I have seen the strip in movies, TV, and photos, but you really have to see it to believe it. There is so much to see that one trip is not enough. For people on a budget the strip is great due to the free shows. There is the Bellagio Fountains, Treasure Islands sinking ship, the volcano at the Mirage, and much more. Everywhere you look is a photo opportunity.

In the heart of Vegas, all the major sights and attractions are found on the strip, so, expect to be walking, over a cab or some other form of transportation. In the morning, the strip is quiet and empty, however, at night, it comes alive as buildings light up with neon lights flashing and blinking, and people are everywhere shuffling at fast speeds! At nearly every corner vendors with pamphlets hand out little cards advertising all sorts of businesses in the area, after a while this can get a little overwhelming. Still, we all found the strip VERY enjoyable at night. The entire scene is an overwhelming experience for the senses, something that must be experienced by everyone!

The closeness of the Jockey Club to all activities is its main drawing point for us. Convenient to all the hotels and casinos made it super easy to get to somewhere new each day of our visit.

The casinos in Vegas are always busy, no matter if it is 3 in the afternoon or 3 in the morning. The limits depend on the casino you visit. Limits will increase as it gets later. Attire will vary on the casino and the area of the casino.

The Las Vegas gambling scene really is what they advertise, with the glitz and the endless rows of slot machines. There really is something for everyone. Check it out and maybe you will hit the big one!!
