Anyone been to Vegas?

Me and my missus got married in Vegas, so you could always try that! We were taken to the chapel in a Limo and then were driven through the chapel doors by Elvis in a pink Cadillac whlst he was singing "Viva Las Vegas". It was wild!
Helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon cannot be missed. We landed on the canyon floor for a picnic. Must have been at least 3 hours of flying.
Make sure you visit the Wynn hotel, it's the smartest one on the strip. Oh, and if you win in the casino, there's a Ferrari dealership in the hotel.
The restaurants are miles better and cheaper than anything you will get in London. Best restaurant is Mix at the Mandalay Bay.
Shopping - best place are the forum shops at Caesar's Palace. All the designers are there.
We combined Vegas with LA and San Fran. Make sure you hire a car in LA if you go there. There are no such thing as pedestrians'Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual'. -

Vegas is good for a day or two, it's far too like Blackpool for my liking.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Actually the Casinos are worth it for a visit let alone actually gambling any money. When I went the Venetian was being built, but what I've seen of it could be worth it. You also have a mini Paris - now who could resist a romantic evening which takes in both Venice and Paris (even an erstaz one)Comment

The gambling can be fun, but it's not a long term holiday destination. It's the kind of place you go once and never return IMHOThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

I enjoyed eating at Paris and The Stratosphere revolving restaurant (although the Strat itself is awful)
The helo to the GC is not to be missed (we also did a night flight over vegas, thrown in for free, so well worth it!)
Last time we stayed at Treasure Island (good value), next time we will stay at the Bellagio.
get a cab to the old strip (Freemont Street, Lucky Strike etc) have a look, then get a cab back. DONT WALK BACK (or as suggested above anywhere off the strip).Comment
