    Yeah, Guns & strippers! :D:D (you never know these days ;) )
    I did the skyjump, was cool and so on, best feeling was standing on the ledge for 5 mins taking in the sights (was at 9pm).... that was worth the $100


    Or, if she likes cars, maybe do the 'Muscle challenge' at LV race track ?

    $199 (so about £145 ?)

    I hadnt seen that muscle car challenge before.

    I nearly just booked it, but got to think about how hot it will be doing that in August at 1pm (the only time available)
    but it looks awesome

    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    This question has already been answered pretty comprehensively, but I thought my experience there in 2012 may help someone save money. We were surprised that we would have to pay to get to the observation deck and then pay again for the rides. We didnt like the idea of a double-payment. :mad:

    I think it depends on how many rides you want to do - more than one I think the tower + ride package would work out cheaper?

    Thanks for the advice on what I can get for my sister. I think I will offer her either a Skyjump package, or a helicopter tour of the Strip.

    Btw does anyone have any active promo codes for Restaurant.com? Or know when one will be released?

    Sixth Anniversary
    or a helicopter tour of the Strip
    You might like to check what this company offers, for example a bus trip to the Grand Canyon maybe?

    (there are other companies)
    BTW South Rim (in the national park) is much, much better than West Rim/Grand Canyon West (outside the park)

    Thanks. We've already got a trip to the Grand Canyon sorted, we decided to hire cars from Hertz as opposed to a bus tour. Helicopter would've been ideal but we found it to be prohibitively expensive for us. We are also only doing the West Rim, I know the South Rim is meant to be a lot better but we can't face the thought of a 5-ish hour drive each way whilst hungover beyond all belief. (And no, not drinking the night before is not an option!!!)
  • Flying to Vegas at the end of the week, but just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who contributes to this thread.
