I can fly from Columbus for $99 each way at times, but you have to wait for certain times of year. So let's add it up.
$200 round trip per person X two= $400
3 or 4 days of boarding the dog= $80
2 days of lodging in Vegas= $160
3 or 4 days of food........... = $200
Total without gambling.........= $840

HMmmmmm, according to my calculations, even with the best fare you can get from this part of the country it is still upwards of $900.... Thanks for trying to save me a few bucks though
