If you have a car don't hesitate to go west rim grand canyon. The tourist agencies don't like you do it "a tu aire "

Had an awesome time!!!! The view and attractions were wonderful! If you're from the East Coast, be aware because the heat is dry and by the end of the trip, I had a nosebleed. Also, the street solicitors were horrible! You didn't get a moments rest without someone approaching you to solicit a show, club, or sex!

The American capital of parties and craziness. You have to go there knowing what to expect: lots of casinos, lots of restaurants and shops, lots of lights and odd copies of classical monuments. I spent $20 on the casino knowing that I was going to lose it (i did), I enjoyed the fountains of the casinos, and the parties. We went to the Hard Rock Hotel for $20 person/night, disco and pool included ;)
