We did, and there was a great route with what initially appeared as a thin, sketchy traverse at the start (was actually pretty easy climbing) with a slick stem move or two up in a corner.
I couldn't get past it on lead and was barely able to on TR.

Don't know dude. The climbing there is pretty fucking sweet.
I've been there three times, and each time I've stayed at the Suncoast Casino. I've stayed there because it's relatively cheap and pretty close to the Loop (15 min and you're at the parking lot). I've never, ever dropped a penny or more on any slot machine, on a show, on anything that's "vegas related." Not interested in that city at all, but it's damn worth it for the climbing. (actually, I stayed in a time share one of those times).

Give me the 411. how where the rooms and pool at the sun coast? Cause if they are nice and the rates are great, maybe the place to stay.

Can't compare to the Marriott, but I think they were good rooms (as in, quite comfortable, clean, spacious, and with good bathrooms). Nothing to complain about at all. Always quiet. The pool and the hot tub are pretty nice, too, but both are standard. The restaurants downstairs were adequate but not great. The easy thing is that the side door doesn't leave you walking through too much of the casino on the way to the elevator.
The views are relatively nice, too, depending on where your room is.
I think weekends there they are about $150/night and weekday they are about $35/night.
I think it's main business is the golf course.

Vacation this October will be happening.
Destination: Somewhere in S. America.
I think we are between Peru and Ecuador at the moment. Leaning towards Peru - hard - at the moment.

What are you going to do down here? Unless you're hitting the beach, don't worry about Brasil - it's a different world. Chile and Argentina are pretty damn cool though. I think you'd love the Andes spine that separates the two.

well, they just dropped the bomb.
Good news is no more rotating shifts for donny.
Bad news, no more paychecks.
Good news, I see an extended road trip in my future.
