I think the craziest thing I did in Las Vegas was attend BlogWorld and PostieCon by myself. Crazy, because I am a stay at home mom who hates flying and hasn’t done anything alone in years. However, it was awesome. I got to meet a ton of my online friends and got to network with a ton of people. I also learned a lot. I even got to shake Mark Cuban’s hand. I know it doesn’t sound all that crazy, but for me, it is. That being said, I now find a list from Trusted Tours & Attractions of things to do in Las Vegas. They are not all wild and crazy, but they are definitely fun. Heck, if you are willing to travel, you can even set up an Alcatraz tour .
I wouldn’t say Vegas is too family friendly, so if you are looking for some family vacation ideas, you should definitely sign up for the Trusted Travels eNewsletter newsletter. If you do, they have a contest that you can win an IPOD Nano! I know we are trying to figure out where to take the kids next year. I don’t want too expensive, but I definitely want it to be fun!
That’s awesome. I wish I had been brave enough to go to PostieCon by myself. I know I really missed out.
It was hard. I was actually sick to my stomach the morning I was suppose to leave. However, after I made it on the plane by myself, I got over my fear and had a great time. Everybody was just as nice in person as they are online. You plan on going to Izeafest this year?
I don’t know yet. I want to, but it’s a big expense. I don’t make as much with paid blogging as I used to, so the extra cash isn’t really there. I know there’s still a lot of time to decide.
Next time you’re here, you should check out the Ethel M factory in Henderson. They have a nice tour, free samples and a great botanical cactus garden. Hoover Dam is pretty impressive too and its only a 40 minute drive from Vegas.
I attended the PubCon conference in Las Vegas this past December. Spent a lot time in meetings, but did get to meet many of my online friends that I have known for years.
I did not think Las Vegas is great for kids, maybe because I don’t gamble.
My family has always liked Disney World in Orlando Florida - you might consider that for your next family vacation.
