NEWS: The downtown skyline has changed :frown:

The Radisson Hotel (actually owned by the Port Authority and not Radisson) has sold to Crowne Royal... they have been taking the signage down all week :frown:

Westin is building a 30 story hotel on the west side too!

I think I'll have time to take pictures this evening or tomorrow.. Doubt any will be melting off just yet.

Got cut off by an SUV that was getting on the freeway. I VERY nearly ended up stuck in a drift because of that. Idiot just kept going like he owned the road.... There's one of your major causes of delays today.

BTW.. braved going out, even though I think the CV joint on the drivers side front wheel in my car is making some clicking noises. Not looking forward to getting that replaced.

wow! I can't believe all the snow! We've been having lots of it around here too. I got stuck in traffic to go 8miles yesterday for an hour and a half due to a hail downpour that was so thick it covered the road.

Way way cool.

My son-in-law missed a second interview for a job this morning. Was stuck on 61 from Cottage Grove for 2 1/2 hours. They're going to reschedule. Three busses are blocking 61 north of Wakota Bridge.

The snow on my big window in the dining room is starting to melt so I'm going to take a picture of my snowed in front porch before it goes too.

that snow ain't goin anywhere, it'll be around probably at least through tomorrow.

Oh, I know it isn't going to melt off the ground. But the stuff stuck to my screens won't last much longer. It's starting to fall off already.

Had to dig out my boots from the front closet so I can shovel. Don't think I've worn them since the Winter Carnival.

I could barly make out the traffic lights because of all the snow stuck on them this morning and afternoon. I went all the way in again for a class at 1pm and get there just to find out the class was cancelled because the instructor didn't show up today. Nice to give us some notice!

I have no idea where we are staying. My friend is breaking into the adult website business, and got tickets to the international lingerie convention. She made all the arrangements.

I'm just along for the ride.... and what a ride it will be.

Nice pictures me2! I especially like that last one with the framed Cathedral. Cool idea.

I agree, that was a cool setup. Wonder if/how you could pull it off at night....

thats one thing I'm waiting for too... I want all this snow crap to go away, so I can go take some pics of the cathedral....

I need to put my digital camera to some use, other than pics of my dog and cat, or incriminating/black-mail pictures of my drunken friends.....

Anyone been there?

nope....its off the strip...didn't know how to get there other than a cab...

I'm sure they have a shuttle but I couldn't figure out how to get over 2 it..

I just remember them having more coupons than any other place in Vegas. Must be to get you out there. It's really not that far from the strip. I remember going back and forth from the Stardust a few times and thinking it was easily walkable. But didn't.

I've stayed at the Rio. If I were going back to vegas I'd stay there hands down. It's an all suite hotel, which means you'll most likely have a separate bedroom.

It's really something else. I recommend the "Tilted Kilt," downstairs. I've been there a lot. Those of you that like to google can figure out why.

I've been reading up on it, and we have an upgraded suite - so our room is 1100 square feet - OMG, that is like the size of my freaking house.

Me2 - I have heard great things about flirt lounge before.. and I can't wait!

The friend I am going with is going to make this one heck of a trip - Knowing her we will end up in some VIP party somewhere.

Perhaps this time I won't get kicked out of a cab... I didn't even know it was possible to get kicked out of a cab, but apparently you can if you are that drunk and obnoxious.

Its possible to get kicked out of anyplace/thing... when you're drunk

the metrodome (twice in the same night)
