Las Vegas Bound?

    I was recently talking to a young lady who works at the local store in my area. She was headed to Las Vegas to celebrate her 21st birthday. A ton of places came to mind at once. I advised her of many of the stores, restaurants, and simply the sights themselves. I told her that the Vegas Strip each has a hotel with a different theme. Even if you're not a gambler, which I'm not, there's a lot to do. You can have breakfast in New York, lunch in Luxor, and dinner in Paris...  On the Vegas Strip, that is. Not to mention the shows, concerts, magic shows, comedy shows, etc.  I told this young lady, of course, you won't get to see everything in one trip.  At times the Las Vegas Strip feels like a theme park. Other times, it feel like an endless mall full of shops and restaurants.
   Starting at the end of the strip, there's Mandalay Bay. It's a beach themed hotel which actually has it's own beach. It has an aquarium, elegant shops at Mandalay Place, and a delightful buffet.
   Luxor allows you to experience the ancient Sphinx and the Pyramids while enjoying the modern amenities of Las Vegas.
   Excalibur creates an atmosphere of Medieval times. Yet, with McDonalds and Krispy Kreme in the food court, and a whole floor of skee ball, video games, it feels a little less like Vegas and a lot more family friendly.    

    Thanks for reading, please stop by again, as there's a  lot more.
