Helicopter tour to Grand Canyon, check out Papillon Helicopter Tours. Did it last October landing at bottom of Canyon- had lunch Brilliant!

Pop into Peppermill Fireside Lounge (Next to Riviera Hotel) on the Strip for a drink for that authentic 70s experience.

Check out some movie locations- Circus Circus hotel and Fremont Street for JB's Diamonds are Forever. Riviera Hotel Casino, where 'Casino' was filmed.

Whilst in Fremont Street check out the Plaza Hotel situated at one end. You might recognise it from BTTF 2 as the square in alternate 1985.

Take a trip up the Statosphere Tower, Great Views.

The new themed Hotels and Casinos on the Strip are the usual sights to see but check out some of the older Casinos The Sahara etc. which have more character!

enjoy

'Do' canyons in the the day just to experience how BIG the space is.
Then 'do' the hotels at night - they're flashy, trashy and everything you've seen in the movies.
The atmosphere is electric and very different from anywhere else.
Remember that almost everyone there is there just to have a good time, so everyone is in a good mood

( Yes people go to Magaluf just to have a good time too but it's not the same

)
Just allow yourself to be 'immersed' and soak it all in otherwise you may feel 'trapped' by it all, as some do - private villas in secluded hillsides exist for these people

Have a copter ride over the strip at night or better over the Grand Canyon (If the bucks are a flowin!) Or take a limo ride with champagne whilst listening to Doggy Style by Snoop Dogg!

Eat massively at the Carnegie deli (at the Mirage) Do a little gambling. Visit the Hoover Dam but avoid Laughlin! Go garment shopping at some of the outer malls, just avoid the forum shops at Ceasers palace (Unless you want to spend a fortune or see the animatronic statue show)
With other lads? Go to the downtown end of the strip near the Stratosphear tower and hit a strip bar. With the missus? See Barry Manilow at the Hilton or Love at the Mirage.

I've been twice before and were off to Vegas again over Xmas to get married.
There really is no other place like it anywhere excepting maybe that Atlantic City over in New Jersey?

Just kick back and enjoy the total OTT madness that is Vegas, but be prepared to spend a few dollars!
You'll have a great time either way, unless your of a nervous disposition and you like a little peace & quiet.

Could you do a small favour for a fellow av user? I need a whole bunch of hooker calling cards. They give them out on the street in vagas.
The reason I'm after the cards is my daughters boyfriend is rebuilding a 1955 chevvy & has used these cards for the headlining but he's run out. He's got just over half done. Would be very greatfull if you could collect some for him

Remember what happens in Vegas does not stay in Vegas, regardless of what people tell you!
