Vegas is an amazing place. So much to see and do. I even took my grandaughter there for four days and didn't even miss my gambling with all I showed her. I'm not cheap and living in NY I do go for the theater regardless of price, but I resent those show prices in Vegas. There are may shows for less money that are terrific. If you happen to see Bill Acosta appearing anywhere, definitely go and see him. He is half the price of Danny Ganz and fantastic! Lance Burton (magician and I don't even like magic) is wonderful and moderately priced. IF you are willing to go through a timeshare at the Flamingo Hilton, they will give you show tickets, or chips (same as cash) or a dinner on the house and the timeshare is beautiful and fun to see. If you want to see something different, in the lobby of the Flaming there is a Key Tours desk and they will take you for free to Laughlin, Nevada for a day trip. It is about two hours south of Vegas, right on the Colorado river. About ten hotels there, they give you free transportation, free lunch, six hours to spend seeing the area. You can do the riverwalk which is fun, going from hotel to hotel walking right next to the water. All in all it would takes days and days to fill you in but I Hope you have a great time and I KNOW you'll be going back!
