So your thinking about going to Las Vegas to gamble. Well here’s a  blog on where to go and where the best place to gamble is. To the left is a map of Vegas.

There are hundreds of shows in Vegas and I would be surprised if any one has seen them all. But you can assume top variety performers will find their way to Sin City. Here is the top 3 shows to see in Vegas.

“O” Cirque Du Soleil The Bellagio’s pride and joy, this is the best of the Cirque’s shows. Its based on a stage that can be flooded to a considerable depth, so the acrobatics are spectacular with muscled loonies flying in all directions.

Blue Man Group They were based in the Luxor Casino but they moved to the Venetian Casino, but the madcap humor is still there, and they are pretty good percussionists.

David Copperfield He plays at the MGM Grand, If you can ignore  his mix of self-deprecating humor and classic showmanship, when he gets to the magic, he makes the show genuinely astounding

After visiting the many Casinos and various clubs You might want to check out some of the fun and games that’s about. Heres my top 3

Gun Store This is the most fun you’ll have had in a long time, renting out machine guns, under the eyes of a trained instructor, going berserk at paper targets. They also have a variety of other guns such as, AK-47, to the world war classics like the Stern. Warning do not attempt this while drunk or hangover!

Grand Canyon The canyon is the most astounding thing you’ll ever see in your life. I defy anyone not to be impressed. The best way to see it isn’t the helicopter trip from Vegas, because you don’t go far enough into the canyon and it’s not so impressive from inside either. The best thing to do is get a rental car and make the 4-6 hour drive to south rim, and just stare like an idiot.

Indoor Skydiving This is a short way from the strip you’ll have seen this on TV. simply put, you don a baggy flight suit and float over a massive and very scary fan type contraption. Which when it’s cranked up will suspend you in mid-air. It’s a real rush and will blow away the cobwebs no problem.

Summer Side Action

Every summer Las Vegas holds various tournaments in Poker, Roulette but Vegas is most notable for its Poker tournaments. Such as The Venetian Deep Stack, Golden Nugget Grand Poker Series, Binion’s Classic, Caesars Palace Mega Stack Series, and not forgetting the two biggest tournaments in the world which are The WPT, and The WSOP.
