| A Week in Las Vegas |
| If your trip to Las Vegas spans a week or more, there are plenty of sights to see beyond the glitz and glam of the Strip. Invest in a Las Vegas map and plan at least one or two outings beyond the Boulevard, downtown area, or wherever your hotel is located. Among the possibilities are bus and helicopter tours of Hoover Dam, the Grand Canyon, and Lake Mead. Give yourself anywhere from an afternoon to a full day for these trips.
Or, if sightseeing isn't your thing, stay local. There are plenty of fascinating experiences to be had right in the heart of town that don't involve gambling! Check out the Luxor's IMAX theater, ride the roller coaster at New York-New York, or spend an afternoon taking in the spectacle at the Fremont Street Experience. |

"You've decided you're going to Las Vegas. Great! But where should you stay? Your best bet is to pick up a Las Vegas hotel map and review all the hotel and hotel/casino options available to you. First, ask yourself how close to the Vegas action you want to be. If you want to be in the heart of the strip, choose from more than two dozen famous spots on Las Vegas Boulevard like Caesar's Palace, Bally's, and New York-New York. Just off the strip are plenty of other excellent choices like Hard Rock, Las Vegas Hilton, and Palms. Another option is to play on the strip, but stay downtown.

Golden Nugget and the Plaza. But the best hotel prices can only be found on i4Vegas.com" |
