Hi hon -

I didn't make it to DLV 2004 but am planning on 2005 -

I like the idea of a 'preferred or recommended' hotel -

Should be safe, cheap, friendly, accessible ..

A smaller property where a group of T* girls would have an obvious
economic impact to the management.

I've only stayed at three places in Las Vegas, but I think the Sahara
fits the bill nicely...

Cheap rooms in the $40 to $100 range, even cheaper if you sign up for
their players card and spend a few bucks at the machines or tables..

On the 'strip', but not right in the middle of it. I usually rent a car
at the airport and it's easy to get to most anywhere from the Sahara,
but if you're farther south in the MGM-Caesars-Bally area it's a real
pain to quickly get in/out of a property. Sahara is easy access off LV
Blvd. or the 'back way' on Paradise. I also did one Vegas trip using
only the CAT buses and Sahara is on 2 bus lines

Monorail terminal connected to the hotel. (is it running yet? if not,
certainly will be by next spring!)

Very friendly staff - I've never had a problem with T* issues... (Not so
important to me nowadays as I'm 'out' 24/7)

Clean rooms, fast elevators...

Downside: IMO, the buffet is not as good as it used to be. The coffee
shop is fine.

Like everything else in Vegas, it's about a mile from your room to the
car park (or it seems like it), so you keep a pair of heels in the car
and wear flats for the traverse...

Also, I've found the reviews at www.cheapovegas.com to be pretty
accurate, and their hotel comparator is at

Have Fun and Stay Pretty!
