What do you think of these Las Vegas trip plans, all answers and opinions appreciated


What do you think of these Las Vegas trip plans, all answers and opinions appreciated!?
Ok so I wan't to see all that Vegas has to offer and break up the trip in between. I will be ariving in Vegas and staying on the strip at bills gamblin hall and saloon for 4 nights. Then we will be going to Los Angeles for 3 nights to see universal studios and a hockey game at the staples center as well as hang out on Santa Monaco beach. After that we will be going back to Vegas for 2 more nights staying at the golden nugget downtown. What do you think of thes plans? Is it a good way to organize our trip? many people say to do Vegas last but It wouldn't work for us do to the hockey game. THANKS for reading:-) If you don't care then don't answer fatty I guess all of these fat and ugly people who are being extreamly rude are also poor and jelous lol. So sorry you have such a sad life. Thanks Aubrey, best A so far:-) So many great answers. Thanks for the feedback all! Going to have to let this one go to a vote:-)

That sounds like a good plan to me. Just so you know, it does take several hours to drive to LA from Vegas, but other then that, you will have one busy week with lots to do.

those are great! staying uptown on the corner of Flamingo-Las vegas blvd. for 4 days. Then the downtown thing is cool. That's just my opinion, I've only lived here for 41 years! Have fun.

Why is everyone being so mean? If you don't have an answer, then don't say anything. Anyway... That sounds like a great plan. It will give you a chance to experience both the strip and downtown. It is also smart to stay downtown during the shorter duration of the trip because there isn't quite as much to do as on the strip. Since you are staying on the Flamingo corner, you will have easy walking access to anything you want to see. Also, if when you are staying downtown, you decide there was something you want to do on the strip, all you have to do is hop on the bus and ride it to any hotel you want to stop at. Have Fun, I love Vegas!

The plan is a good one. And it really doesn't matter if you fly or drive. I would drive myself as it probably won't take any longer than flying with airport time and all. That way you'll have a car in LA and it's a necessary thing in la-la land. And cars do have airconditioning these days. Just be sure to take a jug of water with you in case of an emergency and stop at Baker for lunch and see the tallest thermometer in the world. And have strawberry shortcake too. Have fun. Don't tire yourself out and be sure to plan some relaxing time poolside too.

I just went to Vegas about 3 weeks ago, and stayed at Caesars right across from Bills, I actually did most of my Gambling at Bills because it has lower limits, very fun casino, much friendly atmosphere as opposed to the "upscale professional gambler" atmosphere of the more expensive hotel. It also has Prime location on the strip. Right acrross the street from the Bellagio and the awsome water fountain show. Remember nearly everything in Vegas is very expensive so you might regret staying for so many nights, but if you have the cash and play accordingly you should have a great time.

Sounds like a great plan. Well thought out and you should have the time of your life. You are packing a lot into a short time but well worth it. It is true that breaking up the Las Vegas experience is not the best way because of the five hour drive to and then five hours back which means you actually loose a day traveling. But you got to do it the best way for you. Come and have fun ... be careful with gambling .. can get the best of lot of people. Actually looking at what you planned is like three vacations in one. WOW !!!!!!! Good job.

If you are driving to LA, you lose a day each way, and fly just means more airport time. But otherwise sounds like a good plan if you cannot spend the whole time in Vegas before or after you go to LA.

I have done that same type trip, stayed in Vegas a night or two and then went to California and stayed a night so we could go to Tijuana and San Diego. Then came back to Vegas and stayed in a different hotel. The only problem I have with your trip is the hotels you are staying in. BUT, if you are on a budget those are OK. Bills Gambling hall is right in the middle of the Strip so you can go see about everything from there. And if you are staying on Fremont St for a night or two you'll get to see the Fremont Experience light show. Its been many many years since I stayed on Fremont and I would never stay there these days since I think the Strip has better hotels. But I still go to Fremont every trip to Vegas to gamble because your money goes further there.

Sounds like a good plan. Looks like most everything has been answered in the previous responses. I might suggest hanging out at Venice Beach as opposed to Santa Monica. Really a sight to behold. When at the Nugget downtown, don't forget to step outside the front door for the Fremont Street experience. It changes every hour.

sounds great i love vegas have been 9 times, not sure i would stay down town too long, not that much to see and do down there but as its only a few dollars on the bus should be fine. i would stay away from santa monaco beach, its the hang out for all the homeless people and very intimidating for tourists, the town is amazing to shop and sight see, keep your eyes peeled for stars, jude law was walking next to me when we were there. enjoy your trip

I do think you are packing a ton of stuff into this trip, so take some time for down time! I have stayed in Vegas many, many times and though the strip is fun...the walking time between hotels is enormous so I think that downtown time will give you more time to see stuff. I hope you aren't taking children with you...they just don't have much fun in Vegas...they can swim and go to movies in the casinos, but other than that, it's not a great vacation spot for kids! Just a tip, if someone asks you to sign up for a time share (they are everywhere) tell them you already have an appointment, they back off fast! Also, wear tennis shoes during the day, otherwise you will be so sore after the first day of walking you won't have a good time...no sandals or flip flops!!!!

Sounds like fun, good work staying on the Strip and Downtown. Check out this site for ideas on things to do while you are there: http://www.askacabbie.com If you want to see all that is Vegas, the cab drivers on there can help you out. They usually have free passes and drink tickets to bars and clubs.
