The Welcome Lights are Quarters! - Las Vegas
The Welcome Lights are Quarters!
24 Times a year!

I used to travel here frequently for business so I will tell you about how a business traveler should handle the place. I mix in a little fun but try to avoid the temptations while I am here.

You can spend a lot of money here but there are some neat things to see for free or for very litle cost. The free stuff will have that designation on the header.

Like everyone I was wseduced by las Vages temptations when I first went there but when you go as much as I have it gets where it is easy to avoid.

The Strip
Hail Caesar - Las Vegas

Hail Caesar

No one can mention las vegas without talking about the famed "Strip". It is actually Las Vegas Blvd. and is a real street. During the day it is not so bad but at night it comes to life. There has been a lot written about the strip so I won't bore you but you do HAVE to see it.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:All the Glitz you can imagine!
  • Cons:Come see the seamy side of life.
  • In a nutshell:Great for vacations, tough for business travel.
