LAS VEGAS
I'm going to a wedding in Las Vegas in January. I'm not into gambling, not into the 'tack'. Is there anything else to do there? Any places anyone can recommend?

Re: LAS VEGAS
Nick, walking down the strip is pretty good fun, just to laugh at the tackiness.
You could go to a show, I think Siegfried and Roy are still on. =D
Lara's right, the Hoover Dam is awesome. You can drive to the Canyon in a day too, if you leave early. Or horse riding in Red Rock Canyon is also great fun.

Re: LAS VEGAS
Isn't there a roller coaster on top of one of the buildings in Las Vegas?

Yes, it truly is! I would advise anyone who goes through the tour, down to the very bottom, etc. not to go during the summer months (hotter than hell) and not after an all nighter of gambling and no sleep.

Re: LAS VEGAS
Nick: I would highly recommend the flight tours to the Grand Canyon. The airlines will pick you up from several of the hotels and take you to the airport. Kirk and I took a scenic flight over the Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon, & stayed overnight at one of the lodges on the south rim of the canyon. In the morning we had a sunrise tour of the canyon, and flew back to Vegas in the afternoon. It was a beautiful experience.
