Las Vegas

Definitely do a helicopter trip to the canyon it’s spectacular and once in a lifetime, Hoover Dam, Bellagio fountain show, and just wander in and out of the casinos not for the gambling but just how spectacular the interiors are. 3 days was plenty for me too I wouldn’t go again but it was so worth the drive.

Well if you only have 3 days plan it well I would say!
The grand c is so different fr LV obviously, so decide which you prefer then prioritise your time that way.
For my taste I couldn’t get enough of the GC, and certainly it’s a MUST to take the helicopter ride over it!
LV is worth a look too, but I so loved the GC that it kind of overtook my memory of LV
Happy holidays ?

Dogsmother I shall be there just before you. It’s the last stop on my road trip holiday. Hoping to get to the dam on the way from Death Valley and have helicopter trip booked for the canyon.
People I know who have been all loved it!
Will report back when I am home!

Two or three days in Vegas will be more than enough, if you're anything like us! We have no interest in gambling and anyway had a child with us. It was fine to walk around and see the lights and sights, architectural and human. We went to a show, of highlights from musicals, if I remember correctly.

We were happy then to head off to the Grand Canyon and LA. If you're in the area, do visit the Hoover Dam. My engineer dh wanted to see it, although I wasn't interested. In fact, it's fascinating. The size of it is extraordinary and it's a beautiful art-deco construction, even the public loos, where, if you choose the right cubicle, you can sit on the throne and look out over the view.

Oh thank you both, much more positive, himself will certainly enjoy the sights of the old cars and I too love to people watch any which way.

Hi we went about 5 years ago we did
A gondola ride at the Venetian hotel
Watch the Bellagio Fountain show Outside at certain times each day
Walk the Strip and admire the hotels
Pose for a photo at the iconic Las Vegas sign It’s been there since 1959
Go over to Fremont Street for a taste of old Las Vegas see the big gold nugget.
Enjoy a high quality, reasonably priced burger, try in the Mandalay Bay Resort chef Hubert Keller’s burger bar

dogsmother We went for our eldest son's wedding 4 yrs ago and it was the best holiday we have ever been on.
Have you already booked your trip to GC we found booking before we arrived made it easier and as you are only there 2 days you need to confirm a place.
Buy a bus ticket for travel from the Strip down to Freemont Street where you will see lots of street entertainers if that interests you,its an experience.Every one was so nice and friendly,any men going will love the Linq hotel and all their American Vintage cars going back to Al Capone days. Enjoy I am going again next year for my 70th,can't wait.

I don't think I'd care for it myself, but I had a colleague who adored it and went every year. I've heard of many others who love it, so I do hope you will enjoy it!

Oh dear!
Have certainly traveled plenty too and not been interested thus far......

Visited Las Vegas 50 years ago and thought it was 'hell on earth'. Have travelled extensively in the many decades since then and it is probably the one place I would never, ever want to return to.
