Las Vegas - Trip Planning Resources

It will be "cool" but for us it will be warm, consider hiking and horseback riding.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


OK here is the scoop, we are going to book for Jan 9 to Jan 12, 3 nights.    We are pulling the trigger to get the ball rolling.

Paris is selected, it is cool by itself, and in a great location, fairly cheap, free parking, possibly a view of the Bellagio Fountain show which is above world class.


$259 per person, double occupancy, Include airfare, and 3 nights stay (we went last January and it was really the deal, not a scam)

They do charge for internet wifi $15 per night – but then that might be included in the Resort Fee, see below
Free wifi in some public areas
Free parking

Resort fee 35.84 per night per room [not per person] (includes internet access—how does that work?, Fitness center, phone calls)

Scroll all the way down for some pictures.

I have a friend in Vegas, who will take us hiking to Red Rock Canyon which is near his house and they used to do a lot of hiking.    Its 30 minutes from the Strip, so car or car pooling will be necessary.   We will have a car

Hiking on the 11th, the second full day.   Time TBD

We can also set a few other “activities” getting a bunch of people all moving and organized is like herding cats, so my thought is to set a time and place to meet, for say a dinner at all you can eat Sushi, meet at Paris lobby at 6:30 PM  on Tuesday the 10th if you want to go.   We did 2 Sushi all you can eats for around $25 each, and they were very good/excellent quality. 

We could also do the High Roller massive Ferris wheel, or Effel tower.    Or a Circ show.   The best deals are had by going to one of the many “ticket liquidators” that sell out non sold out shows for cheap, that day.  Again, not a scam, a real deal.

Or an off road guided Jeep tour – I have emailed them to enquire about price – 4 different tour areas, around 4.5 hours for the Red Rock tour

Also this “Valley of Fire” park comes highly recommended, about 45 minutes from Vegas.  Looks like a $10 fee, not sure





Also, on our schedule, Dim Sum lunch at a great restaurant, KJ Dim Sum & Seafood (at the Rio), Tuesday, 11:00 AM, meet at Paris Lobby at 11:00AM


You could even do a 1 hour horseback ride through Red Rock Canyon, includes transportation, $120




Here is a collage of Red Rock Canyon pictures, its pretty amazingly good.
