Thursday September 11th, 2008 00:00 Las Vegas Vacationing Tips

Are you planning for a Las Vegas vacation? You should be very well prepared before taking a flight in one of the busiest places in Nevada.

You might end up short on your budget or with no hotels to check in if you did not call for reservations. You should also have enough money to savor everything you want to experience in the city.

There are many places to visit and things to do in Las Vegas. The city itself and the surrounding areas are attractions already. You may walk on the strip and savor the wonders of its casinos and luxurious hotels.

Leisure and business activities are non stop in this busy city. At night, you may have the option of watching shows and have fun gambling on its famous casinos. When you want a vacation full of entertainment and fun, then this is the perfect destination.

Generally, the main attractions of the city are its hotels and casinos. The most popular hotels are the MGM Grand, The Ritz Carlton, Stratosphere Casino Hotel and Tower, The Mirage and the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel.

Other popular sight attractions in Las Vegas are the hotels and casinos’ free shows like the Bellagio’s water fountain ballet, masquerade show at the Rio, and the Mirage’s volcano white tiger exhibit. Aside from its hotels and casinos, the museums are also places worth visiting.

However, you should prepare well before making the trip to Las Vegas especially if it is your first time. Here are some Las Vegas vacation tips that will help you to experience the best Las Vegas vacation.

1.Look and book for hotel reservations ahead preferably 2 to 3 weeks before taking the flight. It is also recommended that you purchase tickets early. You will find flights that require advance purchase of tickets, in this way you can avoid long piles of lines in the airport for ticket buys.

2.If it is your first time in the city, make sure that you stay near the strip. The strip is the best place for you to enjoy. You will savor the beauty of Vegas attractions such as the white tigers at the mirage, fountains of the Bellagio, pirates show at the Treasure Island and the lions’ den of the Mirage.

3.Most of the hotels and casinos are just a few steps away. You may not need to rent a car. Staying a hotel at the center of the city would be a perfect choice to stay in.

4.Exclusive shows in the hotels and casinos may really cost expensive. You may save money by going to free shows which are also main attractions in Las Vegas. You may watch free circus acts at the Circus Circus. Visit the human statue Venetian, watch the Pirate Show at the Treasure Island, see the M&M store at New York Street and enjoy the fountain exhibition at the front of the Bellagio.

When visiting Las Vegas, remember these tips on what you can do in the city especially if you do not have enough budget to enjoy expensive entertainment. It is up to you on how to have a great time in Las Vegas. For sure, you will never forget your first Las Vegas experience.

Monday September 8th, 2008 14:18 Has anyone hear anything about the new tower at circus circus Las Vegas?


Nothing announced here in Vegas. Doubt if the MGM is going to invest too much here on the discount end. Then again you might know something no one else knows or you are the first to hear.

Saturday August 30th, 2008 14:12 Is it true that the rides on top of the Stratosphere tower in Las Vegas are gone?

I heard they got rid of the roller coaster, but im not sure about the others

Yes, their rollercoaster (it was called the High Roller) which sat upon the top of the Stratosphere Tower was removed in 2005. They only removed that coaster because it took up a lot of room on the tower, and low guest satisfaction numbers. In place of where the High Roller used to be, they put up a few flat rides that were more thrilling in its kind. You can find pictures and info on the High Roller here: http://rcdb.com/id141.htm

The rides that replaced High Roller as of follows:
X-Scream – A giant teeter-totter that propels you 27 feet over the edge of the Tower, 866 feet above the ground.
Insanity, the Ride – A massive mechanical arm extends 64 feet over the edge of the Tower and spins you at a force of 3 Gs for a truly mind-bending experience.

You can find more info on those rides and stats from their official site: http://www.stratospherehotel.com/thrills/

Oh and by the way, the High Roller was the only ride removed.
Hope that helped! :)
