Is this a good B-day Present?

Is this a good B-day Present?

okay i'm a chick and my best guy friends b-day is coming up soon. How we met is we were assigned to be partners together in a class we had and we had to make this story about what we would do if we could visit 5 major city's in 5 days.The class was so dumb, we were the last class required to take it for credits. It's called Life management.



we were gonna go to las vegas and get drunk and i was gonna take him to a strip joint then jump in a fountain together at night or go to new york and sleep under the stars in central park. We'll probably never aford the full trip but we like to say that someday we'll go.



well for his birthday I was going to make 2 Cd's. 1 is going to be our favorite songs put together with print on the CD and rode map of the US saying "The soundtrack for Las Vegas." and the other CD is going to be all of our friends saying good things about him and wishing him a Happy B-day,including his sister and parents as a surprise. On the CD it will just say,"surprise and to put it in his computer."



Well any comments?Is this a good B-day Present?
aww that is so sweet!! i would be so happy if my best friend put that much time and thought into a gift for me. that is perfect and i think it's a great idea :) you're a great best friend!!Is this a good B-day Present?
Those two are very good gifts.

I really have no comment, but I will just say that it is very thoughtful of you to do that, I would have never thought to do something that amazing!

Bank of America Branch/ATM in Vegas Strip Please Help!?

I"m currently in las vegas now on the strip. HOwever, there is no branch or atm where i can get my money. I didn't brought enough money from home and thought i could just withdraw money at the branch/atm. I found one bank of america atm that i read online about the Forum Shop at Caesars Palace. However, that machine does not allow me to withdraw any cash.



Does anyone know where else i can go? Do i have to go off the strip? I have no car. CAn someone tell me what is the cheapest way i can get to a bank of america ranch/atm while riding a taxi? I want to walk to the closest place possible and then take the taxi from there to the bank of america branch.



I read there was a branch near tropicana but isn't that on the strip? I have a map of the strip. The thing is i want to withdraw at least $4000 so if i withdraw at atm, it will cost me a lot of money each time and i know there is a limit as well. Thus, i want to get to a branch and then withdraw everything i need at once and do this by taking a cab there. HOw much would the cab cost? I know i have to times it by 2 since i'm going back and forth.Bank of America Branch/ATM in Vegas Strip Please Help!?
I am taking your question as 'serious'...though you are asking it on a website, instead of calling the customer service number on the back of your card. Also, any hotel concierge/operator/bell staff...would send you to the nearest one they know of. Additionally, if you can take $4,000 out, you shouldn't be fussing over the cost of a cab to get to an ATM.



However...a 'serious' answer is:



1) If you are near MGM/Mandalay Bay area...you would go East (towards the airport and past its entrance) to Maryland Parkway...there's a full-service branch there...next to a McDonald's and UNLV.



2) If you are nearer to T.I. (formerly Treasure Island) or Venetian, etc...then you should go West on Spring Mountain (Into Vegas' version of Chinatown)...It's just a few lights past the strip there (diagonally across the street from the Chinatown Plaza and across the street from Play It Again Sam strip club).



3) Take a city bus to 'downtown' or 'Freemont Street' AREA...there is a major BofA branch at the corner of Bridger and 4th street. About a block from Freemont street. (It sits one block west of 'the strip' or Las Vegas Blvd...however you wish to refer to it.
Use the ATM location feature on the Bank Of America Website. Enter in your starting address and it will take you to the closest one.Bank of America Branch/ATM in Vegas Strip Please Help!?
There is a Bank of America branch 3 blocks West of the Orleans.



The Orleans has a free shuttle to/from the strip, you catch it at Bill's Gamblin Hall



Then walk the three blocks from the Orleans to BOA.



Round trip cost - freeBank of America Branch/ATM in Vegas Strip Please Help!?
Best to see cashier at the casino. CAll the phone number on back of the card. SHould be one to help you locate a ATM near you.
Maybe its just me, but I dunno if withdrawing that much at one time is a good idea - or even possible!.



The other thing that raises a flag in my mind is how you could misjudge your spending money by $4000!!



You should use your BoA debit card to pay for most items in Vegas. If you are pulling the money out to gamble - not a good idea, especially in light of the fact that you already stated that you didn't bring enough money

He no longer wants a barney doll though.



well for his birthday I was going to make a CD case with barney on it with small text saying, "I told you I would give you what you always wanted, lol" and in the CD case would be 2 Cd's. 1 is going to be our favorite songs put together with print on the CD and rode map of the US saying "The soundtrack for Las Vegas." and the other CD is going to be all of our friends saying good things about him and wishing him a Happy B-day,including his sister and parents as a surprise.

Well any coments?Is this a good B-day Present?
That sounds like a very nice gift. It is the little things that mean the most. I remember when I was young and would ask my mom what she wanted for Christmas she would always say "a new car full of spending money" so after about the fourth year I went and brought her a hot wheels car and put money in it. Just a few dollars and some change. She loved it. She laughed so hard. She even took it to work and showed her co-workers and customers. She worked as a waitress at the time. I did get her something else, but it was the "new car full of spending money" that she told everyone about.



By giving him what you plan on, it will show him you listened to what he was saying and you took the time to remember.Is this a good B-day Present?

Questions about Ballys and bellagio?

Hi we are going to Las vegas here soon! We were going to stay at Ballys but might change our mind, what are the hotels right in the vicinity of Ballys and Bellagio... I am not familiar with that area of the strip what are all the hotels ... is there a map of the strip anywhere online that shows where the hotels are so I can see where the hotels are? if not, what are the good central ones by Ballys and Bellagio?Questions about Ballys and bellagio?
Here is a map of the strip and downtown. Flamingo, Harrahs and Imperial Palace are running deals all the time now. Keep Imperial Palace as the last choice in that central area.
Right there you are pretty much in the center of the strip. You are near Cesar's Palace, The Mirage, The Flamingo, Planet Hollywood and so on.Questions about Ballys and bellagio?
OK here are the hotels by the four corners that make up the four miles of the famous Strip



Tropicana, Excalibur, Luxor, Mandalay Bay, MGM Grand, NYNY, Monte Carlo



along the way Planet Hollywood



Bellagio, Ballys, Caesars Palace, Bills, Flamingo, Paris



Wynn, Encore, Venetiain, Palazzo, Fashion Show Mall



Sahara Hotel with walk to Circus Circus, Riveria and StratosphereQuestions about Ballys and bellagio?
Paris, Planet Hollywood, and Caesars Palace, these hotels are all on the center of the strip.
As you face Bally's, to your right will be Paris and Planet Hollywood. Directly across the Strip will be Bellagio. Map below.



*
Cheapovegas.com has the best map of the strip with one quick honest review of each hotel. If you stay at Bally's ask for the front tower for great views of Paris, Bellagio fountains, and a few others. It's not as updated as the back tower but the view makes up for it!



Also Bally's is connected to Paris on the inside which means you get way more eating, gambling, and entertainment options very close to your room! It may not sound like a big deal now BUT when you get there you will appreciate it!



Close hotels to Bally's are ~Paris, Bill's Flamingo, Bellagio



and



Bellagio's closest hotels are ~ Caesar's Palace, Monte Carlo(kind of), Bally's, and Bill's.



Bally's casino is easier to navigate and has slightly easier access to other sister properties. Plus Bally's is a monorail stop!
Have stayed in ballys and to be honest there are allot more hotels near bye with much better atmosphere,flamingo,caesars and mirage are just sum of the many great hotels near bye





have a great time
Hotels around the area you were describing would be Caesars Palace, Imperial Palace, The Flamingo, Venitian, and Palazzo. There are some more, but these are pretty much right around the Bellagio and Ballys. If you are looking for a hotel just to sleep and shower in go with the Imerial Palace. It's cheap and has a great location. The rooms are just like your regular hotel room, but they are clean. If you are looking for luxury go Caesars. Caesars is personally my absolute favorite hotel. There is a great pool, spas, and the Forum Shoppes, which you will have to check out reguardless if you stay there or not. The location is great and the hotel itself is breath taking, it's absolutely gorgeous! It's a little more money, but worth it. I haven't stayed there before, but I have been in the hotel numerous of times.

What zip codes in vegas area are nice to move to?

I am looking to move to Las Vegas. I have found some very nice homes but do not know if they are in nice areas. some area codes that i have found range from Henderson to North Las Vegas. Some of the area codes in Las Vegas are 89134, 89139, 89148 and 89143. In Henderson 89052 and 89012. please help me.... what is the best area codes? they all are a good 10+ miles from the strip and the area looks nice just based off of the homes. here is the link to an area code map.



http://www.lasvegasrealestatebythesalters.com/Zip%20Code%20Map.jpg



Once again, thanks for all of the help.What zip codes in vegas area are nice to move to?
89149 (Centennial Hills) is where it's at, newer area. All new shops and restaurants, and a brand new Hospital. Close to the freeway both 95 and the 215, the traffic up here isn't crazy unlike most other parts. New schools (if you have kids) we have everything up this way, that we need. With out it being busy and hectic. Stay clear of North Vegas (i'm north/west) great view up here of the whole strip/valley and close to the mountains.



89128 is also a nice area ( around Buffalo and Durango) also north/west.



89131 or 89129, 89144 and 89147 are good area's (nice and clean).

89134 and 89143 also good nice place to live (part of town)



Both 89139 %26amp; 89148 are newer area's but both, are busy and seen a little far off (nothing seems close, store places to eat). The tarffic is always so heavy in and around that part of town.What zip codes in vegas area are nice to move to?
Henderson by freeway is 30 minutes away from Vegas and that is a very busy freeway. The best parts of Henderson are in the Green Valley Development but there are great homes everywhere. You don't want to buy sight unseen because Henderson has a history of putting very nice by very ikkyWhat zip codes in vegas area are nice to move to?

    We are stayin at the Flamingo and have no problem using the duce bus or the monorail so here is my ? . One evening we are planning on starting the night at Fix Lounge for the sunset and I understand there is a public overpass walkway to get to the cezars palace so as to be on the right side of the street to catch the bus down to the Mandalay Bay, but how do we catch the bus to come back the other way as there are no pedestrian walk ways or stops for about half a mile going the other way on the other side of the street as we will be going to the Harrah's from there. After that we will take the monorail back to the paris as I do not see a pedestrian cross walk anywhere around Harrahs. Is there a map of the pedestrin walkways? How does one get across Las Vegas Blvd without walking up the entire block? Also, is it true that it takes 45 min to take the Duce from Freemont St to mid strip? Thanks for any tips. Would we be better off on the MB night to take a cab to Harrahs w/b dressesGetting around Vegas cheap?
    Information on all of the public transportation in Las Vegas, including all of the free hotel shuttles.

    http://www.lasvegasadvisor.com/transport鈥?/a>



    You can catch the Deuce across from both Mandalay Bay or Luxor, it's just as easy though to take the monorail from MB down to Excalibur then walk the pedestrian bridge over to the MGM and catch the bus their.



    This is a map of the Monorail, and the LV strip, but if you look closely you can see the pedestrian bridges over the strip(they are grey)

    http://www.vegastodayandtomorrow.com/mon鈥?/a>



    From Harrah's to Paris is not that far to walk and there is a pedestrian bridge over Flamingo Rd. It runs from Bill's Gamblin Hall over to Bally's.



    The Deuce probably takes around 25-30 minutes, depending on traffic, to get from Fremont St to Harrah's. It only takes the bus 45 minutes from McCarran airport to downtown.

    I like riding the Deuce. I didn't think I would but it really isn't bad at all. A 24 hr pass can be had for cheap, like $5. You can take the free tram up to the Excalibur, then walk across and make your way over to the MGM Grand. The Deuce can be caught right in front the MGM Grand.

    Difference between Rainbow Six: Vegas for PS3/360 or PSP?

    I am thinking on buying it for my PSP. and i have seen previews and gameplay for PS3 and it looks great. I know there is a difference in graphics but how about maps, missions, features, arcade mode, multiplayer, and especially scenarios.

    Oh yea and if you can, can you please tell me the places in Las Vegas it shows like the casinos, what parts of the strip, and other fantastic places in Vegas



    I know long question

    And thank you so muchDifference between Rainbow Six: Vegas for PS3/360 or PSP?
    If I were you I would get the 360 version, I bought the PS3 version and exchanged it for the 360 version. There's no difference in maps or any other feature, but there is a HUGE difference in online play. There are way more people playing the game on XBL and the connections are way better. Plus I prefer FPS with the 360 controller. Also, another huge difference is the framerate in the PS3, it is slow, it might be a tad bit better looking, but it runs slower than the 360 version. If there are alot of explosions going on, the game will start to slow down. Even sound effects on the PS3 version don't register, like if I were to fire off some rounds with a sub machine gun, parts of the time, the gun won't make any noise. As for places in the game, you are totally away from the strip, no big name places/hotels/casinos that were in the first game. I don't even recall ever seeing the Las Vegas strip in the game at all.

    RTC - Las Vegas - Where to buy passes?

    I've been on their website for 20 minutes, trying to figure out where I can buy a 3 day pass. Everything I've clicked on (through their map) shows either 5 day pass, or 30 day pass. Could anyone tell me where I could get a 3 day pass on the strip? It says you cant purchase one on the bus - but you could purchase a 24 hr pass. Anyone able to tell me if I can use a "Residential Pass" instead of a "Premium Pass" on the strip? Sooo confusing....RTC - Las Vegas - Where to buy passes?
    Yes, you can buy a 3-Day Full Fare All Access Pass on the strip for $15.00. This is a new pass that was introduced this year. Here are places you can buy passes 1) Downtown Transportation Center 2) South Strip Transfer Terminal, 3) All the RTC vendor locations throughout Las Vegas 4) Most Albertsons grocery stores.

    http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/cat.phpRTC - Las Vegas - Where to buy passes?
    You don't state if you are a resident or a visitor. If you are a resident you can use a residential pass on the Fold or Deuce line, which is the strip line, without paying extra like you did before. They are the most confusing bus system in the US. Don't feel alone. I am always fighting with them on information. It says you can only buy 3 day passes at the TVM ( ticket vending machines) located around town. I believe there are three on the strip. One if front of MGM and another in front of Circus Circus. Not sure where the third one is. Again, not convenient at all for most visitors.RTC - Las Vegas - Where to buy passes?
    they have the ticket machines at the busstop on the strip... you can get it there

    Ventetian Hotel Las Vegas?

    Is it at the end of the strip? the boring side? http://off2vegas.com/map.html



    shows that is way off at the end



    IS this hotel to fancy and boojie for a married couple 30 and 33 years old?



    Any other hotels you can think that will be just as nice.



    The venetian has a good deal to,, 150 119 each additional night $50 each stay casino moneyVentetian Hotel Las Vegas?
    I stayed at the Venetian in April, going back next year same time. This is for a convention and I stayed 7 nights.



    Venetian has a perfect location more or less in the middle of the strip. Treasure Island and Wynn are close but with a few minutes walking you reach several other casinos. Also nearby is a shopping arcade.



    I loved Venetian, it's a small city :-)



    When you check-in, be sure to get the renovated rooms with flat screen TVs. Read my review on Tripadvisor where this is further explained:



    http://las-vegas-hotels.tripadvisor.com/鈥?/a>




    It is one of my favorite casino/hotels on the strip. It's well located in the middle of the strip, close to all the action and has more than enough of its own action too. It's perfect for almost any couples or singles. You won't be disappointed. the prices are a bit steep, but on par for hotels of this kind. You should check around for deals and discounts. The Wynn is next door as well as the Paris and both are also on the expensive side. There are also, older casino/hotels that are very nice, clean and comfortable all around too. Check and pick your pleasure. In these tough times, nearly all of the hotels are offering cheaper than normal rates to try and drum up business. Good luck.

    Ventetian Hotel Las Vegas?
    I prefer The Bellagio. It's less phony looking, in a great location and isn't "boojie" at all. It is simply beautiful. Ventetian Hotel Las Vegas?
    The venetien is centre strip. Great location . Nice place but I prefer to stay at Bellagio. IMO a nicer hotel and friendlier atmosphere. You can probably book Bellagio online for 149.00 per night. They usually have that special on. Well worth it. That's a huge deal.

    Trying to decide between 3 hotels in Las Vegas...?

    I'm going to Las Vegas in mid October with 5 other girls, all 21-27. We're trying to decide between Mirage, MGM, and Mandalay Bay. We'll be there for 3 nights and have found packages on Expedia for $384, $350, and $387 respectively including round trip flight.



    Trying to decide which to stay at. Prices are all similar and $30 more for a better hotel is not a concern. While there we'll be walking the strip, going out a couple nights, and using the hotel pool. I do know about the free monorail from Mandalay Bay to Luxor and Excalibur, but are MB and MGM still far down the strip? I haven't been able to find any maps with scales in order to determine this.



    Which hotel would you stay at??Trying to decide between 3 hotels in Las Vegas...?
    Mandalay bay. hands down.
    From Mandalay Bay you would take the tram to the front of the Exaclibur. Just have to cross over to the opposite corner to get to the MGM Grand. The Mirage is about a mile from the MGM Grand and is about a half hour walk when you factor in the foot traffic and waiting for red lights to cross the streets. Doesn't really matter which hotel you stay in. Mandalay Bay has the best pool in Vegas followed by MGM. The Mirage pool area is always crowded. I would stay at the Mandalay Bay just because it is the nicest.Trying to decide between 3 hotels in Las Vegas...?
    The Mirage if you're older, Mandalay Bay if you're younger (they cater to a younger crowd) and MGM if you want to get a lot of exercise walking because it's a huge monstrocity.



    BTW - Bally's used to be the MGM. It's 35 years old, not the current MGM, which has incorporated the old Marina Hotel into the front of it, but it's NOT 35 years old.Trying to decide between 3 hotels in Las Vegas...?
    Of the 3 MGM is the oldest, its 35 years old, vs Mandalay Bay built 10 years ago, the newest of the 3. If you want to be in the center of the strip where you can walk around easily to see the Bellagio fountain and the canal in Venetian I would stay at Mirage. Mandalay Bay is a little away from the strip but they have the best pool.
    All of these hotels are very good. I think Mirage has the best location and Mandalay Bay and MGM are perfect for their pool areas. Personally I would choose MGM Grand because of their great room offer promotions. I would check http://www.vegas-hotels-online.com - it has the latest hotel promos available.
    Mandalay Bay is the best choice and the best pool area. Now the only reason I might consider the Mirage is because it was remodeled last year and is in a better location if you plan to walk everywhere.
    Mirage because it is centrally located, has a great pool, shows, casino, etc. Mandalay is far but has a cool wave pool and nice nightclubs. MGM is the biggest, but may be too big.
    I'd stay at Mirage or MGM 2nd choice. I'm not a big fan of Mandalay Bay personally. I would choose Mirage because of the location, I think that end of the strip is more fun. And the Mirage has recently been remodeled.
    Mandalay Bay is the best of the 3

    Mirage has the best location

    MGM Grand is nice. They are all great hotels. Book using promo codes to save.

    http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/las-vegas鈥?/a>
    I have stayed at Mandalay Bay and it is very nice, but its far from the action as well. I like being in the middle of the strip so I would have to say Mirage. I hear its nice there as well. Have fun!!!
    Best bet is to check the traveler comments through sites such as Tripadvisor.com, Yelp.com, or even Expedia.com

    Don't forget sometimes people exaggerate . hope you ladies have a great time.
    Whatever one you chose will be okay. It really doesn't matter where you stay, you will still do a lot of walking.
    Mirage! Just because! It has Jet club lounge.

    MGM second place.

    Mandalay Bay pool may be closed in October.

  • Las Vegas declared ice hockey capital of North America?

    Long understood to be primarily a Canadian sport, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman made an announcement yesterday that suggests that there is a sense change on the wind.



    No stranger to controversy when it comes to expanding their league, in recent years the NHL has added a number of franchises in the far south of America despite almost non-existent fan bases. Bettman told the press yesterday that Las Vegas, the 31st team to enter the league, will join next season.



    “We’ve spent hours looking at a map of the United States, trying to decide where the hotbed of hockey might be hiding,” said the shrewd commissioner. “We think that we may have found it right here in the Nevada desert. Las Vegas knows better than anyone else how to put on a show. A rink on the Strip could be the center of nightly entertainment in the district. This new franchise will have it all: Gambling, daredevils, women and maybe even a little bit of hockey.”



    Canadian millionaire Jim Balsillie took the time to announce his displease with the decision, in light of his recent attempts to buy a franchise himself. “I’m just an ordinary guy trying to buy a hockey team, but they seem to be blocking me at every turn” said the businessman, who buys professional sports franchises the same way some buy groceries. “I wanted to put a franchise in Ontario, next to Toronto where they can sell out the building almost every game. Gary wants a franchise in the far south, right next to Phoenix. What? You didn’t know Pheonix had a hockey team? Yeah, neither did anybody else.”



    “We can make ice in Las Vegas,” says hockey arena maintenance man and ice professional Bill Shackleton. “It just won’t be good ice. Actually, it’s a little bit stupid to even suggest that pros will be able to play on it. It’s like put basketball players on a court made out of sponges. Maybe we can get the players to bring their roller blades, so if the ice doesn’t work out, at least they can still have a game.”



    Most hockey fans have full faith in the decision making skills of the diminutive, physically inept commissioner of hockey, so there was little backlash at this recent announcement. The policy has found very few critics. Canadian hockey fan Kenny Weatherall was heard to comment, “I don’t know why they don’t go to Winnipeg or somewhere else where water, like, freezes, eh?”Las Vegas declared ice hockey capital of North America?
    Somebody's on crack. Anybody who studies hockey knows that the capitol of hockey is Detroit.



    Las Vegas would be a minor-league market, at best.
    Las Vegas could support two hockey teams. If I were Bettman I would move the Habs and Leafs to Vegas. Those idiot fans in those two cities would still buy season tickets even if there was no hockey, which even now is usually the case especially in Toronto.Las Vegas declared ice hockey capital of North America?
    There is professional hockey in vegas I think they are called the Gamblers, however, I dont think that you have to worry about anybody calling Las Vegas the hockey capital ever. it is a Canadian game and always will beLas Vegas declared ice hockey capital of North America?
    I'm totally against teams in the south that can't compete on the ice or in the wallet.(Phoniex, Florida, Tampa, LA, and Atlanta.) And adding to that is just going to make the NHL a bigger joke than it already is.
    I didn't find it funny, informative or entertaining.
    When you take articles off The Onion you really should admit that is the Source. Although they would have written a better article if they made a joke like this. So next time you want to pretend you have an article then you better have a source. Don't write your own pretend article and expect us to believe it.
    Las Vegas doesn't even have an NHL team only ECHL

    How far of a walk is Spencer Street from Las Vegas Blvd?

    Our travel agent says its like 3 blocks away and shouldn't take too long to walk from our hotel to the strip...but I just looked on google maps and it says is 6 miles! I just want to know what the real distance is..any help appreciated!!How far of a walk is Spencer Street from Las Vegas Blvd?
    Your travel agent isn't being forthcoming.. It's 2.5 miles from the corner of Spencer/Flamingo to the corner of Las Vegas Blvd/Flamingo. It's certainly not 6 miles, but it's still far. That's nothing you're going to want to walk, especially since there's nothing interesting along the way. Get a new travel agent.



    http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d%26amp;saddr=Sp鈥?/a>
    I assume that you are staying at the World Mark resort. If your travel agent just didn't do any research than it is just sloppiness. If he/she is trying to sell you a timeshare than it is unforgivable. The other WorldMark resort in Vegas is also in a very distant location, but at least it has a shuttle bus. If you stay on Spencer street you will either have to rent a car or take the city bus.

    - If you are looking for an inexpensive large room and you don't mind being far away from the strip you should look into SouthPoint. It has a casino a pool and restaurants and a shuttle bus to the strip.How far of a walk is Spencer Street from Las Vegas Blvd?
    He is wrong!!!!!!! Six miles sounds about right. And it is a long, hot walk. You could take the CAT bus though.How far of a walk is Spencer Street from Las Vegas Blvd?
    Your travel agent is trying to sell you on a property that is lucrative to himself/herself.



    I suggest that you just book a nice hotel on the Las Vegas Strip with a good rate at Best Of Vegas http://www.bestofvegas.com/hotels/



    Have fun!
    Which hotel are you at? But 6 miles sounds right if it is actually on the Strip. And it's waaaay to hot now to walk anywhere.
    It is about 5 miles and not to be walked, Spencer is not a good neighbor hood to be walking , take the cat or taxi..

    The Las Vegas Strip is Las Vegas Blvd in Las Vegas, Nevada where there are a lot of hotels and casinos.

    Is there an easy road to drive out of Las Vegas to see the "desert"? I'm a woman, not good at directions....?

    or maps, heehee, and would like an easy route off the Vegas strip into the desert. Thank you!Is there an easy road to drive out of Las Vegas to see the "desert"? I'm a woman, not good at directions....?
    Well since Vegas is in and surrounded by desert all you have to do is travel on any main street and eventually you will find yourself in the desert. You might want to drive west on West Charleston which will take you to Red Rock Canyon. Safe and really beautiful.
    take 95 south, it is definite desert. We were amazed at the cactus and sand so close to a populated area. we flew into McCarren, and left with no Driving problems at all. also at the car rental place, ask for a GPS, they rent them, and it will give you turn, by turn directions. very simple to use and cheap to rent.Is there an easy road to drive out of Las Vegas to see the "desert"?

    It's pretty much all around. Pahrump is an option, head up to Red Rock Canyon on the North side for some natural beauty. Various websites can help you narrow down exactly what you want to see. Visitors bureau, chamber of commerce, AAA travel among others.Is there an easy road to drive out of Las Vegas to see the "desert"? I'm a woman, not good at directions....?
    You could drive to Pahrump, Its about 40 minutes from Vegas. Just take blue Diamond (hwy 372) all the way down till you hit Pahrump.

    Is Las Vegas much more then Casinos & Strip Clubs... Read On?

    I am expected to move to the Las Vegas metro area by end March - likely the Paradise/Henderson area. I appreciate if some native or knowledgeable persons can best prepare me for relocation.



    I want to move to an area that is not too much congested with CASINO GAMBLING and STRIP CLUBS / but has much SHOPS %26amp; RESTAURANTS / and RELATIVE LOW CRIME - basically a clean fun night life or things to do area - Henderson I understand Yes, Spring Valley? part of Paradise?



    Please advise?



    Also please tell me in regarding exclusively the Downtown Vegas area:

    1/ About how many square miles is it considered, and it's borders- city-data.com indicates roughly 10 sq mi, maps indicate at least 25-30 sq mi?

    2/ ABOUT WHAT PERCENT(%) OF THE BUSINESSES ARE GAMBLING OR STRIP CLUB RELATED





    Thanks to all who answered!!!Is Las Vegas much more then Casinos %26amp; Strip Clubs... Read On?
    You are going to find gambling all over Vegas at different levels. Most 7/11 have a slots area as do most of the grocery stores. There are large casinos all over the valley and thousands of small casino/restaurants/bars. Believe me you won't even notice them as time goes on. You just learn to accept them and they don't bother you. I live in Paradise and the closest large casino is South Point. Strip clubs are mainly near the strip and downtown. Normally not a factor for living here.



    You will find residential areas are loaded with grocery stores, restaurants and stores of all kinds. You will have crime no matter where you live but the areas you mentioned are lower in crime than others. You will be surprised how normal living here is. You will find that you will avoid the strip at all costs as that is for tourists and you don't need that. If you choose to gamble you will find casinos that cater to locals all over the valley. Hard to beat their restaurants and buffets with their prices. Life is pretty normal here believe it or not.Is Las Vegas much more then Casinos %26amp; Strip Clubs... Read On?
    Nearly the entire Las Vegas strip is in Paradise.



    The City of Las Vegas is north of Sahara Ave. Strip resorts have Las Vegas postal addresses but they are not in the city of Las Vegas.



    Henderson is a good area, so is Summerlin. If you move to Paradise you're most likely going to be near casinos and strip clubs but maybe not. You'll need to know the exact address.
