Leaving for Las Vegas
-
I'm going to Vegas for work the next 4 days. Besides gambling and golf, does anyone have any must-see suggestions?

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
-- Steven WrightI haven't gone to Vegas in years, so I don't know if these things are still there, but here goes: 1. Bungee jumping at Circus-Circus 2. The indoor skydiving place (I think it's pretty near the strip) 3. The view from high up in the Luxor pyramid (ok, this one is definitely still there ;))

Vegas sucks. Take a helicopter to the grand canyon, and spend the rest of the time in your room.

I hate Vegas because I don't gamble and the smoke everywhere makes me ill. But it's the only place where you can see some of the great Cirque du Soleil shows.

-- Steven WrightHelicopter ride to the Grand Canyon. Absolutely incredible. The Stratosphere is actually quite cool. Avoid the x-treme ride and go on the slingshot one. The Belagio fountains entertained me for a bit but don't go too far out of your way for it. The TAO night club is fun enough. Here is what I thought of Vegas[^]. Seriously though. Save up and get that helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon.

Paul Watson was there earlier this year - he may have some night club recommendations (probably non-stripper ones).

Write this one off. My girlfriend and I were there in January (on our yearly pilgrimage) and it was closed for good. Too bad, too; I really liked standing in the CC parking garage and watching to see who would drop so low they'd hit the water in the pool below. :laugh:

No. Red Rock, though interesting, pales in comparison to Valley of Fire. A photograph[^] I shot some years back using an old RB67 in the Valley of Fire.

Go see Celine Dion. Maybe she`ll sign to stay in Vegas for a few more years if she keeps selling out and postpone her homecoming... We really don't miss her! :->

My husband visited the Stratosphere and liked that although he was too chickensh*t to do the roller coaster thing. He like the free show at Treasure Island. He stayed at the Mirage and they had a tiger and dolphins in the hotel. he collected the hooker cards for me but forgot them in his hotel room. :) :badger:

Hooker cards? Like business cards? Perhaps he didn't forget them in his hotel room.... ;)

Yup. Complete with phone number and, uh, "picture". They carpet the strip.

Surely in Las Vegas that's an oxymoron?

:clap clap clap: heard across canada in response to your post. I really don't know why but I don't like her either, she just annoys the hell out of me.

You`re lucky, the annoyance started *years* earlier in French. But I feel your pain :)

Nah, I`m affraid empty seats would bruise her husband`s ego and that they`d come back.
