Can I cross border to Mexico and return for new 90 day USA tourist visa? -

Hi. I m an Aussie, currently in the US under the 90 day tourist waiver scheme. I really want to stay longer. At the end of the 90 days, can I just go to Mexico for a week and then come back and get a new stamp for another 90 days tourist visa, or do I have to go to Canada?

Nope. Canada won t work either. You would have to return to Australia (or at least leave North America). You agreed to that when you traveled under the VWP.As per the US Embassy in Canberra:What if I enter on the Visa Waiver Program and then decide I want to stay longer than the 90 days?You cannot extend the time on the Visa Waiver Program. The 90 days also includes any time spent in Canada, Mexico and adjacent Islands. Therefore you cannot cross the border into these areas and then return for another 90 days. You can however ask for re-entry on the Visa Waiver Program if you have left the Continent.http://canberra.usembassy.gov/consular/v��

No. Generally, those visas are only good for 90 days out of 180. At least that s how the Schengen/European one works...pretty sure it s the same with US. It s too much like cheating. Try reading the information on your visa, before asking questions like this...it s all the same language, you know.

What are some good hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada? -

The Wynn is the most prestige hotel on the strip, but it is really expensive to rent a room there. However, if you have the money, it is totally worth it.If you want a cheaper quality hotel, I d say either The Excalibur or Mandalay Bay

It s hard to give a good answer, without knowing information like how much you want to pay.Some really nice, high-class, and expensive hotels include Wynn/Encore, Venetian/Palazzo, and Bellagio. Caesars ranks nearly up there with those hotels, but tends to be less expensive. It s very nice as well though.Some nice mid-range places include Mirage, MGM, NYNY, Treasure Island, and Mandalay Bay.Some good budget to low-mid-range places would be Harrah s, Bally s, Flamingo, Luxor, and Excalbur. All of those are nice places. I would avoid Stratosphere, Circus Circus, Sahara, and Riviera. Imperial Palace has a great location on the strip, but it s really not that nice of a place. It s clean enough, but old and run-down. Great rates though, and an awesome location.

The best hotels in Las Vegas are the large resorts on the Strip. Wynn, Encore, Bellagio, Palazzo, Venetian, and Mandalay Bay are typically rated well.

we always stay at the wynn and its superb !!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 we had one night at the trump hotel which was very dull, no atmosphre and one night in the palzzo - it was ok, room was good. we had a parlour suite in the wynn for 6 nights and it was amazing !!!!

Harrahs, Flamingo Ballys are nice, reasonable right in the middle of the strip

For sure. All the hotels on Strip are good. Best price recently was Excalibur

What is New Orleans like? -

British student who has recently been offered a place at Tulane and was interested in what New Orleans is really like as I have never been.Crime? Social Divisions? Good food? Sports? Job Opportunities? Quality of Life?Thanks

New Orleans is one of the world s special places and remains so even after Katrina devastated the city in 2005.To specifically answer your questions:Crime? New Orleans has a high murder rate because drug dealers are killing each other and the still-reduced population caused the rate to skyrocket (rate = population divided by crimes). It s a lot like the violence within the Yardie community in the UK. However, other crime is at or below the average for cities. Use very basic common sense + stay away from people who buy/sell/use crack cocaine and your chances of being the victim of anything worse than a parking ticket or hangover are very low.Social Divisions? African Americans are still disadvantaged but New Orleans was never as bad as most of the South and there has been enormous progress since the civil rights acts of the 1960s. In many ways, the Black/White conflict today is the self-serving belief among some community leaders that Blacks should now be able to discriminate against Whites. Basically a return to segregation, but with Blacks in charge. The rhetoric can be found in the public discussions regarding who should be the next Mayor (election next February). This is the New Orleans daily newspaper: http://www.nola.com/Good food? Oh, yeah - and all types. Bad restaurants simply don t survive in New Orleans.Sports? Mostly American. Baseball, basketball, US football. There are sports bars with multiple screens that will show European football on request - if you can deal with the time difference. An example near Tulane is Cooter Brown s: http://www.cooterbrowns.com/main.html If you mean personal sports, there is hunting, fishing, boating, canoeing, hiking, etc. nearby. Job Opportunities?New Orleans was not hit as badly by the current recession as many cities. International students can legally work, and you should be able to find a job. However, talk to the university about options and make sure you don t violate the visa requirements. Quality of Life?The city and metro area are still recovering from Katrina, and the process will take more years. Realize that Katrina was the worst natural disaster in US history and turned 90,000 square miles (an area larger than the UK) into a rubbish heap overnight. More buildings were destroyed in New Orleans alone (a small part of the disaster area) on the morning of August 29, 2005 than were destroyed in London by German bombs/rockets during all of WWII (the death toll in London was of course far, far higher). Fortunately, the historic parts of the city were all built on high ground and didn t flood. There has also been huge progress in the past 4 years and most of the metro area now looks like Katrina never happened. In practical terms, the city metro area are operating normally. Utilities like electricity/water/phone and city services like police/fire/ems/sanitation were all problematic in 2005-2006 but are back to normal. The area s entertainment industry has also recovered.The weather may be a factor for you. New Orleans has mild winters and the city stays green all year most years (rarely freezes and almost never snows). We pay for the nice winters with brutally hot humid summers (May to October). Most people love New Orleans but not all. I hope you like it!

San Francisco cheap car rental for Xmas holidays. It looks os expensive..? -

I am vacationing from Dec25-29 at SF, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite. When I looked for rental cars from SFO airport, its 35$ per day. Right now, for next week end (Dec5) I can see last minute deals from SFO at around 20$ per day. Is it going to go down by that time or is it in 30 s during holidays at SFO airport? Any suggestions to rent cars from 25-29 in a cheap price is appreciated.Thank you

Car rentals in most cities are $60, $70 and even $80 per day. Sometimes even $100. Good luck finding anything cheaper. BTW, if you want to go to Tahoe, frequently chains are required (and cost extra). Do yourself a favor and enjoy the no snow winters of SF. Inside SF, no car is needed especially if you are on vacation.

Not going to happen during the holidays in San Francisco,or any other time.Sorry.

It will only go up the closer to the date you get. $35 is actually a pretty good deal for a holiday daily rate.
