Christmas in Las Vegas (:? -

So, my husband and I are in Vegas with our two children and soon to be addition- to see our families for the holiday. There will be days that we won t have anything to do. So any suggestions? Child and teenager oriented. Thank you in advance. (:

Well...in front of the Bellagio, there are fountains. This time of year, the dancing fountain shows are programmed to Christmas music. (If you like to walk around, you could do that at night before returning to your hotel room).You could go shopping in the outlets, see a show, or go to the arcade...?

Christmas related things:Sunset Park has a drive through light decorationsMagical Forest by Opportunity Village = It s the annual fundraiser for a handicapped children s program. But not solely for handicapped children Your hotel should know more about this; it s very BIG in Vegas. Springs Nature Preserve has special holiday programs.You should also go to the Pinball Hall of Fame (corner of Pecos and Tropicana). Obviously, it s not holiday related, but it s fun for all ages. It s an arcade filled with working pinball machines from all eras. You pay for the games, there is no entrance fee.

If you have a car, get out of town and see some of the desert. Red Rock Canyon is beautiful, you can drive the loop and never get out of the car, or stop at the scenic overlooks, or hike the trails. Whatever you want.Mt. Charleston is sure to have snow. There s snow up there right now. It snowed today and it s probably snowing right now.

There are lots of activities in Vegas for kids and some really great kid friendly shows. Here are some activities. http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/entertain��

What do accents from connecticut in the usa sound like? -

im from connecticut and i got a uk account by accident but i want to know if i have an accent???

I live in Salt Lake City but grew up in Stamford, CT. I m always told here that I have an Eastern sounding accent, but people don t always guess Connecticut. Stamford is close to NYC, so there is a slight New Yorkish accent, but not as strong. I have met people out here who have a heavy NY accent...mine is only slight.(p.s....you say you have an uk account ...did you mean an English accent?...I lived in Birmingham, AL for awhile and not everyone who spent their lifetime there had a strong Southern accents...so accents can be interesting. If you ve never been to England and have an English accent in CT...that s very interesting.)

Depends which end of CT you are from, If you live in the Northeast part of the state, you will have an accent similar to that of Bostonians, and if you live in the southwest part of the state, your accent will be more like that of New Yorkers. And in the middle, your accent will have elements of the two

See if you can identify any one on the list below and that should give you some idea.Apparently the Carpenters are from New Haven.
