We didn't really go anywhere but we got to sit down and hang out with each other. Going to Las Vegas is special to me because I don't get to see my dad as often as i'd like to.

It steals away from family time for the shoppers and the employees. Employers threaten workers that if they do not work on that certain holiday, they will be fired. Black Friday should be kept to Friday instead of moving in on my family time. The whole culture of Black Friday has become repugnant and unnecessary.

    Laughlin is strategically located along the Colorado River, and gives guests the opportunity to, not only take part in the typical gambling and casino activities but also offers jet skis, boating and other fantastic water fun.
