Anonymous Coward User ID: 71368457 United States 05/01/2018 03:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yeah, this place is cool. Do the info tour at the Gift Shop bldg. Then drive the 13 mile loop around the park with plenty of places to stop and hike or watch the surroundings. Or drive out to Area 51 taking the extraterrestrial highway out to Rachel. Have lunch and a cocktail at the Little A'Le'Inn. They have rooms in adjacent trailers you can spend the night. Be aware the black mailbox is actually white, well at least it was when I was there in 2003. |

ReverendOD (OP) User ID: 64475283 United States 05/02/2018 09:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I get no enjoyment from gambling away my money and I've been to the strip multiple times hence why I'm looking for other stuff to do. I've been to the Hover Dam and The Grand Canyon. While the Racing stuff at VORE looks amazing and right up my alley its a bit out of my price range right now. I am a car guy so touring Welder Up or Counts Customs are a possibility. I'll check out some of the Arcades as well as some of the other suggestions given here. Our nights are pretty well planned out with her work gatherings and dinners. |
