Leaving for Vegas TOMORROW
 
I'm leaving for Vegas tomorrow. We're staying at Bally's and going SWA. Any final tips? Advice?

drink lots of water and get a shaddy spot by the pool - 103 degrees there today.

Get ready to walk A LOT.

If you get tired of all that man-made gliz, then take the short drive to Red Rock Canyon National Conservational just a short drive from Las Vegas.

It's a nice break and won't break the bank!

utahtea, you forgot an important bit of advice: Go early in the day before it gets real hot!

HowardR,

Early is good if they plan to do any hiking, but if they want just a nice scenic drive then anytime in an aircondition car will do.

OMG I am so jealous. I just got back from Vegas on Tuesday afternoon. Had to cut my trip short by 2 days as I live in the islands and had to prepare my house for hurricane Frances. My husband and I stayed at Bally's. We loved it there. We had gotten a good internet rate but when we arrived (check in at the airport!) we decided to upgrade to a suite for an extra $20 a night. It was a great room in the South Tower. Huge! And we didn't have to walk all through the casino to get out of the hotel. Nice coffee every morning at Nosh just by the elevators. We had the best wedding anniversary dinner at Olives in the Bellagio. It was amazing. Drinks after at Caramel. Also Bellagio.
Staff at Ballys were great. Because of the hurricane we had to leave the hotel in a hurry so we checked out at 9pm on Monday evening to catch an 11:30 flight to Miami. I was half expecting to be charged for the room for that night but they let it go.
I was sooooo upset that we had to leave like that but these things happen.

Have a great trip!!
