went to check the south rim of grand canyon(so it was driving the road of nevada to arizona) and it was freezing.
even the dry land desert of arizona was experiencing chilly wind.
grand canyon was covered with snow.
cold....

Just find a sports bar or go to the ESPN Zone in NYNY. Not sure if they'll show it on the huge screen - you might be able to catch it on the smaller side screens...

New York New York and MGM grand have sports bar/book section if you are in southern strip
Caesars Palace, A bar in between of Casino Royale and Imperial Palace, and Mirage have both Sports section if you are in the middle of the strip
WYNN has a really good comfortable doesnt smell smoke to watch hockey if you are in north strip.
If outside the strip, RIO has a good sports section too.
ANYWAYS, Hilton was the best sports book place I have been in Vegas. It was sooooo big and they have more than 20 large big screen monitors when I was watching the games especial NFL.
from what I have heard, hilton is the biggest sports book in the world.

I almost fell asleep in the beginning (maybe because I was so tired that day) but it was kind of interesting in the end.
The characters dont talk or say words.
Costumes are terrific.
Story is so typical.
It can be funny a little bit.
SETTING, STAGE, LIGHTS, MUSIC ARE ALL GREAT>

Unlike the other shows, it is very story oriented, with less spectacular acrobatics.

so i ended up seeing KA on Saturday the 29th and it was pretty good, it had its sleeper moments but overall it was pretty enjoyable. whatever you do though, do not see david copperfield unless you are a big big fan. imo biggest waste of money.
even though we got discounted tickets (72 from 97) totally not worth it. we went on a whim and i left disappointed. the show was only 1hr n maybe 10 mins, he did maybe 4-5 sets, then showed some video about himself doing another trick which was like 5 mins long. then his intro was all these clips of tv shows and movies that mention his name or mention something about him (super huge ego i assume). overall, not worth it, i saw magic shows for like 30 bucks that were more entertaining.

| wow talk about a difference a few years make ... i was in vegas i think 3 year ago for new years ... quite possibly the worst non-event i've never went to ... ppl lined up outside on the strip ... and when it struck 12 ... NOTHING happened ... literally nothing ... and then everyone eventually started to walk back to their hotels ...

The second time was this past October, and my flight was delayed by more than two hours! By the time we left Bellingham we were already supposed to be landing in Vegas. But hey, every airline has delays, no biggie. The flight attendants were friendly, no real complaints. I would definately fly with them again.

Also longterm parking at bellingham airport is like $5/day. Which wasnt too bad, and ive used allegiant air twice as well and no delays yet! if you are really trying to save money; look into allegiant air, less waiting at airport since the airport is so damn small.
