Las Vegas! An Adult Disney World
If you're planning a trip to Las Vegas in the near future there are a few basic things you should know. One of the most important things to bring to Vegas are good walking shoes. You will probably be spending a lot of time on your feet and will need shoes that can handle standing in lines and walking, walking walking.
Vegas weather is fairly predictable. You are likely to experience rather cool nights, particularly during the months between October and April so bring some warm clothes. Be prepared for lots of sun and pack sunscreen in order to protect your skin.
The times around the holidays are often the busiest times in Vegas so if you want to avoid higher prices and larger crowds you should avoid booking during these times. And if those are the times you absolutely have to stay and play in Vegas you should make plans and book well ahead of time to make sure you have your first choice in accommodations.
Remember Vegas is a town in the middle of the desert and you will need to drink plenty of water and moisturize more than you might be accustomed to. This is a much drier climate than many people experience in their day-to-day lives and the heat and dryness can sneak up on you for a double whammy if you aren't prepared. Bring chap stick and put it on as soon as you get there or the next day you'll feel like your lips fell off. They will feel that dry. Drink water even if you're not thirsty.
If you're a golfer, you've found heaven and should come prepared. Bring your clubs with you and be prepared to play a few rounds. Bring some of dress clothes too as you might want to take in a show or two..
While Vegas is famous for big spenders, it is quite possible to spend thriftily and have a nice vacation for two at around $100 per day. Although high rollers can drop thousands on one meal very easily. Check out all your options as there are plenty for those on a limited budget.
If you're planning moving around the area away from your hotel or resort, it's a good idea if you plan to rent a car or drive your own. The distances here can be quite deceiving and you can easily lose track of time while enjoying yourself inside the many casinos.
Lots of people come to Las Vegas with wedding plans. Some come just to be married by Elvis. If you are hoping to get married Vegas style you have a lot of choices. More than 122,000 couples apply for marriage licenses in Vegas each year. A marriage license in Vegas is around $55 (this is the current rate, keep in mind that this rate is subject to change) and then there are the fees involved for the chapel you use, the services offered, etc. You can choose to go as informal and small or as bold and lavish as you can afford.
Vegas is an adult Disney World and whether you are planning marriage, a golf smorgasbord, a slot or card marathon, take in shows, or just to spend time with the family hanging out around the pool, your Vegas vacation is what you make it. Remember, "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas". Let you hair down, have a great time and enjoy your stay until reality sets in and you have to board the flight home.
