Used to go every 3 or 4 months , back when it was a gambling and entertainment town.
Now it's gone "Hollywood" .
But I heard they did lots of new building with my money I left there. :shock:
I stay in Henderson when I go through. A lot less turmoil, no porn guys bugging you on the sidewalk, and less chance of getting mugged. The Strip itself is a cesspool, IMO. While you are gawping at the fountains (or silicone enhanced women), you are getting your pocket picked. The days of cheap food and cheap drinks are LONG gone.
Everybody that was waiting to leave Vegas was yelling the same advice to them- "GET BACK ON THE AIRPLANE NOW!"
Bluntly- I don't gamble. If not for work, I would not go there. Period.
Would it be feasible to take a day (or 2) trip and see the Grand Canyon? I read somewhere about helicopter flights to the canyon.
Has anyone done that?
Death Valley is day trip distance from Las Vegas.
Check and see of there?s a Barrett-Jackson auction or something interesting in town. The Uber drivers will know what?s going on while you?re there.
Your welcome.
The Museum is great, I had a blast there.
We took a few day trip from there and went to Grand Canyon, saw the London Bridge, Hoover Dam, and stopped it the town that was built for the workers for the dam (can't think of the name of it at the moment).
We aren't gamblers so none of that interested us. We did like the light show on the old covered part of Vegas. We saw Penn & Teller which was good. If not squeamish, check out the "Bodies" exhibit if it is still showing. There is a really need museum there, it might be the Natural History Museum" that we both enjoyed a lot too. None of the dining stuff, nor the Bellagio fountain show really impressed us much.
