I like it close to Hawaiian Time, but I never noticed how early the sun sets or rises.

I would love that! Arizona does it successfully as well. I’m on board. I love Daylight Savings Time!

Visit Las Vegas at least once a year. Just returned from a one-week stay at Fitzgerald’s. The rooms (especially the mattresses) need some updating. This was our first stay downtown, but we will now stay downtown next year. The music, the street entertainers, the entire Freemont Experience is an asset to downtown. It’s great fun to walk from casino to casino. The buffets are great for the price. Hope downtown does not price themselves out of guests.

I have stayed at the Fritz a few times over the last few years. The staff have always been friendly and the service has been great. The rooms have always been clean and the beds comfortable. I am glad to see that they are going to renovate, the casino and the rooms, are out dated and are in need of updating. I certainly hope the don’t do what the Plaza has done after their renovation. I will be coming to Vegas the second week of April 2012 so not knowing if the Fritz would be open during renovations, I checked for rates at other hotels on Fremont Street. I could not believe that the Plaza for 5 nights would charge an average of $232.00 a night. Its the Plaza on Fremont Street for goodness sake, I can get a room at the Cosmopolitan for $183.00 a night that same week. The Vegas Club is charging $79.00 a night (they also own the Plaza), if their rooms are in the same condition as the casino they should be paying me $90.00 a night to stay there. The rates at the Fritz are cheap, I stayed there in Sept. and paid $136.00 Canadian for 5 nights (not per night 5 nights) and got a free breakfast. The rates will defiantly go up and I have no problem with that, but lets not go crazy like the Plaza, the loyal clientele of the Fritz will go to the other Fremont Hotels and Casinos if they feel they are being taken advantage of. Good luck to the new owners of the Fritz, I only wish that they could keep the name. Do you think they could call it the Fritz?

in reply to David Johnson’s comment: 6/11/11. The word punter in the UK really means a better. You could have a punt (bet) on a horse race for example. Over the years this has expanded to mean a customer (e.g. attendance at a soccer match. The punters demand entertainment and value for money)

Always enjoy the downtown. 99 cents shrimp cocktails at the Golden Gate.Always free music going on and the best people watching place in the United States.Vegas is value however you need to do your homework.HalfPriceTickets has several locations in Vegas for most of the shows offered. Also Vegas for Locals on Ebay allows you to bid on show tickets,food gift certificates etc. My last visit we had dinner at BB kings Blues club in the Mirage and the $50 gift cetificate cost me $26 on ebay…great food and live blues by the way. Do you research and you will save hundreds !

Don’t mess with the downtown! We’re generally twice-a-year visitors to Vegas and gave up on most of the strip because of the outrageous price hikes. Now we stay downtown, though we’ve explored Laughlin as a possible replacement for downtown should that area go the way of the Strip. Downtown is “comfy”, friendly, inexpensive, fun, and loaded with neat, smaller, interesting places to go.
