Man that brings back memories. The Avi is a great hotel/casino and it's right next to a road that crosses the river into AZ. Last time I was there, they had a chili cookoff, crafts fair,motorcycle show, sand drags and a kite festival all on the same weekend. Geez, talk about good eats. All the chili was great and there was one vendor selling hemangous fry bread, drenched in butter and liberally sprinkled with cinammon/sugar. Oh, to die for. Also found some good deals on native jewelry.

Shucks. We'll be up in Vegas in early October, but don't have the time to drive down. Only got 4 nights and we'll be with family. The wife wanted to make an overnight stay at the Avi. Maybe next year.
