Go there a lot, the Flamingo is catty-corner to the Bellagio where we have stayed the last 2 times there. Know where it is because I went to a show there. Older place, smoky, they have real flamingos out in the back with ducks, etc, been there but not to stay. Toni Braxton headlining there and George Wallce comedian there now. Know what I talk about.

Yes, they do. 10-month teachers make more than 9-month
teachers. I know that for a fact. One of my sisters was a 9-month, one is a 10-month. They are compensated for working more scheduled hours.
Yes, especially if you are on a month-to-month basis
My mother had rental properties and has evicted tenants twice because her daughter (sis) decided she wanted to live there. Those tenants were pretty upset at the time too, because they didn't want to move. A landlord isn't required to have a reason for taking back their property or raising the rent. They will likely give you a good reference since you're been a good tenant.
A year after Katrina, all the landlords on the Gulf Coast decided to double or triple their rent, just because they could. Due to the housing crisis rents are going to continue to rise, because more people are losing their homes and looking for apartments. Its all about supply and demand.
The bright side is that working at home allows you to live "anywhere", so you could see this as an opportunity to move somewhere completely different. That's what I did, and I haven't regretted it.
If it is a month-to-month lease -
If there is no signed lease stating a specific time (1 yr, 2 yr, etc.) then it is implied as a month-to-month least and either the tenant or LL can terminate at any time.
I would look for a place pronto if I was the OP.
And she should get another job pronto too if the one she got ain't paying the bills. No reason to let it go on month after month, paycheck after paycheck, until you are in the street, that is just plain stupid.
If she is getting evicted --- there is more to this story I believe.
Las Vegas,
 in a heartbeat!
VEGAS
Call the hotels there and ask about packages and best prices. They used to give you freebies, like your hotel is free even. Go to places like the Rio online or NewYork NewYork, and others too numerous to mention. The Rio used to have killer free deals and I loved it there, had a suite with two bedrooms and a living room, a bar, etc. That would help you pay for your plane tickets if they still have deals like that.
he's got many, Vegas now too....
I am in Miami- South Beach has one and I think he's opening one in Fort Lauderdale, has one in Orlando, the Big Easy (NOLA), now Gulfport MS since 11/06, Vegas, probably several in California - he's on a HUGE roll.....*bankroll* *LOL*
Las Vegas
We get a lot people who come for the holidays to get away from the cold weather.
Just got in from Las Vegas so the weekend
should be a little less active.
No more charters to Las Vegas?!
I was just told by a travel agent that there are no longer charters to Las Vegas. Is this everywhere or just from Dallas? I can't hardly believe that they would just totally cut them out. I wanted to take my son to Monster Jam Finals in March and the lowest price I could get for 2 adults/2 children is $1552 for only 2 nights
No mor charters to Vegas
Hi, Not sure where you are in Texas, but Allegiant Air flies from Laredo and McAllen to Vegas and they are a WONDERFUL airline -- the flights are nonstop, however, they do not fly every day of the week and they also post the fares on the days you plan to travel, so there is no 14 day or 21 day advance purchase involved.
Also, regarding a hotel, not sure how long you plan to be there but I would check out Budget Suites -- for a week, it would run you no more than $200 and includes full kitchen facilities as well.
I used Allegiant when I flew from Las Vegas to Illinois and I left Vegas at 6:00 a.m. and got to Illinois at 11:30 a.m. Central time, they then clean the plane and deadhead back to Vegas. The last time I used Allegiant, I was able to get a one way fare on Christmas Day for $19 -- with taxes, my ticket came out to $40, so it might be worth it to check it out
Hope this helps.
It's within a few hours of Las Vegas I believe
and 35 years ago when I lived in Vegas - Pahrump was a very, very small town - probably just a dot on the map - maybe not even a stop light - think I heard recently on some travel show that it had grown - but then again most all Nevada towns lately have.
Considering there are cameras everywhere in Vegas -sm
if it was him it is sure to be on tape at the hotel. Hopefully the man is not that s*t*u*p*i*d to do such a thing, but who knows, who cares really. It would be quite ironic if he got locked up on a burglery charge though.
Vegas scary?
My husband and I visit all the time- he has nights when he goes where he wants and I go where I want- I love the shows, he does not- we split up and OMG, I am a woman all by myself out on the streets of Vegas… I am scaring myself! People are all over the streets day and night- I feel completely safe, probably safer than in my home town. Why scare someone??
Vegas trip

Vegas Vacation
"haven't seen a beatin' like that since somebody stuck a banana in my pants and turned a monkey loose."
My cousin went to Vegas for her
second marriage with just her brother and sister-in-law as attendants, then had a reception when they got back.
Trip to Vegas : ) Yipee!

Sopranos show in Vegas
Has anyone been to this show? Going to Vegas in the spring and thinking of seeing this show. We're very big Sopranos fans. Just wondering if anyone has seen it or knows anyone who has and what they thought. TIA.
OK, I'm not a Sopranos fan, but a show in Vegas?
a
Saw John Edwards in Las Vegas
not that thrilled, no time for most of the audience, accepted very few questions from very few folks so would have felt better if more able to participate than say 4 or 5 for the total time.
Where to stay in Vegas and what to do in Phoenix...sm
DH will be on a business trip to Phoenix from Nov 1-16 and I am going too. Have a laptop so will work from the hotel, but need some suggestions as to places to visit while we are there. We have already been to the Grand Canyon. We are going to the NASCAR races the middle weekend. Also, need some suggestions for places to stay in Vegas, haven't been there in years. We will be there 2 nights. Thanks!
Vegas, The Ghost Whisperer, and yes,
I love America's Next Top Model too. I actually love a lot of reality shows. I'm also looking forward to January when American Idol starts again, and I watch all the VH1 Reality shows.
Hoku/Vegas trip..see above..nm

Where to Stay in Las Vegas PhillyChick...sm
Just wanted to add my 2 cents! We usually stay with my sis when we go to Vegas, but in the past two years we have stayed at the MGM and New York, New York. I really liked the MGM - lots to see inside the casino. We aren't gamblers. The first room we were given at the MGM was very small so we asked for a different room and we got it. Things I like to do in Vegas: visit the Fashion Show Mall on the strip {across the street from Treasure Island}, the Bellagio - the dancing waters, the Forum shops, Eiffel Tower and the shops at the Paris, Fremont Street Experience - the light show is great!, and try to find Elvis impersonators! Nothing can compete with a Nascar Race - I'm envious - but have you been to Sedona, AZ? It is beautiful! About a 2 hour drive from Phoenix - I think. And Jerome, AZ, on the way to Sedona is an old western town that is fun too. Oh, almost forgot, "The District" in Green Valley in Henderson {suburb of Vegas} is a neat place to go to shop also. It is about 20 minutes from the Strip - very easy to get to. Have a great time at the Nascar Race and a great trip!
You're right! I did see carpet like that in Vegas! sm
Yours looks a lot nicer!
These are my two most favorites, but I prefer the CSI in Vegas...sm
I think Grissom is awesome!
Hotel Flamingo in Vegas and in Phoenix
my cousins who live in Scottsdale AZ used to own Theater in the Round in Phoenix for decades......used to be Broadway shows, then rock concerts, and today I don't know what they show there....
also, 4 sets of mountains surround Phoenix (and Tucson for that matter) - GREAT hiking and lots of things to check out in that regard!!!
HAVE LOTS OF FUN......don't forget!!! 
I'm giving mine a trip to Vegas

bookingbuddy.com showing cheap Vegas flights
Try www.bookingbuddy.com I just got an email from them a few days ago, and Vegas was one of the cities they were highlighting as having fares on sale right now.
Off to Vegas to meet up with my best friend from high school. sm
I have not seen or heard from her since our 30-year-old sons were babies. Then we found each other again on Classmates.com and arranged this little vacation. Tonight I will see her after all these years. I'm concerned that I won't have much to say (I'm a very quiet person normally) but we do have show tickets and horseback riding and shopping scheduled already plus I MUST find time to do some gambling (I live where there is NO gambling). I'm very excited!! Plus I booked Business Class tickets.
That Classmates.com is pretty amazing. I have connected with not only her but my first real love (and first broken heart), 2 girl friends, and 2 old family friends. I really love having this connection with the past because I have very few memories of my years until I was about 23 due to much trauma and it is great to go back and visit some good times.
Wish me luck!!
Monte Carlo Casino in Vegas on fire see it on

buy every month
Melaleuca products you have to buy 35 products points each month to keep your account. Which is anywhere from $40 a month to whatever you want to buy. You don't necessarily have to work the business part you can earn a check each month without actually signing up any customers. Customers will be put under you by other people and you will be making money off of the products that they buy. That is waht my mother does. She isn't in it for the business she just loves the products and still gets a check each month
$347 per month

Don't go out to eat except maybe once a month.
It's amazing how much money you will save by doing all the cooking yourselves at home and brown-bagging lunch. This includes those $2 cups of coffee here and there every day--really adds up fast!
Keep your goal somewhere in site...literally slapping a picture of your dreamhouse on the fridge or some place you'll be reminded every day of why you are making the sacrifices you are making. Good luck!
Since you have a month, why don't you
get together and do a pic of the team or even a few and frame it! I'm sure he'd like that. You can even go to one of those machines, have it blown up and have it say something special down below.
Also, they like gift cards to the local convenience store. Everyone could use a gift of "gas" especially when they are volunteers...
Happy sporting! Glad you had a great coach!
Ours is usually between $200-$250 per month.
Our electric company has some of the highest rates in the country...lucky us! Our bills usually go up a bit in the summer from using the air conditioning and running the pump for our pool. Electricity is definitely our highest utility bill!
Don't have your mammo at the end of the month, then.
Or it will hurt. Schedule it when they aren't painful. I've had it before, but I took evening primrose oil capsules for maybe six months. No more trouble.
Won't the be surprised next month
This happened to an older friend of mine. Poor thing couldn't get another policy to save her life, and it wasn't a cosmetic issue, it was like entire siding pieces that flew off of her house. Oh, they and came fixed it, then they dropped her like a bad disease. They'd better be careful. Just a friendly warning... I don't know if I'd let the homeowner's insurance in on that deal, I'd cut my losses and replace the carpet.
TOM = Time of the month (sm )
Was trying to be a little modest - sorry!
I know, she hasn't been on here in about a month or so
Hope she's okay.
I've had it about a month, it's almost gone (sm)
Dr. gave me an inhaler for the anti-inflammatory properties and a decongestant. I keep debating whether to go back but it is so low grade...I will probably wait another week or so and see if it goes away. Hope you feel better soon.
2- month window
and then there won't even be a way to give a bad rating of the dealer.
Will you come and live with me for a month or so? nm
!
wow you pay 350 a month for a HOUSE?
lucky duck, I pay 465 a month for a rented townhouse
Last month I spent $321 for 3 of us.
It's just DH, 18 year-old son, and I. We live in the Philadelphia area. We generally eat far less meat than most American families, but we aren't vegetarian. My son commutes to a nearby university and works there, as well. He provides his own lunches, and probably only eats breakfast at home half of the time.
Now, if you want to factor in what we pay for the meal plan for our son who lives away at college, well then... that's a whole other story! KA-CHING!
My 10 month old, Starr, does that, too.
I actually have pictures of her sitting in front of the TV in the office watching Animal Planet, Kung Fu Panda, and Transformers. I can see her tracking the action with her head and every once in a while she'll bat at the tv screen with her paw.
It's the cutest thing.
$250 a month is average for us.
We live in a TINY 1-bd condo and pay an average of $250 a month. We don't use heat or air and have quit using our dishwasher and have decreased our hot water usage. We unplug everything we are not using. We have been able to knock about $75 off our bill by doing these few things. Right now the only electricity we use is for our appliances (fridge, stove, etc.), lights only at night and when we absolutely need them, and for the TV and computer. We are seriously looking into solar as soon as we buy our new home as the electric rates here are crazy and can't imagine what it would be if we lived in a larger home.
I did about a month ago. There are other options.
Workin at the Q. Money is real tight.
But there are internet sites like Hulu where you can watch TV shows for free. Also at least I know on NBC who can watch some TV shows on there for free, too. Just about any news channel you can watch recorded news stories and sometimes even live if something major is going on.
Also, I found on YouTube that you can watch shows and movies. They have started putting commercials on them, though (same with Hulu). But who cares, you would have to see them on cable TV, anyway.
There are actually a ton of internet sites. I actually got into watching old *Kojak* reruns on Hulu (I know, but I liked that show back when.) They have a ton of old shows.
There is also Netflix or Redbox - you can get the cheaper options for movies.
I can watch my local news on the internet, too.
So, just seek out what options are out there for you. I figure even if it is only temporary (I have some job interviews this week) I can still watch things on TV but on the internet until things are better.
Honestly though, I will have to think about that because I haven't missed my cable TV not one bit.
