We made it out alive from Vegas and thanks to all the helpful hints we got here, we had a pretty good time!!!

The gun Shop- rented a fully auto 45 cal thompsom, a AK-47, Browning BAR, what can I say, but it was worth it!!!! Wife shot a 9mm glock.
Deep sea reef- was ok, got to pet a string ray
Bodies- very, good but disturbing
Titanic- very good
Hoover dam- very good
Harley rental- amazing, it was 22 C, rode to Laughlin and back, rode the strip, rented from Arlen ness shop
Car rental- rented from Dream Cars on the strip, we good to deal with
Rio seafood Buffet- impressive, lots of crap legs
Shows- we went to Marc Savard, he was hypnotist, a Canadian, we laughed for 2 hrs
Duce- we bought a 24 hr pas for 7 bucks, took it all over
Fat Tuesday- frozen drinks, got us happy more then once
Pampa's- awesome food, expensive tho
red rock canyon- was ok

In short we packed in alot in 4 nights 5 days! It was fun

Thanks for the info. Make use of any coupons? My turn next week.:D the wife will be looking for the sea food buffet.:lol: Got a bus tour booked of the Grand Canyon, hoover dam and sky walk. Plan on renting a car for a day as well and check out the desert and fossils on Frenchman mountain. Any good sporting goods or surplus stores there?

Grizz: The coupons are everywhere, some good, some are not! People hand them out constantly, We did use some tho! The Rio Seafood buffet is great, ate my share of Crab, but it is crowed, when went to the supper one and there was about .5 hour wait! We drove our selves to hoover dam, less then 1 hr away, we rented from dream car rentals, a little puddle jumper for 39 bucks per day for everything except fuel!
The sports stores we never looked for but we did go the Pawn Stars pawn shop, they have a show on the history channel I think. It was pretty cool!
If you can sit through a timeshare presentation, they will give you all sorts of stuff! Stay away from the grant view people their crooks!

The hit for me was the Gun Shop and the Harley rental!

I have never had any desire to go to Vegas. But your itinerary sounds good Grizz. Grand Canyon and desert stuff sounds interesting.

Never thought about going to the desert for a sea food dinner???

Neither did I. But I went down for NASCAR in March 2004. Been back seven times since.

Not a bad place for a short holiday. Lots there besides casinos. Been about 20 years since we were there last and a lot has changed. Still remember the pirate ship battle, outside Treasure Island. Atomic museum another must for me. Wife thinks we're going to Ground Zero, but I don't think it's likely.:lol:

I was there this weekend too. Very fun. I had no idea Americans were on a long weekend too. Didn't see half of what we wanted to, oh well its a good reason to go back.
