RIO buffet huge disappointment

Mon, 17 Apr 2000 00:36:10 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jnelson - While I didn't stay at the Rio when in Vegas, I did make the trip over to sample the seafood buffet. The buffet had some how built up a mystique which required some investigation.

When we arrived at 8pm on a Monday, we were confronted with a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jnelson - I purchased my Presario 1800 through www.costco.com. I highly recommend you do, too. I actually returned the first 1800XL to my local Costco, and purchased another one.

The Presario 1800 is fantastic. Huge 15" screen, 8x DVD, 600mhz P3...

University of Washington - whatever you want it to be

Sun, 16 Apr 2000 20:37:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jnelson - As a junior at the UW, I must admit that my opinion has changed dramatically over my short tenure here. As a resident of the Seattle area all of my life, I always viewed the school as a "fall back" in case my other educational opportunities did...

A2 Great Starter

Sun, 16 Apr 2000 20:20:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jnelson - My first SLR was a Canon A2e, back in 1996. First things first, do not let the salesman talk you into an A2e. The "e" is not worth it, and you will never use it.

Second things first, don't use a salesman. Go look at the local strip...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jnelson - I've been online trading with Schwab for over a year. I was initially drawn to Schwab because they have a branch office 15 minutes from my house. I like the idea of being able to go talk to a person if something goes wrong.

Both parks are located within 90 minutes of each...

Sun, 16 Apr 2000 19:30:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jnelson - Staying at the Monte Carlo is like staying at the Bellagio, only cheaper. The reason? The Monte Carlo is connected to the Bellagio through a free monorail which links the two hotels 24 hours a day. You can utilize all of the Bellagio's magnificent...

Harveys Lake Tahoe: Harveys Worth the Trip

Sun, 16 Apr 2000 19:17:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jnelson - Harvey's is THE casino at Lake Tahoe. It is located closer to the lake than its peers, and its facilities are simply outstanding.

I stayed there in late march, when there was still skiing to be had. The weather near the lake was pleasant, and you...
