Nine Big Dumb Travel Experiences Everyone Should Try

Avatar

well some of that does sound fun! i don’t know what a lot of that is so I guess i’ll do some googling. I think Penn & Teller would be really cool and I like rollercoasters…and I like helicopter rides!....and I like those bellagio fountains cos of Oceans 11 *George clooney/Brad Pitt/Matt Damon swoooon*.

Probably wouldn’t do much shopping,if any…anything we buy would have to be carted around in the car we’re living in and home to oz not that long after….spose I could post stuff home sea mail, though!

I knew you were going to say that some of these things didn’t interest you!

But you seem to have go the point though - there are other things to do in Vegas!

Dark and I aren’t gamblers/party people so yeah we were there for the experiences.

We even got a limo to take us to a take away joint (In & Out Burger) LOL

The Outlets are really good for cheap shoes. Just unreal.

Oh and if you like rollercoasters/rides - head for the Stratosphere... I stayed away from this one!

yeah definitely. Blizz actually listed some other stuff to do that sounded kinda cool!

OOHH Blizz I just looked up that stratosphere link….they have a skyjump like I did from the skytower in auckland. I’m so fkn scared of heights and its only getting worse with age but I’d like to think I could still make myself do something like that again! Would be so fun to do it at night!
That one is 220m and the one in auckland is 192m….I’m getting nervous just thinking about it!...but I’d be determined not to be a big wussbag as I have no excuse!

The other things sounds insane, too!

It’s funny how most peoples perception of Vegas is gambling/partying/drinking. Ours was the same before we went and that changed very quickly smile

We want to go shooting while in Vegas but just couldnt fit it in our schedule!

The Coca Cola and M&M’s stores are awesome, Dark bought me a onesie from the coke store!

I have no desire to go to Vegas whatsoever, but Fred thinks we should on our transUSA trip next year…guess we’ll just have to wait and see for the outcome of that one…I guess I could drive through it maybe but not keen at all to drop any of my hard earned into that hell hole. It is pretty much everything I despise about the world in one place…

Your loss, that place is epic. And before you go on about how much of a “hell hole” it is, i suggest you check it out and see for yourself what the real vegas is about. Its not all gambling, strip clubs and all night partying.


On topic, i have done 2 of the things on the list. almost did 3 but she chickened out.

Just that bus trip one. Don’t care for the others, either, except for going to Africa.

It is pretty much everything I despise about the world in one place….Actually monaco might be worse? but at least Monaco is in a beautiful location. Maybe Vegas is fun when you get there, but I’d rather spend my time and money doing other things instead….Like going to Yellowstone or Yosemite!

I agree Cords I despised Vegas when I was there, I dunno if it’s because I traveled with the wrong crowd or what but it was all prostitution, gambling and booze. And so showy! It’s my least favourite place Ive been to in the US.

Did you go with Deano???

hahaha

Haha out of those 3 mentioned, i only partook in one. Drinking!

I never paid for sex, i should be the one being paid cool smirk

I’ve done 3. Close to having done a couple more.

This is hilarious!!

Everyone who wont admit what they have done have totally done the sex in the doom!

LOL

Fark it - the only two I haven’t done are Ocktoberfest and the Thai Island!

And hell I have even done the dorm room a couple of times in different countries red face

There were never other people in the room at the actually time but the high risk factor is what made it more fun!!
