First time I went to Vegas was in 1993. Dad took us all to celebrate my wife's 21st birthday.
Last time I went was one year ago this January. That trip was actually for work, although I did have evenings free to play.
In between, wife and I have been to Vegas another 3-4 times.
I do like to gamble. I don't like to gamble high stakes. $2-$3 a hand blackjack is my game. I've found that downtown usually has more lower stakes tables. I've been told the slots pay better, too (I don't play enough slots to know personally).
When we first started going, food was cheap. It was easy to get comped a meal. I can remember my BIL and I eating prime rib at Binyon's downtown for $3.99 including baked potato, vegetable, roll, drink, and dessert (just a dish of ice cream, but couldn't complain). We ate it almost every meal; it was cheaper than the value meals at the fast food joints.
Food is no longer the giveaway it was. Probably cheaper downtown, but the buffets are better on the strip, I thought they had more variety.
We usually stayed someplace downtown, went site seeing out on the strip, and gambled downtown.
Last time I paid to go, I booked package deals (hotel+airfare) through a travel agent online. That's been several years ago, but from what I've seen in advertisements the packages still appear to be the way to go.
I would not rent a car. We did, once. The traffic out there is crazy, and there is plenty of public transportation available. Something new they had the last time I was out there was "The Deuce"-double decker buses that cruise up and down the strip. A 24 hr. pass was $3, I think. Coworker and his wife were in Vegas for the first time; at night we would just cruise the strip on the bus and sightsee.
Those are the things that stick out right now; if you have any specific questions just ask.

Today's Featured Article - Ford Part Number Trivia - by Forum Participants. "Replaced by" means the part was superseded. All of my part books date back to 1964 and New Holland have changed some part numbers. They usually put the old Ford part number on the package. I was suppressed when I looked up the part number of the auxiliary drive shaft because for some reason the part number went through a radical change and it lost its "Basic Part Number". Ford part numbers follow the following rules. Most part numbers are in three parts. The middle part is called the
