List of what-to-bring
28 April 2008 by Two Crazy DogsI will be on my way to Vegas this Sunday, and yet I was still procrastinating on what I need to bring and so forth. DB kept telling me to bring the luggage from the basement, air it out and sort out what clothes I want to bring with me. He telling me so many times since last Thursday, I finally succumbed to get the luggage and the backpack I’m bringing along. Now, I have to figure what the heck clothes I want to wear. The temperature in Vegas at this time of the year is around 70’s and 80’s Farenhiet. Not too bad as long as it’s not humid.
So far, I have packed:
- Couple pairs of shorts/jeans/capri
- Jammies (need them since I’m sharing room with 4 others)
- A pair of dress pants
- A nice dressy blouse to go with the pants
- Shirts/long sleeves for the mornings (morning temps are around 40’s-50’s)
- and more sleeveless
- Sun block/shampoo
Since I have only 1 memory card that is only 1GB, I need to get another one. DB said he will buy one for me, a 2GB will be enough, I hope. I am bringing along my battery charger and reader. Hopefully there is a business center in The Mirage where I can use the PC (of course for a fee, nothing is free in Vegas) to download my pictures if I run out of the 3GB cards. Who know, right?
I was going to pack some instant coffee with me, but I was told by my boss that the hotels in Vegas do not provide coffee nor a electric kettle to boil water. I will still bring some with me just in case there is a kettle somewhere in the room.
Next I need to bring is a hat, a good pair of walking shoes and most importantly plenty of dough!! Hahahaha, I wish I could do that, but whatever I have on this Friday’s payday, will be what I have for my trip. What happened to the rebate check that Prez Bush says is going to stimulate the economy? We were suppose to get the rebate check deposited to our account today, yeah sure, na-da. Not there at all.
Every one whom I spoke to said it’s not cheap anymore in Vegas. If you want coffee, you have to go to the vending machine or to the hotel’s restaurant, Starbucks, or for cheaper version, McDonalds. Entrance to the Glitter Gluch is $15 for entrance fee, Liberace museum entrance fee is $75, if I remember right, gondola ride at the Venetian cost $50/person, breakfast buffet is about $17-19+ and dinner buffet is $22-24+. We might try a few slot machines while we are there and if luck is with us, we might hit some thing! 
If not, lose all, I will come home and live like this:

They said can check online and see when they will mail out your check. Not sure which website.
Enjoy your trip. Watch the music fountain at night, very beautiful.
Leena, hubs and I thought we would get ours too but tarak. just found out a second ago that since we filed joint, IRS uses the first SS number listed to determine the mail out time. So, hubs’ starts with 17, we will have to wait!!
Thanks, I will sure have a blast in Sin City!

We didn’t get our rebate check deposit yet. It’s okay though, don’t like to see that extra $$$ that soon, or else my heart, legs and hands get too coordinated and go shopping!! =)
I am going Disneyworld for 10D/9N trip in Sept. maybe you will like to join us.
Take care….
PS. Read your reply on the pepper spray,from 1997?
hahha, that is almost 11 years ago, that pepper spray must have extra ooomph..=)

And those were the casinos along the Strip.
Can’t wait to see your pictures. Mine was before the digital cameras. Film was precious then. Did not manage to take any real good night pictures of the Strip.
Hope you will be able to go to the Grand Canyon. Should be able to. Go in the morning and spend the rest of the evening with the slot machines or tables
And most of all….H wish you..(told me not to talk so much)
…..8888888888888888…faat !!!!

Good luck ! And have a nice time.
