Las Vegas

Booked it today, Las Vegas in June. Staying at Mandalay Bay. This is our 3rd trip to Vegas, we took the Hoover Dam tour and saw Howard Hughes's ranch. Went to the Venetian, although we didn't ride in a gondola, went to Ceaser's Palace, saw the lions at MGM, the pirate show at Treasure Island, etc. all the regular tourist stuff. What I would really like to do this time is rent a car and drive out to "Area 51" . Anybody on here done that? If so, how long did it take you to get out there?

If the Stratosphere is still there, do the "Big Shot" and you'll realize you ain't. The Venetian is mind boggling, and I say the best and most fun gambling is at Bally's, especially Blackjack. Buy the all day pass either on the bus line or the monorail and you'll get your money's worth. Rent a car if you want, but you will see nothing of Area 51 except black SUV's appearing out of nowhere telling you to turn around and leave. The scenery is spectacular to say the least.

Hubby did the "Big Shot" when we were there 4 years ago. I am not that brave. Black SUV's huh...wonder if I could get a picture of them chasing us off.

If he is still there I really liked the Mac Brown Comedy Magic Show, it was free at the time, you just had to purchase two drinks.

Oh and the shark reef at Mandalay Bay.

Edit, yes Mac Brown is still there. http://www.vegas.com/shows/magic/mac-king-comedy-magic/

Also liked the Blue Man Group, just dont sit up front if you dont want messy.

Black SUV's. At least the ones that caught our attention about five years ago, and they came out of nowhere. If they have to chase you off, you will probably be detained. Seeing them coming out of nowhere is good enough reason to leave quietly on your own.

Big Shot. At night. What a rush!

I wanna go to Vegas.
But they will take all of my money that I don't have.
