Years ago I enjoyed the Beach myself. Free comedy shows and great Air Hockey, lol. Not to mention the more casual dance club scene. No Water Park, and now it seems as if every casino has a "Beach Club" of some kind that you can rent expensive cabanas at and get hammered in the roasting sun.... Not my idea of a good time because I'd be the one dragging ur drunk drowning *** out of the water to the paramedics, but hey, "To Each Their Own.".... Aladdin is Planet Hollywood, Hard Rock Hotel Tripled in size, City Center is open, Hard Rock Cafe now has a location on the strip (which is actually bringing in some big budget entertainment to their tiny little stage). Venitian still has Gondola boat rides, and the Tropicana is scheduled to open a Mob Museum/Exhibit/Experience of some kind soon. Yeah, if you come back in a few years, Vegas may not look anything like you remembered.
