1st vacation to Las Vegas in summer?

Question

My friends and I, three of us, all 21 years old are planning to go to Vegas end of July. None of us have ever been there. I would like any advice from anyone that's ever been there or known anyone (and heard their stories) on what to do, where to stay, places that are must-see, etc. I want to make the most of this, and for it to be amazing...

Answer 1

There are some great room rates from July 15-18 and again from the 22nd to the 27th if you do some checking around

these are the two best, for LV room rates
http://www.travelworm.com >usually the best
http://www.i4vegas.com

for LV info
http://www.lasvegasadvisor.com >use this site to link to any hotel in LV you want to check rates for..>also lists of all free hotel shuttles > up to date info on Buffets, Shows, etc >A full list of all the free spectacles in LV >great gambling info including a list of all no limit Texas Hold'em tournaments and their buy-ins

Paris is an incredible four star hotel in a great location, they have $99 rates for the 15th-18th

Flamingo has $90 rates from the 22nd to the 27th >great location >great pool

Barbary Coast - has $70 rates - best location on the strip - but no pool.

the Luxor is in the south strip hotel cluster, and they have great rates sometimes.

To get the best rates avoid weekends, special events and large conventions.

If you're looking for a nice hotel on the strip that's a real bargain, try the Stratosphere. It's location at the far north end of the strip makes it unpopular, which makes it all the better for us bargain hunters. You can often stay there for $40-$50 during the week. The Stratosphere is NOT old, dumpy, cheap, run down and any of the other garbage that gets spewed about the place. It's a very nice 3 star hotel, that opened in April of 1996, The Stratosphere is not the old "Vegas World" hotel that used to set in the same spot..They have an "adult" pool and there are some great rides on top of their 1,000 ft tower, X Scream, High Roller, Big Shot and Insanity.

Answer 2

it will be about 120 degrees out, you should come in april or oct. but other than that, what do you want to know, i live here, if you like to just see the wild hotels you can find something in every one of the ones on the strip and near it, to entertain you, if you want shows, if you have lots of money you want to see zoomanity, if not and you want old las vegas style you should see the follies bergere, if you are here on week days your hotels down town are a real bargain, weekends are more than twice as much but if you stay a whole week your entire stay should only be 100 bucks a day for the hotel for the three of you, I love the Luxor if you like ancient egypt you will want to see it, I stayed at the Stratosphere the first time i came out, and it is reasonably priced for a big place, there are shark reefs in one hotel, a dolphin show , the white tigers in another, ceasars has a fish reef and talking statues, the venetian has canals inside on about the third floor and they have gondolas in them, there are lots of places to shop, designer shops, very expensive, but fun to look at.new york new york has a roller coaster, circus circus has an indoor ammusement park, there are gentlemens clubs off the strip that might entertain you. gambling is about the same everywhere. If you wish to email me you can through this system and i can answer specific questions. oh, and nellis afb is here and thats the home of the thunderbirds. and you can take trips over the grand canyon in an airplane or to the hoover dam, but its hooooooooooooooootttt in the summer, be prepared. lots of swimming pools though. Sorry , Prostitution is not legal in las vegas, it is in parrump which is about 60 miles away.

Answer 3

howdy, welcome to Las Vegas! There are various motels which cater to households with toddlers, the three with the main suitable swimming pools for toddlers are the Mandalay Bay, the Excaliber, and the Circus Circus. of direction Circus Circus has a large entertainment park, it incredibly is airconditioned, and the pool there is large for toddlers. The Mandalay bay has the main suitable lazy river, and a large little ones pool, however the three 12 months previous could be too youthful to have fun with the wave pool, and of direction they do have the shark tank, a large aquarium. Downtown, the newly reworked "Golden Horseshoe" has a large water slide, yet no longer lots else in the youngster charm. maximum all of the different strip motels enable toddlers in the pool, yet might shrink them to specific cases. Gaming, procuring and dinning are Las Vegas top factors of interest, or maybe however you is probably no longer right here for the procuring, the sales in line with sq. foot of commercial area is larger right here than everywhere in the international, so on a similar time as there are some very extreme end shops, there are additionally some very reasonably fee venues, tremendously the "outlet" type procuring facilities, and you will possibly desire to discern on spend some time there, ans call manufacturers are bought for significant discount rates on a known foundation. The extreme temperature right here staggering now are in the a hundred and one to one hundred and five selection, and it cools off heavily at night. feels like relaxing, have a solid time.

Answer 4

bring lots of sun screen because its soooooooooooo hot here especially in july any hotel on the strip is nice but if you are renting a car and are visiting during the week (mon- thurs) you can stay at any of the station hotels for like $40 a night the water shows are amazing and the shark reef is fun for a few hours if you are going to the hard rock on a sunday try to get into rehab, the best pool party in the west

Answer 5

Check out all the free attractions along the strip

Bellagio Fountains
Mirage Volcano
Treasure Island "Sirens of TI"

Vegas is 98% walking (there is a monorail but I dont waste my money on it too much) and in summer its 100% hot.

Enjoy!! If I wasnt about to have a baby I would be there around that time also!!

Answer 6

Hey, I stayed at the Flamingo last year, LOVED IT! A few tips for ya, bring a pair of walking shoes! Don't fall for time share tours! and definitely stop at the Bilagio and watch the fountain show! Things we did? We saw Lance Burton, he was really cool! And did a Star Trek Encounters thing, was fun (more for my hubby tho) Rode the roller coaster that's at the top of an arcade, its expensive, but was really fun! Oh and you will get hundreds of cards for..umm.."private escorts" (I've heard its legal out there). Play the field on craps = ) Good Luck and have a great time!

Answer 7

I really like to stay at Excalibur its a very clean and resonable priced hotel, the way that vegas is building up around there it is almost in the middle. i would reccommend going to fremont street in downtown and see the show there called the fremont experience and other than that go and see the free shows that different hotels offer.

Answer 8

mermaids?! some jackass is telling you to go to mermaids?! it's a DUMP! please, don't waste the 20 seconds it takes to walk through this hole. vegas is so massive that it really depends on how many days you have. if you are 21, go to one or two clubs on ONE night since they are all pretty much the same. don't blow your time and money waiting in line and buying over priced drinks. the clubs are all the same, just different names in different hotels. and yes, you HAVE to go to a strip club and get a lap dance. not getting a lap dance is like not playing a slot machine. go to olympic garden or scores. those are the best.

Answer 9

Make sure that you go to Mermaids (downtown) good drinks and slots(play the Wheel of Fortune).
The strongest drinks in town!!!!!
