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

      I 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 ;))

      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?

                    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.
