Going to Vegas...

Looking for some wholesome fun. I'm going with my wife on June 4-8 (via plane). Not much of a gambler so what we're after are shows, restaurants, shopping, sights and sounds... the whole shenanigans.We're staying at the Golden Nugget Lush Tower.

thats the Rush Tower at the Golden Nugget (you will love the nugget) - for red rocks canyon its about 25 miles or so from the hotel and I suggest you would get a rental car for the day for that--there is a budget rental car center on site at the nugget and you would do yourself a favor by going ahead and securing the reservation for the car- they usually only keep a dozen or so cars on site and have seen/heard of folks not being able to walk up and get a car at the counter without previous arrangements--check out Gordie Brown in the Nugget showroom,,the dining is fantastic on site (Vic & Anthonys,,Grotto,,Chart House,,Lillies) are all top notch- and for a quick rush take a ride down the zip line on fremont street - enjoy your time and dont forget to go ahead and secure that ride

Thanks for the input nc1capper.

I would highly recommend a trip to red rock canyon. If you do that you should check out spring mountain ranch as well. It was a working ranch at one time, late 1800's I believe, and was later owned by Howard Hughes. It is about 3 miles away from the exit of Red Rock Canyon and offers some beautiful scenery.. If you are really into hiking, and don't mind renting a car, head up to Mt Charleston ( 45 min by car). MC is a world away from Vegas and offers some great hikes. I liked the Cathedral Rock trail there.

I had a 15% off coupon from the gift book and brought the cost in at 171 for 3 days- mid size- make sure and stop by red rocks casino on the way back in from the canyons - real nice lunch buffet and a great rate but always packed--food court is loaded with nice selections with no crowds

cant speak on the virtues of carrot top - gordie is really good tho and right on the site,, pretty easy to get a freebie for this one if you are rolling a bit as prices are in the 50 dollar range for good seats- save yourself the travel time and cost of running off to see carrot and kick back at The Nugget and enjoy the humor of Gordie Brown

I might be in the minority but I truely just enjoy walking up and down the strip, checking out the shopping options, people watching and checking out the free entertainment (i.e. Bellagio Fountains, TI Pirate Ship Show, Rio's Masquerade in the Sky) and of course since you are downtown already check out Freemont Street.  BOL!

if you want both silly and funny check out carrot top.  if you enjoy comedy with magic and somejokes that are from out in left field check out amazing jonathan.   he is AWESOME    i lived in Las Vegas for 26 yeras so i might be able to get some discounts for you.   no tip is needed.   contact me on here or call or text me at *edited*
