Following on from NY in Feb - I've booked to go Las Vegas in November.

Looking forward to this one now.

New York was great, but now I've got the bug to visit more of America. So I've booked Las Vegas for the wife and I. Realised after I booked we are there for thanksgiving, so that should be fun.

We are staying at Ceasar's Palace.

In no particular order.
Day 1.
I plan to spend a full day in the grand canyon/Hoover dam, fancy hiring a muscle car and driving there myself. Set off at 6am etc.
It will be cool at that time of day

Day 2.
Another day I want to go to Emerald Cave kayaking, so that is two full days outside of Vegas itself.

Day 3.
I want to visit the Shelby musuem as well, that's a 3 hr experience.
Then there is the Atomic musuem, that is a 2-3 hour experience.

Day 4.
I want to do a half day at a shooting range.

Day 5.
Thanks giving day (this is not the 5th day of our trip as I'm not putting these into an real order) This I think will be a more relaxed day, but need to decide where to eat, as I've read that you need to book for anything decent,

Day 6.
Explore the strip

Day 7.
Explore the strip.

We did New York in Feb, and was there for 5 days, and many people said 5 days is more than enough, but we felt it went to fast, and another 2 days would have been ideal.

Should be OK.

I don't usually suffer too badly. The key is getting a few hours on the plane at the right time.

 

[Ace Modder]

Yeah Rotty, already looked and 4hrs 20mins-ish is the time, hence why I'm looking to do it in a fun car.

 

[Ace Modder]

The Range 702 is great for shooting some cool guns, had a fun time there. Free t shirt as well.

Thanks, I did look at battlefield shooting range, but will check your suggestion out also.

 

[Ace Modder]

I probably wouldn't be looking to drive to the GC on day 1, it is a LONG day and jet lag will be hitting you pretty hard by the end of it.

Yeah, that isn't the order I expect it will be done. I did write "in no particular order" for the list.

 

[Ace Modder]

It might be sacrilege to say but I did the whole muscle car to GC bit and it was totally underwhelming. It is literally a massive hole in the ground with a visitors centre, so unless you plan on hiking or getting a chopper or whatever, the GC West sky walk is probably just as good. Muscle car to Yosemite was way more fun.

Thanks for the tip! will consider it.
