I’m going on a lads holiday to Las Vegas for five nights, and I was wondering how much money anyone would recomend I take with me. (In £’s or $’s please)
Not an easy question because it could be the most expensive place for you to visit or the cheapest place. It all depends on you spending habits. This page tries to help answer that question. Suggesting between $100 to $200 per person per day.
I am going to push the boat out big style, As it will may be the only chance I get to go to vegas. (holiday of a lifetime) Cheers.
I was thinking about £5000 spending money.
EVERY FREAKING DIME (POUND) YOU HAVE TO YOUR NAME
Hi Everyone 
My boyfriend and I are wanting to go to Las Vegas in October as a belated Graduation and 21st birthday present to ourselves (we will both be 21 in July/August). However, I desperately want to go to the Grand Canyon as well, but I’m having trouble trying to organise it.
Ideally, we’d like to spend at least 6 days in Vegas and then a few in the Grand Canyon. I’ve looked at Virgin Holidays, and they offer some great tours – but you have to drive…
Whilst I can drive, my boyfriend can’t, and I’d MUCH prefer to not have to drive. I’ve only been driving a few months and I’ve never been this far away from home before! So, I’m too nervous to do it.
The public transport seems to be either non-existant, or very long/expensive.
Does anyone know of any good tours/travel companies, or do you have an experience of a Las Vegas/Grand Canyon holiday?
Just any advice on how I could organise this would be greatly appreciated 
Thanks,
Lucy
P.S. Plus any tips of places I *have* to see?
I highly recommend you take a bus tour to the Grand Canyon South Rim. It’s 5.5 hours from Las Vegas and worth every minute. Count on spending an entire day doing this trip, leaving the hotel around 7a. and returning to LV at 9p. Depending on the operator, you’ll get three hours at the Rim, which is plenty of time to see Mather Point, Yaki Point, Hermit’s Rest, and Yavapai Observation Station. Here’s a link to Grand Canyon tour bus reviews:

Alternatively, there’s the West Rim of the Canyon, which features the Skywalk. It’s at this Rim that you can book a helicopter to take you to the bottom. There’s also helicopter flights at the South Rim, but they don’t touch down at the bottom. Here’s a link for helicopter reviews:

Good luck on your Canyon adventure!

im comimg down maybe in oct give myshelf 3 months to find job keeping my apartment here in calif so if it dont work out i can come back i dont what it matters things are just as bad here everything is just more expensive
. i worked across the street from there have known many people who have lived there. the apartments themselves are OK, but the area in general is pretty bad, there are always people begging for money across the street in the CVS parking lot
on a holiday weekend IE july 4th???
Worst traffic I ever saw was when the Grateful Dead were in Vegas. Took my friends over 8 hours just to get there from LA. Lucky me, I just happened to fly to Vegas that weekend.
It’s REALLY bad. I-15 crawls from Temecula to Victorville.
Does anyone know if there’s such thing as a tourist dvd I can get before I go. I know Disneyworld, Florida do one. Does anywhere else?

Im a 16 year old guy, about to go on a family holiday to las vegas, i have been 3 times before and really enjoy it each time. However this time im a little older and enjoy playing poker (texas hold’em) with my friends. I was wondering weather there is any place i can play poker without using real money, for fun in las vegas? thanks in advance.
only if you take along the hand held game and stay in your room
Im of on holiday to Las Vegas and im under 18. I hear theres a Curfew for 10pm unaccompanied by an adult. Can i stay out longer if i have an over 18+ with me or does it have to be 21+?
Thanks
Anyone under the age of 18 is prohibited from being on the Strip after 9 pm on weekends and holidays unless accompanied by a parent. Check this site out for more details:

my mother is going to las vegas from the uk on holiday. and asked me what i would like her to bring back for me and the kids- aged 7,5,2. any ideas? not too expensive though!
There are loads of shopping in Las Vegas. MGM and Circus Circus have kids stuff. But there’s plenty of cheap stuff. I bought t shirts, key rings, etc for small gifts for people. Caesars Palace is amazing. Clothes are cheap too. Loved it there. Do tell her to do the helicopter to Grand Canyon. Incredible especially flying down the strip at night.
