Seeing these mountains so close out the motel window is killing me.

Saddle up and run like hell to get out of there.

I hate the strip, but love downtown. Unfortunately, Derrick Stevens is trying to make it a mini version of the strip. May ultimately have to go to Reno, but not quite yet.

I spent a scary morning in Reno once. I'll just stay up and those hills at Gellar is staring at.
Don't know the difference between the strip and the downtown. I thought it was the same thing. Obviously, I don't have a lot of experience.
Go to Reno. mtmuley

Last time I was there it had a bit too much sheep-f***er vibe, but maybe I should try again.
I'm not much for the big city vibe being from Montana. I lived in a small town out of Carson City starting in 1988. I'm sure it's much different now. But it was a great area back then. mtmuley

All I will say is Frisco must be really bad, if anyone prefers Vegas, to it.
The several times I had to go to Vegas for a convention of some sort, nearly every time I witnessed a husband and wife arguing about one of them losing too much money gambling. This would be, at say, 7AM in the morning as my day was beginning and presumably their day was ending.
My wife and I went to Reno for part of our honeymoon, many years ago. It had a better feel to it than Vegas has ever given me.

Frisco is just a run of the mill 4th ring suburb of Dallas. Nothing wrong with that, just not a great tourist destination- but likely a much better place to live than LV.
I am way too cheap and crowd averse to enjoy Vegas, but I have been there twice during the first two rounds of March Madness- that can be a good time if you like that sort of thing.
Downtown is more fun than the strip for me personally, kind of seems like it’s a bit like what Vegas used to be back in the day.

And here I was thinking it was San Francisco -- I really need to get out more.
I think I'll go do Duluth next week.

Frisco is a damn fine self contained bedroom community for high earners.
Haven’t been in any bedrooms around those parts, but they do have Hard 8 bbq down the road

Thats the best bbq ive ever had. You can say a lot about texas and texans - but when it comes to bbq theyre unmatched.Haven’t been in any bedrooms around those parts, but they do have Hard 8 bbq down the road
Me too, hit it a few times a year. I know Texas is a brisket state, but their pork ribs are my favorite thing there. So awesome.
