It's been a long time since I stayed on the strip; normally I'm either at my parents' house in the western burbs or an airbnb near their house in the western burbs. Last time on the strip was close to 10 years ago, wife and I stayed at Treasure Island for a night before heading to St George and Zion and yeah, it was ok but not F1 euro-fan acceptable (and, ironically, we wound up at the Trump hotel for a night on the way back after Priceline offered a 5-star hotel in the strip for under $100. We'd guessed it was going to be the Trump based the description but couldn't pass up the deal. Nice hotel but gaudy as ****.) But I can't imagine an extra decade has treated since of those hotels well; TI was already looking dated and well-worn 10 years ago.
Probably will avoid the Strip next week when I'm out there for Thanksgiving since whole family will be there. But I'm planning to stay an extra night when i visit my parents again in January to just get one night alone with no parents/kid/etc. Sto just do some gambling, shopping, etc and otherwise get some alone time. Probably will stay on the strip for that one night, so it'll be interesting to see how it's changed.
