Harleyman Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Really, you can't go by me. Maybe because I've more than had my fill of these places when I was growing up. My father loved them! He thought it was the best thing ever and I'd be sitting there with a pile of lobster shells in front of me, going uuuuhhhhhhh and feeling queasy. Even the desserts lost their allure after awhile. Casinos, meh. The flashing lights, walls of people and noise give me a headache, I'd rather be outside Everything in Las Vegas is so damn bright and new and alluring and designed to draw you in. I always feel like a rat in some giant experiment. It makes me want to run out into the desert as fast as I can to get away. Yes, I am weird, but for those who love it, then go. And have some fun for me because I never got the hang of it. Would you let your husband go to Vegas for a weekend with the boys Sierra? Honest answer now My missus wouldn't let me go stag. I tried a couple of years ago but it never happened. I guess she didnt like the idea that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did go a few times on business, but he was working. Or so he said. And your missus knows you better than I do, heh. I used to love those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisT70 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Fly into San Francisco, one of the most passenger friendly entry points into the U.S, have a few days in San Francisco before taking the drive down to LA. Stopping off at places like Monteray, San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach, Solvang, Santa Barbra. Then have a few days in LA with maybe a day trip down to San Diego. Fly back from LA or if time permits head to Vegas to finish off the holiday and fly back from Vegas. have done exactly that before, great recommendation.

swordfish1 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 have done exactly that before, great recommendation. So did I, years ago. Just booked flights, hired a car and took backpackers guide. Scary first night involving a hooker (not one I'd "hired") and a couple of fellas with guns, but fantastic time after that. If you do San Francisco, Alcatraz is a must.

fruitisbad Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I booked a flight west but with a connection in new york, rather than zstay for an hour I was able to stay for 4 days. It's worth speaking to the airlines and see if they still do this. was loads cheaper than flying to new york, then an internal flight. I would imagine most flights stop somewhere on the east coast rather than go all the way west in one go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitisbad Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 also if doing vegas, san fran, etc. go do the grand canyon in arizona, it's not much further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcatraz is a must, the night time tour is super spooky. California is a fantastic place to visit and no matter what anybody says and nip over into Nevada to Las Vegas is worth at least a couple of nights of everybody's time.

Although I agree the desert around these cities is much more interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
