So much to do!!!

Whilst Las Vegas is full of casinos, gambling is not the only thing to do in Las Vegas. In fact, there's so much to do I'm going to have to go back to be able to take some time and see everything that I almost ran by having spent far too much time at the slots and tables!!!

Gambling

Of course, most people visit Las Vegas to have a few spins on the slots or a few games at the table of their choice. I enjoy roulette and spent one whole night playing roulette (till 4:30am). It was great fun but wish I'd had more money!

The amount of gambling available in Las Vegas poses its own risks but the casinos have lots of notices offering helpline numbers for those who over indulge or develop a gambling problem.

Grand Canyon

One of the best day trips available out of Las Vegas is to the Grand Canyon - if you do nothing else, be sure to take in this magnificent sight!

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Lots to do - and loads for free!!
  • Cons:Get too busy gambling and you'll run out of time
  • In a nutshell:Take more, spend longer!!

    I've always been tempted by Vegas but worried I'd spend (gamble!) to much money! Great tip on the loyalty schemes.

    Hi Gillybob. Hope you enjoy your Vegas trip. I was a bit pissed off with not being able to check into my hotel but had a really memorable night out in Barstow that evening which more than made up for it. Cheers, John,

    Hi Gillybob, looking at your Las vegas page brings memories back, shame I didn't have a digital camera to capture it all back then. Las Vegas really is a world of it's own!
