First, make a list of all of the things you want to do and see. Have anyone else who is going with you do the same. Sit down together and discuss your plans. The next thing you want to do is go to the computer and see where all of the sites and things to do on your list are located.

Find out what time you will be arriving in Las Vegas. Start planning from there. To make the most out of your trip group the sites in one area and do them the same day or two. For instance, you want to see Freemont Street in downtown Las Vegas and do some gambling. Plan to walk around Freemont Street and enjoy the moving ‘ceiling’. Then gamble downtown as it pays out better than on the strip.

Do not dip into your money. If you lost it all, you have to wait until the following day to gamble again. You don’t want to lose all of your money the first day. Also, it won’t be a very memorable trip if you lost thousands of dollars. Get all of the things you want to do downtown done. The following day you may have some shopping, a gondola ride, and a show to take in. Start with the shopping, rest on your romantic gondola ride, and then in the evening you are ready to see your show. The third day you may want to take a drive out to see some scenery and the majestic Hoover Dam.

Put a general time you want to do each activity and allow enough time for each of them. It is all about planning and not flying by the seat of your pants. Sure, you can make changes but knowing ahead of time you can get all of the sites you want to see in makes for a more relaxed and comfortable trip.
