I have been thinking about heading to Las Vegas again so……..

I thought it would be a good idea to see another show, I headed to youtube to get some ideas and I came across this video.

MYSTERE ?Cirque du Soleil

I forgot how much I loved this show and I haven't seen it for a few years now. I guess I better see if I can get tickets.

It seems like everything involving travel is starting to get expensive. Airlines are now charging for baggage and some of them even charge for a window seat. With the rising cost of fuels getting to and from Las Vegas is going to become interesting.

US Airways has cut its flights to and from Las Vegas by nearly half (from 141 flights down to 74) with more airlines sure to follow.

Here is some advice to help you save time and hassle when traveling to Sin City.

First off, it's Las Vegas and you do NOT need to bring everything and the kitchen sink. Seriously, travelling light through airports will save you time and now money. If you just have to have all that stuff one of the best piece of advice I can give you is use FedEx or UPS. With airlines now charging for baggage, you probably aren't going to pay anymore for courier PLUS the courier will take it right to your hotel. Another bonus is you actually get insurance on your luggage from a courier plus they can usually tell you Exactly where your bags are. Have you ever had an airline "misplace" your baggage? Trust me it's not a fun thing.

So with air travel costs rising to Sin City it is inevitible that the hotels are going to be coming up with some pretty amazing specials to fill their rooms. Keep your eyes open if you are planning to go soon as I will be publishing deals as they come across my desk.

I have been meaning to get back to this post for a while now but….sometime life happens.
Anyways, as you can tell it has been a hectic week and one of the things I and most Fathers need at the end of a long week is a good drink. So why not take your Dad on a good old fashioned pub crawl through Vegas?
Actually you may not want to use the word "old" this weekend and the word "pub" hardly applies to some of these place but you get the idea.
To say Las Vegas has a lot of bars is definitely a huge understatement… So to make things a little easier I decided to group this post according to drinks. So in no particular order here are the best places ( by drink) that you can take Dad.
Vodka
The Red Square at Mandalay Bay is amazing. Not only was it voted the best bar in America by Playboy it is known as the best vodka house in town. With over 200 vodkas, you are virtually guaranteed that they will have Dad's drink.
Wine
The Vox Lounge is my favorite. Not because they are going to have the largest wine list but.. because they offer the best wine with the least amount of snobbery possible. In fact, if you have an interest in wine they offer "classes" on Saturday that will help you learn more about wine and cuisine. Great place.
Beer
You can get a beer anywhere, so what you are looking for here is a beer drinking room. And I have not found a better place to drink a beer than a good pub. My favorite? Quinn's Irish Pub at the Green Valley Ranch Casino. They have great beer, a great band( Darby O'Gill and the Little People) and Wednesdays beer games.
Martini
The "it" drink for the new generation is martinis and they have become as popular as cocktails. The only problem? Most bars can't make a martini to save their life. Not so, at Firefly. They have some of the best bartenders in the world, so if you think there isn't a difference when it comes to a martini, I dare you to give them a try.
Scotch
Scotch is a drink that you acquire a taste for. A once you have it, you a very particular.Therefore, if Dad likes scotch you better make sure you can get his brands wherever you take him. Ironically enough the best place I know of is in a french place. Napoleon's Bar in the Paris offers an impressive list even by the most discerning scotch drinkers standards.

Trust me when I say you can get a drink ANYWHERE in Las Vegas, make sure you make father's day special and take Dad to one of the places I have mentioned.
