High Roller or Kid In A Stroller - Las
Vegas Family Vacation
by: Elizabeth Ann Wares
Las Vegas is much more than jangling one arm bandits,
and noisy casinos. Seriously, there is so much more to do than gamble
and eat from mile-long buffet tables. Las Vegas is home to
the some of the finest nightlife, shopping, attractions, and golf courses
in the world.
Your entertainment options are unlimited in this city known as "America's
Playground". There are thrilling roller coasters, dolphin and magic
shows, and street shows such as Treasure Island's life-like pirate battle.
You can even tour Egypt in a simulated ride. There are places to bowl,
enjoy a leisurely spa, shop 'til you drop, and even get married. The
possibilities are almost overwhelming, so make sure to plan, or have
some sort of idea what you would like to see and do while you are there.
You will definitely want to put a trip to Fremont Street on your itinerary.
Fremont Street is located in the heart of downtown Las Vegas and is
a short stroll from many hotels or you can ride the public transportation
which is extremely clean and passenger friendly. Look overhead as you
walk the 4 block long Fremont Street Experience and you will be awed
by the over 2.1 million lights and the state-of-the-art sound system
in the canopy constructed 90 feet over street level.
If you are vacationing and wanting to spoil yourself, then you have
come to the perfect place. Many of the spas offer fitness centers. In
addition you can treat yourself to facials, massages, body wraps, saunas,
heated whirlpools, steam rooms and other treatments, including tanning.
Don't dare miss the fountains at Bellagio. It is one of the most spectacular
and memorable sights in Las Vegas or maybe even the world! You will
be mesmerized as the water takes on a life all it's own and dances in
perfect synchronization to broadway favorites and opera and everything
thing else in between. Best of all this show is also free.
While you are at Bellagio, make time to tour their gardens. You will
feel yourself relax, as you enter this tranquil oasis. With over 85,000
square foot of space the conservatory has 1,200 exotic plants and flowers
such as orchids and lilies. Every month, the fragrant displays are changed
to keep the scenery fresh.
On May 15, 2005, Las Vegas will be celebrating its 100th Birthday!
It's an historic event that has something to offer everyone. The Centennial
Celebration Committee has promised to commemorate the 100th birthday
by hosting a birthday party that’s bigger and brighter than the
neon lights on the Las Vegas Strip! The party actually started on December
31, 2004 and will last for more than a year.
With all the resorts competing for your business, you will be able
to find cheap or at least heavy discounts on rooms and meals. Seniors
and students can find special airfare and accomodations to suit their
budgets. Las Vegas is resort whereby you can spend as much or as little
as you want and have a great experience.
Daytime or nightime, Las Vegas is a wonderful place to bring the whole
family to vacation or just get away with someone special. And with the
BIG Centennnial planned, what better time than the present?
