Finally, I am back in WI for more then two days at a time. Maybe I can get some work done.
Spent most of the last three weeks in Vegas and Laughlin. Really nothing new in either city.
I told every one on the plane, returning from Laughlin, on Fri. that the slot machines were very tight.
I was out $17.00. If you feel sorry for me, I do accept donations, clothes, housing, food, cars, jewelery. Alright, I'm just kidding. But not about the money, I was really out $17.00.

The question has came up too many times for me not to respond. My company Fun-Day, Inc was founded in 1988. I started doing charters for Laughlin in 1995 and for Harrah's in Laughlin in 1998. I was the ONLY WI. rep for Harrah's at that time. It was my job to fill all of the planes from WI.

Later Wojo Tours convinced Harrah's to let him put people on the flights.

We are competitors.

I have not set up any Vegas flights for July or Aug. Last year most people said that it was too hot and they did not want to during the summer.
Your thoughts?

Ak-Chin tells me that their new hotel will be ready by late July.
I will check back with them after that.

Is the Grand Casino in Bossier City worth going to?

Two new Harrah's are been built in Ohio. One to open this year and the other to open in 2012.

Ak Chin Casino told me that they do not have enough rooms in their hotel to handle groups, but as soon as they add more rooms, I can set it up. If any of you get there let me know the progress of the new hotel.

This is for all 4 of the people that read my blog. Sorry that have neglected keeping this up-dated.
Will try to do better, but as you know I am really not around much.
Good news. St. Louis wants us back. Will try to set up a flight in spring.
Reno/Lake Tahoe also wants me to bring in a group this spring, but, I can not find a direct flight from WI. I do believe that if you want to go there you should be willing to change planes. Let me know your thoughts.
Las Vegas from Appleton has become difficult. Allegiant Air, they fly direct from Appleton, dissolved their group tour booking department. I can not buy tickets and later give Allegiant names. Must have the names first, then buy tickets in those names. They will not allow name changes. So if you sign up for Vegas out of Appleton, the ticket is purchased in your name, if you don't go, you will be billed the full cost of your ticket.
Which Harrah's properties would you like to go to?
If enough people want the same place, I will be happy to set it up.

May your stuffing be tasty,
May your turkey be plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
never have a lump.
May your yams be delicious
and your pies take the prize,
and may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

Jim

Thanks for the info about the tram. Will look for it when I'm back in Vegas, first week in Nov.
A few changes. As of now there will not be any charters going to Reno/Lake Tahoe in 2011. Reno wants me to bring guests out on commercial flights. If anyone knows if there are direct flights from WI. to Reno please let me know.

Atlantic City is trying to cut back on their charters. They will let me have a flight out of Milwaukee in March if I agree to fill 100 seats. Do any of you want to go to AC and could you bring 50 friends?

We have added some Tunica flights, check the web site @ fun-day.com
My web master keeps the flights up to date, but don't look at the bus schedules.

Going back to Laughlin on Thursday. Must leave home by 3:30 am. It is a 8:15 am flight. First time that a Laughlin flight has left before noon. Maybe I should drive to Milwaukee Wed. night. But then I would spend all of my gambling money ($50.00) on a room.

Hi,
Got back last night from Vegas. lots of weddings on 10/10/10, but not me. The Flamingo alone had 72 weddings that day. Went to see Donnie & Marie Osmond, it was so, so. Saw Human Nature, wonderfil show. They were just voted "best singers in Vegas".
Will leave Friday for Council Bluffs. Beside gambling Harrah's is giving all of my people a ticket to the Carrie Underwood Concert.
New flights out this week, from Milwaukee, include:
Laughlin January 13-17
(for those that qualify for Vegas)
Las Vegas, April 1-5
Las Vegas, May 13- 17
I'm supposed to hear from Tunica on Oct. 20 about Wisconsin charter flights for the first quarter of 2011.

Just got back from Atlantic City, love it there, but it was raining and windy and they wanted to take my money. Going to Vegas on Friday. Planning on going to a couple of shows. Diamond card holders receive two free show tickts for certain shows. A lot of shows there with people that I never heard of. Help me out here. Who or what is:
Geo. Wallace (wasn't he a politician?)
Vinnie Favorito
Nathan Burton (sounds like a magician)
Mac King ( brother to Burger King ?)
Matsuri
If you are on my New Orleans flight, Oct. 18, you are already a winner, I can't go on that flight. Youall will have to get along without me.
