Las Vegas Vacation
If you’ve never taken a Las Vegas vacation, I definitely recommend doing it at least once in your life.  Las Vegas vacations can be exciting, and can give you a taste of a sort of glamorous life even if for just a short while.  So long as you have some money to spend, you’ll generally be treated like royalty on a Las Vegas vacation.  Of course, when you run out of money you’ll probably get a very different impression of Las Vegas.

The best way to do a Las Vegas vacation is definitely to splurge a little.  See a show or two, get a nice room on the strip, and live it up for a while.  There’s some great venues in Las Vegas, and almost always some great shows to see.  Gambling can be a lot of fun too if that’s your thing, but just make sure you can afford to lose anything you gamble with!

Even on the cheap, a Las Vegas vacation can be fun.  It’s just one of those cities you have to see in your life.  You don’t have to stay in one of those big name casino hotel resorts, and can find plenty of affordable rates along the strip, or even more affordable a short drive out.  Since you don’t really, or at least shouldn’t really, be spending a whole lot of time in your room, I don’t really think it matters much where you stay in a Las Vegas vacation.  Of course, it’s nice to be on or near the strip so you can easily walk from one place to another.  If you are going in the summer, this is key, as it is brutal to walk very far during a hot summer day in Las Vegas.

Having said all that, I’ve been on Las Vegas vacations twice, and I feel like I’ve had enough of it for two lifetimes.  Even though I’ll probably wait until I’m reincarnated for the third time before I go back, the Las Vegas vacations I took were certainly worthwhile and made for interesting memories and funny photographs to share with people.

If you’ve ever seen the Chevy Chase movie National Lampoon’s Las Vegas Vacation, you’ll have seen some great examples of how not to take a Las Vegas vacation.  Well, at least the part about staying in a trailer with your in laws in the middle of nowhere.
