Las Vegas Review Summary

Viewpoints reviewers have "never been to a place more stimulating than Las Vegas". There are plenty of Hotels on the Strip that you can stay at or just visit. "Each hotel offers different things to see".  Watch Dolphins in the Secret Garden at the Mirage, visit wax celebrities at Madame Tussauds Wax Museum at the Venetian, or go to the top of the mini Eiffel Tower at the Paris Hotel. Besides these attractions, there's also plenty of Shopping, Dining and Gambling around to keep you entertained. A few reviewers say that "Vegas is so overhyped", but overall Viewpoints reviewers are heading back to Las Vegas as soon as they can! Although some claim it is a Family Friendly destination, others state to leave the kids at home since "there is no way your kids could go to Vegas without coming across some rude pictures, advertisements thrown on the ground, gambling, drinking and smoking". If you can't get there quite yet, then check out these Las Vegas TV Shows instead!

My husband and I always knew we would go to Vegas some time after we got married.  After all, everyone in my family has been there, some multiple times, some a ton of times.  Everyone in my family loves it.  What my husband didn't know is that I would get the Vegas bug only a few months after our...

I don't honestly feel much of a draw towards Vegas.

I don't gamble for one thing, which leaves me with a scant 1% of the local "attractions" to attract me, and I don't go in for fakery or shams, which pretty much wipes out 100% of Vegas.

What the attraction? I dunno. I can certainly think of an entire...

 What is there to like about Las Vegas?

Everything!!!!!! I absolutely LOVE Las Vegas, the Strip, the gambling, nightclubs, elegant quiet evening dining, sight seeing, the stars, the fabulous shows and everything else that goes along with it!!! There are entrance signs at both ends of The Strip that reads; "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas". And TRUST ME, THEY DO MEAN FABULOUS!!!

 I've been there several times, and plan to go back there sometime next year in the spring!! You can come here and just do whatever you want to and at your own leisure!! Everything  humanly possible and imaginable,...

There is no greater vacation destination in the world than Las Vegas. I love gambling but more than that I love to be entertained. Vegas does just that. They have 1st class shows, great food, amazing scenery(not just the hotels, but the mountain range off in the distance as well). The MGM properties out there treat you the best of the mainstream hotels and allow you to experience many different things. I try to go once a year and it is never the same, Vegas is constantly evolving and getting better with each attempt. If you are over 21 and without kids or have your kids grown up already and want... review »

I have lived in Las Vegas for about two years so here is my guide for my favorite things to do while you are in Las Vegas.  Las Vegas is such a great destination for everyone because there is so much to do and such a wide variety of places to visit.  If you are traveling on a budget, I have some options to save money and still have fun.  If you are going for a luxurious vacation, you can find that in Vegas too. 

1. Getting there is easy

Vegas is such an easy drive from California (I did it in about 4 hours), but many airlines also offer great deals on quick flights.  Fly during the week to get...

     Las Vegas, NV has to be one of the most fun cities in the United States.  There are so many things to see and do that you really can never be bored.  It is known as the city of lights, and you will be able to tell that as you walk down Las Vegas Blvd. at night.  It is a beautiful site to see.

     Las Vegas isn't just about gambling anymore.  There are so many shows and attractions to see, it is almost becoming a family getaway.  You could actually spend a vacation there without gambling and never get bored.  It seems like every hotel has something for everyone there.  Each hotel...

Las Vegas is definately fun in the sun.  I do the usual tourist activities and found plenty of mueums, factory tours, and sightseeing tours available here.  The sightseeing and factory tours can be quite kid friendly.

If you want a reasonably priced family vacation book a package and pick a non casino hotel.  They have all the major chains : Best Western, La Quinta, and Extended Stay America(which have kitchenettes and weekly rates).

They have great factory tours at the Ocean Spray factory, Ethel M chocolate Factory(which has a beatiful cactus garden and hydroponic garden), and the Jet Puff Marshmellow...

We spent 4 days and 3 nights at the Hooters Casino and Hotel.  Rooms were clean, nice towels and the beds were comfy.  Can't say anything about the price though since I won a trip that included air fare and hotel.  Treasure Island has a free outside show so get there early to get your spot on the boardwalk.  The Mirage and Belagio also have outside water shows.  The Tournament of Kings at the Excalibur is a little pricey, $123 for 2, but that does include your meal and non alcoholic beverage.  Show is very entertaining and good for kids.

The $21.95 lunch buffet at the Wynn Hotel is the best that I have had in Las Vegas.
Sushi, shrimp cocktail, carved roasts, tossed Caesar or Chinese chicken salads, fresh fruits, house made ice cream and desserts...
There are different ethnic foods: Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican.
Home baked bread and rolls.

We just came back (2/15-2/18) from Vegas; been there 3 times before. Liked Vegas very much before, but we will never go back again! Be warned. This city has become a horrible place where only mindless greed, ugliness, and out and out fleecing of visitors now exist.

It used to be reasonably good slot machine gambling town.Though one never won much, they paid enough so that you could stretch your gambling budget till you left. Not any more! They have made payouts so horrendously bad; your money goes out so fast, you won't believe it. Their machines are noe far, far worse than local casino machines...

    When someone says Las Vegas the first thing people think of is gambling, however Las Vegas has so much more to offer then just gambling, they have all kinds of shows, entertainment, beautiful sights shopping and much more.

    In Las Vegas there is so much to do and see besides gambling, there is no way you could ever get bored.  I go there once a year and I always find something new to do or see.  They have a lot of free things to see and they have many tours for so many things.  They have things to do for everyone no matter what age you are.  There are many beautiful places to go...

If i knew the fun would never end I'd live there.   I have never been to a place more stimulating that Las Vegas.   You can find anything and EVERYTHING here.   It is a place that keeps re inventing themselves every time I go.  

I often go to Las Vegas on my vacation.   I have never been disappointed when I went. There is so much to choose from even a week is NOT enough time to truly experience the greatness of Las Vegas.

Even for non-gamblers Las Vegas is truly wonderful.   As a big fan of history of cities, this place definitely has it.  I love to research the places I go and  this...

I LOVE LAS VEGAS!  What a great place to go.  I enjoy strolling through the casinos & seeing how each incorporates their "theme" throughout the hotel, from furnishings to carpet, staff uniforms, etc.  Each hotel offers different things to see.  The lion exhibit at the MGM, the Bellagio has a beautiful conservatory that we make sure we see each time we go there.  They change the exhibit several times throughout the year, making beautiful settings with flowers of all kinds.  Last time we were in Vegas, the conservatory's theme was "taking a drive along Route 66" & had different scenes depicted...

One of the biggest surprises about Las Vegas was how family oriented it has become. I put off a trip there for years because I had 4 children and opted for cruise vacations instead, thinking of Vegas as an adults only playground. When a too-good-to-pass-up opportunity to go came along, I did enough research to convince myself that there would be a FEW family things to do (expecting most of that to be eating if nothing else...) and kept my fingers crossed. I was so surprised - the hotels almost all had entertainment for the kids (aged 3 to teens). Plus there were so many fun things to see and do... review »
