I went to the museum today and loved it. My only disappointment was that none of the signs or the great bird were saved from the Thunderbird. It was well worth the trip. I love the history of this city. Then I shared a taxi with someone else who took the tour and went to the Strip. I have to be honest. The Quad still looks like a dump from the outside no matter the name. I did not go in. I was a little disappointed in the Cromwell. My guess is that one would need to stay there to fully appreciate the make over (or enjoy the rooftop nightclub, etc). It is spruced up and a little lighter then the Barbary Coast was, but I did not get a "wow" factor. But I had a great stroll from that end to the Mandalay Bay and enjoyed myself on this beautiful day.
