What happens in Vegas

Amazing two weeks of vacation and business are over and I´m back from a nice trip. So what should I tell you about the famous sin city? I could talk about the usual things like what to do and what to see in Las Vegas or what I have done, but like an old phrase telling you everywhere: what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas ;-) Don´t worry: I´m not married now …

Las Vegas Video

Let us start with an video recorded on the Las Vegas Strip a few days ago and features: The Strip, Aria, City Center, MGM, Bellagio Fountains, New York New York, Caesars Palace, strange and funny People and more:

Las Vegas Hotels

First of all: don´t care about where you stay, because it doesn´t really matter where you sleep, it matters where you are! And you are in Vegas! Choose one of the big Strip Hotels (Rooms starting at 29 US$) the tiny other ones or if you like bargain alerts you could also think about going downtown or off-strip (Rooms starting at 19 US$). But downtown is only cool with the Freemont Street Experience at night (when the amazing lights are turned on) and off-strip … not really if you are a first time visitor.  And if you are looking for a big suite: no prob, cause there are a lot of online specials and coupons (google for “las vegas hotel coupons” etc.) and you´ll find what you need -- and I can promise you: you won´t regret a big suite (starting at 49 US$) at Aria, MGM, Bellagio, Mirage, Paris Las Vegas, Wynn, Ceasars Palace, The Venetian etc. ;-)


Las Vegas Attractions

If you like to see Vegas Attractions: Each step you take -- you´ll find it. E.g. The Stratosphere, Atomic Testing Museum, Las Vegas Art Museum, The Big Outlets (South and North) and if you like Guns: you can also fire with full automatic guns at the Gun Store etc. And remember: every big casino offers diverse attractions and shows too.  But there is much more: how about a helicopter tour at night, the Hoover Damm, the Grand Canyon Skywalk or a short trip into the Death Valley ? You´ll find a lot of funny things …

Las Vegas Gambling

It depends on what you like. If you like gambling: Play at the big casinos on the strip or downtown or the small ones a step away from the strip. You´ll find a lot of gambing opportunities like Roulette, Poker, Craps, Slot Machines etc. As European you won´t find many tables with European Roulette (singe zero tables) and the other interesting thing: watch out for the table limits -- that´s one reason why Vegas is getting bigger and bigger.  Most Roulette and Craps tables are starting at 5 US$, Poker tournaments at 40 US$ and above (e.g. Bellagio tournaments for High Rollers), Slot Machines at 1 Cent.

Las Vegas Nightlife

What happens … Make your night into day. It´s Vegas Baby! You will find clubs and bars, pool partys, comedy clubs, shows, strip and nude clubs etc. in Vegas -- whatever you like ;-) And again: it depends on what you like. E.g. Tao Nightclub, Drai´s After Hours, Zumanity Show, Studio 54, Safire, Playboy Nightclub etc. But remember: in the States you have to be at least 21 to gamble or to drink ! And another tip: watch out for the “Tix 4 Tonight” stores in Vegas for half price show tickets.

What you need and other Secrets

Good walking footwear is what you really need -- even if you have a car! Parking and Valet Parking is for free at the big strip hotels. -- you don´t need to worry about that.  If you arrive by plane from Europe: Take a lot time with you and take a taxi to your hotel or to the car rental station (it takes you 10 minutes and about 15 US$ to get to the Strip).  I should tell you also something about the guys with the adult entertainment and hostess flyer: you´ll find them everywhere at the strip- but: remember that real adult entertainment is not allowed in Las Vegas.  If you are an European Gourmet -- forget about finding real Continental Breakfast or good Coffee -- you´re in USA ;-) Last bot not least: For up to date information I would like to recommend you free available print magazines like Las Vegas Weekly,  What´s On, 24/7, Vegas 2 Go etc. that you´ll find on all hot spots.

Las Vegas Photo Gallery

After all that words: Here are some photos (click to enlarge) shooted a few days ago.
