This one looks like a roller coaster car. It's on a short straight track (maybe 50 feet long?) You get in one one end, the track tilts down a bit so you're looking at the strip & then the car speeds toward the other end, where it jolts to a dead stop. Then you get to hang over the strip for a couple of minutes & do it again- oh yeah, it looks fabulous No thanks!

Here's a link...if you DARE!

My palms are soaking wet right now.... Who on earth would want to ride that thing??!?!?!?!? That is horrible. Could you imagine if that thing broke down in any way??? I mean, people have been stuck on roller coasters at the top of a loop and all that stuff. Could you just imagine being stuck out on the end of that track for an hour or two??? And how would they get you off the track??? What if the brakes or the part of the structure that stops the car broke??

OY!!!!

I went on the Hellevator when it first opened at Riverside Park (now Six Flags) here in MA. It felt like my balls were in my throat. I got off that thing and had such a bad case of vertigo that I fell over and almost napped on the hot concrete.

I went up in the tower but didn't go on the free fall thing. No thanks.
Glad to hear the rooms are nice, it doesn't look like much from the outside.

We are too sweetie!

Tues & Wed - are those your days too? I can't remember who's going when & I'm too lazy to look back through the thread.

Has anyone tried using Priceline for Vegas? I'll probably use it, I've had great experiences before, but I'm not sure what to expect paying. I'm only staying for one night through so I'm not too too worried.

Staying without going to concerts? I never even thought of that....Hmmm.... Anyway, I thought you were only going to be there on the nights you went to the show, so I'm excited to see you Promise you'll have a weird accent? (Californians don't have accents, you know... )

It's more Midwestern than anything, but I can slip into Southern. Especially when drinking.

I know, I wanted to stay longer to do the exact same thing... Midwestern?! that's not funny! I want a Kentucky accent!
Oh, and by the way, I just want to point out that for Californians, saying "I was all...." or "So then I was like...." does not constitute an accent...

I'm surprised you Californians are, like, catching a gnarly Stevie show when, like, you could be, like, catching a wave, man.

Ewww....

SoCal Pacific Ocean beach waters rarely get above a "B" grade even in the best of times. Especially now with all the rain, the SoCal coastal waters are one big toilet bowl......... unflushed.
