I weighed up getting one, but I don't read e books that often, only when travelling. And a tablet provides more options such as checking emails and watching movies/TV shows. But I do like eReaders as a concept and if I didn't collect physical books I'd have made the switch years ago :D

I'm going to be in Adelaide the week before and the week after (probably) but not for the weekend! Bah, my timing always sucks.

After finishing Dracula's Guest, I did indeed watch some Dracula films, and moved on to Dracula the Un-Dead by Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt. It was labelled as the official sequel, and Dacre Stoker is a descendent of Bram Stoker. I think Bram Stoker was the great-great-great uncle or some such...

Yep, at the Rio. I know it's gone under a lot of renovation, and it's probably still on going, but I'm hoping it'll be a nice place to stay. Even if it is a bit away from the strip.

More bookings have been made! Penn and Teller, check. Helicopter tour to Grand Canyon, check. Tournament of the Kings, check. I mentioned in the AI trip planner thread that I might ask ChatGPT or similar to come up with some activities for me while MrD is at the expo. And see what it comes up...

I've finished Dracula, I took a photo of the pretty copy I bought last year. I've got the Gary Oldman Dracula movie lined up to watch, as well as Dracula Dead and Loving it with Leslie Nielsen. But for the next book, Dracula's Guest by Bram Stoker. I've not read it before, but I believe it's...

While I've got a list of places I want to see while in Vegas in June (and have booked certain experiences already) - I think I'll experiment with coming up with an itinerary for a day. Because MrD will be busy with his expo, so I'll be free to do whatever. Could be a good experience of 'I let...

I'm also halfway through this too, forgot to mention it because it's an e-book and not front of mind like my physical books. I'm really enjoying it! But I also liked The Dictionary of Lost Words too. So I think you will like it if you liked Dictionary as well.

I have finished The Bloody Quarrel and the final one in the trilogy the Poisoned Quarrel. It was a bit of a slog in the final book, but I'm done now. Overall I'd give the trilogy a 3/5. It was very 'blokey' in that it was full of gory battle descriptions and quite violent. I'm currently in...

I have done some more 'research' by watching Ocean's Eleven. I think I will also have to watch The Hangover, although I don't plan on my trip going that chaotic. The flight sim expo is also planning some activities as part of the experience, so I think we may take advantage and book some...

I've finished the Last Quarrel, now on to the next one, the Bloody Quarrel. It was an enjoyable read. It got a bit predictable towards the end, so that I anticipated the 'big twist' when it happened.

I heard Lady Gaga was headed to Vegas, so I snapped up a ticket! I was hoping there would be someone cool in town while I was there (other than the already cool things in residence) so hooray! I think Tiesto is also in town while we're there, but I don't think he's performing at a time that MrD...

What a cool idea!

I've heard of this, but I go to the app store and there seems like there's a few to choose from. Which do you recommend? I will likely grab a players card if I gamble, since it can't hurt. If I earn something I can't redeem maybe I can pass it on somehow. Good tip on the morning games table...

Lots of great info there. I'll digest and I might have follow up questions :)

I have a Priority Pass membership, and I think there's a lounge I can access at LAS through there.

I keep seeing Maverick pop up in my searches, so seems the way to go. Thanks for the informative reply.

Sounds like a plan!

Alas, I am just an AF - an Australian Flyer. Not so frequent for me. One day maybe...

Is three months before a trip too early to start a trip report? I think not. I'm excited! We're off in June. First overseas trip since our RTW trip in 2019 (I'm not counting my work trip last year as a holiday) so it feels a bit weird. Anyway... Why Vegas? It's because MrD got invited to attend...
