Which hotel casino resort on the Las Vegas strip do you think they should demolish? -

What do you think? Whats your opinion on this?

The casinos that were purchased with the intent of tearing them down were Imperial Palace and Bill s Gaming Hall. The corporation has now decided that IP is much more profitable doing minimal upgrades. Right now, since the companies would rather that the Frontier and Stardust were still intact there doesn t seem to be any obvious candidates.-----Four years ago an almost complete implosion of the north strip was being called for. That is the Frontier, Stardust, Circus Circus, and The Riviera. The Stardust would be kept inact but greatly expanded. Despite some impressive land deals, the entire region is in chaos. Carl Icahn will try and jumpstart the Fountainbleau project, but he might also seal off the building for years before he finishes it off.------With the City Center opening, and the purchase of Planet Hollywood by Harrah s, there is increasing focus on a cross strip along Harmon Avenue. The plan is to connect the two parts of Harmon Avenue over the railroad tracks so that the cross strip goes from The Palms to the Hard Rock casino.

Imperial Palace or Tropicana. Not going to happen for quite some time. It is the lower priced hotels that are doing better than the high priced fancy ones. With every new resort built pushes the other properties further down the list of classy properties. I remember when Excalibur was the best on the strip. Now it is an economy place stay.

I can see them demolishing wild bills, the flamingo, imperial palace and harrah s and putting up another mega resort. Granted this won t happen any time soon but I can see this evetually happening. I also wouldn t be surprise to see circus-circus and slots of fun fall to the way side.

the tropicana should stay there for a long time. i love that place.they should demolish T.I. just for changing it from treasure island.

None at this time due to the economy. It would just leave a hole in the Strip, an eyesore.

Flamingo

city center. just too big and there is no reason to go there.

About the Cincinnati Zoo? -

I was planning to go to the cincinnati zoo to see the PNC festival of lights. I was wandering if you can be dropped off at the zoo. Is there a drop off area where cars can go instead of paying for the parking lot. Thanks you

http://www.cincinnatizoo.org/plan/zoomap��I m not really comfortable recommending parking on the street and walking alone in Avondale after dark. Is parking that expensive?

Do you have a gun? Make sure you bring it! J/K..... But in all seriousness, as someone else stated, you probably would not want to be messing around in Avondale after dark, especially if you are unfimiliar with the area.

the zoo does have a pedestrian entrance. However, i agree with the others, don t be alone in Avondale.

Girlfriend and I are clueless as to what to wear during a chicago winter.? -

Ok, my girlfriend and I are heading up to Chicago for 3 days to eat at a fine dining restaurant. The only issue is that we are both Florida natives and are, even to our amazement utterly clueless as to what should be worn in a harsh winter climate like Chicago in January. Now there are two sides to this question:1.We basically are under the impression that a thick sweater and a heavy jacket ought to keep us warm enough, is that right? What should we wear to keep our legs warm?2. Since we are going to fine dining restaurant we also need to know what would be consider acceptable attire other than the jacket that is required for us to eat there. That is to say: What shoes, pants and shirt might be acceptable? Before anyone says anything about how I should call them, just let me say that they are closed today and today also happens to be a rare day in which I have time to go shopping. Thanks in advance.

http://www.corpsman.com/images/cold.jpgHere s very cold weather attire.If you are leaving immediately /// this is the next 15 day forecast. http://www.accuweather.com/us/il/chicago��All of the above are correct. Long underwear, scarf, gloves, sweaters, heavy coat. Most important A hat or hood. If your head is warm, youre warmer. Its better to layer clothes. 1) helps hold in the heat better 2) you can always take a layer off, if you get too warm.You can probably make do w/o boots..as long as you have an alternate pair of casual shoes, so your dress shoes dont get ruined.You ll get colder than most as youre not adapted to the weather.Plus, Chicago The Windy City is right on Lake Michigan..so they have the lake effect chill factors...wind..

Definitely long underwear, warm gloves, hat, scarf, warm (down if you have it) jacket. If there s snow in the forecast BRING BOOTS. Believe me, you won t look out of place. For the restaurant nice slacks and either a jacket and shirt or nice sweater. You don t really need a tie. But definitely dress warmly -- there s nothing that ruins January in Chicago than not dressing for the elements.

A hat, thick gloves, a scarf, and thermal underwear. For a fine dining place, go with a jacket and tie. Your ears, fingers and feet should have good coverage as they are the first to get frostbite.

you can buy thremo underwear to wear under your jeans a nice dress shirt and dress pants or a nice sweart with dress pants dress shoes

Wear everything you own !!!

casually shirt, pants, boats or leggys
