Q: How long does it take to go from
Los Angeles to Las Vegas?
A: This is a short journey. You may
leave Los Angeles about 7.30-8am and will arrive in Las Vegas around
12 – 1pm. You will make a rest stop at some point, to get food and
use the ATM.
Q: What happens when you arrive in
Las Vegas with Contiki?
A:
This depends on the tour, if you are with the grand southern, you
will get to Las Vegas about 1pm, but it will be too early to check
in. Your tour manager will tell you what time to meet back at the
coach, (which is parked at the hotel parking lot area). From here it
is free time. You walk through the hotel onto the casino floor and
out onto the strip. A few hours later head back to the coach, get
your luggage and head up to the your room that the tour manager has organized for you. You have a few hours to rest before the night
activities begin. This is the driving tour, dinner, Fremont street
and bars and clubs. If on the grand northern, you will arrive in
Vegas in time to check in, so head straight to the room.
Q: Contiki offers the services of a
club promoter in Las Vegas, is this any good or is it worth it?
A:
When you get to Las Vegas, your tour manager will tell you that
contiki gets the services of a club promoter and it will cost $10 per
night for this service. Basically the club promoter will get you into
the club without waiting in line, girls may get a free drink and that
is all. The club promoter may hang around, but once inside, you are
by yourself. Also you may get to go to a pool party the next day.
What is the club?, this depends on the promoter, it may be good or it
may be crap. Try and find out what the clubs are, if you know your
clubs, but at least go to a club one night while you are there.
Q:
What happens on the Vegas limo rides?
A:
When Contiki visits Las Vegas, you are treated to a limo ride in the
city. This usually happens on the second night. What happens is that
you get into groups of 6 – 8 and get into a limo. There is free
champaign bottles and glasses. You are driven on the strip and may
make a stop at the sign for a picture opp. The ride ends at the club
you will be going to. It is just a fun way of seeing vegas, although
you are more into having fun then seeing outside the window.
Q:
How easy is it to see the Welcome to Las Vegas sign?
A:
It is on the road out of town. Your coach may stop here for a group
picture or just stop here because of the sign. If you are on limo
rides, they may go past it. All you need to do is take a picture.
Q:
What is there to do during my free time in Las vegas?
A:
You can visit the casinos – see the various attractions inside
them, from the aquarium, to shows to restaurants, go gambling, go
shooting, do day tours outside the city, explore the strip, visit
various shops or just relax with a drink or two.
Q:
In Las Vegas what are some tips on drinking and gambling?
A:
To gamble in Las vegas, go in with the mindset that you are going to
loose. Some of the cheaper table games are in the old part or some of
the older casinos on the strip. When playing at poker machines or on
the table you can also get drinks for free – just a tip is needed.
Go up to any bar and essentially get what ever drink you want. Drinks
in clubs will be expensive, but in casino bars they will be cheaper.

In Las vegas can you hang out in casinos if you are not drinking or
gambling?
A:
Sure, there are plenty of other things to do in these casinos. Just
walking around a casino is fun.
Q: What types of casinos are there
in Vegas?
A:
There are the big fancy ones that everyone knows about – caesars,
mgm, new york, paris, luxor, these have attraction inside them
including shows, then there are the ones in old town vegas. These
ones are smaller and cheaper to gamble at.
Q: In Las vegas, what is Harrahs
hotel like?
A:
The hotel is large, but not as large as others on the strip. The
hotel smells of smoke. The rooms are nice, but the hotel doesn't have
much in the way of offerings. There are also not many restaurants in
the hotel itself.
Q: Can i go to
a shooting gallery in Las vegas?
A:
Yes, there are plenty to choose from, where you can shoot a huge
range of weapons at good prices. The best one is battlefield vegas,
they also send out a car or limo to pick you up from your hotel.
Q: What is old
vegas like?
A:
Old vegas is not as flashy as the new areas, the casinos are smaller,
but there is more atmosphere. There is lots of street entertainment
and the freemont street exhibition is here. The tables are also
cheaper as well.

at 8am, you will not get to Las vegas until 3 – 4pm.
Q: In Vegas,
is there any difference between the grand southern and grand
Northern?
A:
The only difference is that in the grand southern you arrive early
and leave early, Grand northern you arrive late and leave late. There
are the same optionals (depending on time of year), same hotel, same
inclusions etc.

vegas, what do you do about tipping in the casinos.
