In no particular order, here’s a list of what I found that I’d like to see in Vegas.
Pay Stuff: STAR TREK EXPERIENCE: $30 gets 2 different simulator rides, and access to the museum
VENETIAN GONDOLA RIDES: $15.00 with a group
CIRCUS CIRCUS ADVENTUREDOME: $22 for Adults, $14 for kids
STRATOSPHERE:Tower Admission, Big Shot and X Scream $19, Just Tower admission $9
NEW YORK NEW YORK: Manhattan Express Roller Coaster $12.50
PARIS: Eiffel tower $12 for adults, discount for kids
TOURNAMENT OF KINGS: Basically its “Medeival Times”, but it could be a fun dinner. 50 bucks a ticket.
FREE STUFF: Free acts at Circus-Circus every 1/2 hour Kids under 3 are free at the Stratosphere tower Bellagio fountains Fremont Street Experience Lion Habitat: MGM Grand Tiger Habitat: Mirage Masquerade Show in the Sky: Rio Hotel M&M World The SIRENS OF TI at Treasure island (Replaces the Pirate Show) Volcano at the Mirage
As for the day with the Barnsons: Here’s an idea:
1. – Lunch at Quarks Bar and Grill, About 11AM. (On Deep Space Nine) Cost: Moderate, we’ll prbably split a burger (called a “HamBORGer”) and get a snack later in the day. Avg. 8/person (if we get water, which Kel and I will)
2. – Trek (hee hee) over to Stratosphere (north Strip) Go to the top.. see the sites.. Matt and I can ride the 2 thrill rides (Kel may join for 1, but not for both). Cost: $19 for me and matt, $10-15 for Chris and Kel, about $6 for each kid over 3, free for each kid under.
3. – Then, hit Circus-Circus, where the kids can play for a few hours, catch a free circus show or two.. and we adults can ride more rides too(trading off with kids.. fun for all ages. Cost: $22 per adult riding adult rides, $14 per kid. This will take off hours, so it seems to be the best deal.
4.1 – At this point, if we feel like going, it will be like we’ve been at an amusement park all day.. But, if its early, or we feel adventurous.. 4.2 – We could trek to South Strip and see the Lions at MGM (free), walk the Streets of NY (maybe try the coaster), and scope out the M&M World (free), all within 1 block or so..
5. At that point, we will probably be super super tired, so we can grab a car and split.
Total Cost: About $46 per adult About $30 per kid over 3 About $15 per kid under 3
Not bad at all for a FULL ON day in Vegas including lunch..
Of course, none of this is set in stone.. but still, not bad at all.
You Forgot
You forgot hitting the craps tables at the end of the day and winning back every “cent you spent”.
That’s my personal mantra for going to Vegas. Never pay for a vacation in Vegas. Win all your expenses on the tables.
Get In Groove, Sammy G
How right you are!
And believe me.. there is quite a lot of that to be done..
On the other two days Kel and I will be there, we will b spending one in “Old Vegas” (Where we will see the Fremont St. Experience), playing the cheap tables, eating the bad food.
Then is the gambling-free day with Matt and the Fam.
Finally is an all out tour of the strip starting about 3, ending 12 hours later.. hitting many other places and casinos, trying our luck in many of them, and probably doing the Medeivel Times thing.
So, yes.. we will share some loot with ya wwhen we win the million next month!
