegas on Friday and leave on Monday. It is just a day's drive for us - but we may leave Thursday when Greg gets home from the office and at least knock out a few hrs. before stopping for the night.

we're driving too.....about 51/2 hours for us.....

It would be 9 hours if we drove . . .and about an hour if we fly . . . . .uh . . .I think we'll fly!!

Smoo - any other plans for hooking up as a group? I like the idea of a BBQ or dinner on Saturday. What could we do on Sunday?? If you guys get a house - maybe just hang out on Sunday at the pool :biggrin: - if we stay at hotels, could we all meet at their pools? Do they let groups do that?? :huh2:

Lisa - Chuck . .any ideas as our fearless leaders?? :ninja:

Planning, I think, is half the fun of the trip!!

Sometimes hotels will only let hotel guests use the pools. That's why I'm saying if we don't do the house we all need to stay at the same place if possible.....
