When people ask me "Where is my favourite place you have been" I normally give the answer of every place is good in its own way. This was until i went to Vegas. This is by far the most amazing city in the world!! The city is one big party 24 hours a day 7 days a week and there is something to suite everyone.

From all kinds of shows to themeparks &out there night life you can do as much or as little as u like in vegas. People are amazing in the casinos they have no idea what time it is and spend there whole time in them.

We stayed at the Hilton which is great and only a 5min monorail ride to the main strip or a 20 min walk. Vegas is the only place in the in the US where every one can just walk around drinking and doing what ever they want abd no one even thinks twice.

The best thing to do when you first get there or to get a feel of the place is to start at one end of the strip and work your way to the other, along here you will see lots of free live entertainment normally out side the hotels from pirates shooting each others boats with canons to water fountain shows (LOOK IN VIDEOS)

One of the highlights of vegas and the whole trip was seeing the Criss Angel Show, This show has no words for it, you gotta see it to belive it and then when you see it you still wont belive it!!

If your looking to see a show dont book your tickets direct or through your hotel,If you walk on the main strip you will see a heap of little stands called tixtonight where they sell last minute tickets half price or round abouts.. This includes the "Sold out shows"

The Grand canyon is about a 2 hour drive from vegas and is well worth it, there are plenty of day trips to differat parts of it but again book it through the stands on the street or you might end up paying a lot more or if you have the money about $300 will get you there by helicopter.

Due to the recession vegas is rebuilding which mean everything is really cheap at the moment, if traveling there go on to www.visitlas vegas.com or www.vegas.com where you will find really good deals on hotels tickets day trips etc for example we got the Hilton hotel for about $35 a night.

Bottom line you have to go to vegas there is no place like it!!
