Hellobee Boards

Thanks for the tips! I've never been anywhere like it so I have no idea what we're going to want to do! I'm not a big gambler, and neither is DH but we will set aside some money to gamble.

The Canadian dollar is really bad so I doubt we'll do much shopping either.

I'm going to make note of all your suggestions! Thank you!

@Jennibenni: I think my favourite things were the shows! I ended up getting us a great deal on flights/hotel - I had been checking prices daily and snatched it up when it was cheaper so we decided to splurge and see a show every night.

The first night, I took @erinbaderin 's suggestion and we saw Jubilee. We both loved it! It definitely was exactly what I pictured Vegas to be like. The costumes were amazing - the headdresses they wear are gorgeous. We bought the ticket prices at the discount booths they have along the strip - The price was cheaper than anything I'd found online.

We saw the Beatles Love - I bought tickets online. They had a deal, buy one ticket get one for $15. This show was amazing. If you like the Beatles, I would definitely recommend it.

And we saw David Copperfield. We wanted to see a magic act. He was good! Very entertaining and he had some really good tricks. Again, I bought tickets at the discount booths because they were cheaper than what I saw online.

Other than the shows, we basically just walked around looking at the different hotels. We did a tiny bit of gambling, but not very much.

We found that drinks were expensive - like when we were walking during the day and just wanted water, it was tough to find somewhere to get something cheap. Occasionally we'd find someone selling bottled water on the strip for a $1 but even that wasn't often (might have been the time of year we were there). There were no water fountains - I think we found one during the entire time we were there. Starbucks charged for a cup of tap water (I think they said it was $1.00 for the cup). We found the best, cheapest option was to go to McDonalds and order a regular drink, sit for a bit and make sure to refill the cup before we left.

One thing I wish we'd done is the dueling pianos. We were just too exhausted after the shows to go (we are not night owl partiers!) but I've heard really good things about them!
