Las Vegas - must sees?

You live in Las Vegas (right?) I have always wondered if this is a fluke or not.
Our driver (is always a different person,barring once) but, they're always Polish.
I've found that a strange coincidence, or is it one?

Hmm...never heard of that coincidence before. To the best of my knowledge, there isn't even a significantly large population of Polish immigrants here in Las Vegas.
We do have a huge number of native born Hawaiians, large population of Hispanics, a fair number of Asians, but from Poland - that is news to me.

Mine have always been Poles and erm.. Afghans. Guess it's to do with how long they've been there, who they know.. Should say they've all been good people too.. oddly my local cab co in London is an Afghan co as well
My driver is always polish though
ok, its a weird coincidence
BUT, to add, the drivers are always employed by the Wynn, so maybe they just happen to have a few Polish drivers or something.
i see paul has polish drivers too...so tis NOT just me.
fuckin right you do.

Got a deal to go here recently, $35 a night at the Hilton (Manilow is still in situ...
So you paid £25 for a hotel room, in the Hilton, and you say they are trying to get ya money off ya as quick as possible. Priceless.

Oh good point, there's nothing to spend money on in Vegas except a room for the night.
My point was that if they just wanted to take as much money off you as possible then a room would be considerably more.
I took the 27 family to California in May and we headed down to Vegas for a week because money goes much further there. Hotel for 6 nights £110, as opposed to £50 a night in the state next door for inferior rooms. If you know where to look eating out can be far cheaper in Vegas, and bar prices too. Plus there are plenty of things to see and do that dont cost anything. Vegas may not be to everyone's taste, but it certainly doesnt need to be expensive. I have never gambled in Vegas, if you choose to do that then it can be v.expensive but otherwise I dont have a problem with it.
I'm headed that way again on Thursday.
Mae is right, they don't get you on the room.
I used to lose lots of money in LV. Not so much now.
But the room is just somewhere to sleep/fall out/hide/whatever.

Hoover Dam / Lake Mead, about 30 miles away. The scale of it is awesome - 110 miles long at its greatest extent.

BTW, I was there in late Jan / early Feb and the weather was fantastic; temperatures in the low / mid 60's and cloudless every day. You get a tremendous sense of space there. One thing to watch for though is static electricity - the air is very dry and the carpets mostly nylon, so you can get quite a shock from a doorknob in a hotel / door handle in a car or truck.

They're about £550 for a direct flight at a reasonable departure time. Trouble is.. you can get a flight and Hotel deal from Lastminute.com for about the same, if you don't mind taking less convenient flights.

On a bit of break...
This thread has been an eye-opener. So many people had such a great time. I can't say I'll ever go myself but the enthusiasm you seem to have is amazing to me.
btw, what's fried cheese? I've always wondered.

Calico? On the road to LA, just outside Bartsow isn't it? I know its right by the US Marines quartermaster depot, where they keep all their stores, tanks and other kit.

Sounds like the place...I forgot to look...
That is probably where you went. However, there is another place you might want to check out next time - going south from Las Vegas towards the Grand Canyon, is Oatman that is only a short side trip off the main road and might be worth a look on your way to, or from, the Grand Canyon.
Speaking of which, some of you might be interested in this place - The Train as a hotel destination combined with a train trip to the Grand Canyon. Can be a bit slow and "touristy", but if you are traveling with kids or grandma, this might be something to consider.
