Las Vegas for the Family

Who doesn't want to take a fall vacation. But with so many options open, it becomes a task to narrow down our choices and hit the nail on its head! If you're cooking up weird ideas, stop for a while and consider what I have to say. Please! Las Vegas might not be on your list, but I have a great Vegas idea.

True, Vegas is synymous with uninhibited hedonic indulgence, however, it could be a treat for the kids this December.

With the National Rodeo Finals getting underway from December 6-15, the whole family will have fun experiencing professional rodeo at its sublime heights! Vegas is never this much of a cowboy heaven as it is during this time. If you don't believe me, check it yourself- all the roping, riding, bucking, racing and wrestling at the Thomas and Mack Center will assault your senses.

Vegas Strip to be a Passe, But not Before 10 Years

You heard it right. The Las Veas Strip is soon going to loose its charm, if Steve Wynn goes ahead with his intention of building a gigantic hotel casino complex just a few miles northwest of the famous Strip.

Casting shadows on everything around, the Wynn's envisioned casino complex will cover nearly 823,000 acres and accommodate...hold your breathe...over 6 million guests!!!!

Tentatively named "The World - Las Vegas," construction is expected to start this fall and the first of 16 phases is scheduled to be completed by January 2015.
