If you are hiring a car I would 100% recommend getting out of Vegas for a couple of day excusions. The best I can recommend is visit ET Highway, it's in a little village called Rachel and is well know for being Area 51. There is a cafe/shop/motel there called the little ale-inn and the people that run are really friendly (not like in Vegas!) You will find it hard to head back to Vegas. Also you could have a run out to Death Valley or Hoover Dam. Hope this helps.

We are hiring a car.....thanks for the tips Julie. I guess its best not to ignore the signs saying "No Entry" around Area 51......must remember to pack my Dr Who Sonic Screwdriver just in case......

I personally wouldn't recommend the drive along the ET highway to my worst enemy. Serious long drive with nothing worthwhile to see apart from the famous cafe. Its a whole days drive if you decide to drive on up to Tonopah and then down through Death Valley (something like 400-500 mil round trip).

If you are planning on driving that far north of Vegas then a better bet would be to head on up the 15 and spend a day in Zion National Park. An overnight stop in St George if you don't want to drive back to Vegas that night is a pittance (or a bit more if you want to stop in one of the casinos in Mesquite.)

Coyote Ugly is worth going for a perv - same as 'Bikini's' at the Rio (name says it all).

'O' Cirque Du Soleil is brilliant, Copperfield at the MGM is class if he's on too. On the Magic theme, slight tackier than Copperfield, is Steve Wyrick. He's cheesy but does make a plane and Hummer disappear off stage!!!

Hoover Dam is a great half day trip.

Very dissapointed with Star Trek experience unless you get vouchers to get in for half price or less.

The way to do the Star Trek Experience is via the Hilton's "Nemesis package". Room and tickets to both "activities" as well as free meal at Quarks for very little.

Having done this packagea couple of times now (before and after the Borg 4D) I really really would be gutted if I'd paid half price for the tickets, never mind full price!
