HEVYDEVY FORUMS

well im going on much deserved vacation vacation instead of sleeping one week straight last decade or so. never went before never even went west before either. was wonderng if anybody has gone to vegas and recommned to see anything. im not a big gambler just slot machines a couple of times. im staying at the red rock casino and hotel few miles from the strip and few miles from red rocks which are cool colored nature produced rocks and mini mountains in the desert. just want o sight see and maybe look for work and aplce as a last resort(see thread nicley being evicted)

If you're into guitars and shit there's a cool store called Ed Roman's Guitars, but I think it closed...and just driving on the strip at night is pretty cool. Or, you could go bungee jump off the Stratosphere, or something. Or, you could be in the same building that John Entwistle died in if you go to the Hard Rock Hotel. I dunno, just bring alot of money and run around, there's plenty of pretty lights and stuff to keep you entertained.

I haven't been there since 1995, and it was on business. We were only given one evening to experience the place, so...yeah.

Like Nathan said, there's plenty to keep you entertained. Make sure you visit Treasure Island for the live outdoor pirate battle show - it's free! Caesars Palace is fun. Lots of shops. The ceiling changes colors and effects to coincide with weather patterns and different times of day. But honestly, back in '95 the newest casino was The Luxor, so I've not seen the latest and greatest. I've been told that the dancing fountains at The Bellagio are a must.

I only allowed myself to spend $20 on gambling. Used the nickel slots. *yawn* Drinks are free while you're gambling - at least they used to be.

I'd love to go there again and spend more time - at least a weekend. Maybe Scott Cooke will see this thread and pop in. He would probably have more useful advice and input on what to do in Sin City.
