Long weekend getaway ideas

[Hoover]

If you are on a budget I'd suggest Las Vegas

Note: Even if you are not into gambling there is plenty to do. Kinda warm this time of year, easy to get around, lots of shows, free entertainment, and good dining options. You can get cheap ass rooms during the week. I've stayed at the Palms for 80 bucks a night. Nice place but the location sucks since the strip is on the other side of the interstate. You should be able to find cheap hotels on the strip like the Luxor or something.

I've also stayed at the Trump's hotel, which is really nice. One of my favorite spots is the Platinum. It's not a casino and is located just behind the strip.

If you are a real tight ass you could stay way off of the strip at a local casino like Arizona Charlie's or something. 25 bucks a night or something.

Grab a steak at Vic and Anthony's at the Golden Nugget. - That's not a budget place. Never mind but its really good.

IMO, "Vegas" and "budget" just don't mix. It's hard to find anything really fun to do on the strip that doesn't cost money. It's much cheaper to stay off-strip, but off-strip is a LOT shittier, too. And if you're taking a cab from the strip to a place off-strip, you'll negate all the savings in cab fare.

Vegas is best enjoyed when you have enough money to do basically whatever the hell you want to.

Oh, I disagree. Just walking through all the casinos is entertainment in itself. If we go we will take in at least one show and then one side event like repelling or jumping off the stratosphere. The rest would be sightseeing and eating.

Of course, my wife is interested in the cruise idea so I am going to at least entertain it.

Different strokes, I guess. I find walking through the casinos/malls extremely boring. Too much smoke, too many slot machines, too many shops selling a bunch of shit that I can't afford. Playing the games is different, but just walking through -- no thanks.

The cool bars are the highlight, but they're not cheap.

Yeah but I don't think his mrs is going to enjoy watching him do a line off a $1500 call girl's stomach.
