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.

Trip Report - The Westies in Vegas Sept. 16-30, 2009

I just had to share a link to a really great trip report by Westie, a good friend of mine over at LV4E: http://www.blonde4ever.yuku.com/topic/11775/t/Las-Vegas-It-39-s-Human-Nature-TR.html

He and his wife, Ann, are retired, and they are both really adventurous foodies, show-goers, and lovers of art. They just returned from another two week trip to Vegas (they take 3 or 4 two-week trips every year), and their latest report is chock-full of unusual food adventures and some great show reviews, as well.

Westie is a serious coupon user and deal-finder, and he always provides the LV4E members with great links to the very same deals that he uses when he books his trips. In his reviews, you will see his rating of the experience as well as the total cost and what coupon/discount code he used for each one.

Their next trip is in December, and I'm sure it'll be just as stuffed with interesting new places I've never heard of and how to get the same deals for my trip.
