We broke even most nights too. As long as you are putting cent in the slots you get free drinks!
The canyon is great, we opted for the plane rather than the helicopter, I hate flying but that had to be done too!
I have a photo of me and John with the flight captain and I'm as white as a ghost on it lol. The hoover dam from the plane is fantastic. Everything about Vegas is fantastic, well, we think so anyway.
One day we'd love to go back there.
We'd like to see Penn & Teller, if they are still there that is. Not sure.

The Grand Canyon helicopter is a must for me but my wife won't want to do it.
I won't be touching any slot machines or roulette wheels in Vegas though. Gambling is a mug's game. It will be good to see the sights though, and a show if we can.

Re: USA 2020 - Itinerary
Floydy, what about a trip to Roswell, and Area 51 ?, you never know what you might see
, mind you , be careful of the alien probing, I’ve heard it can be quite invasive, 
seriously though, it looks like you have everything planned, I bet you can’t wait...

Yes, the trip is still open to suggestions. I should be booking it later this month all being well.

I was thinking somewhere on the coast might be better?

Nothing to see move on
San Fran from the bay area am told one of the most beautiful views in the world.
Vegas will and should blow your mind but three/four days will be enough.
When you book Vegas will give you a heads up.
PS going there on 17 November for 12 days AGAIN

We've always been going to San Fransciso anyway and we've added Vegas too on yours and others recommendations.
I'm now thinking we should stay at Long Beach which will be more relaxing than L.A. and it's only a few miles away so that way we can still do the sightseeing there too.
