[johnnycharger]

Visit the fremont st experience at night lots of interesting sites. Antique Alley on main st has some cool stores also

[johnnycharger]

Thanks larmstrong. We were planning on the Fremont experience  because I havent seen it yet but I have not heard about Antique alley..

[tsmithae]

Cirque du Soleil puts on a very good show, wish I had more time when I was last there, I missed Fremont St and from what I hear Old Vegas is cool.

[twodko]

Hey hey hey! Happy anniversary youse two!

Def see Cirque and see the Blue Man Group if there's a show.

Call if you need bail money........I've got Julie covered.

[johnnycharger]

Old Vegas is on the list. We are still looking into what shows because so many look good.....
You kill me Tom!

The Bunny Ranch

[mrsskip68]

Red rock road trip. You can get out and explore. There is a visitors center thats really cool. Its beautiful. But bring a coat its cold. Mt. Charleston ski resort is lovely. There is snow now, but i dont think chains are required yet! If you go to Fremont experience, put your wallet by your privates. Pick pockets are busy lately.

Shania Twain is in town!!

[johnnycharger]

Thanks for the suggestions!  I googled red rock and it looks cool.
No bunny ranch for me...not my style

[mrsskip68]

Make sure you take your wife to Bellagio for the fountain show. Also after it gets to a certain time, Treasure Island does a lil more risque pirate fight ! 

[johnnycharger]

Thanks! The Bellagio and Treasure island look like definite sites to see.
We will be driving down there from Nor Cal. Taking the "fuel efficient" Mopar!

Here are few more things to do, I haven't been to the mob museum yet but I have been to the pinball hall of fame and it has alot of the video games I grew up playing there. Also out at the Speedway during the end of november and through december they have a pretty decent setup of christmas lights surrounding the racetrack.

[mrsskip68]

Thought i heard the Mob Museum closed down due to lack of funds and location?

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Ill be there the day after Christmas for mine & the wife's 20th wedding anniversary! Staying at the Bellagio this time.   We went with the kids about 3 years ago & had a blast.  But it was in the middle of summer & the temps were 110º+!!

Got to do Red Rock as well as the Hoover Dam.  Didnt get to do old Vegas so thats on the list this time....

We saw the Chris Angel magic show at the Luxor and it was pretty cool also

[Mopar Nut]

Isn't Mopar on the strip down there too?

[johnnycharger]

Cool ideas.  The Mob Museum seems to be having an event on the 5th so that could be fun.
Congratulations on your upcoming anniversary Just6t9!

[mrsskip68]

Isn't Mopar on the strip down there too?

Its here, just not on the strip. Its at the speedway. And its in the spring.

[chargerbr549]

Another idea is the Atomic musuem which isn't too far off the strip, http://www.nationalatomictestingmuseum.org/

The mopars at the strip is April 11-13th, good time just make sure you bring warm clothes to wear it's usually cold that weekend!

Mr. Skip strongly recommends the Thunder from Down Under show...

Ewwww! 

[johnnycharger]

Haha! That is just wrong!

[johnnycharger]

Thank you all for the great suggestions!We didn't get to see it all but we had fun.Hoover was great and the view at Red rock Canyon was amazing. Even got to see some Nascar drivers doing donuts on the strip.

[twodko]

Julie must have been pissed with that car in every shot! Glad you made it back......and didn't call me for bail money!   

[johnnycharger]

Haha! You are funny Tom! she was in the car for all those pictures but it was freezing out. The good pics of us are too hi-res. I can't get them to post on here

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Chive on!

[johnnycharger]

A fellow Chiver on the board? Awesome! 

[twodko]

I speak fluent "Chive". Sorta like Barbara Billingsly did in "Airplane". 

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

LOL. This site is almost as good as the Chive.

How was the weather there?

[johnnycharger]

Haha Tom! Its Chive not jive!
It is possibly the best site in the world!

The weather was very cold. A bit of a shame as it doesn't feel right to go there and not have any pool time...

[mrsskip68]

Yeah, its flippin cold here. Freeze warnings for the last week. We are not used to this, and im too little for this cold weather.

[larmstrong11]

Cold there ?
I'm headed back to Vegas on the 8 th, its cold here in New York. Cant wait for M.A.T.S. even though it seems like its always windy and cold that weekend, seeing all the mopars and the events makes it worth going. Hope to someday get my nightmare jinxed 70 charger out there. Happy new years to all

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Came back yesterday.  temps in the mid 60's during the day.  not bad at all

[johnnycharger]

The freeze spell that we had in Nor-Cal has passed.  I would think it has in Vegas also.
