Las Vegas is famous for its strippers, gambling, cheap food and alcohol, tolerance of wild behaviour (to a point!) and the saying, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!” This vast city of lights, sex, gambling and excess is Disneyland for adults, a playground for grownups that will leave you breathless with the number of things to do, see and experience. It’s the perfect get-away for a group of mates looking for a holiday they will never forget.
Serious gamblers abound at the myriad of slot machines and craps tables. A group of friends might find a Party Poker bonus option at the casinos, but gambling isn’t the only game in town while in Vegas. Visitors could spend all day just at the shows, eating their way through the endless buffets and gourmet restaurants, or seeking out the more unusual attractions that Vegas has to offer.
Vegas is the perfect holiday for group gatherings, whether for a reunion, birthday or stag-do. A group of mates can stay together to visit the casinos, see a show, or take part in one of Vegas’ many other attractions, or split up to see the Strip on a more personal level when the boisterous group starts to feel overwhelming.
The Fremont Street canopy show is not to be missed. Every hour on the hour beginning at 8pm, everything goes dark for a few seconds before the canopy overhead lights up with music and a themed show. Watching the other people can be as much fun as the show itself, as tourists are often amazed and awed by the spectacle. Continue on Fremont Street toward Fitzgerald’s to visit the Neon Museum, where a history of Vegas in gaudy, glowing glass tubes can be viewed, or visit some of the smaller casinos and the gift and novelty shops.
Gents with a bit of class will want to visit Don Yeyo Cigars on Sahara Blvd. Tucked away a couple blocks off the main Strip, Don Yeyo’s offers a complete array of hand-rolled cigars with your choice of tobacco and wrappers for a much smaller price than those you can buy at the hotels. This unique little shop offers visitors an opportunity to pick up a gift if you’re in Vegas for a birthday bash, or to give the groom-to-be a final smoke before he faces the firing squad… er, priest.
For a real thrill, the rides mounted atop the famous Stratosphere can’t be beat. The Stratosphere is the tallest free-standing building in the States. What better place to park four of the most insane amusement park style rides in the world than over 350 metres in the air? Visitors can pay per ride, or if you and your mates are real adrenaline junkies, buy a day-pass and take in all the thrills for one price. Whether you leap off the building with the SkyJump, get flung nearly 50 metres in the air by the Big Shot, spun around by Insanity, the Ride, or ride the X-Scream Vegas rollercoaster, a holiday with your mates in Vegas is one you’ll never forget, guaranteed.
