If you like Pai Gow Poker the Orleans has more $5 tables than anyone. If you gamble, sign up for and use the slot club card. One of the most fun things about a Las Vegas vacation is opening the mailbox a few months later, finding free and or discount room offers to your favorite hotel. We go to LV for 2 weeks or more at a time, 2-3 times a year and have for over 20 years. I only recommend things we have done before, some of them many-many times. Answered By: jack - 3/3/2007

GO DOWN TO OLD VEGAS FREEMONT STREET HAS TO BEST SHOW AT NIGHT ATHREE BLOCK MOVIE SCREEN ABOVE THE STREET WITH INCREDIBLE SOUND. AND ITS FREE Answered By: Norman T - 3/4/2007

We saw the wild wild west show last time we were there... if you are going with a date or spouse... it's great.. it's kind of fun and erotic.. makes for a romantic time. Answered By: transferring help - 3/4/2007

The last time I was there I went to see the Danny Gann show at the Mirage. If you are under 35 you probably wouldn't enjoy it as much. but it was great. the tickets were $100 apiece, but to me it was worth every penny. Also, you might try renting a car and going to the dam. After you have been awed by that you can drive on about 70 miles to the Grand Canyon. Mt. Charleston is also a great place to visit. The lodge there is beautiful. A bit pricely for lunch, but heck, if you are on vacation, you might figure into your budget a few "pricey" places to go to eat. In Downtown they also have a GREAT light show between the Golden Nugget and Horseshoe Casino, The Queens and The Freemont. Its a MUST see and it is absolutely free but amazing.

The knight tournament in Excalibur is a very good show and the Bellagio is beautiful in and out and CIRCUS CIRCUS is like an amusement park in a hotel very nice and very fun and so is The Stratosphere Answered By: colombiankid819 - 3/3/2007

Hey I live in Vegas! Let's start with free stuff. It all depends on how long you'll be in town really, and how far from the strip you will stray. Treasure Island (the casino) has a pirate show that is pretty neat to watch, The Rio has a show every 45 minutes which is hard to explain exactly what it is, but I think they stop at 10, Bellagio has a very pretty, and romantic water show. Just walking through the casinos will keep you pretty busy. If you can get off the strip, Mt. Charleston and Red Rock are great places for site seeing. Those are all day trips though and some people are bored by Red Rock. There is a lodge at Mt. Charleston though, and it's really pretty there. That concludes the free stuff I can think of. At Mandalay Bay there is a shark reef and I strongly urge you to go to that. They have more than just sharks, and it's sooo awesome. Trying to remember how much it costs, but I went like 2 years ago, it's def. under 20 dollars though. New York New York has a roller coaster (13 dollars I think), The Stratosphere has rides too- but it costs money just to take the elevator up. It's still awesome though and totally worth it. The Strip also has an awesome arcade underneath the M&M factory. I hope you are staying near the strip or all of this will be useless information for you. Pick up guides in airports when you land, or whereever, there is a lot to do here and not just for ppl over 21, I'm 18 and know it is possible to have a blast in this city without drinking or gambling. Hope you enjoy your visit!!! I had to edit because I remembered more. There is a human body exhibit in one of the casinos, and circus circus has a mini theme park. it's really fun, though parking at Circus Circus is really annoying. The Luxor has awesome shows at its IMAX theatre, you should check those out for sure. Answered By: macho_bob - 3/3/2007

Hi there. Vegas is filled with things to do and they all depend on your interests. Here are some shows that are worth checking out: Zummanity Lance Burton Ka Danny Gans Mama Mia Penn & Teller The Amazing Jonathon Other things not to miss (lots are free): Fremont Street Fashion Show Mall Bellagio fountains Sky show at the Rio Aladdin Shops Gameworks The Body Exhibit at the Tropicana Hoover Dam Lake Mead Red Rock Canyon Del Taco (my favorite, lol) Adventuredome at Circus, Circus And simply people watch!

	Is this normal for an interviewer to do this? So today I went in for an interview and I was going in for the 2nd interview by the head chief executive. now this is where it got weird, so she asked me about my previous jobs and said how much she liked that product over that product. then she started talking about her daughter? an her divorce ...then how she didn't finish college because she was making more money doing what she did for this company ... then she talked about how her teenage daughter is a handful... I just played it cool thinking she was using some sort of psychology thing to trick me into saying something stupid. the interview ended and she seemed happy an I was escorted to the door... now I'm freaking confused? is this normal behavior for an executive? like it felt like she was going to burst into tears at one point and tell me her life problems... is this normal? was she trying to see how I react or something? 6 answers - Asked By: Clone - 11/7/2012

	How do I get a job with Dodgy work history and no experience? Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now? I also realize I have to go to college to get certain types of jobs, I am talking about what I can do right here right now. 1 answer - Asked By: Alex Prieto - 10/14/2012

	Why honesty, hard work and dedication have no place at work? Recently I have overlooked for a project at work and I am unable to accept it why? I am hard working, dedicated, maintain a very professional decorum, very cordial with my colleagues and bosses, give respect to one and all. Still people who take the p***, argue with managers, gossip mongers have been selected for some very responsible positions at work. I seriously can't get my head around it why, why unprofessional people who have no work ethics being selected over me, whereas I have a track record of excellent performance and never shy away from any work my manager ask me to do? I am at my lowest point and not getting hold of my manager to ask the question why not me, why them who can't even bother? I am feeling like a complete loser, giving years to this place, building my performance, trust and this is how I get rewarded.

	What to wear to a job interview VS a career fair? So I have a nice white button up shirt, business skirt and pants, and a suit jacket. I'm applying for a software development job and I'm very short and can look young so I'm trying to look adult, yet professional. I'm also attractive so I'm trying not to look too sexy. For the career fair I'm thinking of wearing just my nice shirt and a skirt with low heels. My reasoning being it's approachable and attractive without going overboard since the career fair hosts are mostly younger male recent grads. I want to be remembered but not intimidating. For my interviews I was thinking pants, suit jacket (power suit). My reasoning being it'll be older execs and HR people (mostly women) so less sexy with the pants but more powerful with the suit jacket. What do you think?! 2 answers - Asked By: Beast - 9/23/2012
