S. California/Vegas in 10 days
 

I'm going on vacation with two boys 11 & 14 to San Diego, LA and Vegas. We're leaving on Thursday and I'm just looking for some must see and resturant recommendations. Any little bit of help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey kat..
Where are you staying in SD and Vegas?

OK - San Diego is a big place. LA is a HUGE place. Las Vegas is . . . well, Las vegas.

Can't very well make restaurant recs for SD or LA w/o knowing where you are staying. The restaurants could easily be an hour or more from your hotels.

Tall order.

A few thoughts: Universal Studios in LA and SeaWorld are big musts with kids that age. The Wild Animal Park (or whatever it's called)might be a good choice. Is it too late in the year to go to a Dodger's game?

Vegas is beginning to be less family-friendly than in the past, but if you can afford it, I would take them to see "O", the Cirque du Soleil show.

Skip the whole Hollywood Blvd. scene. Seedy and frankly, scary, if you go there wrong time of day.

I'm staying in the Universal Sheraton, Sheraton Marina on Harbor Drive and in Las Vegas we're staying in Planet Hollywood formerly Aladdin.
