What Places to visit in LAS VEGAS?

**UPSyours2** · 04-12-2006, 11:09 AM

DH Parent's are going on a trip there w/the seniors in May & there are a few side trips, etc. they can go on. They don't really gamble much they've been to Atlantic City another bus trip w/the seniors, etc. they go just to get out & get money back on the bus rides & also lunch! So it's a good deal for them!

They are really looking forward to this trip, since they have never visited there before!

TIA

Just being in Vegas is an experience. It's like being in another world..every casino has developed their hotel in a unique way. I'm not a gambler either, but Vegas still holds interest for me....actually the whole town is amazing. The shows are good but EXPENSIVE! Most of the time they can be entertained simply by walking around and just sightseeing! I loved the Venetian and the shopping area at the Aladdin....it was like an old world setting...also they should not miss the night time fountain show outside at the Bellagio and the Caesar's statue show....(and while they are there at Caesar's... eat at the Cheesecake Factory the food is fabulous and the menu is extensive) They will have a good time!

DH and I went 3 years ago, and plan to go back for our 25th Wedding Anniv. We loved Celine Dion's show at Ceasar's Palace, but it is pricey, but well worth it. The wax museum is a neat thing too. Go into CIrcus Circus and watch the actvities. We also, went to old Vegas and saw the lights overhanging the streets neat too. Hoover Dam tour on the bus was one of our favorite things too.
