Travel to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving
Millions of people every year flock to Las Vegas for their vacations. Many of the millions are repeat customers to this “adult playground”. Las Vegas offers something for everyone. Even if you don’t like to gamble there is something there for you.
Shopping:
Las Vegas Outlet Center is a huge building of 130 outlet stores from Bass to Tommy Hilfiger to Nautica. Spend the whole day there and still come out with money left in your pocket. Known for it’s great sales, the day after Thanksgiving is sure to be thriving with sales.
Bellagio Hotel and Casino offers a nice shopping experience for those with a little money to burn. Shops include Giorgio Armani, Chanel, Tiffany and Co, and Prada to name a few.
Entertainment:
Las Vegas is known for it’s shows. Most shows run from $20 for a small-time comedy routine to $100 for shows like ‘O’ Cirque du Soleil and Mystere. The Blue Man Group is another very popular Las Vegas show once in the Luxor casino is now moving to the Venetian casino this October.
For the more adult type shows, Las Vegas is widely known for it’s selection of Gentleman Clubs and topless shows. From the seedy hole-in-the-wall style strip club to the more luxurious and expensive topless club, the city has them all.
Casinos/Hotels:
You are in the middle of gambling heaven when you go to Las Vegas. With probably hundreds of hotels and casinos all over town you are bound to find one that suits your style. The Strip (the main tourist drag) is filled with casinos that most people have probably heard of in pop culture circles. Bellagio, The Venetian, The Paris, Luxor, Circus Circus, Bally’s, Mandalay Bay and New York New York are just a few of the many famous casinos sitting on the Strip.
For the Thanksgiving holiday most if not all of these hotels/casinos will be having special Thanksgiving meals varying in price and selection.
Aside from the food, for sports fans Thanksgiving is cause for another celebration. The celebration of American football. And of course Las Vegas will be celebrating with you! New York New York hotel and casino boasts ESPN SportsZone, a two-story 33,000 square foot “mecca” for sporting fans alike. To make things more like home the ESPN SportsZone has 11 “Zone Thrones” which are leather reclining chairs with speakers in the headrests and along the sides are tray tables. Surrounded by two 14-foot televisions with 12 36-inch tv screens around that.
I hear there are even television screens in every bathroom stall at the ESPN SportsZone so that you don’t miss even one minute of the game just because you have to go to the restroom.
Other Things:
The weather in Las Vegas around Thanksgiving averages a high of 66 and a low of 44. So with mild days and chilly nights it is recommended that you bring some long sleeve shirts and jackets for maximum comfort as you travel the city.
As far as transportation, Thanksgiving is usually a very busy time for the city so plan your travel not only too Vegas but around the city ahead of time. Check rates often and familiarize yourself with where you will be staying and what other hotels/casinos you want to visit. Taxis, The Strip trolley, 4 monorails, public buses, shuttles, and limos are a few examples that can be found in Las Vegas.
No matter what you do, where you go, and who you see in Las Vegas this Thanksgiving holiday, the city will be sure to please everyone in your group.
