Got a good deal at the Rio

no more 'shopping' than picking anything up from a casino gift or snack shop but much cheaper and more selection.

I've yet to visit a supermarket or convenience store in Vegas. But a good place to buy soda and snacks are the ABC stores. There's one Downtown at the Fremont Street Experience, and one at the Riviera.

Nareed, too bad you'll be there before me. we could have met and maybe shared a 2-4-1 at the carnival world buffet.

good luck on your trip.

I don't know. I'm so used to traveling alone I probably wouldn't know what to do with someone else ;)

good luck to you too.

I'm looking forward to my next Vegas trip in August, including 6 nights at the Rio for a grand total of $60. Then its over to Aria for an additional 3 free nights. This will be, by far, my longest visit to Vegas. I'm hoping I won't feel as rushed as I normally do during my typical 3-day weekend visits. I'll be spending some time at the pool, as well as some long, leisurely poker sessions (not at the Rio). Might even have enough time to do a Hoover Dam and/or Grand Canyon thing. I'll definitely need to check out the Twain St. route, and maybe find one of those nearby strip clubs.
