Just got back from LV myself and will be there again in no time.

Stopped at the Stardust (preparing to meet the wrecking ball in October)which has a little kiosk selling 8x10 photos of the openning day of the Aku Aku...

The Tropicana still has beautiful pool and garden complex nestled between it's twin hotel towers. I understand this place is destined to be bulldozed also. So Sad.

The Florida Cafe has exceptional Cuban food and drinks and is housed in the HoJo's just beyond the Strat near the remains of the old Thunderbird Casino. Have to go there every time.

I noticed Don The Beachcomber's is gone from the Venitian so I can only assume some progress is being made on their free standing property... but what about the rumored LV Trader Vics? Hmmmm...
