    Yeah it's not cheap and it's basically the whole day, but I don't care cause I've been to Vegas before so I think I want to see some other stuff this time - and we're not "club" people so...
    or we might do a Death Valley tour instead but I'd rather do Area 51.


    I would highly recommend not droppin the dough on this. You can go out there for free and visit it all yourself. If you have a rental car, just use a map or online directions. You can really do all of what they're offering for free yourself. I've been out there and to be honest, it's really not worth seeing. But if you want to do it, I'd suggest doing it on your own.

    Another great thing to do is Red Rock Canyon. It's only 20 minutes from the Strip and has incredible scenery. There's a 13 mile loop drive that has lots of cool things to see and hiking trails. It offers great hikes and world-class climbing. They have a really cool new desert-themed visitor center with cool exhibits. The red rock formations are really cool. And you can see Indian petroglyphs there too.

    There's also the Springs Preserve which is only 5-10 minutes from the Strip.
    "The Springs Preserve is the premier place in Las Vegas to explore the valley's vibrant history through interactive science and nature exhibits, botanical gardens, hiking, trails, and live animal shows."

    No, I don't think so there. There is one down on Fremont Street. For those not familiar, Fremont Street is located in downtown Las Vegas and has all of the old casinos. It's the place where gambling was first legalized in the '30s. If you've never been, it's a neat thing to see and do for a fun night out. The casinos are smaller, with lower ceilings. The whole street is pedestrian only and has tons of street performers and a canopy of electric lights that puts on a show that runs the entire length of the street.

    I suppose people could walk back over to the Loose Caboose to meet up and rave about the show. With the endless options in Vegas, I just figured that everybody would have their own plan after Ed wows us all.

    I like Fremont because they have the old timey slot machines where you pull the lever. Not the new high tech ones where you push a button on a touch screen.

    Yeah, and I think there may even be some around down there that actually spit out the coins still too.

    Yeah, I am. Do you think there will most likely be just one for both nights? Perhaps with some color variation or something between the two nights?

    *must get me a pair of PJ socks....*
