My in laws have a place on Magician. I’m the only Cubs fan and Rambler surrounded by Rita and MC guys. What Lake do you guys go to? Also, I think we’ve had this conversation before...Sister Lakes
Blue and Stoney?The islands.
Which ones? Stony, Blue or Rock?The islands.
Went up there a lot years ago when my son was younger. Used to see more Mount Greenwood/Beverly people at mass up there then I would see when we got back home.Sister Lakes

Lot of sun burns there as a kid before people ever thought of skin block.tomloner:

Nothing is cheap in Vegas - not meals or drinks. I do not gamble though ... no reason to comp anything for me.Another seemingly crazy summer vacation spot - Las Vegas gambling, thank God for air conditioned casinos and taxis.
I used to go to Vegas for a week at a time about 4 times a year before my daughter was born (>20 years ago). Almost every taxi driver would talk about how 120 degrees wasn't bad with no humidity.
I tried Reno one of those times after talking to a friend, don't ever make that mistake:
1) Reno is nothing like Vegas, it's more like going to a gambling boat in northern Illinois.
2) If geography is not your strength, I went to Reno in early to mid-March and Reno's climate is similar to the Chicago suburbs and all I brought were shorts and short sleeve shirts and it was snowing when I arrived. (See above, not like Vegas AT ALL.)
Vegas makes for a relatively cheap vacation unless you lose money at the tables. If you gamble quite a bit for a week they would comp you 3-4 nights stay and many of your meals. (At least they used to. I've heard that they have made the comps harder recently.)
When I was going to Vegas (early 1990's) everything was cheap except high priced restaurants. I have heard from numerous people that things are different now and significantly more expensive.Nothing is cheap in Vegas - not meals or drinks.

Lake Tahoe? No I never left the city of Reno. I'm not much of a sightseer or skier, but Lake Tahoe would have been a better trip than Reno.KJCHS:
I just returned from a beautiful lake up that mountain you may have overlooked.
I'm not sure what you meant there, and not because you used "persona non grata".Or are you persona non grata at the casinos there like another famous Chicagoan?
They shrink? I don't know how you guys walk around with those things.I got the worst sunburn of my life in Tahoe - fell asleep on a hammock.
It was VERY SOOTHING to jump into the lake, if even for a few moments. But there is LEGIT SHRINKAGE if you swim in Tahoe's melted mountain water.
Uhhh wut?They shrink? I don't know how you guys walk around with those things.
I am a dude! LOL. I was quoting Elaine from Seinfeld.Uhhh wut?
Thought you were a dude.

Juarez is very nice this time of the year too.Love Mexico, Acapulco to be specific, but Puerto Vallarta and Cancun are alright too.

If relaxation was all I wanted to do I would agree. But I've gone into the city in Acapulco and enjoyed myself thoroughly. I've also spent a week pool and beach side which was fantastic too.I have been to all these places. I have to say really love Puerto Vallarta the best.

Cancun was fun as a college kid, but now balding with the greys in the beard it would probably be too much to handle
