      a.    This exhibit is at Planet Hollywood and is not a permanent fixture. We are told it will be there for the entire summer. A combination of NBA Hall of Fame, basketball trivia and interactive exhibits; this got an A+ from the hoop nuts during March Madness this year.

10. at Binion’s we had our picture taken with the famous “Binion’s Million.” They take your picture for free standing behind a million dollars and you come back about an hour later to claim your picture. Since the photographer took two poses of us, we actually received two photos, each in a nice folder. The photo makes a nice souvenir!

11.  Hostile Grape @ M Resort - http://www.themresort.com/hostilegrape.html - wine dispensing machine, buy a tasting card & taste wine for $2 a glass.  M Resort is way down strip, past MGM & Luxor.  We'd have to take a cab there OR there's a free shuttle back & form between the M resort & the Fashion Show Mall.  Last shuttle runs at 9:00pm...I printed out the schedule.
