What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas … but it doesn’t have to! Why keep all the fun of your Las Vegas vacation a secret? This is a city full of exciting things to do, see and share!

Travelling to Las Vegas, Nevada is a real experience. Whether you are planning a weekend getaway for two; a family trip or a quick business visit, Las Vegas truly is the place to head for both fun and excitement.

Of course there are a few things to consider when planning your next trip to the desert:

Getting There: Depending on where you are travelling from and how much money you have to spend there are several ways to get into Vegas: by plane, train, bus and car.

Finding a Hotel: Hotels on the strip can be quite pricey, although they often do offer a unique lodging experience. If you are looking for a nice place to stay without the high price tag, consider finding a hotel off the main strip. They are often cheaper (and quieter).

Planning Your Itinerary: No matter how much time you have for your visit, the odds are you will not be able to do even half of what you would like while in Vegas. Be sure to make a list of all must-do activities and sightseeing adventures and tackle those items first. Also, make reservations for important activities and popular restaurants well in advance of your trip. And don’t forget to check out the casino promos as well.

Having Fun: With so much to do and see in Las Vegas it can be difficult to know what to try first. Of course the casinos are chockfull of interesting fun of their own. But for a more family-friendly vacation, consider checking out some of these popular sights:

• The Bellagio Fountain Show
• The Las Vegas Motor Speedway
• Springs Preserve
• Lied Discovery Museum
• Nevada Test Site Historic Center
• The Hartland Museum
• Mount Charleston
• Red Rock Canyon National Park

Staying Safe: Like any big city, Las Vegas can offer some unique safety hazards to be aware of. Here are a few things to consider while visiting:

• pickpockets are common on the streets so be careful when walking downtown (especially around crowds of people)
• always use the deadbolt in your hotel room
• the weather in Vegas can be very dry, so be sure to drink lots of water to stay hydrated
• carry a photo ID at all times
• ignore smut peddlers

Full of great places to eat, drink and party, Las Vegas can be a great place to kick back, let loose and enjoy some real adult fun. But, it is more than sin-city. Las Vegas is also a great place for families, catering to all sorts of demographic groups with this eclectic blend of casino fun and historic and stylish arts and museums.
