Ellis Island....agree about the steak, OK for price but nothing to rave about. Great ribs at BBQ (not too fussed about the chicken)

Pinball Hall of Fame - still on the list, although pinball machines didn't figure in my youth or childhood. Just want to see what the fuss is about.

.......

I wouldnt get to excited about the pinball hall of fame if you are not into pinball.

It is one room,dark,always hot, I dont think their air con works very well, full of rows of playable pinball machines from wayback up to recent times, up to a dollar a go.

having said that if you like playing pinball machines it is great!

Not sure if there is anything we havent done that we want to do, have done most of the things from others lists plus lots of Go karting and other sports things as we have been going for years with my son so have always had to find things we can do with him.

A Bellagio room tour would be good

Neon museum we have given some thought to and may do at some time.

Just realised one thing I havent done is drive a Nascar at the LVMS...that would be fun but also expensive!!!

No one has mentioned the Strat tower I assume everyone has been up there both during the day and at night, if not def worth it. You have to try at least one of the rides at the same time though!!

I nearly included the Strat in my list of things I haven't done, but as I've no desire to go there I missed it off.

We've had great views from Alize, Mix, THEhotel, Cosmo and Encore so a another great view isn't important.

As for the rides, no thank you!!

Thanks photome. Pinball off the list now. ( or at the very bottom of it)

I didn't mention Stratosphere but the rides are definitely NOT on my list.

we have been up the Strat tower a couple of times...rode the High Roller when it was still there...I want to ride x-scream but hubby won't go near it and every time we've had friends/family in Vegas at the same time someone has said they will do it with me and then they chicken out.

I dont think is another view like the one from the Strat (except from the plane on the way in or out, and the lift ride to to the top is great, 109 floors in about 30 seconds.

I havent done the rides either (to scared) my wife has been on the bigshot, great to see the faces of people coming of the X scream ride

If we are ever out there together my wife would go on with you but my god that ride is scary:eek:

I think the only thing that I have a real hankering to do which we haven't done yet is the Scoot City Tour.

Other than that I'm more than happy to go with the flow.

So far nothing booked yet for heading to Vegas this year although that may change if funds allow.
