New member from the Midwest

Hey everyone...new here, but not entirely new to Vegas. I've done four trips since my maiden voyage in 2009. I've stayed at PH, MB and Flamingo (2x). My favorite casinos are PH, NYNY, LINQ and Flamingo. I tend to stick around center Strip or head south. I have a trip coming up in July with my best friend since high school and we'll be staying at the Flamingo for 6/5. I'm planning on heading further north for dining and gambling this go around. I've played downtown, but it reminds me too much of the casinos I can find in my homestate and I prefer the sprawling landscapes of the Strip.

I would love to do multiple trips each year, but between work, family, etc...I'll have to stick to the promise I made last summer as I was flying home that I'll just have to be content returning each year.

Looking forward to reading everyone's TR, learning more about some not-so-well known spots in Vegas and just getting to know everyone!
