My First Trip

[queen of hearts]

I am so excited because in June I will be making my very first trip to Las Vegas with a few friends.

I am so looking forward to it. A couple of us, including me arent huge on gambling but we are making plans to do a variety of things.

We will all be spending two weeks there, which will give us alot of time to explore and try new things.

I imagine that we wont be seeing each other a great deal as we will each have our own ideas as to what we want to do, but we will meet up at least once a day for dinner.

As I have said I have never been to Las Vegas before, and I know that several of you have... What will the weather be like in June? I would like to know so I can pack the proper clothing for the trip.

Also if anyone has any suggestions as to what would be some good places to visit, eat, stay and so on I sure would appreciate it. I am doing a bit of research online as to what I would like to do, but there is just to much to fit into just a two week trip.

Thanks everyone.

Congratulations on getting to go! You are going to have a blast I am sure!

I have never been to Las Vegas but I have heard that it is hot that time of year (really hot) during the day but that it does cool during the night so maybe pack light clothes for the day and some sweaters for the evening I would say.

As far as some of the things you can do I don't know what your tastes are but here are some of the things I would like to do out there. I would definitely visit the Vegas zoo, red Rock Climbing Center, I would like to go nature hiking, see the wax museum, watch the fountain shows and check out the Eiffel Tower. Oh and for sure I would visit the history museums because that would really pique my interest.

I hope you have a great time!

You are going to love it!! It will be hot and very dry, so take plenty of lotion with you. I am sure you can look on this site, essp in the sightseeing section and find plenty of things to do for free and some that you pay. Enjoy your trip and be sure to let us know how it went.

I am so happy you get to go in June with your friends to Vegas!!! Even if you don't gamble a penny, there is so many nice things to see and do there. I have never been there either but, through this site, I am amazed at all the talant that is in Vegas!

And free stuff to do are not in short supply either. Just looking at the theme in casinos would be a blast for me.

It's really hard to walk through a casino with nothing else on your mind than throwing a few dollars in a machine that catches you eye.

Most of the hotels have you walk through their casino to get to your hotel room, so don't think you won't be spending a few dollars at the slots.

I'm pretty good at being frugal with my money, but I always end up at the slots having a bit fun with them.
And of course I like to play a few hands of blackjack and hold'em poker at the table games.

Sightseeing can take up much of your time. You can spend a better part of the day just walking up the strip and then back again.

Take your camera and plenty of batteries. Bring your laptop if you can or an extra camera memory card. Don't forget the rest of your necessities for the trip.

Oh, when you check in and get to your room, call room service and have them put a "humidifier" and small "refrigerator" in your room.
If you're not there when they put them into your room, be sure to leave them a tip with a thank you note beside it in plain sight.

Keep your personal things in a safe place. I usually keep what I don't want disturbed in my suitcase, zip it and lock it if you can.

I haven't had anything stolen while in Vegas, but there's always a first time.
The hotels keep a close lookout on their house cleaning personal, so if they ever steal something, they would loose their job and be reported as well.

Check the Las Vegas weather online before you leave, this way you will know how to dress.

The most important thing, is to have fun!

Thanks everyone for the great tips reguarding my first trip.



Chipsahoy I would adopt you but the paper work would take much longer than just two months to go through, ROFL. Maybe next year, HA-HA.
