We got engaged there!</p> <p>Rent a car. Super cheap and you'll spend more on cab fare than you will on a rental for a week. Valet is free at every hotel but we always tip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-vegas-1#post-1410929 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 23:42:44 +0000 808love 1410929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I liked Blue Man Group but that was a long time ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-vegas-1#post-1410645 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 20:20:08 +0000 regberadaisy 1410645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: Omg. I'm so jealous!!! Neither of our works give out free free trips!<br /> You deserve this so much!!! Check travel zoo for deals on events since I know the budget is tight. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-vegas-1#post-1410521 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 18:13:31 +0000 AmandaB8 1410521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Breakfast buffet at the Wynn!!</p> <p>We also toured the Hoover dam, saw gold &amp; silver pawn, and saw the blue man group. Oh! And the stratosphere! The food is super expensive, but they have a roller coaster off the top that was just amazingly cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-vegas-1#post-1410363 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 15:40:07 +0000 mrs. bird 1410363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: awesome! thanks! i think the lions are gone from MGM now :( they moved them to this place which looks pretty neat though <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g45953-d3819966-Reviews-Lion_Habitat_Ranch-Henderson_Nevada.html#REVIEWS" rel="nofollow">http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g45953-d3819966-Reviews-Lion_Habitat_Ranch-Henderson_Nevada.html#REVIEWS</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-vegas-1#post-1410308 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 14:41:33 +0000 marionberry 1410308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have gone to Vegas many times and am taking my lo in March with the rest of our extended family.

It is incredibly fancy and new. My room had a Japanese soaking tub and an amazing shower.

We don't drink, and aren't much into gambling. Things to enjoy:<br /> Great people watching- just walking up and down the strip is great<br /> Ceasar's buffet- AWESOME!<br /> Paris buffet<br /> Shows! You can get tickets at Tix4Tonight which has a bunch of locations along the strip. La Reve was our favorite.<br /> Laying by the pool and hot tubbing<br /> Best pool/lounge- the Golden Nugget. It has a huge saltwater fish tank in the middle of it, and then a water slide that goes through the middle of it. AMAZING!!!!<br /> Old Vegas- lots of amazingly talented people doing their art. Check out the spray paint art.</p> <p>Things that were disappointing:<br /> Flamingo Buffet<br /> Cirque de Soleil Love- I love the Beatles, but was very disappointed by the lack of acrobatics/aerials. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-vegas-1#post-1409806 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 22:56:23 +0000 mrs. bird 1409806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: i forgot to come back and give you my list of plans for the wk! whoops! </p> <p>day trip to the grand canyon<br /> eat at a crazy buffet<br /> see a show (we are going to buy tickets the day of at the tickets for less booth, but i'm hoping for a cirque show and maybe the penn &amp; teller one)<br /> bellagio fountains<br /> treasure island show<br /> stratosphere<br /> fremont st experience<br /> conservatory &amp; botanical gardens at the bellagio<br /> wildlife habitat at flamingo hotel<br /> gondola ride at the venetian<br /> the mob museum </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-vegas-1#post-1407364 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 12:26:28 +0000 LuLu Mom 1407364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: Go explore and walk through the different casinos, they all have something cool about them.

We don't drink very much or gamble very much either, and we tend to get a little bored in vegas after a few days since we don't want to spend a ton doing shows every day. I'd recommend driving out to red rock canyon, hoover dam, and even the grand canyon if you haven't seen it (this is sort of an all day trip though bc it is a few hours away). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-vegas-1#post-1405170 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 19:41:13 +0000 cmomma17 1405170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Costello: oooh, good ideas!</p> <p>We are supposed to get a packet of info in the next week outlining all the activities they have planned for us. A few things will be business related (awards banquet, etc.) but I'm excited to see what else is in store (and free!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-vegas-1#post-1404938 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 18:54:51 +0000 pinkcupcake 1404938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fuuuun! I love Vegas! Even if you don't gamble/drink, there's tons to do- lots of awesome food (all the buffets), shows, lying by the pool, and just checking out all the hotels! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-vegas-1#post-1404890 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 18:43:02 +0000 HabesBabe 1404890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Take a hike in Red Rock, eat eat eat, see a Cirque show (I've always wanted to see Zumanity), and enjoy the pool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-vegas-1#post-1404861 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 18:37:18 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1404861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree that a week is a LOT for Vegas, so definitely take it slow! There is tons of good food all around, and the hotels are fun to look at. I like starting at one end of the strip and wandering in and out of hotels to check out the sites until I'm tired. There is a monorail for at least some of the strip now too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-vegas-1#post-1404776 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 18:17:27 +0000 Costello 1404776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: If you are up for venturing off of the strip, The Neon Museum and The Mob Museum are notable. Also, as a Nevada resident and frequent Vegas visitor, no trip is complete without dropping by the soda fountain on the second floor of the Coke store and a stop at Serendipity 3 for some frozen hot chocolate. The weather should be great for your trip! :0) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-vegas-1#post-1404699 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 17:42:43 +0000 MamaG 1404699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been twice (for our wedding and first anniversary) and never went to the Grand Canyon, it's further than you think and the helicopter tours were really expensive.</p> <p>If you will have a car, I recommend heading to Red Rock Canyon and Hoover Dam for some good off the strip sightseeing.</p> <p>We've seen a couple of Cirque shows and enjoyed. We also enjoyed Terry Fator. Make sure to bring comfy shoes for walking. Everything on the strip is further than you would think or it looks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-vegas-1#post-1404680 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 17:33:16 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1404680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMcD: Hahah maybe it is a California girl weekend trip thing -- granted I've only gone for spring break (law school) and bachelorette parties so no wonder it tends to get wildly out of hand! :silly: Now that I'm 30 I have committed to a strict one night only rule for Vegas -- first night is always fun, 2nd (or 3rd) night is when it starts to get ugly...</p> <p>@cmomma17: And I would totally go see the Britney show if I were you. I've been wanting to take a trip out there just to see it :-) And my friend lives out there and she goes to the most amazing concerts so I'd check and see who is playing when you are there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-vegas-1#post-1404618 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 17:06:28 +0000 deactivated_account 1404618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NorCalWayfarer: I'm so glad I'm not the only who feels that way about Vegas! Maybe its a California girl thing. But I seriously usually lose my wallet or a shoe after 36 hours. Have you ever done the whole, "Let's stay one more night!" and then all hell breaks loose? But its all nothing that a spa day can't fix! </p> <p>@cmomma17: That is awesome your work is putting you in the Cosmo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-vegas-1#post-1404557 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 16:50:32 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1404557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man a week in Vegas sounds horrific -- but that's probably because I drink and gamble and usually get into trouble after about 36 hours in Vegas ;-) But if I weren't drinking or gambling I'd totally take advantage of all the fabulous restaurants and shows there! And definitely lounging by the pool or doing a spa day (hubby can always golf too). </p> <p>Oh and I've heard the Cosmopolitan Hotel is fabulous, so that's a great start for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-vegas-1#post-1404538 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 16:46:03 +0000 cmomma17 1404538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMcD: I LOL'd at your first two sentences. I think we are staying in the Cosmopolitan hotel! That's the only detail I know so far. I would take ANY pool! I haven't laid by a pool in YEARS! Golf is a good idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-vegas-1#post-1404534 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 16:44:30 +0000 cmomma17 1404534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: Barry Manilow!!!! awesome :) I am really down for ANYTHING! We have NEVER taken a trip together that wasn't with or to visit family. We never even had a honeymoon! And even if we did want to travel we wouldn't be able to afford it! So the thought of going on a trip like this is crazy and amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-vegas-1#post-1404529 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 16:43:58 +0000 deactivated_account 1404529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A week in Vegas is a long time. Nothing good usually happens after three days. But actually... if you aren't drinking or gambling you should be in the clear. Lay by the most amazing pool you can get into. The Four Seasons is my favorite non-gaming hotel. The Cosmo Hotel Chandelier Bar is so cool. At least go for a Shirley Temple. Splurge on a meal at Nobu. The seabass with miso will nearly cause your body to melt. Have your husband play a round or four of golf. And get out of the city for a bit, if you can. Have fun, lady! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-vegas-1#post-1404507 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 16:38:48 +0000 Happygal 1404507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: I can't remember the exact names, but we saw La Reve (awesome), the Lion King (would skip), Elvis (fun), Jersey Boys (great), and. . . the best. . . Barry Manilow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-vegas-1#post-1404495 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 16:34:30 +0000 cmomma17 1404495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: cirque is high on my list! ooh grand canyon!!! swimming pool? uh oh, must begin working out now! lol</p> <p>@happygal: FOOOD!!! :heart: </p> <p>DH wants to renew our vows .... with Elvis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-vegas-1#post-1404492 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 16:33:14 +0000 cmomma17 1404492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: ohmygosh, really??? too funny! :) :heart: We are going April 28- May 2. DH will get a packet with the planned activities soon. There will be a bunch of other work people and spouses from other regions. If we are there at the same time we must meet up! For a non-drink! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-vegas-1#post-1404484 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 16:30:35 +0000 Happygal 1404484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jealous! We saw lots of shows and ate so much good food. My favorite was a sushi place where we got to sit outside and watch the water show.</p> <p>We don't drink or gamble either! </p> <p>Did you see @mamamoose is planning a trip right now, too? </p>
