Questions to our first trip in Las vegas!
"George Perry" wrote in message om...
"brenda" wrote in message om... (Sandra) wrote in message . com... Hi, A very Happy New Year to all of you!! Me and Hubby are going to las vegas in Feb. This will be our first trip to vegas and the last (hopefully) before we become 3!! Thought we should cover the sin city before we enter the family kingdom! The last of our lazy-n-free days... So here are a couple of questions: 4) las vegas is the 'night city'. can you suggest any activities for the day there? Shopping, Eating, Shopping, Eating,... Don't know how long you'll be there, but the outlets out in Primm (all the way on the Cal/Nev border) are great - it just takes a whole day to get there & do them. Hi went to Vegas last March - superb stayed at the Luxor with no issues, the Blue Man group is a must, also saw Lance Burton (pretty Good) and O which was reat. Cheap and cheerful lunch - then try the cheesecake factory at Caesars Palace where the service is good and the food is better (with large portions) i'd suggest Ehtel M's cocolate facotry/cactus garden. However, you might want to save that for when the three of you return and you visit the Dam. Red Rock Canyon is pretty cool, and the temps probably not too oppressive in Feb. |

Questions to our first trip in Las vegas!
Brenda (above) mentioned the show Mamma Mia! which is at the Mandalay
Bay Theater. It's based on the songs of ABBA and is highly rated (and hence well attended). We loved it. We spent a week in LV over the recent New Years and the "high season" is obviously NOW. We'd wanted to see Celine Dion's new show at Caesars Palace but felt the tics @ $350 (each) in the mezzanine(!) were too steep. Some folks were paying $800 and the front seats were gone. Shopping and eating were our main activities outside of the casinos. The 24 hour activity inside the hotels and casinos (going outside to move to another venue is a shock) makes one forget the obligatory sleep....so we came home exhausted. Vehicle traffic jams (again, 24 hours) on the Strip and heavy cig smoke in the hotels were the downers. Coming home with modest winnings was the high. Bob McNabb |

Because, even though it's "right off of Sunset Road," and Sunset is such a large road, Ethel M.'s is located at an awkward location. If you're driving east on Sunset Road through Henderson [from the west, and the direction of Las Vegas], you eventually come to a T-intersection. Turn right, and you're still on Sunset. Turn left and you're on Mountain Vista. Go straight [which seems pertty impossible when you're actually driving on Sunset] and you're on Sunset Way, which will lead you to "Cactus Drive" and the Ethel M. factory and catcus garden. If you're driving west on Sunset Road [from the east, and the direction of Sunset Galleria, Sunset Station, etc], you'll want to drive on the right side. Then, when you hit the intersection that tells you that the left two lanes continue on Sunset, while the right two lanes go to Mountain Vista, stay to the right and be looking for that Sunset Way to turn off on. I thought I had heard that the tours of the factory might be ending. Just as well, as the "tour" itself was pretty pointless. But the cactus garden should still be there, as well as the factory store. TK |
