Things To Do: Barbary Coast
  • Tip Rating:
  • Friendly crowd, and a lucky vibe make this casino one of the most entertaining ones to try your luck. My friend and I personally did extremely well here in 1996. Unfortunately luck was not on my side when I was here for my most recent vacation. A $20 bill goes through a $1 slot in minutes...

    Grand Canyon / Other Tours: A break from the madness...
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Las Vegas Grand Canyon / Other Tours
  • grand canyon from yavapai point
  • by HotRodEtte
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • A long day ahead, we began the tour at 6:30 am. Bus ride was approximately 4 hours each way, with frequent stops for those who need to eat, drink, use restrooms & smoke. Photo stops made at Hoover Dam as well, along with 2 points of overlooking the Grand Canyon (Bright Angel Lodge and Yavapai Point). These are where you get the best views of the canyon, as well as the Colorado River with the suspension bridge (Yavapai Point, but you really need to look!).

    Hard Rock Hotel/Casino: Try your luck?
  • Tip Rating:
  • While here in '96, my best firend and I tried our luck at the roulette tables inside the Hard Rock Hotel's casino. Unfortunately it didn't take her long to lose all of it! :) I, on the other hand broke even.
    Best of luck to all who give it a whirl!!!

    Venetian Hotel/Casino: The best sights in Vegas
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Las Vegas Venetian Hotel/Casino
  • Gondola ride at Venetian
  • by HotRodEtte
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • I found the Venetian to be the most attractive hotel on the strip, with the best views and photo ops. Although it's also the most popular with couples, my friend and I trolled the grand canal shops and toured the grounds. We were able to see about 7 weddings (post-ceremony) and families taking advantage of the gondola rides.

    Bellagio Fountains: This was so cool!
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Las Vegas Bellagio Fountains
  • Bellagio fountain display
  • by HotRodEtte , 2 more photos
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Every 30 minutes an amazing water show emerges from the lake surrounding the front of the Bellagio resort. Dancing fountains light up the sky to the beat of perky music. Beware, as you're standing around in the quietness of thousands, waiting for the show to begin, the loud popping of the fountains will take you by surprise!!! This was a great show and the best part of it, it's FREE!!!

    Mandalay Bay: so much to do, so little time!
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Mandalay Bay has much to offer, aside from the hotel and casino, there is a huge sports book, abundant restaurants, shops and night spots. Strongly recommend the Burger Bar on the 2nd floor of Mandalay Place, and Rum Jungle, the restaurant turned night club.

    Caesar's Palace: Choose your option
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Las Vegas Caesar's Palace
  • Forum Shops - Caesars Palace
  • by HotRodEtte
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Whether it's shopping, eating/drinking, clubbing or just hanging out watching the shows, there's something here for everyone. You can sit in the atrium where the living-statues perform every half hour--and the show is free! The forum shops are always enough to keep the avid shopper happy or you can grab a bite and a drink at Planet Hollywood. CP is also home to OPM and Pure, 2 of the hottest night clubs in Vegas.

  • The Luxor is a great place to sightsee, if not anything else. Great views inside, it's a must to check out the lobby and get some photos. There are also several shops, a great casino and it's home of the hot nightclub RA.

     Refreshing to hear you tell the truth about not being lucky in Vegas. Most people spin a winning tale.
