Las vegas daily fee rates? -

i was thinking of going to vegas. im picking to stay between t.i. harrah, flamingo or imperial.i found out that tresure island(t.i.) have a daily resort fee of 20$/day. can anyone help find out the other three daily fees please?? i cant find them. thanks soo much!!!

Flamingo is $10 a dayIP is $7 per dayHarrahs does not have any.Here is a page that has a list of who charges, what they charge and what the charges are for. Also has a list of hotels that do not charge.

That fee is standard. Internet is not encouraged because they want you to be in the casino, or a show, or club or restaurant. If you don t want internet, don t ask/pay for it

Flamingo has a resort fee of $10 plus tax per night. Not sure what Harrah s chargeshttp://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/flamingo.��

What Disney park is good for a 4 and a half year old girl? Hollywood studios or Epcot? -

we have been to the magic kingdom twice

both are good for a 4 year old hollywood studios is your best bet ,more to do.but epcot is a lot quieter

I agree with the other posts that say Disney s Hollywood Studios, and for the reasons listed above. There are more toddler-friendly attractions there - here I m thinking that the Muppet Vision 3-D, Voyage of The Little Mermaid, Toy Story Mania, Honey I Shrunk the Kids play area, the parades, character meets, and Playhouse Disney. And if your toddler likes the characters from Playhouse Disney, you can also do a character breakfast at Hollywood Vine. That s a good way to meet characters in a fairly low-key settingOh, and I must mention the benefits of visiting DHS over Epcot to you as a parent. Epcot is a MUCH bigger park and that means more walking. So I think DHS will be more manageable. I also suggest getting a stroller, even for a 4 1/2 year old. Again, there s a lot of walking, even in a smaller park. ;)I ve included a bunch of links for you to look through. I hope they help plan a strategy. Don t forget to take advantage of FastPass!

A child that age will definitely enjoy Hollywood Studios, more. Epcot tends to be geared towards older children. I have a 3 and 5 year old, we go almost every week, and about the only attraction they really want to do at Epcot is the Finding Nemo ride.Hollywood Studios has the Muppet Show, Pizza Planet from Toy Story, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, and my kids really enjoy the behind the scenes (Backlot) Tour. There s also the Tower of Terror (which my 5 year old has actually done) and the Lights, Motors, Action car stunt show that my kids love (but make sure to bring some type of ear protection, as it is very loud). There s also Jedi training and the Star Wars ride, Indiana Jones Stunt Show, the Playhouse Disney Live on Stage, and (one of the best rides at Disney) Toy Story Mania. There s much, much more for a child at Hollywood Studios. Hope you have a magical time!

How often is Highway 50 closed going from Sacramento to South Lake Tahoe, CA? -

We are going to Tahoe this weekend but we can t leave until tomorrow morning because my husband has to work tonight till midnight. I know there is a storm coming in tomorrow and they are calling for ridge gusts up to 100 MPH. I have chains but I am worried about them closing the roads anyway. Also how likely are the winds over Echo Summit to blow the van around? That hill looks scary when its sunny outside!

It really does not close all that often, that said they will hold traffic for avalanche control if the snow gets too heavy.Right now there are chain controls from Twin Bridges to Myers, which is not that far.This is supposed to be a warm storm so the snow level should remain above 5000 or so.Here is a link to Caltrans to get updated road information.http://www.dot.ca.gov/cgi-bin/roads.cgiYou can also call 1-800-427-7623 and get the same information.It is a pretty hairy drive going over the summit, just take your time and watch out for other idiots and you will be just fine.

Great I am glad to hear you had a safe trip Report Abuse

I hate this drive in the bad weather. Good luck to you. Take your time. I have been there when the road is closed and had to wait in line for it to open. Glad we were in our motorhome. Comfortable wait. If they close the roads, the CHP is anxious to get them back open when it is safe. Cal Trans has a road info hotline: 1-800.427.7623

I won t repeat the same info the others have already given, but there is really only 2 sections of that road I d imagine you would be nervous around generally, and they are both short lived. Just take it slow and enjoy the drive!
