What are some fun things to do in Vegas besides gambling? -

hello Lyricmen: Melissa Paul listed some great places to see do (also at the Mandalay Bay the Loin King is playing great play saw it last week) Just wanted to add that some of your tour companies offer a night tour of the city with a guide well worth the $. Two companies I know offer a night tour are Grand Tours...(702)3685100..and Casino Tour Travel....Tele....(702)9465075. Another tour company you may want to look into for Horseback riding and off road ATV riding is....ATV Adventures..Tele....(702)3987729....have a GREAT TIME!!

Lot s of ideas already here but let me suggest a few that will cost you absolutely nothing. Any evening you can take in free shows along the Strip.Start at Treasure Island for their Sirens of TI show. It s pretty hokey but it s a lot of fun, just line up along Las Vegas Boulevard. Next, you move south along the Strip to the Mirage for the erupting volcano. It goes off every hour. Finally, you go south some more to Bellagio and its water show. The fountains dance to the music every 15 minutes after dark. They also dance during the day at the top and the bottom of the hour.Some of the other free fun things to do include: ?The huge aquarium at the Mirage. It s right behind the front desk.?The atrium at the Mirage is a tropical garden with hundreds of plants.?The fountain shows at Caesars Palace. There are moving statues.?The conservatory at Bellagio. It is just beyond the lobby and is changed regularly during the year. The lobby itself is a sight to see with its glass flowers across the ceiling.?The Show in the Sky at the Palms resort. Think Mardi Gras but the floats run on a track in the ceiling.You can also head downtown to Fremont Street. There every evening is the fantastic light and laser show called the Fremont Street experience. The light show is on the canopy over the street that has over 12 million lights.See to do for free. Check out this site for more ideas.http://www.smart-tourist.org/lasvegas/

Oh man -- there s SO much to do in Vegas besides gambling! There are shows events, music, dining, shopping, spas, sightseeing -- I could go on and on. I m working with VisitLasVegas.com -- I recommend that you check out the site and it s listings to see what else Vegas offers. When are you going to Vegas? One main thing I recommend that you check out is the new City Center. They have just finished building the bulk of it (it s opening up in pieces, so most of it is done). It s quite the sight to see -- definitely check it out while you re in town!Hope this helps. Enjoy your trip!

*Shop (Forum Shops at Caesars, Grand Canal Shops at Venetian, Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood, Fashion Show Mall near Treasure Island)*Secret Garden Dolphin Habitat at Mirage*Madamme Tussaud s Wax Museum at Venetian*Check out the view from the top of the Stratosphere - and the rides if you re daring!*Lion Exhibit at MGM*Shark Reef at Mandalay*Coaster and arcade at NYNY*Dueling piano bars at NYNY and Harrah s*Carnaval Court at Harrah s*See a show - there is a show for everyone in Vegas.

Come to Vegas enjoy the gambling, wild clubs, restaurants and shows. But before you leave you owe it to yourself to see the real Vegas that many visitors and we who live here know and love.

How much should i have to earn? -

see, i want to move to brooklyn (new york), but i need to know how much i need to earn (monthly), in order to have a comfortable life. (i want to study at a community college, and form a band).

I m going to have to beg to differ with PRC. You don t want to live upstate if you re trying to play in a band in the city. Nothing is worse than that long haul home after a late night gig and if you get a last minute booking in town, you can t take it because you probably won t be able to get there in time from Upstate (you didn t say if you were planning to have a car or not).If you share an apartment in Brooklyn, depending on the neighbourhood and how many people you share with, you could probably cut it with 1000 to 1500 a month. You won t be making much money from your band and least not at first anyway so you re going to have to get a job and compared to other states, they tax you to death in NYC...Federal, State, City taxes, then if you have benefits that s another chunk out of your check.This brings me to something only musicians will know about. With a job and school, you re not going to be left with much time to make the calls and do the footwork needed to book your band. With the competition here, you have to dedicate a lot of time to it especially if no one has ever heard of you and you don t have a following yet. It s not impossible, but it s not easy either. You re going to need to find band members who are willing to help with this if you want to gig regularly or find someone else who is willing to do it for you and they usually want to be paid. (No clue how much, I ve always done my own booking).It s just a lot of stuff to think about.

Good luck with your band! Depending on where you want to live, Upstate is much more affordable with access to the city. 3k/month will get you set up in some place nice for a basic place!

Is the Skullcandy headquaters open to the public in Utah and whats it like to live there? -

Don t tell me you want to move to Park City because your favorite headphones have a headquarters there?It s alright if you love snow and Mormons.

Searching for 6 long lost friends from scituate RI? -

Thier parents were Kaye and Pete Peterson or Morrison. We miss them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My whold family would be thrilled. Thank you.

Is there any sale or big sale the 16 of December through the 21th in Orlando, Florida? If so, where? -

I m going to Orlando, Florida on the 16th till the 22th....is there any sale on those days if u know? And where can u recommend me to go, so I can find good cheap clothes? Nice things..?!

If you visit websites for the Premium and Prime outlets they would post who would be having what kind of sale especially after Thanksgiving. I work at a Simon mall and I know our mall post sales on our website when the tenants let us become aware of it. I believe the Florida Mall is a Simon mall also. The Florida Mall also have coupon books for the stores in the mall at their Guest Services.

Indiana Jones is right, how would we know if there is a sale 5 weeks from now?? I recommend that you buy a newspaper when you get here and check the sale flyers. A good bet is the Florida Mall. They have hundreds of stores and usually good sales. It is usually cheaper than the Mall at Millenia, which is the other big mall in Orlando. The link below provides directions and even lists sales and offers. http://www.simon.com/mall/default.aspx?i��

you should go to the premium and prime outlet malls out on international drive. they have cheap designer clothes all year round. we go there every year when out there and always buy some fab stuff.

how is anyone supposed to know if there is a sale a month from now?!

First trip to San Francisco this December, a few questions i would like to ask? -

This is my first trip to San Francisco this December and i would like to ask1. What s the temperature and do i need a winter jacket?2. Where is a must go for tourist?3. Where to avoid?4. Are the tourist areas still safe when it s night?Best answer gets 10 points, thanks.

1.) You can reference the averages at most any weather site. The odds are it will be highs in the 50s, lows in the 40s, and somewhat rainy (though given how much rain we ve already gotten this year, during months we rarely get rain, it may very well be a constant downpour). You definitely won t need to dress like you re going to the Arctic, but layers and a jacket with a hood would be a good idea.2.) Fisherman s Wharf, Union Square, Chinatown, North Beach.3.) Fisherman s Wharf, Union Square, Chinatown (North Beach has its charm). ;) No, they re safe areas, just kinda gimmicky and stupid and no self-respecting local would spend time there (and please, as a tourist, don t go away thinking you ve seen the real San Francisco ... if you stick to those areas, you haven t... but yes, they have lots that appeals to tourists, so you should like them). Um, next to Union Square is the Tenderloin, which isn t actually bad but freaks people out. Just... don t get freaked out. Anywhere else is so far removed that, as a tourist doing touristy things, you don t even have to worry about because you won t be anywhere near them.4.) Yes. Fisherman s Wharf and North Beach, especially. In fact, they re actually NICE at night (the Wharf especially... no people!). Chinatown is fine. Union Square is fine, too... but again, it s next to a neighborhood many people are freaked out by... not dangerous, but a bit seedy at points. Lots of bars, clubs, and restaurants, though, so it s actually quite vibrant and safe to walk around.

Pack sweaters and long sleeve tops and take a jacket for the evenings as it gets cool. You definitely will not need shorts. Start with a cable car ride to the Wharf and walk along the wharf area from one end to the other. Great shopping, seafood places to eat, etc. Stop in at the Franciscan restaurant in the middle of the wharf for an appetizer and splendid view of the bay area. Drop in to the Buena Vista at the end of the Hyde/powell cable car for home made soup and an Irish Coffee plus another great view of the Bay area. Watch them turn the cable car in the turn-around at the end of the line--educational too. These ideas are for starters and you can expand from there.

Good answers above, and complete if you just want to get your fill of the famous tourist sites. I might also suggest, if you know someone who lives here, that you connect with them for a tour of areas that the locals know about; that aren t really tourist places, but have much more of the flavor of San Francisco. Like that fabulous Russian bakery on Geary Blvd., or the murals on Clarion Alley, or the view from Bernal Hill...

Q1. Temps in the low to mid 40 s at night mid 50 s during the day. It rains more in December than some other months. The trick to SF weather is layers. Don t leave your hotel without jacket, umbrella and sunglasses because you never know which two of those items you may need.Q2. Must Do San Francisco1. Ride a Cable Car, the only moving historical landmark in the world. Stop off at the Cable Car Barn at Washington and Mason to get a full understanding of this unique form of transportation. Riding the Powell Hyde line will allow you to see Lombard Street the famous crooked street.2. Visit Alcatraz, this former prison is the most popular destination in San Francisco. The bay cruise to and from the island will give you the opportunity to see the skyline from the water a unique perspective. During the height of tourist season it is wise to purchase tickets before you arrive as tours are often sold out days to a week in advance.http://www.alcatrazcruises.com3. Visit Coit Tower, Beautiful murals inside, impressive bay view from the tower or Pioneer Park at the base. Then descend Telegraph hill via the Filbert Steps on the East side of the park for a unique view of how folks on Telegraph Hill live, more beautiful bay views and the chance to hear and see the famous Parrots of Telegraph Hill.4. Golden Gate Bridge, not just a feat of engineering, this 1.7 mile span offers incredible views of The City, the bay and the Pacific ocean. Be sure to visit Ft. Point under the bridge for a different view of this San Francisco Icon.5. Explore Golden Gate Park, this large urban park can consume a whole day. The New Academy Science, Japanese Tea Garden, Deyoung Museum [American Art], the Arboretum, Bison Paddock, and Paddle boats are all worth a look and watch the sun go down over the Pacific over a drink or dinner at the Beach Chalet.6. Chinatown, the most densely populated portion of San Francisco offers the largest Chinese center for shopping, food and unique architecture found outside of Asia. The best place to buy souvenirs to take home to friends and family.7. North Beach, traditionally the Italian section of the city which has no beach but abounds in quaint shops, great restaurants and The City��s best coffee options. 8. Civic Center, the largest collection of Beaux Arts buildings in the US. Home to San Francisco City Hall, with a dome larger than the US Capital, the Asian Art Museum and the Modern San Francisco Library with its San Francisco History Room housing an eclectic collection of city artifacts and photographs.9. Buena Vista Gardens, this urban park is home to; the Museum of Modern Art the Museum of The African Diaspora, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Contemporary Jewish Museum, Cartoon Art Museum and the Metreon will keep you entertained for hours.10. Twin Peaks, see The City and the bay spread out at your feet. Especially captivating at night when the lights seem to go on for ever.Q3. Avoid Hunters Point, Bayview and certain blocks of the Mission. Otherwise the city is safe as long as you follow big city rules. Q4. Yes as long as you follow big city rules. If you are unsure of your destination take a cab to and from.
