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.
We are thinking of going to las vegas for a ‘once in a lifetime ‘ holiday any advice on what is worth seeing and things to do that doesn’t cost heaps —- besides gambling and seeing some shows???
First of all I’m jealous! Las Vegas is the best!!
Shopping is actually amazing in las vegas!!! Caesar’s Palace.. as well as the shopping is absolutely beautiful! I would just go there all day to stare at the amazing ceiling and fountains!!! There’s also heaps of outlets about 10 minutes out of the city!
- There’s Madam Tussaud’s which isn’t too expensive. It’s pretty cool! and there’s a haunted house in there too.
- The Bellagio fountains are great to watch. They move to music and go for about 10 minutes every hour!
- There’s a lion habitat you can see for free at the MGM grand
- The Treasure Island hotel has a pirate show out the front every hour I think it is. It goes for about 15 minutes and its pretty cool!
- I know you said that u already know about the shows.. but if you go to a shopping centre about 10 minutes from the strip.. I’ve forgotten its name… it sells leftover tickets every day for shows that night.. and they are quite a decent amount cheaper
- There’s a shark reef at Mandalay Bay hotel
- An amusement complex near Circus Circus casino
- Rollercoaster at New York New York hotel
- The Stratosphere observation tower which looks over Las Vegas
Hope I helped! When you get there you will see lots of free booklets with coupons for cheap deals and fun things to do anyway! I think it’s better going to Vegas not knowing what u want to do. You’ll find something every 2 second that you want to do anyway and you won’t even have enough time to do all of it!!
My family will be in Las Vegas over the Thanksgiving holiday. Where are some of the best places to go for a Thanksgiving dinner?
We’ve spent many Thanksgivings in Las Vegas. While we’ve tried various restaurants, our favorite for Thanksgiving is the Eiffel Tower Restaurant at Paris-Las Vegas. You can find plenty of restaurants offering traditional Turkey Day fare, but if you want a true dining experience, as well as something more memorable and with a gorgeous view of the city, it’s a sure thing.
At the Eiffel, you can experiment with some of the more "non-traditional" Thanksgiving cuisine they offer, but you can also be assured of a delicious "Turkey with all the trimmings" dinner, as well… and it’s to-die-for. (and yummy pumpkin souffle’ or creme brulee finish!)
Wherever you dine this Thanksgiving, Enjoy! … and be sure to book early!
Sounds a great place!
Hey babe, yep been three times when I was in the US, whatever you have seen or been told, it is 100 times better!
For me though, three days at a time is enough for me, but anyone going for a fortnights holiday, there is lots to do, Boulder is only a short drive away and Lake Mead is right next to it and boat rental is cheap, plus there are restaurants and stuff there as well.
Death Valley is the other way and still only a short drive, at the end of Death Valley there is a ‘one horse town’ called Lone Pine, not much there, but a must see.
Back to Las Vagas, it is predominantly gambling as you can imagine but for shows there is no where else like it.
There is an Aussie Steak House in the main strip. Maybe try there?
I am going to Las Vegas with my partner for 16 days in August. We are from the UK and aged 23. We are staying in a self-catering apartment about a 20min walk from the Strip. We will need to get a taxi to and from ther airport. We intend on getting the bus to the Strip and getting a taxi back. We will probably make this journey once per day. Neither of us gamble; if anything we may just spend a few dollars in the slots. We will go to the local supermarket to buy food in for breakfast and lunch and have one evening meal out each day. We don’t really drink much…maybe 2 drinks each per evening. We have already paid for flights and a show, so the only spending money we need is for travel, food, snacks and gifts/shopping.
How many dollars should we take?
I say $5000 just to be safe. You know what they say……..what happens in the LV stays in the LV. LOL. Good Luck and have fun.
