We stayed at the Imperial Palace Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Buffet breakfast & buffet dinner, couldn ' t beat them for price & choice Hotel not as posh as later ones but you only need to sleep there drinks for free if you sit & play gaming machines @ various bars You only have to bet a dollar or so no min/max X/large king bed Buy show vouchers from 2 booths located on strip tickets less than half price, you buy voucher then go to venue straight away & pick your seats The strip is a bit like the golden mile but on a grander scale Designer shops in hotels are A1 Tours are the order of the day, Grand Canyon & Hoover dam are marvelous, if we went again we would fly then take a helicopter ride thru the canyon then return on a raft, with a tour bus you get 2/3 hours at 3 points of the canyon then back home to Vegas approx 300 miles each way.
