We have been 3 times now and will prob go back this year or next year. Freemont is pretty cool, as said the light show it neat (catch it before 10pm which is when it ends for the night). the casino's there are older but still can be fun.

 

not many casino's still use coins, most require dollar bills to be used to play.

 

you can make a full day of walking the strip alone easily, from the center it is almost a mile in each direction of casino's. bring your walking shoes, lots of people to see for sure. You will see lots of homeless people, they are generally harmless. Also you will see lots of flip/flip people (they hand out porn business cards for the call girls) they are harmless as well, just walk past them. Usually only see them on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.

 

The Paris casino is cool, so is going up the Eiffel tower from what I was told. We did the roller coaster at New York New York, it was a blast.

 

If you plan on going to shows go to the half price ticket both (that is the name) and you can buy the left over tickets that didn't sell for half price. There is one just past the Paris casino and one down by the flamingo and one in the outlet mall as well.

 

Hoover damn is a blast as well, bring walking shoes on that one as well.

 

If you want to see the pawn shop from Pawn Stars it is down by Freemont street.

 

I am sure I can think of more if I sat down.

Always a good time, though I haven't been since 07 before my dad passed away. It's definitely on the list of places I want to take the wife.

If you want to do anything at the MGM you can sign up for the M Life card(it's free) and then you get discounts on shows and events there. My gf and I did the CSI thing and it was about half price when we used the M Life card.


Also, I haven't seen anyone mention it yet, but at the Outlet Malls, if you are a AMA member (CAA) you can get the discount brochure from customer service for free. I think it cost $30 normally if you want to get it. Both outlets have a different brochure so make sure to pick up either one depending what mall you go to.

 

The volcano show at the Mirage is awesome, also the at Treasure Island they have a great pirate show to watch from the strip.

Dinos is a good dive bar and it's on the strip.

 

The Gun Store, shoot full auto awesomeness.

 

Texas De Brazil is killer Brazilian BBQ.

 

Yayo taco. Little store with great tacos.

 

And never let a cab take I15 to and from the airport when downtown. It's a complete rip off. Take Paradise.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
