About how much would it cost to rent a car to drive from Detroit to Las Vegas (6,000 miles)? -
Can someone give me even a rough estimate price any car cheapest possible reliable car with air conditioning be putting about 6,000 miles on the car driving... would it be cheaper to just get a plane ticket and take a cab from where I want to go in Las Vegas ? (4,000 miles or so there and back and another 2,000 going somewhere else while there)
Round trip airfare can be less than 300, at the moment. I think your best bet would be to fly, then rent a car in Las Vegas to do the local traveling.Compact car rental rates for a month, with a pick up and drop off in Detroit, vary from $480 to $930. Intermediate size car rates for a month $550 to $1900. Larger cars are even more costly.Those charges do NOT include taxes and fees, which probably add at least another 100. Those rates also may not be for unlimited mileage. Plus gas, and lodging and food for several days on the road in each direction. Even with the cheapest care rental, I think the total trip cost could easily be in the area of 2000.Car rental companies have changed their practices a lot in the past 10 years or so, and sometimes, the cars are only allowed to be operated in the state in which they were rented, and the surrounding states - in other words, it would be a rental agreement violation to drive beyond Indiana.You would have to check out the rental terms very carefully to decide if they would work for you.
most car rental companies include free mileage so that is not the issue - it will be gas, and the time it will take to get you there. (I frequently rent a car to go several thousand miles rather than drive my own)Better option rent the car in Vegas. Their transport service in Vegas is pretty good anyway - Here is a link to the options:http://off2vegas.com/transit.html
Get a ticket. Renting a car for just a couple days would be as much as a ticket there. And then theres the mileage issue. Most renting companies give u a certain limit. and i know that 1000 is above that limit. so a ticket is the best way to go. U shouldnt waste ur time searching for a car. Just a waste of time.
it would be cheaper to fly because most companies will charge about .75 or more a mile after 2000
Is architecture only considered antebellum if its located in the Southern U.S.? -
The term Antebellum refers to any time in the US before the Civil War.There really is nothing called Antebellum Architechture. Most Southern Plantations are considered Georgian Architecture based on the style that was prevalent during the reigns of the British kings George I-IV.
2-3 day tours of Yosemite National Park? -
My elderly father wishes to do a tour with his partner and all the bus tours only have an overnight stopover any suggestions?
Following is a list of several companies offering multi-day tours to Yosemite National Park. All of these tours originate in San Francisco which makes sense because SF is a major entry point into California for US and International travelers alike. If your father isn t in San Francisco he ll have to get there to join one of these tours.Extranomical Adventures (from San Francisco)http://www.extranomical.com/HTML_PAGES/Y��Yosemite-Tours (from San Francisco)http://www.yosemite-tours.com/index.htmYosemite Parlor Car Tours (from San Francisco)http://www.calpartours.com/Yosemite%20To��Green Tortoise Adventure Travel (from San Francisco)http://www.greentortoise.com/adventures/��As an alternative, your father can drive to Yosemite Valley or a town along the YARTS route and use YARTS to enter the park. Once in the park he can take tours of the park with the park concessionaire offering this service. Below is some information on YARTS and the tours offered in the park.Yosemite Area Regional Transportation System (YARTS):http://www.yarts.com/Yosemite Tours Guided Adventureshttp://www.yosemitepark.com/Activities_G��If your father can t or doesn t want to drive, can someone like yourself take him and his friend to Yosemite? A few years back I took my elderly parents and in-laws on a 17-day tour of California and Oregon. We all flew into Los Angeles where I rented a 15 passenger van (there were 9 of us plus baggage) and we drove all the way to Washington State before returning to LA. Along the way I took them to Sequoia National Park, Yosemite National Park, Columbia State Historic Park, Lassen Volcanic National Park, McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park, Lava Beds National Monument, Crater Lake National Park, Oregon Coast Aquarium, Columbia River Gorge, Mount Saint Helens National Monument, Oregon Caves National Monument, Hearst San Simeon State Historic Park and of course, Disneyland. They all had a fantastic time and it was one of their most enjoyable trips. Mind you they are world travelers but there is no substitute for traveling in a small family group.I do hope your farther and his friend find what they re looking for and are able to tour Yosemite. Give them my regards.
What are the best beaches for tidepooling in Los Angeles? -
My family is going to LA later this week, and staying in Riverside, so preferably, the beaches should be near Riverside. Thanks.
Riverside is quite a ways from any beach... the closest is 60 miles or so. Laguna Beach has some tide pools. The others are quite a ways, such as Cabrillo Beach, or way down south in La Jolla (or up north in Carpinteria).
There are no beaches near Riverside as Riverside is quite a ways inland. But it s worth the drive to spend a day at Abalone Cove Shoreline Park in Palos Verdes. Bring a picnic lunch, pack some towels in a backpack and hike down to Abalone Cove where there are tons of tide pools with crabs, fish, starfish, sea anenomes, shells, etc.It s a very affordable but great outing for kids and the hike is very easy so you can get some exercise and then enjoy the beach and tidepools once you get to the bottom.http://www.trailhiker.smugmug.com/galler��
If you go to Laguna be aware that all of the tide pools inside the city limits are within a State Marine Conservation Area. This means that nothing is allowed to leave these areas, including game fish, dead or alive invertebrates, sand, rocks or shells.In case you don t already know, here are some good tide-pooler rules in general:Never remove animals, shells or rocks from tide pools.Never pick up animals. Observe them where they are.Never turn over rocks.Always walk gently, taking care not to step on plants or animals.Always remove any trash from the tide pools
What is the fastest/shortest route to drive from Texarkana,TX to Atlanta,GA? -
US 71 to Shreveport and I-20 from there. I would say that would be the shortest route.Another way might be 30 to Little Rock, 40 to Memphis and pick up US 78 to take you through Tupelo, Birmingham and then get on to 20 there. Google maps says that is shorter, but Memphis is always hit or miss traffic wise.So I would recommend just going to Shreveport.
Ask the Bandit.
Pick up I- 20 East in Shreveport.
I am 18 yrs old and am going to las vegas, can i sit and watch the players gamble with someone who is over 21? -
That doesn t sound fun :(I d wait until I was 21 to go to Vegas baby!!
No way! lol I m actually 20 and have been to vegas many times since age 4 lol, but i hate to say it but your just gonna have to do find other stuff to do, as much as it sucks. Vegas is still ******* awesome, not matter if you can do **** or not, i know it sounds strange, but that s just me. (naturally its gonna be one big blur of lights when i turn 21!, lol) speaking personally you can sometimes get away with being around the slots, def. NOT the tables though, but that was me and i tend to look older anyways. So yeah.
I think that you can t watch. To watch you have to be 21.
Sorry you can t. You are not allowed in the table area or close to slot machines. Here are other things you can do in Vegas.http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/things-to��
Most casinos have game areas for kids of parents who are off gambling, but any areas that are gambling related are strictly 21 years or over no matter how much you beg :-)
Sit outside the casino, and get some binoculars.
If your not 21 your not allowed on the casino gaming floor area..
nope you can t be on the gaming floor period.
Nope! Must be 21. You can however, go to the buffet.
