Seriously, if you are thinking of getting married in the Wedding Capital of the world, look no further. It’s very unusual for me to not look at reviews before doing something, however I fortunately made the correct choice. I basically googled wedding providers for a couple of hours and really don’t know when I clicked on this one. The options that were available and pricing that was great, really appealed to me being an international traveller (especially when the AUD$ sucks so much to the green back). I did a web chat with someone on line and they were a great help. Once I was ready to go ahead with the booking, they rang me straight away via WhatsApp. So far it was easy, what could go wrong??? Wedding day came, and everyone from the limo driver, the hair/markup artist, pastor, photographer and even the lovely lady that helped us with our wedding attire (my apologies, I have forgotten your names, but you all ROCK!!!), were an absolute dream to deal with. So friendly. So helpful. I really couldn’t have asked for a better day!!! Please, if you are looking at tying the knot or renewing your vows, don’t look any further. See you guys in 10 years for our vows renewal.

Just returned from a trip to Las Vegas and by far the highlight of my trip was visiting Wayne Newton's Casa de Shenandoah! For so many years, I have driven by Shenandoah on our way to other places and I always wondered what it would look on the other side of that gate but... never could I have imagined how beautiful it really is! I've been going to Vegas since the 80's and have been a fan of Wayne's for many years, he's such a great ambassador for Las Vegas! We spent several Christmases in Vegas and I remember how the local news would show Wayne standing at the front door of his home wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and now here I was standing in front of that same door about to enter Wayne's house! What?? I could hardly believe it!! Anyone who loves Las Vegas knows the impact that Wayne Newton has had on Vegas, many a tourists have come here just to see Wayne! It's such a treat and an honor to visit Casa de Shenandoah! Our tour guide, Janet, was so personable and informative and just made the whole tour so much fun! She was so knowledgeable and enlightened us with some stories of Wayne and his family. I've always been a fan of Wayne Newton's, and always thought he was such a humble man, but visiting his museum and home just made me realize how real and kind this man is. His home is filled with priceless art and antiques and although it's very beautiful, it's also very clear that it was a family home too. It does not look sterile and untouchable, instead it's very inviting and it looks lived in and filled with love. There are so many personal touches, including family photographs. The grounds to Shenandoah are breathtaking... you really cannot believe this much green grass and trees are in the middle of a desert! Wayne's Arabian horses are amazing to see! They are so beautiful! It was such a treat to see all the other animals on the ranch too, including exotic birds, wallabees, donkey, pony and of course Boo, the monkey! Boo's caregiver, Robin, brought him and Honey, the chihuahua out to greet us.... so cute! This was a perfect way to spend an afternoon! I highly recommend this tour to anyone! The staff is absolutely wonderful! Everyone, including the shuttle bus driver, the ladies at the visitor center, Robin, who is a caregiver to the animals, and the horse caregivers were all so welcoming! Our tour guide, Janet, was awesome and made the tour fun and special! There's such a feeling of calmness on this tour, you do not feel hurried at all. Janet gave us plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings and ask any questions we may have. On a personal note, my camera broke as soon as the tour began. I could hardly believe I'm standing in Wayne Newton's front yard and I can't take any photos! Janet was so kind... she offered to take photos for me and later that day she emailed them to me! Thank you Janet! I have shared those photos with so many family and friends!! You feel very welcome by everyone at Shenandoah! I will definitely be visiting again on my next trip to Vegas! Wayne, Mr. Las Vegas, thanks for sharing your home.....it was such a pleasure to visit!! Danke schoen ( I just had to say that!)!

The Tower is a unique, iconic fixture in the Vegas skyline with a magnificent 360 degree view of the shimmering Las Vegas Strip and Valley.

this is the first time I went up to the observation deck and it was amazing .. BEST PLACE for sunset for sure!!! and if you are a thrill seeker, you can bungy off the side or ride the slider that takes you off the side of the top of the Stratosphere -just plain crazy to watch but alot of people did it- you ride up the elevator at 21 miles and hour - a must see
4. The Strip

The Las Vegas Strip is simply amazing to see. My first time in Vegas Amazing people watching Amazing photography Amazing shopping Amazing Restaurants/Food Amazing Casinos (Many of course) Amazing Shows/Entertainment Bring comfortable running shoes as the strip is massif. You could not possibly walk the entire strip and see everything in one day. Don't forget to check out one of the most amazing and only free things on the strip The Bellagio Fountains Show The Strip is divided up into 3 sections South, Central and North Yes the strip is that large. Bring lots of money or credit as everything is very expensive on Las Vegas Strip. We will be coming back to Las Vegas Strip many more times and would recommend to anyone to see the Las Vegas Strip at least once in their life as there is nowhere else in the world like this. You don't need to be a gambler to visit Las Vegas as there is so much to see and do however if you do gamble you will be in heaven.

We attended three NASCAR races at LVMS from March 1-3, 2019. This was our 8th time at LVMS, but our 1st since 2015. We enjoy the races at LVMS because there’s a lot to see and do besides the races - the exhibits and shopping outside the track entrance, the Neon Garage and the Turn 4 Turn Up (which we didn’t check out). Of course, Vegas itself has a lot to offer after the races. Recommendations: 1. Buy tickets by calling LVMS instead of ordering online through Ticketmaster. You actually talk to a human being! I believe Ticketmaster also charges a service fee. Have the seating chart in front of you when you call. 2. If you want individual seats (vs bench seats) and cup holders, get seats in the Earnhardt or Petty Terrace ($245/person for the weekend package). 3. Buy Neon Garage passes ($99/person for weekend pass). You can watch cars being prepared in the garage, snag an autograph or two, and much more. 4. If staying on the Strip or downtown, take the Front Stretch Shuttle ($159/person for 3 days). Transportation can be purchased through LVMS. The buses access LVMS through Nellis AFB and park close to the track. It’s a lot faster than driving on your own (through previous experience). Our biggest disappointment is that the Neon Garage pass no longer allows us to walk on pit road. We can walk behind, but not in front of the pit boxes. Only those with hot passes can walk on pit road. Food prices are also very high, but that’s typical at any sporting event.

As part of our trip we always check out churches as i love to see architecture and for more personal reason I give thanks to be able to visit the place and just plain grateful and for safety everyday. It is behind wynn hotel and considering this is a cathedral it is hidden by all the towering casino and hotel. the area is clean and the church itself is clean and very quiet. lots of stain glass windows and interesting murals. I would visit again if given a chance.

The iconic volcano at The Mirage goes on every hour starting at 6pm until 11pm and you are able to watch it from the strip. We were fortunate to have had a view from our room to watch the show. It last several minutes but it is definitely cool to watch!
