Q. A group of friends and I are planning a short vacation to Las Vegas. We are planning to stay for three days and looking for an economic stay in a hotel close to casinos and the main entertainment. Any suggestions, it is my first time going to Las Vegas. Feedback is greatly appreciated.
A. Hate referring you to a competitor, but Living Social Escapes, Travelzoo and LasVegasDeals have great hotel packages. Try googling the words daily, vegas and deals -- you should be able to find lots of good deals popping up. Any off The Strip hotels provide good value. Either behind the Strip on Paradise Road or west of I-15. Restaurants are much cheaper, too. Fremont Street, the old downtown Strip is a fun place to visit and hotels are cheaper and friendlier than Strip casinos. You'll have to drive or taxi to there. Palace Station is just on the other side of the Strip, has good room prices and the buffets with a player card are $4.99 for breakfast, $6.99 for lunch and $9.99 for dinner. Food is good and the value is phenomenal. Gold Coast is on Tropicana west of the Strip and offers pretty good values with lots of restaurants. If you really wanna know what Las Vegas is about, take a tour to Red Rock Canyon or Mt. Charleston. I hardly ever go to the Strip any more, but enjoy these natural beauties almost daily. Have fun!
Las Vegas: where are some nice indoor places to take wedding pictures that is allowed?
Q. I am getting married this Friday and need a place that is not outdoors (temperatures in Vegas of 110!!!) and that is allowed!
A. Are you getting married like at a little quick church or something and not at a venue that provides great areas for photos? I lived in Las Vegas for 14 years and there are a bunch of places to go, but there are always going to be crowds. It IS your wedding photos and the temperatures are not that bad for 20 minutes of photos, especially if you have an umbrella handy and leave the car and AC running. I took photos on a golf course in phoenix next to a lake and it was worth it, its not humid, after all. Just a dry heat. If you can stand outside for a bit, I recommend a quick 20 minute drive up Charleston to Red Rock for some amazing photos, you wont be sorry. Also, if you can stand the temp. for 20 minutes but dont feel like driving off the strip, pose on the side walk infront of the Bellagio Hotel while their water fountain show is going. It lasts for 15 minutes I believe and the railing that you'll be standing up against is a beautiful stone, and obviously the view behind you will be unreal, the show is amazing.
If inside, and on the strip, the lobby of the Bellagio is amazing, tons of flowers, a huge botanical garden and skylights next to the front desk
