Post by: Thor on September 02, 2012, 11:55:02 am: Hoover Dam tour is great they take you into the turbine room too.

Also Valley of Fire NP http://parks.nv.gov/parks/valley-of-fire-state-park/ (http://parks.nv.gov/parks/valley-of-fire-state-park/) is awe inspiring, good roads to drive on from Vegas too.

There is a Steak Restaurant called 'Prime' in the Bellagio, great steak and you can book a table on the verranda and watch the Fountains whilst you have dinner.

Post by: nads1_uk on September 02, 2012, 03:11:23 pm: When we did the grand canyon helicopter ride we did it with a company called Maverick and they were spot on. Also we went to see sorque du solie (probably mispelt) and that was well worth it.

As far as Las Vegas goes, try and get to one of the big shows, magic ones are very good. Only been once, a few years ago, with the wife and kids so stayed at Circus Circus and went to Ceasars Palace for a show.

A useful site for most things "Vegas"

Had some good nights in studio 54 in the MGM, there's a good views bar at the top of Mandalay bay and see if there is a pool party at the hard rock while your there.
Also do the rides at the top of the stratosphere, good buzz/way to get over a hangover!

All the best

Excellent, I'm very jealous then!
I imagine you will end up in a gentlemans establishment 1 night, there are lots of pr girls wearing dirty stripper heels etc in the casinos preying on lads to go. We have been to a few, be careful tho if you have a dance as they keep dancing after 1 song until you say stop! I had a fitty in spearmint rhino there who was dancing for a good 10mins then asked for $150! I disagreed it was worth that much :grin: so she went to fetch a heavy whilst I scarpered!
The American birds love the accent too even my black country English that they thought was Australian.
It's going to be quality! :drinking:
