Rate Vegas

We stayed at the Trop the night of April 2nd. We had also stayed there in Feb '06 and we absolutely loved the mirrors above the beds (I highly recommend these if you have a hot wife like mine) in the rooms in the island towers, so that is what we booked for this trip. We went to check in and they had upgraded us to a suite with a jacuzzi tub. It was a great room although we didn't spend much time in the room as you never do when you're in Vegas. The first trip we ate breakfast at the Tropicana buffet and we weren't very impressed with that, so from then on we just walked across the street to the MGM for their buffet. We went to the Comedy Stop at the Trop the evening we got in and found that all three comedians there that night were pretty funny. Not too bad for $20 pp. The next day we checked our bags with the bell man and went to the Dirk Arthur magic show just to pass the time before our late afternoon flight out. We didn't expect much going in, but we were both pleasantly surprised with the show. A few of the tricks weren't that impressive, but we couldn't figure out how he did some of the stuff. Another place to hit that is within walking distance was the Shark Reef at the Mandalay bay. We were both pretty impressed with it and found it a better shark exhibit than Sea World's in San Diego. We spent some of our afternoon by the pool and found it to be a relaxing place to sit and sip a drink by the waterfall on the North end. The hotel is obviously not as nice as the other strip hotels, but for the price it is very good.
