    Getting around town

    Be prepared that taxi rides are always more expensive than you think they will be. Las Vegas taxi drivers are very good at adding to your trip. Keep an eye out on the route that is taken. We have had them add a few miles to the trip and go the slowest route possible.

    Want to get married in Vegas?

    The only requirement to get married in Las Vegas is a license. Nevada marriage licenses cost $60 and can be paid in cash, travelers check or money order, they do not take credit cards! You can pick up a marriage license at the Downtown Clark County Marriage Bureau, 201 Clark Ave, daily from 8am to midnight. You can say your vows at the Office of Civil Marriages or your preferred destination. The marriage license is good for one year.

      As an LA native, Vegas is right in my backyard! I think I can take for granted the very cool things there are to do there other than just casinos and clubs because of that reason. These look like great activites I think I'll try the Ethel M Barry Chocolate factory next time.

      Las Vegas is like Disney Land for adults. It's a magical place. When I hit the strip, I seriously feel like a cat looking at shiny things. I just stare for a while before I actually go anywhere!

      My husband and I watch Pawn Shop Stars all the time. This is on our bucket list to visit Las Vegas. I even asked my husband what else we could do besides gamble when we are there. He didn't know either. Thank You for posting all the fabulous places we could visit.

      I have never had the opportunity to visit Las Vegas, except as a layover in the airport. I was surprised how close the airport was to the strip. I think that these tips would be very helpful if and when I go to Vegas. Thank you for this great post! Very helpful.

      I love Las Vegas! The night light is so pretty. I also like going from one resort on The Strip to another, especially Bellagio's Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. They always change the theme, and it is always so whimsical. My Las Vegas tip: save some money but not eating at the hotel. There are so many great restaurant outside of The Strip.

      We're about driving distance (if we're crazy HAHA!) to Las Vegas now that we live in California. Though, with the cheap airline tickets here in the USA we could hop on a quick flight for about a hundred bucks to go here. I am definitely interested in checking it out while we live here in California for the next few years. Thanks for all the links to check out!
