Q. They have been there a million times before moving. But its my mom's birthday and I just want to get her a certificate for them to do something different. Any Ideas?
A. Does your mom already have a job? I'm not being rude here. If she doesn't have a job yet, just save the money cause like many Las Vegans she may soon need help with the mortgage/rent.
Going to Vegas where should we stay and is going in the end of July a good idea?
Q. Iam planning on taking my husbad to las vegas the last week in july for a belated 5yr anniv. and birthday gift we plan on staying two nights any suggestions on places to stay on the strip we dont make millions so we need something affortable but still nice and romantic. Also what is the weather like in July
A. Here's what I suggest ... the Monte Carlo: http://www.montecarlo.com/
First, when you look for a hotel in Vegas consider this. All of the big hotels on the Strip are great. The most important things to consider are location, price, and in the summer you want to consider the hotel’s pool area. So, stay on the strip in the center of all of the hotel locations so that you can walk to see all of the hotels and casinos, and all of the free attractions. The best place to stay to do that is in one of the hotels on or nearest to Flamingo Rd & the Strip. At that corner is Caesars Palace, Bellagio, the Flamingo, Ballys, and the Paris hotels. I am not saying you need to stay in one of these but stay close to them. I do recommend the Flamingo and Monte Carlo hotels if you are looking for a good price, location and pool.
The next thing to consider in picking the BEST place is price. Rates go down in the summer (and again after Thanksgiving, until about mid-January (except new years eve when prices double)). So pick a place that has the best price for you. Caesars, Wynn, The Venetian, and Bellagio will cost top dollar all of the time (like $200 and up) per night during the summer. The Flamingo, Ballys Monte Carlo, and some others you can get into for around $100 (but most times for less) during the low seasons. Its also more expensive in all Vegas hotels on Friday and Saturday nights by $40 to $60 more. So to get a lower rate plan to go to Vegas on Sunday and stay through Thursday night.
In the summer you probably want to spend some time at the pool areas, which in Vegas are fabulous. All of the big hotels have great pool areas. But the Mandalay Bay, and Monte Carlo hotels have a wave pool and a lazy river for tubing or body floating. The MGM hotel has a huge lazy river and a water fall. The Flamingo has a water slide (not big but nice and refreshing) and also a water fall. The pools at Caesars and Bellagio are good because they have multiple pools and plenty of places to sit. Caesars even has a topless pool areas called the VENUS POOL.
I have stayed at Mandalay Bay, Excalibur, MGM, Monte Carlo, Bellagio, Caesars, the Rio, the Flamingo, Ballys, and Harrahs. But the BEST place for me when I go is who has the best price. Again, all of the Strip hotels are great. So shop the web sites, look at the hotel rate calendars, and go when the price is the lowest. That's the best place to stay on the Strip.
You can probably get lower priced rooms at the Circus Circus, Sahara and Rivera on the north end of the Strip, the Tropicana on the south end, and also at the hotels on Fremont Street. The Tropicana is one of the older hotels that has not been renovated like many others. The other locations will place you a long way from the center of the strip action and you’ll have to take a bus or taxi to Strip action. In addition, if you need to run to the room for a little R&R, it’s a long ways.
Things To Do In Las Vegas For Underaged Kids?
Q. I turn 19 on Saturday, and my parents are taking me to Vegas this weekend for my birthday. I know I can't go clubbing or gambling, so I want to know other fun things I can do while I'm over there. It's my first time going, so I don't really know what there is.
So does anyone have any ideas of what I can do? I'm sure there's a few things for underaged kids.
Thanks
A. Hope this helps!!!

That might help...if not...have your parents contact me/us through my profile here (click on the picture/avatar) and send us an email..we can help book 'anything' Vegas. Thet can just click on my profile/picture and use the option to 'send an email'...then I can also send you the links and/or include you in our future emails of "exclusive offers that aren't allowed to be posted on the internet" (you won't find them on their sites either, they are only allowed to be distributed by proprietary email lists or password protected sites/pages).
