Answer#1: THE least expensive place to go that time of yeaar
in Las Vegas. Hotel rooms are dirt cheep during
the period Dec 3 through 30, but not New Years
Eve. Its less crowded, plenty of entertainment,
great hotels and restaurants.When you go to Las
Vegas these usual things you will want to see for
FREE:1. Number one on my list is to watch the
fountains displays in front of the Bellagio hotel.
It usually runs every 15 minutes in summers
starting at 3:00 PM; runs continuously until about
midnight. Each show is different (there are more
than 20 different tunes choreographed) so stay
and watch at least 2 or 3. ALSO, go inside the
Bellagio hotel to its lobby and view the beautiful
glass sculptured ceiling AND the seasonal floral
arrangements in the Atrium. 2. The “Sirens of
TI” show (spectacular) in from of the Treasure
Island Hotel; it runs every 90 minutes starting at
about 4:30 PM. Simply stand on the sidewalk in
front of the TI Hotel.3. The volcano erupt in
from of the Mirage Hotel; starting at dark until
midnight. Again, just stand on the sidewalk in
front of the hotel.4. Go down to Fremont Street
and see the light shows. There are usually 3 or 4
different shows, starting after dark (about
8:30PM) and lasting about 5 or 10 minutes each.5.
Go to the RIO hotel to see the Masquerade in
the Sky show. It is like Mardi Gras parade, only
suspended from the ceiling over the gambling
floor. It runs every 60 minutes starting about
3:00 PM; the last show starts at 9:30 PM..6. Go
to the MGM Grand hotel to see the Lion habitat.
This is better then the tiger habitat at the
Mirage Hotel because there are usually trainers in
with lions to keep them active.7. Go to the
Mirage hotel to see the white tigers that
Siegfried and Roy show used. This is kinda passe
because the tigers rarely do anything but sit and
stare. 8. Go in Caesars Palace and walk through
the Forum shops to the first fountain (its
spectacular) then take the first fork to the left
to go see the aquarium. Then continue on through
the shops to the second fountain and wait for the
show to start.9. Go into the Flamingo hotel to see
their animal habitat with flamingos and
penguins.10 The Excalibur hotel also has a free
show starting at 10:00 AM until 10:00 PM.Then
there is this:SHOPPING: There's shopping at
Fashion show mall right next to Treasure Island
Hotel (across from the Wynn Hotel), or you can
drive or take a taxi or the bus south of the Strip
(just past the airport) to the outlet mall. For
more shopping, drive south on I-15 to Primm, NV
(at the Calif border ... about 45 miles) and there
is a big outlet mall and some casinos.DINING: The
hotel coffee shops and buffets are now much more
expensive than they were years ago. So, if you
want to eat for less go to the food courts located
in many hotels and also try one of the several
Denny's restaurants on the Strip (one in the
Casino Royal hotel/casino and another across from
the Monte Carlo hotel/casino). There are also a
number of McDonald, Burger King, and other fast
food places on the Stip. You can get breakfast and
dinner buffets a few dollars less at the Imperial
Palace hotel/casino and at the Gold Coast
hotel/casino. Buffets also cost less at the
Circus Circus hotel/casino and in Fremont St
hotel/casinos. There is an Outback Steak House in
the Casino Royale Hotel and another across from
the RIO. There is a Cheesecake Factory and a
Planet Hollywood in Caesars Forum shops. There is
a Margerittaville in the Flamingo hotel. I
recommend Tony Roma’s, a ribs and chicken
restaurant; one in the Stardust hotel/casino, one
on Fremont St and another on Sahara Ave near
Paradise Rd.MOVIES: There are movie theaters in
the Palms (multiplex) and also another on the
Strip across the street from the Monte Carlo
hotel, near the MGM hotel.BOWLING: If you like to
bowl, there are alley's in The Gold Coast
Hotel/Casino (beside the RIO) and in the Orleans
Hotel Casino. .RED ROCK CANYON: Its about 20
miles west of Las Vegas out Charleston Blvd (you
can pick up that street at the north end of the
Strip) It’s a scenic drive-through park. Go
early, not in the heat of the day; there's no
shade.HOOVER DAM: Drive about 30 miles southeast
of Vegas and go to Hoover Dam; the National Park
Service offers tours there (@ $15.) and its
interesting stuff. Go on past Hoover dam to
Boulder City and then to Lake Meade for a swim
and/or to visit the new casino there. Also, there
are tour companies that will take you on a cruise
of the river below Hoover Dam. Check the Vegas
web sites.VALLEY OF FIRE STATE PARK: Drive about
35 miles north of Vegas on I-15 and go to Valley
of Fire State Park, another scenic park area.ZION
NATION PARK: It’s a long drive (about 2-3
hours), but you can drive North on I-15 to Zion
National Park and back in one day.DEATH VALLEY: If
you like to visit National Parks, drive about an
hour and a half south of Vegas on I-15 and take
RT-127 to Death Valley National Park (total drive
may be 3 hrs each way).GRAND CANYON: The drive to
the Grand Canyon is 5 long hard hours on mostly
two lane roads with trucks and campers (only a
short way on I-40). You can drive there and back
in one day if you leave early morning, like
6:00-7:00 AM. That will put you there about noon
and you will have 4 or 5 hrs before starting back
and getting back to Vegas about 11:00PM. I
recommend staying overnight at the Canyon (there
are plenty of motels near there, like Best
Western, Ramada, Quality inns) and drive back the
next day.
Answer#2: I just returned From Cancun And I loved it!! We
were a large group from ages 5-69. Many people
believe Cancun is only for partying but I
dissagree. The total cost for 2 people staying in
a room was 1600. WHich included 3* Hotel all meals
and drinks, airfare, and transportation from
airport to hotel and back. Research prices at
places like travelocity, expedia, yahoo travelGood
luck and Happy travels
