A suggestion for an addition to Page 1. LV TAxi fare finder

** Edit - I've just tried a couple of routes and don't agree with it as it took the strip to get from the airport to the Carriage House instead of Swenson to Koval. Then I tried the CH to Bally's and it took Audrie which is a dead end at the back of Bally's!

Any suggestions for websites to rent a convertible? We wanted out of Vegas, into LA. Can't find much on carhire3000/rentalcars - doesn't seem like they do the mustang, at least from Vegas to LA.

VALUE FOR MONEY

it's hit and miss whether you would get a Mustang convertible or not - the reservation will normally say 'or similar' and convertible Mustangs can be in short supply in Vegas. Most if not all car hire companies in Vegas do convertibles. Dollar definately do Mustang convertibles, as a general thing.

Months since i was last on here...

Anyway. Everything is booked for our June trip, just looking at extra stuff now.

Has anyone done a Hoover Dam tour before? Any recommended?
Im a bit of an Engineering nerd, so anything full of technical talk or sights is good for me

We have done it twice (once just us, once with the in-laws)...both times we did the shorter tour and it was really good...haven't done the longer one so don't know if it's worth the extra cost...if you are an engineering nerd you will loooooooove it...and maybe the longer tour would be a good choice for you.

Theres also a great Discovery channel programme that gets repeated about how they built it.

That's what I like to hear
We stopped off for some photos outside on our way to the Grand Canyon last time, but I'm overly excited about going inside.

I don't suppose you can remember who you did the tour with? There seems to be dozens of companies who go there, and it may just be a case of picking someone good from TripAdvisor, but if you've got any recommendations that would be ace!

We've been on Hoover Dam Tour before - if you're thinking of hiring a car at all then it was just as easy to drive there and just pay on entrance.
