Vegas 2016 by Doug G | Photobucket

Just back in MD 7am this morning....

Took my Wife, my Daughter, and a friend of my Daughters (since like 3rd grade) to Vegas for my Daughters 16th B-day.
Had a great time, got to see the fountains this time as well as the Fremont Street Experience (light show and the "other sights" as well, not for the "conservatives") Daughter and friend did the roller coaster at NYNY and :noway: NO WAY was I getting on :noway:

Learned a few things as well....like the bus

GREAT way to get around. Wife's Fitbit said we walked 10 miles

I sure feel it !

All in all....GREAT time. I only wish I could have stayed until Saturday and made Cars and Coffee :crying:
Weather was 75-80 during the days and upper 50's to low 60's at nite....PERFECT !

And never even called. Lol

If you never been, put it on your bucket list.

Bellagio Fountains
Fremont Street Experience
Mirage Volcano
And all the street performers everywhere (be ready to hounded for a dollar if you want to get a picture or watch the show which some are worth)

$8 bus ticket...
Ride for 24hrs as much as you want/need.
Goes up and down the strip.
Bus every 20mins or so.
Things are not as close as they look

Taxi's are $7 as soon as they start the meter

Don't believe anyone who says food is cheap (that changed years ago...like 10+) Average meal for 4 was $100 w/o extras (cheap)
$42 bus (open top double decker) only runs at certain times and routes/stops.
Pre-pay for everything you can before going (air fare both ways, ride from airport to hotel and back, any sight seeing trips, ETC...you'll save money and know you have a way in/out if you lose your "butt" at the tables/slots

Good idea.
There are probably something like 3 TC guys who live in Vegas, right?

Actually about a dozen. But everybody wants to go to Vegas>

Glad to hear you had fun Doug!
It's an interesting place for sure, I'm not into gambling but there is still lots to do. Last 3-4 times I've been there I spent 90% of my time about 30 minutes out of town, at the strip (not the strip club, as far as anyone knows....:wink2: ).

If you ever come back make it in November when the street car supernationals is in town, best race in the US, nothing like you've ever seen!

DOUG G · Mar 19, 2016

Yes, lots to do besides gambling....just people watching was interesting

Would like to go again as I wanted to do the racecar track thing but time and $$$ wasn't on my side this time as well as being my Daughters B-day (her time)... 2 things on the list by me was the fountains and the Fremont St. Exp. (must see's :yes: )

Hope to have a better plan next time....but HATE schedules

Just so much to do/see....not only about gambling.

I would never get anything done in that type of atmosphere.
