Is Las Vegas romantic for an anniversary vacation? -

I have never been there but I always think of Vegas as all glitz and no substance, which is not really romantic to me. I guess I think it s a party town, more for young people raising hell. However, everyone who s been there says it d be a great place to go for our anniversary trip. What s your opinion?

Would you consider it romantic to sit on the edge of a lake as you have dinner? You can do that at more than one restaurant at Bellagio. Or perhaps a trip to the top of the Eiffel Tower? (OK, it s not the real Eiffel Tower but boy it looks like it and when you re with someone you love it is romantic. I know, been there done that.) Las Vegas can be very romantic. Get a room with a view and just order room service. (one of my favorites)Check out this site for some other ideas. Look closely at the wedding section.http://www.smart-tourist.org/lasvegas/

I depends on your concept of romantic . It certainly can be. If you stay in a hotel like the Venetian, enjoy any of the various shows together, eat at the fancy hotels together etc. It has plenty of everything. I recommend a sunset dinner at the Top of the World restaurant high atop the Stratosphere tower. It slowly rotates 360 degrees, almost imperceptibly, and the views and colors are extremely romantic. The service is excellent as well. Afterward, you can visit the observation deck or even go on the thrill rides on the roof if that floats your boat. There are trendy clubs, raucous party bars, quiet lounges etc. all kinds of entertainment possibilities. And of course, shopping like you have never seen before. Don t forget the spas. Go and get pampered!Not very many destinations that can offer all of that.*

You can t really summarize Vegas as any one thing. There are many choices in Vegas. If you re looking for a lot of excitement and lots of things to do, it would be a great choice.If you stay at a place like Bellagio or Venetian or the Wynn, you could avoid the hell-raising young people. They tend to stay at Hard Rock or the Palms or Planet Hollywood. If you re looking to spend a lot of quiet time together, there are probably better choices. Maybe a cruise or a Caribbean beach resort.

We went for our 10th anniversary, and it was the perfect trip for us. We are not into partying, but we had a great time together.We had a really nice dinner at Delmonicos (one of Emeril s restaurants), but some other romantic places would be Top of the World at Stratosphere (revolving restaurant at the top of the tower), the Eiffel Tower restaurant at Paris, and Mon Ami Gabi at Paris (particularly the patio, where you can watch the Bellagio fountains across the street). There are romantic and classy hotels like Bellagio, Venetian/Palazzo, Wynn/Encore, and Caesars, which can make the trip romantic. We stayed at Venetian on our anniversary trip, and it was a wonderful place. We did the gondola ride there, which was really nice.There are tons of shows you can see together - funny, classy, whatever. There are so many from which to choose! Phantom of the Opera is a great romantic show, but some other good ones include the Cirque shows, Lance Burton, Penn Teller, Jersey Boys, Blue Man Group...just to name a few. We also did a Grand Canyon helicopter tour, which was amazing. They also do nighttime helicopter tours of the strip, and you can get packages that include champagne and things like that.There are lots of sights to see on the strip, and lots of things to do. You don t have to be big into partying or gambling to enjoy Vegas. We had a great time, and it s one of our favorite vacation spots.

Las Vegas is very much a party town. That said, the city has all the elements required and the ability to become one of the most romantic destinations in the continental United States. It all depends on what you plan for yourselves and how much you plan to spend. Romance is more about what you do, the manner in which it is done, and who you are with, and less about where you are.

Lot of people get married here, so there is some romance. I love it here and live here. If you are free spirited you will enjoy your visit. If you are two Bible belters from middle American it will be a turn off to you. Not knowing that much about your background it is hard to categorize if you will or not be happy.

It can be very romantic if you do it right. You can enjoy a luxurious hotel suite, get massages, dine at a different 5-star restaurant and see a different world-class show every night of your stay.

you will have fun, and you will be with each other doing it. But you are right, it is a party town, but with tons and tons and TONs of things to do.Did I mention there s tons of things to do?

It Is A PERFECT Romantic City

Its really fun and you can make it romantic in your room and by going to shows together!

You should consider doing a renewal of vows.....I would reccomend prob. the chapel of the flowers...

You d be correct.

Are there any good stargazing spots near Tallahassee? -

I m hoping to go watch the meteor shower tomorrow night with some friends. To that end, I d like to find a place a little north of Tallahassee (up to about 40 minutes, and definitely north of I-10). I d like to be away from any light sources, and in a place where it wouldn t be illegal to have a dozen people sitting on blankets (i.e., not in some dude s large back yard, or in a park that closes at sunset). Any suggestions?

When I was going to UCF in Orlando I would go to the observatory on campus and it was amazing to watch the showers. I m sure the college up there has an observatory that is open to the public. Plus, the observatory s set in an area that is away from lights so they shouldn t interfere.
