One package manager that I can think of that rivals it is Pacman, Arch Linux's package management. I think that would be better suited. I agree that apt-get/aptitude is amazing and what not.

I would love someone to come out with similar for Windows, package repositories are serious strength of most linux distributions.

I agree... South Point is a decent place to stay with free shuttle and good food. But... it isn't anywhere near The Strip. Not like staying at Orleans and similar! Funny you mentioned cheesecake because that has always been one of my defining factors in the overall judging of a buffet! Must give you huge credit for seeing may of the "locals" casinos are attractions. 99% of visitors here will never see or check out what you did. Nice to see that someone is seeing more than just The Strip. Ted Newkirk Managing Editor http://www.accessvegas.com Thanks for the very real and solid post about Las Vegas.

The first time in Vegas is magical, second time is alright, third time is the same old stuff all over again. I know the pain of being in Vegas more than once and you have been there 15 times already. Ouch well hopefully next time you have a better place to stay in. After your fourth time in Vegas you shouldn’t have much to add.
