We had our welding class last night, which was fun but frustrating. I'd decide to make a steel rocket-shaped coffee pot but, umm, the engineering plans sort of disintegrated under real-world conditions. The galvanized steel I thought that would be so perfect for the body was way too thin, and essentially melted under any heat. So I'm back to the drawing board. It's still fun as hell, though, just cutting and welding and mucking around with stuff.
It's looking like I'll be in Vegas with the wife on the weekend of June 24th-June 26th. My birthday is the 29th and I've been begging and whining for awhile to go to Vegas, especially since the WSOP is cranking up around them. Assuming they have satellites I might try to finagle my way into the $2,500 PL Hold'em tournament on June 25th. Or, hell, maybe even just buy in, if I'm feeling frisky enough. I've been poking around a bit for cheap package deals to Vegas but surprisingly not finding much. Anyone out there in cyberland have any recommendations for online services they've used? The lazy monkey in me would rather do a package deal but I can also book it separately. Looking for a hotel on the nicer side, preferably on the Strip. Many thanks for any suggestions.

Southworst airlines, er Southwest has some deals. Look into those guys.
If it covers where you live, worryfreevacations.com is where I always book through. I've got a few ridiculous deals from them, but you just never know if the best deals will fall when you need them. BG and I paid $280 each for our stay at Excalibur with airfare for 4 days, 3 nights. Excalibur isn't exactly a upper echelon hotel, but they price out every hotel along with their airfare for you so you can see the differences in upgrading to wherever.
Try Travelaxe
you put in the dates and it checks all the hotels in vegas for you.
