Due to the Christmas Day terrorist bombing attempt aboard an Amsterdam-to-Detroit flight, new TSA screening rules have been added to ALL flights for the foreseeable future. Here is a blog article from Yahoo! regarding the rules and some updates that have already been made to those rules:
http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/patterson/63092
While the rules are vague at best, I'm sure that an attempt at basic streamlining will come along at some point. Remember the variations from airport to airport after 9/11? Some locations were stricter with their 3 oz. liquid rule when it applied to gifts of wine that they didn't want to check in their luggage, while others were more apt to throw all bottles in the nearest trashcan if you came anywhere the security checkpoint.
Either way, expect longer lines to get through security for a while.

Resort Fees: What They Are and How To Avoid Them
Resort fees - what are they? Why do you pay them? How can you avoid them?
Resort fees are charged by most Vegas hotels for using their "facilities". The fees tend to cover a large gray area in a lot of cases: it can be a basic charge that only amounts to a couple of dollars and is added to your hotel room bill for incidentals; it can be a basic fee added for your use of the gym or basic spa facilities (whether you use them or not); it can be a nominal fee charged for the use of the in-room telephone - it could be for basically anything the resort chooses, and it could cover any combination of services to boot. It depends on the hotel and what they offer versus what they want to charge you for.
Many resorts started charging the fees regularly a couple of years ago. To me it seems as though the fees appeared with more frequency after the recession began, sort of as a way to compensate for lost earnings. I also wonder if the fees are used to offset any free rooms that people (like me) are getting.
There's a way to get around resort fees in most cases, and it's very simple. Here are two of the very best ways to try and avoid them, but remember that they are not foolproof and you should be sure to check the terms and conditions when booking your rooms to determine what the charges are (if any) and what the fees include:
Book your room online - Many hotels will waive resort fees if you book online. You should check with the hotel to make sure this is the case, as some resort fees can be as much as $25 a night. If there are any resort fees, they will be applied to your bill at the end of your stay, and you should receive notification from the front desk before they are applied. Ideally, the front desk should notify you of any and all resort fees at the time you are checking in.
Book your room directly through the player's club or from the slot club offers you receive - This is the way I personally avoid the fees. By signing up to become a member of a casino's players' club and booking my reservation directly through the players' club or the offers I receive from them as a result of my previous play, I automatically avoid the resort fees that are normally charged to other customers. And that's a good thing for me: if my room is totally comped based on my previous play, I don't want to be surprised by a $12.50 charge at the end of my stay when I don't do anything but stay in my room and use a single towel and wash cloth. (Let's not discuss the bath goodies I took, though, shall we?)
In any case, take advantage of the players' clubs and online offers when you can. Not only will you avoid the fees, but you'll probably also get a better rate than you would just by calling up the hotel and booking your stay directly through them.

Link to another fantastic trip report for the Westies!
The fantastic Mr. Westie of LV4E fame just completed another 2-week journey to the glittery world of Vegas with his wife, Ann. With his permission, here is a link to his latest trip report posted on LV4E: http://www.blonde4ever.yuku.com/topic/13093
Mr. Westie is one of my very favorite trip report writers for many reasons: he always includes hilarious commentary in his reports; he has a wonderful sense of making the most out of coupons, gift certificates and discounts; his rating system of all things consumed and enjoyed is entertaining and reliable; and he includes photos and links to every restaurant or entertainment venue he and his wife partake in.
He enjoys dining in out-of-the-way restaurants that tourists don't normally get to, and he backs up his dining experiences with lots of fantastic details and beautiful, close-up photos so you can see exactly what the dish looks like. I believe he's on a first-name basis with many of these restaurants' owners, which also helps him to get additional great deals and discounts for being a friend.
It's a very enjoyable read from beginning to end.

Link to article: Government imposes 3-hour limit on tarmac strandings
If you've flown to or from anywhere that's prone to really bad weather, or if you've been stuck in a notoriously bad airport that has extreme delays and cancellations, you might be happy to hear that the government is now imposing a limit on how long the TSA can force travelers to remain aboard stranded planes.
Here's a link to the article outlining the effective date and rules for tarmac stranding:
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Govt-imposes-3hour-limit-on-apf-715843484.html?x=0&sec=topStories&pos=5&asset=&ccode=
After a rash of really bad situations over the past few years in which hundreds of people were forced to remain in airplanes left parked on the tarmac for more than 10 hours - and unable to fly due to weather conditions or other factors on one side or the other - the government has finally seen fit to act on this. Good for them...good for the travellers, too.
Can you imagine being stuck on a plane with ANY crying babies, overflowing airplane toilets (horrors in their own right), no snacks, or a lack of medication? For the record, you should never pack any medication you may need in your checked luggage, so shame on you if you do that in the first place.
It's about time some rules were put into place to give guidance in these situations. There may be more delays due to stranded people being allowed to disembark the plane in these situations, but allowing people off the planes in order to make their own decisions - and take care of themselves and their families when necessary - is the ethically and morally correct thing to do.
But that's my opinion.

Link to article: Bellagio Conservatory's Christmas display is now open (video)
If you don't already know this, the Bellagio Conservatory is changed and decorated by the seasons, plus one: it is decorated for Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, and the Chinese New Year.
Over the past couple of years they seem to have started re-using many of the same design elements in their decorations from season to season, but I'm a fan of recycling, so I don't mind at all. What I do mind is when they don't add enough elements in their designs, because Vegas is supposed to be over-the-top. More is better in this case, in my opinion.
The Las Vegas Sun just posted a video with an overview of Bellagio's Christmas display for 2009. Click the link to view some beautiful stuff, including a softly falling snowstorm:
http://www.lasvegassun.com/videos/2009/dec/14/3338/
I've seen the Spring, Summer, and Fall displays repeatedly, but never the Christmas or Chinese New Year displays. I'm going to have to make a point of making a wintry trip to Vegas to see them both someday!
Keep in mind when you visit the Bellagio Conservatory that they DO have a change-out period between seasons, so there's a chance that you may see a work in progress during your trip, or not be allowed in at all. Check out a Vegas website like Vegas.com, for an overview of when the current display will be up before your next trip to make sure you won't miss a thing:

Link to article: Five Foods to Avoid Before Flying
My friend Bonnie found a great article that encompasses a lot of mistakes people usually make when traveling: eating and drinking the wrong things before flying.
Here's a link to the article from IndependentTraveler.com:
http://www.independenttraveler.com/resources/article.cfm?AID=1000&category=1
The only thing I don't really agree with is #5 - EVERYTHING. I say that because eating nothing at all - especially before a long flight (or any flight, for that matter) - can make you feel worse. People with diabetes shouldn't necessarily fast before or during a flight, nor should anyone taking certain kinds of medication. I would say that, depending on the length of the flight and your personal medical circumstances, you might want to have a light meal or a snack before you fly. Check with your doctor about what is best for you given your health and medical needs rather than avoiding food and drink altogether.
For me personally, drinking carbonated drinks (or even alcoholic ones) before or during a flight is limited to one drink MAX before or during a flight. I try to stick to apple juice or orange juice if the flight is over three hours long, because I dislike using airplane restrooms, too. Sodas and coffee don't go over well with me for flights with a long duration. Too much information, I know.
Try to find a healthy dining alternative in the airport before you leave. They are out there, but you may have to look around.
Happy traveling!

Twitter friends on Vegas - pay them a visit!
I mentioned previously that I'm not a big Twitter-er. I don't have my own account, but I do follow a few of my friends who are regular Vegas Twitterbugs (I just made that term up, so I'll be glad to take any royalties for use of the expression).
I do like looking at the posts, because some of them have SO MUCH to post about their trips. Diana (Evoni) is in Vegas frequently and adds photos of every win - and she has a lot of them. Terri (socal2lvgirl) and sumchiconthenet both live in Vegas, so their Vegas-related tweets come quite frequently, too. It's just nice to see my favorite city at any time of the year.
Here are links to some of my favorite Vegas-related Twitter members who could be in Vegas at any time:

Link: Bellagio review by Vegas Tripping (and my own comparison)
I previously posted my own review, video, and photos on my blog after a delightful stay at Bellagio in July of this year. I just received the December newsletter from Vegas Tripping and saw their somewhat critical review of a recent stay and thought I'd share the link with all of you:
http://www.vegastripping.com/features/feature.php?feature_id=185&page=1
Bellagio is the nicest Las Vegas hotel room I've stayed in to date. In my experience with the hotel, I found nothing to criticize or fault; the room was fantastic, it was well-appointed and beautiful, and I had a very nice view (even though it wasn't a lakeview room, sadly).
Maybe I'm not picky enough. Maybe others are too picky. You be the judge.
I personally had no trouble finding plugs for my cell phone charger without having to rearrange furniture or become a contortionist. Apparently my room was a little different from the one featured in this article, though, so maybe that's a concern I just didn't have to deal with. I found no stains, burns, tears or scuffs anywhere in the room, either. Also, the amenities were all provided above the bathroom sink, below the mirror, exactly where I've found them in every other Vegas hotel room. I had no problem picking up what I needed to take into the shower with me. I guess I've never been in an extremely fancy-schmancy hotel where I would find extra amenities near the sink, the shower, AND the bathtub. Seems a little bit like overkill to me. Most people either shower OR take a bath, but not both. Why waste the stuff? (I'll end up taking it, anyway, and the maids will replenish everything when they come in for turn down service. Oh, how I loved Bellagio turn down service...)
Maybe he had a room that hadn't been checked or renovated recently. My room appeared to be in tip-top shape. But I also feel that if you're used to staying in 5-star hotels all the time, you're going to look at things a little differently. Me? I was just happy to be there at a very big discount (and equally happy to spend some of Bellagio's money), so maybe I just had too many stars in my eyes. I hope to visit Bellagio again. It was certainly THE MOST comfortable night's sleep I've ever had in Vegas.
Oh, Bellagio...please send me another fantastic offer so that I may once again partake of your lovely hospitality. You were very gracious hosts from beginning to end. I'll be checking my mailbox daily until I hear from you.

LasVegas4Ever recognized with a Vegas Trippie nomination and kudos on a popular blog site
LasVegas4Ever, created by my good friend Bonnie (aka "Blonde4Ever") almost 2 years ago, was recently recognized for a 2009 Vegas Trippie award on the Vegas Tripping website. The nomination was announced by the site and voting just wrapped up last week. Not quite sure when the winners will be announced, but I'll be sure to share the details here.
This is LV4E's second nomination in a row - not bad for an itty bitty site created on a whim by a mad blonde woman!

Link to article: Las Vegas Review Journal's "Holidays in Las Vegas - 2009"
If you're planning a trip to Vegas during the next month or so, I found the LVRJ's guide to the holidays for visitors has now been posted on line. Take a look and see if you can find something to tempt you during your trip this holiday season:
http://www.reviewjournal.com/entertainment/events/holidays/
There are separate categories for dining, lights and displays, shopping, photos with Santa and much, much more. Why not celebrate the holidays when you're traveling? I know I would!
