BOB47 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 The plan is to fly out to Vegas, spend a day or two there, rent a car and drive to the Grand Canyon for 3-4 days. Then back to vegas and home. 2nd or 3rd week of May. We were in Vegas about 25 years ago so I'm sure it's completely different now. Looking at staying at the Luxor and the South side of the canyon. Figured we have lots of members in or near Vegas that might be able to shed some insight on what to look for or look out for in that area. Anybody made that trip? Good/bad experiences?

diggerdan11 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I love vegas, been there many many times, and my sister lives there. The Luxor is a nice hotel, actually all the hotels on the strip are nice. I have stayed at the Luxor, Venetian, Belagio, and New York New York, and i think the Venetian was the best. If you get a chance you have to see a show of some sort, the only problem is they are fairly expensive. Go see one of the Circ De Sole's like Mystere, or Ra, you might want to stay away from Zumanity (its almost like hardcore porn), or go see Blue Man Group, i have seen them 3 times and would go again in a second. As for the Grand Canyon, i have only flown there on a helicopter from Vegas, but thats not really the impressive part of the canyon. Im going to be going there in early in may though. Have fun on the trip i know theres lots of guys on the forum from vegas and they can help you out more than i can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Silv Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I haven't been to Vegas, but if this is your first time seeing the Grand Canyon, be prepared to be amazed. When I was younger, my parents took us to the canyon. I wasn't excited at all, but once I got there I couldn't beleive what I saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 the new slywalk at the grand canyon look really cool . if you watch fantasy factory they had an episode where they have these zip lines that are like a mile long . its right outside vegas http://www.bootlegcanyonflightlines.com/ i go to vegas 3-4 times a year and im there to just party and win money. so i go whereever the good times take me. the wynn is pretty cool , check out the ferrari exhibit. they also have a good sushi joint. hard rock has a cool thing on sundays called rehab for an outside pool party kind of deal . they also have the pink taco which is some pretty good mexican food there is a place called the hofbrahouse , which is a cool german pub with live music. http://www.hofbrauhauslasvegas.com/ i can go on for days but thats just some of the stuff ive done there , espeically the gentlemens clubs.

1 Fast SS Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 If your coming in May, then bring your shorts, cause its a hot mo fo in may! Depending on what part of may, it will be in the 100's by then. You can stay in the casino's to keep you cool. It has changed alot since you've been here. I've been here for 23 years. Try the Hard Rock too, lots to see here. Just do a search on Vegas, and it will give you alot to do in couple of days. Most people walk the strip and check everything out. Bring lots of film or memory sticks for your camera too. Get some great shots at night with all the lights. Good luck Bob. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 On your way out to the Grand Canyon you'll pass the Hoover Dam. Check that out, it's pretty cool. The drive out that way is a blast with alot of fun curves and stuff. Hopefully you'll enjoy it as much as I do here. Make sure to walk through some of the casino's as they are some of the best looking buildings I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure to walk through some of the casino's as they are some of the best looking buildings I've ever seen. I forgot that you're out there Zippy. Want to loan your truck out for a week? I promise to keep it under 140. Most of the time. We went to Hoover Dam the 1st time we were there. It's pretty impressive. We talked about moving there years ago but couldn't sell our house here at the time. Glad to hear you like it out there. Nice and warm most of the time. I know you like the Michigan winters about as much as I do. Edited April 9, 2009 by BOB47 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
