Hi,Creighton
I was just there on Business 2weeks ago. If you want sticker shock on a couple of restored machines Check an Antique store in Ceasers .Other then that not much help..

The World of Coca Cola closed up, except for a gift shop. I was out there in late '99 when the museum was open and that's where the bug bit me. I went back in 2001 all hyped to revist the place and the museum part was shut down.

There's a huge Coke bottle( 2 stories high) on the strip where you can buy discount show tickets. Might be a photo op for you. That antique shop in Ceaser's Forum Shops has a lot of fun stuff to look at. The yard long Margarita's are tasty, too, also Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville. Have fun!!

Sad to hear that the Las Vegas World of Coke closed. The World of Coke, Fifth Ave has also closed. I try to make the World of Coke in Atlanta each year during Thanksgiving weekend. They have a tree lighting ceremony and issue a special bottle. Have fun in Vegas.

Try racing the Nascar simualtors in the Sahara casino. Lots of fun!! The "comedy stop" in the tropicana is also good for laughs and a good time. There's also the "red rooster" antique mall that's always good for soda finds.

Thanks so very much all!! Had a great time.
Old habits die hard so here is the "trip report":
Eric: The Imperial/Harrah car collection was just outstanding, tricky to find but 100 or so of great cars. 3 Model J's (one had been WC Fields), Bunch of RR's, a 1910 National, BOSS 429 with 2200 miles, GT-500 KR 1600 miles etc.. Tucker was gone. Most cars there are for sale so who knows.
Counted better than 40 jukes spread about. Mostly decent orginal wood faced Wurls's. Also for sale, everything except a couple of very clean Mopars was overpriced (MHO). For car/jukes folks a must see.
Lulu: Can't miss that coke bottle. Very cool appeared to be an elevator inside. Things took a lot longer than expected and didn't get to check it out. Spent way too much $ at JB's Margaritaville, but hey it's 5:00 somewhere :-)
KeithM: I owe ya for the beer hall call!! That was the spouse surpise dinner event and the most fun of the trip. We get to Germany now and again and that place is spot on. Aton, Aton... hoisht!!! Bit pricey but worth it. Still laughing about the LV natives adaptation of the "chicken dance".
Didn't get a chance to hit Red Rooster mall. The trusty dig cam decided to croak so sorry no pics. Las Vegas gets a thumbs up, the streets can't handle the traffic though so expect delays. Great airport.
