I used to go at least 5 times a year when I lived in LA...have been back twice a year since moving to the northeast...I don't go as much for the gambling anymore for the reasons pointed out above, but still enjoy it is a destination as it as a place my g/f likes (drinking fruity drinks by the pool, nice restaurants, clubs, etc) and I can still hit the tables and do my thing so everybody wins!
Heading there for the long 4th of July weekend and looking forward to it! Might even pop the question while we are there if I can get my act together and shop for a rock between now and thennnn...
But that may be tough since I am taking off for a week in Hawaii this evening for another buddy's wedding...
