Fremont Street Experience

Date Visited: 04/09 - Good Visit
I liked it. Unfortunately there was no scheule to be found so we didn't see the Queen music one that's advertised. We saw the dream video which was cute, but not what I really wanted. The street vendors are entertaining to walk thru & see what's happening. Good people watching as well. And the bands that were playing sounded good--people were dancing in the street.

Lion Habitat

Date Visited: 04/09
This was the BEST FREE thing we did! Got there right about 11 (the lions were just turned loose) & they were pretty active. 1 laid on the glass walkway playing which was cool to be underneath looking up. They were interacting with the handlers (playing with toys) & each other a little (2 lions were loose). But already after 10 minutes they were laying down & taking a snooze. I wasn't sure what to expect after the reviews here, but the lions don't live in some tiny 20x20 glass box. And they don't even live in it full time. It was very nice & clean & I thought the animals looked well taken care. Definitely see it, but make sure to get the timing right. Others have gone later & the lions are just napping.

Sirens of TI - Treasure Island

Date Visited: 04/09 - Undecided
The show was adult themed & had adult humor that wasn't appropriate for the young aged children present. Lots of booty slapping & shaking & boob references plus whipping the male pirates & tying them up. Perhaps that goes over the kid's heads though? We got there 30 minutes early (not hotel guests) & only got ok standing spots (on the risers along the road by the Siren ship). Couldn't really see the dancers faces, but could hear & get the gist of it. Unfortunately it was so crowded we had no choice but to stay for all of it. Having seen it once I won't be going back again.

As good as free shows get! This is what Vegas is all about. Im not an overly sappy or emotional person but i kinda got choked up during some of the performances. I cant believe Im that lame!

Lion Habitat
      
Date Visited: 07/07 - Good Visit
Certainly not the best entertainment you can find on the strip but still pretty cool. It is not very big but it is not as bad as a few of the posters on this site have commented.

Madame Tussaud's Las Vegas
      
Date Visited: 07/07 - Good Visit
Me and my group had a great time posing with all the statues. Like others have said, its kind of hit or miss with the quality but still fun. The haunted high school area was great and the guy that gets "possessed" at the very beginning was great. Be sure to get a coupon (2 for 1 or $4 off) because it certainly is not worth the full admission price.

Stratosphere Tower
      
Date Visited: 07/07 - Good Visit
Nice view of the strip and crazy thrill rides on top! Me and my group were kinda freaked out by a crack in the glass on the observation deck. I really hope they get that fixed lol.

Sirens of TI - Treasure Island
      
Date Visited: 07/07 - Good Visit
I definitely feel like this show was good considering the price tag (i.e. free). Of course it was kind of cheesy and not exactly appropriate for children but the fireworks and pyrotechnics were kind of cool and since we were staying at the T.I. we got front row access to the show. Overall pretty decent for a free show on the strip.

Lion Habitat
      
Date Visited: 02/09 - Good Visit
I can't believe grown adults are so naive to think that there is a huge habitat as big as the casino for the lions. Vegas is not a zoo, it's an entertainment capital with each hotel offering a different theme. Vegas is the type of place where you never know what you're going to see, and the city thrives on the "wow" factor. If the MGM lion habitat is a form of abuse, then we should ask that the Bellagio fountains be turned off too because birds may fly through the shots of water, and tiny micro-organisms living in the water are being thrown mercilessly into the air! The lions are housed in a large glass environment and yes, they are on display, but are taken out at night. Reading the previous posts, make it sound like it's a tiny glass "cage" where they can barely move around. People, the glass habitat they are in, is probably upwards of 30 feet high with a waterfall, vegetation, caves, etc. The trainers are in there all the time petting them, playing with them, feeding them, etc. We can't just let the lions go in the desert because then you wouldn't be able to view Red Rock Canyon and Hoover Dam without being savagely mauled to death!

Neon Museum
            
Date Visited: 06/07 - Good Visit
Would highly recommend this. All donations for entry to the museum help to purchase and restore some of our old favourites. It's lovely to see the Silver Slipper and some of the old Caesar's and Stardust signs. Even the Treasure Island pirates are in there. Coming from Scotland I especially liked seeing the Tam O'Shanter and, until I had seen it there, I hadn't even realised it was gone from the Strip! Shocking considering I visit Vegas every year!

Madame Tussaud's Las Vegas
      
Date Visited: 06/08
I thought this was great fun. I've been a few times and some of the waxworks change from year to year. Very interactive. Dress up in a wedding dress (be you male or female! he he) and marry George clooney. Get the bunny ears on and pose in the bed with Hugh Hefner. Touch J-Lo's behind and watch her cheeks glow. The horror cinema had me scared out of my wits - no thanks to a staff member who kept going into the dark areas and touching my head! Great fun and highly recommended for a couple of hours of laughter. As someone else suggested, get the $4 off coupon from the various magazines.

Hoover Dam
            
Date Visited: 06/08 - Good Visit
I visit Hoover Dam on every visit to Vegas. It's a fascinating place and the peace and quiet makes you forget that there's another world out there. I go with Look Tours and 'Uncle George', a lovely man who knows his stuff, (although once I went on the Hoot and Hoover Comedy Tour which was also fab - Joanie was hilarious and very knowledgeable). Uncle George from Look Tours recognised me from another year so it shows how personal these tours are. I'd HIGHLY recommend it. While you're there take the tour out onto Lake Mead with the Desert Princess. It's definitely worth your while!

Flamingo Wildlife Habitat

Date Visited: 06/08 - Good Visit
I love seeing all the animals in the Flamingo gardens (even if they are a bit smelly!) and it's lovely to see all those flamingos standing there on one leg! The African penguins aren't there now though. They went to a zoo in Texas around 3 years ago.

Atomic Testing Museum
            
Date Visited: 01/09 - Good Visit
Located just East of the Strip on Flamingo. Excellent & interesting, interactive museum depicting the development of nuclear arms. Well done with intelligent exhibits and video presentations. One can readily appreciate the difficulty that the museum creators had, walking the fine line between Pro Nuke & No Nukes. Don't miss this!

Awesome scenery! Much more to see than Red Rock Canyon. It is a nice side trip from the Vegas pace!

Red Rock Canyon
      
Date Visited: 01/08 - Good Visit
Nice change of pace from Vegas action. We enjoyed it, however if you have a bit more time, try driving through Fire of the Valley Park. It offers much more scenery to look at than Red Rock Canyon does.

Adventurdome Theme Park - Circus Circus
      
Date Visited: 12/07 - Undecided
Overrated as amusement parks go. Some attractions not suitable for the little ones making the choices of things to do limited. Concept is interesting but I wouldn't go out of my way to take anyone here unless they begged to go.

Sunset Stampede - Sam's Town
      
Date Visited: 12/07 - Good Visit
Cool indoor presentation. Loved the animatronics and water show. Would love to see it again at night with the lazer lights but it was nice during the day too. Nice experience for kids.

Breathtaking. Worth the drive. Don't miss it when in the Vegas area. Get out of the car and walk around and take in the beauty. Loved it.

Lake Mead National Recreation Area
      
Date Visited: 12/08 - Good Visit
The car trip from the strip was not too bad. The charge of $5 for a car to take the scenic road to the Lake was reasonable as you could see where the money was being spent (roads, rest areas, etc.). The views were magnificent although it is sad to see the Lake at such low levels. Didn't make as many stops along the way as we could have but we saw what we came to see and enjoyed it. Kids would probably not find it too interesting...the splendor would be lost on them.

Ethel M Chocolate Factory and Cactus Garden
      
Date Visited: 12/08 - Undecided
Day we showed up there was no candy production. You were directed through the corridor to the showroom where you had your choice of numerous, beautiful, grossly overpriced chocolate creations. A box of 4 cost us $7.50 only because my wife insisted. I would have walked right out. The cactus garden outside the main building was quite lovely and interesting. Even with the tour I think kids would be bored here and would find the M&M store on the strip much more to their liking. I wouldn't likely return here.

Fremont Street Experience
      
Date Visited: 11/08 - Undecided
I had been to Vegas twice before, but never watched the Fremont Experience. We stayed for two shows. The first one was "American Pie" by Don McClane - very good presentation and entertaining - people cheered at the end. However the 2nd one was complete Bu11sh1t - nothing but a 7 minute commercial for LG set to some crappy music - nothing but LG logo's flashing everywhere - people hated it and many even booed at the end. I wanted to see the Queen medley, but after the LG debacle, we watched the street band for a few minutes and left. It is something you should experience in Vegas at least once. I loved it (American Pie), then hated it (LG).

Las Vegas Springs Preserve

Date Visited: 11/08 - Undecided
It's very expensive to enter here to see everything so try to find a coupon as most people entering that day had some kind of coupon in hand. They've tried hard to make this into a great museum experience but it somewhat falls short, probably because it just costs so much for entry and so there are high expectations. Origin experience goes through the history of the LV valley area from ancient to modern. Desert living is about renewable energy and conservation. They were building a new Nevada state museum here but not open for another year or so. Overall I have mixed feelings on recommending this to people to visit. As for the trails, not really that exciting since this museum is in an urban area (don't be fooled) just has a lot of real estate. Opposite of the large Meadows shopping mall in case you're wondering.

Grand Canyon West
            
Date Visited: 11/08 - Bad Visit
Sucks. The Hualapai's are punishing the white man (granted, not all the visitors are even white, some are your native brothers!) by nickel and diming visitors big time. Lots and lots of false advertising going on with this tribe. Apparently they get away with this due to their immunity from various state laws. Avoid the skywalk at all costs -- it does NOT go over the grand canyon!! It goes over an adjacent side canyon and only a little bit , since 75% of it is just over a rock cropping cliff. Lame lame lame!

Fremont Street Experience
      
Date Visited: 11/08 - Bad Visit
Boring. Light show only for the easily amused. I'd rather sit back and watch the 10pm news on TV that go through that! Music can be very loud and is of poor selection so if you hate it, you run out like a bat out of h*ll; why force this on us? Some very shady characters lurking around despite police presence. Downtown just sucks.

Gilcrease Nature Sanctuary
      
Date Visited: 07/08 - Good Visit
I took my parents from Chicago here and they loved it. I am so happy to see that among the glitz and glamour of Vegas, there is still good natured places to take parents and children. There are over 2,000 birds and a great goat petting zoo. You can also see cows, camels, and more. Take the family or go with your significant other. This is a good date place for a change from the typical dinner/movie. As an outgoing young female, I would be impressed if a guy took me here. You can talk and get to know eachother.

The light show was unexpectedly nice, although the airplane theme was a little much if you're not into planes...
The night we were there a wonderful jazz saxophone player entertaind the crowd. He was was great. I regret not buying one of his CDs or noting his name so I can buy one now. I'd really like to know who he was.
