My friend is going to be turning the big 4-0 this upcoming January and a group of us girls have decided to fly to Vegas for the weekend.  (Leaving Friday night and coming home Monday)   The last time I was in Vegas I was in 4th grade so needless to say the only thing I can remember is circus circus. 

I’m not to much into gambling.. $20 and I’m done.  Thankfully my friend isn’t either and she would like to do some fun things like maybe taking a tour of Hover Dam, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, things like that. 

So, here’s my questions to those have been to vegas….

1.  Beside gambing… what was something fun that you would recommend doing?
2.  Is there a certain place you highly recommend eating at?
3. When you are there.. are you a contant busy?  I’m debating if I would want to bring my laptop or not.  My guess is it will be staying home since I have a feeling we will be busy, but sometimes it’s nice to have to look something up.  Of course the hotel my friend was thinking we were staying at you have to pay extra to be able to go online, so maybe I will just pass on that.
4. Is the strip far from the airport?  If you were going to be staying at a place on the strip, would you rent a car, take a shuttle ($14.50 a person) or pay a taxi?  (there currently are 4 or 5 of us going)
5. Is there a hotel you would recommend over another?  My friend was thinking Planet Hollywood…

If you have anything else you would like to add that I might want to know, please leave me a comment!!

Thanks in advance!!
