VEGAS!!

[mystykoekaki]

I went to Vegas for the first time last October, alone (wouldn't do that again!). Here are some quick tips and ideas that have come quickly to mind.

1. Pull up a 100 free things to do in Vegas list, this really helped me with ideas on what to do during my time there.
2. I didn't stay on the "strip", but would definitely do if I was to return.
3. I rented a car, which worked out GREAT for me. As I was able to do the site seeing in the morning/afternoon and then hit the strip at night (which I think worked out as a great plan).
4. Wear comfortable clothes/shoes, you will be walking a lot. The building(s) might seem close but as you will learn, it's quite a hike most of the time.
5. If you do stay on the strip, stay at a place on the Excalibur/New York, New York side versus the Circus Circus side. But of course middle is best (Bellagio/Caesar's Place/Flamingo/Venetian) area.
6. Limit your gambling, this of course goes without saying.
7. See a show or two! .. I loved Beatles LOVE and was left wanting more from Ka .. Perhaps O would be better.
8. I'm a person who likes buffets generally (partly because I could just eat and leave whenever), so some of my meals were just that. MGM doesn't have the best buffet, Harrah's was my favorite.

I could come up with more, but this is a decent little list I put together, plus I should be getting back to work.

I can't wait to return...and if I did, I would probably try for October again, the weather was perfect for me at that time.

So did you go yet?

No not yet...March 18th 2012 (Married on St Patricks Day, so its for our 1 year anniversary)

Funny thing though...her parents happen to have a timeshare and offered us the rights (or however it works, I haven't discussed the details) for our trip.

We are staying at the Wyndham Grand Desert...I was checking it out and although it doesn't look like it has a casino within...its FREE...so that works for me

Do you really need to come to the cafe for a source of inspiration?

If I had thought of the Vegas trip BEFORE we got married...

Not one recommendation to go see UFC?

I've always said if I go, I want to see a fight at the Mandelay Bay. That and a Neil Diamond impersonator music concert. Do shows like that still exist?

Where is this strange Vegas place that you all speak of?
