The area, basically between Mandalay Bay and going north up to the Stratosphere on Las Vegas Boulevard, is known as THE STRIP. Along this stretch of highway are most of the major hotels of Las Vegas. Each one is trying to bring in the business ...

Pros: Lots of free sights to see, amazing hotels and spectacles
Cons: Hooker cards, broken beer bottles

I visited Las Vegas in December 2005. December is a slow month for Vegas. The only reason it was busy when I visited is because a Rodeo was in town and brought with it thousands of coyboys and cowgirls. The downside of visiting in December is that ...

Pros: An unbelievable amount of things to do, see, eat, and drink.
Cons: You can spend tons of money.

Against the advice of many, mr_chelledun and I booked a full five nights in Vegas during our West Coast extravaganza, including four on the Vegas Strip. While we were a bit tired of eating, drinking, and gambling by the end of the week, having so many ...

Pros: everything in the hotel

One night,a few years ago,as my husband and I were walking along the famous "strip", we passed a construction site with a wooden structure surrounding the perimeter of the site. Painted on this "fence" were pictures of the Eiffel...

On the last day of my trip to Las Vegas this past November I stopped at the Guggenheim Hermitage. The original Guggenheim...

Pros: Las Vegas is a wild place to visit.
Cons: You will walk blisters on your feet.

Big. Bright. Boisterous. Las Vegas should be diagnosed as ADHD. There is so much going on at once that it’s hard to focus and to remember where you were headed and what you planned to do. That’s OK though. It’s all about the journey, and if ...

Pros: Great place for people watching; some free shows
Cons: LOTS of people! SMUT

Ok, I have to write this, only because I am sick of clueless people. I go to Las Vegas and always run into someone who just doesn't have one clue. I know there isn't a real standard on how to act on the Strip. But, can't you at least try to keep up with...

Pros: It's Sin City in all its lit up glory.
Cons: It takes a lot longer to walk than it appears to.
