 2 days til first trip...getting excited! 

No question, just sharing b/c I'm getting excited! Leaving Tuesday morning. BF has no idea...total surprise for his birthday/valentine's day gift which are on the same day. I have made him a casino themed scratch off that I will give him tomorrow night. If he matches two casino symbols ( which he will) he wins the grand prize which is a trip for two to LV. Staying at Bally's. Did the TZ $56.00 North Tower room w/2 buffets each day deal. 1st nt - Got a limo picking us up to go to Casa Di Amori for Valentine's b-day dinner . - * Downtown 2nd day/nt. ( Plan on pasta pirate steak/ lobster for dinner? * open 3rd day ....exploring strip.....botanical gardens, aquarium, ? . planning happy hour at Top Of the Word ( lounge 107?). for dinner then more gambling...

4th day renting car and driving to valley of fire and Hoover Dam, then to dinner( ? ) Then to airport to depart at 12:45 AM. Sorry I'm rambling on..it's just nice to share my excitement with those who care about Las Vegas. Thanks for all of your tips the past few weeks! I'll post TR when I return. Please feel free to offfer suggestions as to what other things I should do while I'm there. On a budget( I have to admit we like to spend our money gambling) so free or cheap is a huge plus. Hopefully we'll win so money will be no object. Lol!

Don't over plan because just exploring the strip will take a couple days. The distance between propertiies will shock you hense the comfortable shoes.

Thanks everyone! Yes. I have been trying to tell myself that I should chill out trying to plan everything ahead of time as I know there will be way too much to do and way too little time. I am an over - planner/thinker BIG time, so...have to keep telling myself that.
