The Venitian is SO pretty & their Customer Service is Top Notch!!! I go to Vegas at least once a year & I always stay at the Venitian Hotel. LOVE shopping there also, along with the forum shops at Ceasars. If you can go the "V" and walk through their shops and see the Live Satutes.........VERY Cool and you can stand by them for pictures also. It is neat. Go down to the old strip to see the Light show, If you have never seen it you must see it at least once. You can grab your hotel limo for under $40 and they will take you there, drop you off and then pick you up when your ready to come back to your hotel. Much cheaper then a cab & your limo driver will take you on a cuise of Las Vegas. Pretty neat IMO. Saw the Lance Burton Magic Show, It was nice, a one time show, he is very good. Wedding chapels.......You will see a plenty. LOL! You will also see ELVIS.......LOL! He is always standing at one of the little stores that sell all that Vegas junk. LOL! If you like shopping they have an Outlet Mall about an hour from Vegas...........NICE MALL! :)

You will have a blast!

Yes!! Love the Outlet Malls! I would love them even more, now that I love to go shopping!

Did they close down the Aladdin Hotel already? I know they are going to change it to Planet Hollywood Hotel or something like that. The Mall in there was cool to walk through with the indoor thunderstorm every 1/2 hour.

1. Blue Man Group - must see
2. The major casinos - just to see all the cool stuff!!!
3. If you like Star Trek (like we do) - The Experience at the Hilton
4. If you like scenery - hop in a car and get to Red Rock Canyon
5. There is always the Dam Tour ;)
6. The Venetian is cool (especially for shopping)
7. The water show at the Bellagio and when we were there it had a Monet art showcase
8. The Secret Garden at the Mirage
9. Lots of other stuff, but avoid walking at night unless you want 3 trillion porn handouts ;)

I agree. It's worth the trip just to see the lights at night.

Zumanity was so-so in terms of Cirque shows. Its not a traditional Cirque show. I highly recommend getting one of the love seats if possible - maybe you can get pulled on stage for their carnival of carnel delight (ok I made that up). I had a Horni margarita - yum. I do recommend "peeping" in the peep holes these will be along the velvet wall near the bars & bathrooms. The two nakie fat twin girlies are uber cute - figured I could always do their job if I wanted to move to vegas. Get a chocolate dipped strawberry from them if you can.

As far as traditional Cirque shows go - I'd sooooooooo recommend "O" @ the Bellagio. We went in December for my birthday and caught it. it is AMAZING!! Mystere @ TI is high up there too. We had gone in June and was unable to get tickets to O or Love - so we settled for Zumanity because I was determined to see a show. I'll do a drive back to Vegas (uhh 3 hours is nothing to this girl who drives to Vegas just to buy a purse) and see Love.

Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.
