Fun Things to Do in Vegas
 
I'm looking for some ideas on fun things to do and see while in Vegas. I will also take ideas for good places to go for lunch!!! Thanks.

stand in front of the bellagio, and say &quot;ooo and ahhh&quot; as the magnificent (according to craig-see bellagio vs. posts) waters dance before you, be sure to bring your blood pressure medicine as it can get very exciting.<BR><BR>Seriously, though it can be fun to see the various shows that take place in front of the hotels, but they can all be seen in one night. Check out the myriad (one night I was there, I had a choice of Ray Romano, Britney Spears(not for me), Puddle of Mudd, and The Heavyweight championship the next night---there is alot going on-be sure to plan in advance as things sell out) of shows that are there on any given night, wonderful restaurants (Commanders Palace for instance-at Aladdin), if you have the money to eat and see the shows you should have alot of fun.

o to slots of fun. they have $1 21. it is hours of fun. Check out what conventions are in town - one time the porn actors convention was there - for a nominal fee I saw some of my favorites actors in person. Ride the roller-coster on top of the stratosphere (after lunch). Then have lunch in the cafe there-reasonable and great view. Go on the roller coaster ride at the NY Ny - another fun ride. Tour the Guggenheim - they currently have a motorcycle through the ages display. Lunch at the Bellagio buffet. Take a brewery tour of the Holy cow brewery - they have a good sausage platter. renting a car? - see Hoover dam - can you say vertigo? worth the trip. going in the summer - rent a speedboat at Lake mead and water ski around some amazing scenery. I leave the 31 for vegas - can't wait!

I prefer a pair of 40oz Old English 800s and a pack of Swisher Sweets. Sit by the window and watch the lights.
