If only we had the time.

I figured Vegas would be the same way. If you have any money, you are afraid to part with it. <BR/>Hugs, JoyceJoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04868920753749973881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-12095104571008398532009-01-11T17:56:00.000-05:002009-01-11T17:56:00.000-05:00Hi Beth,You're definitely right ...

When the Bellagio offers to lower their rate from $350 to $128 to get you to stay another night, you know they're in pain. Hotels are usually fully booked during the CES show but this time, there were vacancies all over town. Not to mention the fact that all these buildings had been going up at a feverish pace ... now the condos are sitting there unsold or in foreclosure.<BR/>Best,<BR/>MartyMartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696228344180197628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-89401231043202982202009-01-11T17:30:00.000-05:002009-01-11T17:30:00.000-05:00I worked as a long distance operator from July 196...I worked as a long distance operator from July 1960 thru September 1964, so I definitely remember the old phone numbers. You could actually tell which part of town a caller lived in by the name of their prefix. I frequently drive by 2 different casinos here near my home and there's rarely an empty parking place. Of course I'm sure most of the patrons in Vegas are tourists. These local casinos don't seem to be hurting one little bit. Yes Ceasar's Palace is gi-nor-mus! It goes on forever.

I think prices have been falsely inflated over the past decade (or more) because our country was so affluent. I appreciate that costs are going down due to the recession. It was a shock to me to find out how cheap rent is here in the mountains compared to the northern Atlanta suburbs and Jacksonville (the other two places I've lived in the past few years). I enjoy that the cost of living is a bit less here. Of course... my financial situation changed to the extent of not being able to travel any time soon... but it's nice to know that if I could... it would cost less! I'm so glad you guys had a good time in Vegas. I have great memories of that place (and none were from my honeymoon! Ha!)<BR/><BR/>Love, hugs and prayers!<BR/>heatherHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16177522637630437113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-50081981696228782782009-01-11T14:16:00.000-05:002009-01-11T14:16:00.000-05:00I remember watching Hee Haw!
