I think Seeker appears to be the fellow to ask about things to do in Vegas...

You Never know..This sseems to be my only chance, now that shes pairing up with that doofus for a summer tour I doubt we'll see any rare songs from her on that.

David, I'm dialing your number right now. Why aren't you answering? This is BEYOND frustrating!! Anyhoo, I'll be arriving Tuesday at 3:30 pm on Delta 1771. Please make arrangements.

As for banning, I believe Cayla is the only person I have banned besides spammers back on EZBoard. Oh, also that Todd Davey guy and the girl pretending to be Kristen. So unless you're one of them, I don't know what you're talking about.

Sadly, I have not had the pleasure of banning anyway from the new board yet.

I'm getting close, I'll bet.

try to make one of the Vegas shows, Just have to see how everything plays itself out in the coming days (A rather large medical malpractice suit will be fast approaching...I will be stressed from that alone, But they took my Mother so I feel the urge to make sure they never f**kup anyone else!!!) so I may show up to party with y'all...

Lord knows I definitely need to have some fun after the past year-or-so that I have had (Still here God, Ya cant make/break me that damn easy!!!!! Keep a tryin', ok? I refuse to give in!!!!)

I just imagined you shaking your fist angrily while saying that.
I hope you get to come.

I may forget a few things, and I won't list the various shows, those are kinda expensive, but here are some things to do. Some might be boring to some, but atleast the options are there. Most are free, or less expensive than the mega shows


Things to do in Vegas besides gambling (For teens and others) in no particular order:

At the Tropicana: Las Vegas Museum (old chips and things)
Titanic relics (good show saw it at the Rio a few years back)

New York, New York : Has rollercoaster - real fast and high

Manadlay Bay: Shark Reef - Big indoor Aquarium with walkthrough shark exhibits and critters

Luxor: Eygyptian exhibit, 3D motion rides, Arcades, Talking Camel Statues

Excaliber - Jousting show, various acts throughout the day, arcade

MGM - Lion habitat,

Alladin - Dessert Passages - big shopping area with "rain storm" inside kinda cool

Mirage- Dolphin and tiger areas - volcano out front

Treasure Island - Sinking boat show out front - more adult orientated now, not the pirates anymore

Circus-circus - Adventuredome (largest indoor amusement park, arcade, circus acts

Venetian - large shopping area with gondalas, various acts, and water course (on second floor). Gugenheim museum is showing Egyptian artifacts from Cairo museum. This place is worth a trip to see how much detail they did when they built it.

Ceasars palace - Large shopping area with Staute show, 3d rides, etc.

Hilton - Must see Star Trek Area for your Treakies/Trekkers (whatever) out there. Quarks Bar, and shows and shopping.

Imperial Palace - Huge Antique Car exhibit

Paris - go to top of eiffel Tower, various wandering acts in shopping
area

Stratosphere - very scarey (to some of us) rides at the top. Rollarcoasters

World Of coke - If your a coka-holic this is Mecca.

World of M&M's - Everything M&M you ever wanted and more. Colors and flavors found no where else.

Fashion Square Mall - Big Mall on the strip

Sahara - Rollarcoaster and Nascar stuff

Bellagio - Fountain show, Arboritum (inside), and various artwork scattered throughout (Degas, piccaso, renoir...etc)


I know there is a ton I have forgotten, but that is off the top of my head. There are more arcades, shopping, shows, etc......But the above are all on the strip.

Close to strip:

Hard Rock - mostly for its memmoribilla displays.

Rio - Has great free show that is Carnival/Mardi gras theme with floats and beads etc....big things fly around from the casino ceiling with dancers on them...etc.

Tons of clubs, nightlife, bars,...etc.

One tip: BRING COMFORTABLE SHOES - a lot of walking even after you enter these megaplaces. These are HUGE. First timers just don't understand how big these places are. (For instance..if you walked the complete ring of shopping at the Alladin Palace it is almost 2 miles I think they said).

Also the strip is great to people watch....Just when you think you have seen it all......And you can walk through each casino and check out each theme. They put alot of detail into them, so much to see. All have some sort of shopping, some better than others, and restaurants up the wazzoo.



Hope this helps.

The have a jellyfish tank that is just great at the aquarium! They seem to "glow". And the shark walk through area (they are all around you) is cool.
(For you Monty Python fans: Fishy...fishy....fish)

The Titanic show (If it is the same one from the Rio - same people) - was just Wonderful, although I was kinda put off by them "looting" a sea grave and all. But they did a good job of telling the story, and brought up ALOT of stuff from there. They recreated the Staircase and rooms and things - Just fantastic. Worth a see.

The Titanic exhibit was at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia for several months over the past year and just left in January. I had the opportunity to see it and I must say, it's worth it. I don't want to give too much away but upon entering, you're given a ticket to the ship with a name on it and a detailed description of the person that you are (where they're from, class, etc). At the end of the tour, you find out whether or not your person survived or perrished on the Titanic (at least that's how it was here but that might be because there were several local ties?). Lots of great artifcats and information for history and Titanic buffs.

As far as Ledgie parties go.....

1) I'm up for anything

2) I'll eat anything.

That should cover it.

Thanks so much for posting that list. It's exactly what we were hoping to find somewhere so we know where we're going once we get there. We will be sure to bring walking shoes, sounds like we'd be hating life if we didn't.

this is gonna be waaay cool!

Seeker, thank you soooo much for that list. I just printed it out to bring..it is amazing and very helpful. Riss...we need to check out soo much!

Can you tell me where the Palms is in relation to the Flamingo/Caesars? I would like to check that hotel out, see Rain and the Ghostbar. Not "go" to the Ghostbar as I know the wait to get in is crazy etc but I do want to see the place. I think it looks like a really neat hotel.

I have a list from my friend as well. She's written a bunch of stuff down, told me places to eat and places for cheap drinks, etc. One of my coworkers leaves Monday night for Vegas and is bringing me back stuff. Combined with Seekers list (thank you for that, btw), WE NEED ANOTHER DAY OR TWO!!

The Palms is off the main strip. If you or anyone else needs to check out distances, etc, this is a really good map of every hotels location....

We honestly couldn't have picked a better place to stay

Kelly, I would pay to see you in Rain

Any suggestions?

Honey, the only thing you can't do is go onto the actual casino floors. The options are limitless! Seeker's guide is an awesome start.

Like she said - if you've never been, you can't even begin to comprehend what it's like. DO NOT try to wear cute shoes/outfits when you're walking all over the Strip - you may die. Sneakers all the way, baby! Bring your camera, a Strip map & same cash in case you just can't take it anymore & need to catch a cab (just remember, cab's can't pick you up on the street, you have to go to the hotel cab areas.)

I think if anyone wants to meet for drinks before the show, it may be a good idea to either meet up close to the venue: maybe at Caesars or if many of us are at the Flamingo, then there. Another option is NYNY (which is about a 15-20 minute walk, but a cab would be very cheap esp. if a bunch of us got one or two together.) There's a nice Irish pub style place in NYNY, as well as a coffee shop.

As far as afterwards, wherever's open, affordable & good will suffice. We can all figure that out later.

One recommendation I do have is the Stratosphere. You must go to the top to the observation deck (I think it's $12?) and I personally think it's better at night. A bunch of us (who aren't scared of heights ) should go after one of the shows & take some group picks up there.

Yah, I originally wanted to stay at Treasure Island because it's a little more centrally located. But I let my daughter pick the hotel and she wanted the Luxor which is all the way at the END of the strip. I was like ooohhhhh nooo. I checked out their website and I know why she wants to stay there. It's just gonna make it hard for getting around. We'll have to literally abandon our hotel for the day. I had hopes of staying some place where we could stop in and rest up for an hour and then go back at it.

Well... so much for the bellyaching! I'm sure we'll make the best of it and it's gonna be a lot of fun!!
