So I will be taking my first trip to Vegas within the upcoming week and I was interested in suggestions some of you may have for things I can do there besides the obvious, GAMBLING. I have looked into the performance shows and none of them really catch my eye at this time. Any interesting ideas or some local good eats?

 

A must stop for me in Vegas is Four Kegs. Its an Italian joint. Excellent prices and large portions. I haven't been in a couple years, so I hope things haven't changed...

Then there is the usual stuff like Hoover Damn and Lake Mead.

 

thanks

 

the stratosphere tower and rides.....wicked cool if you're into thrill seeking>>> http://vegasclick.com/vegas/las-vega...-coasters.html

 

The only way you wont find things to do is if you stay in your room. Get a room on the stripp and you'll find entdertainment. Be prepared to walk..

 

For me, a trip out to Hoover Dam is a must if you've never been -- easily the most interesting tourist destination in the Vegas area!

 

I detest everything about Las Vegas so, other than wishing you enjoy it much more than I do, I wouldn't be much help. However, I will have to keep 88's link in mind the next time I have to go.

Safe travels!

 

Good call, imo.
Go late and dine at sunset.........http://www.topoftheworldlv.com/

 

Will keep those ideas in mind.. Cant wait!

 

We went there last year with the kids (8 & 10 yrs), Our trip out to Hoover Dam was great, well worth it for us. We then spent a lot of time ( in the night) walking the strip and looking at all the stuff the hotel have to see. Also there is the show in Downtown Vegas-Fremont street experience.

I was hot, so we stopped at Ghiradli Ice Cream parlor on the strip for a sundae.
Theres the M&M, Coke a cola stores,

We stayed at the resort during the day to swim.
