ME Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Mrs ME and I have got 5 days booked in Vegas at the end of January. Mrs ME is going on a helicopter ride over the "hole in the ground" and I am going to the gun range on one of the days. What other stuff is good to see or do - outside of spending the kids inheritance in the casinos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budice Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Do the rides at the top of the Stratosphere, specially the one that is on a beam and slides you out over the edge, AWESOME and a great view of Vegas as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OddJob Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 (edited) http://www.thegunstorelasvegas.com/ You won't have the time/money for anything else! I virtually had vibration white finger by the time i came home! Mark I'd second that. I walked in and presented a leaflet about firing machine guns. The bloke smiled at me, pointed at a wall and said 'you're in vegas now boy, which machine gun do you want?' Also, watch out for the many 'all you can eat' buffets that are in the casinos. Grab a guide book to make the most of it. Edited December 19, 2010 by OddJob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_R Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 (edited) Don't forget It'll be colder than a lot of people realise. I am there most Januaries, though not the latter part of the month. I have seen snow down at street level, though it did not settle for long. It is very easy to check the weather forecast in advance online. As for what to do, there is a lot more than just the obvious, so other than shooting and going on that helicopter ride, what kind of things do you like doing? There is hiking and rock climbing only 21 miles out at Red Rocks, the Hoover Dam is worth a look including the tour down inside the turbines etc., in fact loads of stuff to do. I have been there something like 14 times now, and seldom get bored despite never once gambing a cent.

paul hart Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 I will be there in febuary for the shot show, believe me its not that hot take a warm coat,the grand canyon is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Grand Canyon is a big hole in the ground and a waste of a day. Get yourself down to fatburgers and dig in. Go and hire a daft car and drive to the Hoover Dam; that's a bloke's bit of engineering right there. And the usual gun club, strippers, booze and gambling.

unclemicky Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Have a look in the BASS PRO SHOP it's next to the Silverton hotel , I say shop its more like a hypermarket of sports equipment , guns guns and more guns , everthing shooting related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosd Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 For a fancy meal with the wife the SW Steak house in he Wynn and or The Olive overlooking the fountains at the Belagio. Horse riding with cowboys was good if you want to get out in the desert A visit to the old town Freemont Street Breakfast at the Belagio The show "O" is absolutely amazing Heli ride to the Grand Canyon Shopping at the outlet stores is a short cab ride away and well worth it. Boots from the Timberland shop are cheap! So much to do out there mate, it isn't just about Casino's that's for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
