They went to some place that had this HUGE hamburger and if you ate it all you got it for free. Needless to say my brother wasn't able to finish it (it's that BIG)! <BR/><BR/>I know that no matter what you guys do there you'll have fun! Can't wait to hear and see all the pictures after you get back (ok I'll have to be patient and wait a few months)!First Time Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00522152352417840695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103348536762340189.post-33188914426212678302008-03-06T10:30:00.000-06:002008-03-06T10:30:00.000-06:00I've been to Vegas a few times and the best food I...I've been to Vegas a few times and the best food I've found was at the Hard Rock. Go to Mr.Lucky's 24/7 and ask for the not on the menu steak and shrip special. It is wonderful! You get a great salad, steak, shrimp, garlic mashed potatoes and veggi for under $10.00. The Hard Rock is off the strip but the meal is worth it!

Indeed you do alot of walking. I enjoyed just walking down the strip and watching everything. The Pirate show at Treasure Island was pretty cool. All the light shows were fun.

To me Caesar's Palace is so beautiful but then it's been a few years since we've been there and there are a lot of the new hotels we haven't seen. Oh, and be sure to go down to the old part of town for the light show. It is free and fantastic.<BR/>SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11360047123820906113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103348536762340189.post-61406431592136005552008-03-05T10:18:00.000-06:002008-03-05T10:18:00.000-06:00Oh you'll have such a good time!!

Be sure to take in a show or two, I think that was the most fun thing they did. They also did a fake wedding in one of the wedding chapels just so they could say they did it.

I loved it (expected to hate it - it was just part of a Contiki tour I did across America). Great photo opps and LOTS of colour - the Cirque sounds awesome! My only advice - don't gamble, just LOOK!

Mister & I are making it a tradition to escape in December each year for his birthday. Right after the xmas holiday w/o kids. Heaven. We're also going in two weeks with 5 of my best girlfriends! We rented a vacation house for our trip this year. CAN'T WAIT!<BR/><BR/>Things to do? You've got to make a trip down to the old strip, Freemont Street. There are the old casino's that have been renovated. They've got an amazing light show there. Plus lots of street performers and little kiosk booths selling an assortment of goodies.<BR/><BR/>We like The Orleans, which is a couple of miles off the strip. Its great gambling, an AWESOME buffet, too. They have a movie theatre, a bowling alley and an arena which we saw a hockey game last December. <BR/><BR/>The strip is great, too. But since we go so often we don't spend much time there. You've got lots of outlet shopping. The Mandalay has a shark exhibit. Tropicana has the Bodies Exhibit, which we want to check out. The Venitian has a museum, called Madam Tassues *sp?*. If you're interested in a show, hit the Tix 4 Tonight or Two 4 One ticket stands for great deals. <BR/><BR/>For the day, I suggest COMFORTABLE WALKING SHOES! <BR/><BR/>Have fun!*~*Cece*~*https://www.blogger.com/profile/00373628439213049604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103348536762340189.post-73393991182851591282008-03-04T19:25:00.000-06:002008-03-04T19:25:00.000-06:00How exciting!

The hand blown glass ceiling in the lobby is pretty neat along with the garden area behind the lobby in the Bellagio. The Venetian offers the romance of Italy - it is beautiful and worth seeing - I like the shops at Caesars (though I seldom buy anything). I haven't seen the new Wynn hotel - he built the Bellagio but I'm sure its pretty fancy. Take note of where you walk in the casinos they try to keep you lost so you never leave! Also the strip downtown lights up with a show every night - its kind of neat too. Hoover Dam is pretty cool too - Have fun!!OneCowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01497247860896705402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103348536762340189.post-9344055957190153062008-03-04T17:12:00.000-06:002008-03-04T17:12:00.000-06:00Wow!

When I went to Vegas, I had so much fun walking through the different casinos and up and down the strip. (I'm not a gambler, so the food, sights and pools are what I was interested in.) I wish I would have gone on a tour of the Hoover Dam. A friend of mine went on the best DAM tour around--that's how it was advertised. I really think you need to go on the ride (at night) that is on the Stratosphere tower, and if you live to tell us about it, post photos when you get back!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323381620462858795noreply@blogger.com
