5 days in Vegas, Jun-18-Jun-22....
What shall I do?

I am going to meet with an old friend and catch up, but there will be time for checking out a few hot spots, lounging, and that sort of thing. Is there anything I MUST do while in Vegas?

Besides see an Elvis impersanator...I gotta do that.

2. Thanks...
The SO is staying home this trip...she bought my ticket as a birthday gift so I could go see the friend I grew up with.. so no kissy face for me.

But thanks for all the suggestions, I will have to include those. The Hoover Dam I think is already on the agenda, as is Lake Mead (sp?) fishing one of the days.

Thanks again!

7. Cirque du Soleil....!
It's amazing how much there is to do, but the shows can run about $100...if tix are available. Worth every penny!

8. A "second" for Cirque
Love those Vegas SHOWS! I'll be going the weekend after you and seeing...

- "Love," the new Beatles-themed show by Cirque du Soleil. In previews, hasn't opened officially yet.
- "Ka," another permanent Cirque show -- can only see in Vegas.
- "Le Reve," a show produced by a Cirque alum (we couldn't get a third Cirque show, ha ha!)

If I had more time (and money) I'd also like to see Penn and Teller and Wayne Newton. Just because, MAN, it's Vegas!
