Several years ago I was planning my first Las Vegas trip. Having never been to Las Vegas I didn't know much about what to expect. I had heard rumors there were $1.99 steak dinners and $.99 shrimp cocktails, but only thing I knew for sure what that I wanted to stay on the Strip. Everyone I knew who had been to Vegas before advised me to only look for a hotel on the Strip and I wouldn't need a rental car.

So I began looking online for hotels on the Strip. The prices ranged from $18 per night at some older hotels to over $500 a night at newer hotels. When I travel, I'm not big on gaudy, over-the-top hotels. And, unfortunately, a lot of what Vegas has to offer fit in this category. I could stay at Circus Circus which, from the pictures on the Internet and the $18 a night rate, seemed that it was past its prime. Other hotels looked nice, but I wasn't sure I would want to pass under the Eiffel Tower and through a gaggle of French mimes just to get back to my room every night.

One hotel that came up in my search over and over again, was on the Strip, and at a decent rate (about $100 per night) was Mandalay Bay. The hotel is themed, after a south seas lagoon, but the theming didn't seem over-the-top. I booked the hotel and was off to Vegas!

Upon arrival, I was greeted by Mandalay Bay's golden towers. And once inside I was very impressed. The lobby was grand (like many Las Vegas hotels) and I didn't have to go through or even near the casino to check in. Actually, I found that most other hotels on the strip are designed to make you travel through the casino to do most anything. But at Mandalay Bay, you can check in, go to the spa, even get to your room without ever seeing the casino. Sure, Vegas is about gambling, but not having the casino forced on you at every turn makes Mandalay Bay feel like a true luxury hotel and not just another hotel on the Las Vegas strip.

Once in my room, I was amazed at its size. The standard room was huge! In fact, the bathroom was almost as large as my apartment back home! It has a large bathtub, a separate shower, large vanity with two sinks, and nice amenities.. The room it self, while set up like a normal hotel room (two beds, a desk, chair and table, and television), was spacious.

As for the rest of the hotel… “Wow” was the only word I could think of to describe it. From the lobby, I could see the massive “beach” area, but being January (and it was snowing! I hade no idea it snowed in Vegas!), I didn't venture out to it but I wanted to! In fact, the Mandalay Bay's beach features a large wave pool and a sand beach, a lazy river, and various other pools. It all looked so inviting that I booked another trip, this time in September (116 degree weather; talk about from one extreme to another!) just so I could enjoy the beach. And on the second trip, enjoy the beach I did. With my friends with whom I was traveling, we splashed the day away in the wave pool and got burns on the bottoms of our feet from the blistering hot sand (nobody warned us that sand in 116 degree weather will burn the soles of your feet very quickly!).

I've stayed at the Mandalay Bay on all my subsequent trips to Las Vegas and love it (except for one trip when the rates were almost $400 per night due to a convention that was in town so I booked an off-the-strip hotel, The Las Vegas Hilton). The Mandalay Bay is a luxury hotel with all of the amenities without feeling like a typical Las Vegas “casino” hotel. But of course, these is a huge casino just beyond the lobby to take care of all your gambling needs.

A natural gas line exploded a few blocks from the North end of the Las Vegas strip, injuring four workers in the area. One worker was hospitalized with serious injuries from burns that covered a large percentage of his body. The cause of the explosion is still unclear.

The explosion occurred on Monday as workmen were constructing the Sky Las Vegas luxury condominium project. The luxury condos at Sky Las Vegas are scheduled to open later this year, complete with three story luxury apartments that open onto rooftop patios. That may now be in question as investigators seek out the source of a blast that sent construction workers to the hospital.

The explosion occurred on Monday when a natural gas line was ignited at the construction site, situated at the North end of the Las Vegas strip. Workers on the scene were apparently unable to smell the odor agents that the city introduces into the gas line as a first line of defense against potential explosions.

Adding odoriferous has been a common practice in the United States since the late 1930s. The practice came about as the result of a natural gas explosion at the New London School. No one on the property was able to smell the gas building up inside the school, which eventually ignited and killed hundreds of students and teachers in the resulting blast.

Investigators have concluded that the result of Monday's explosion in Las Vegas can be traced to a damaged natural gas line located in a swimming pool pump room. Investigations have not, however, revealed the specific source of the explosion.

According to Scott Allison, a spokesman for the Las Vegas Fire Department, one worker was severely injured with serious burns over 30 percent of his body. Three other workers received less serious burns. Of the four men who were injured, three were taken to an area hospital, while the fourth was treated for minor burns at the scene of the explosion.

Authorities reported that the fire was out by the time the Las Vegas Fire Department arrived at the scene. Although there was no sign of damage to the construction project, authorities did summon State workplace safety officials to investigate the incident.

Workplace safety inspectors have not issued any comments or statements at this time. Neither have spokesmen for the condominium project. The 45 story condo development is expected to open 409 luxury units on the Las Vegas strip later this year. It is unclear at this time if the explosion will result in any construction delays.

“Rough as hell, sweet as heaven, senior class of '57.”Nearly everyone graduating from Lubbock High School in 1957 planned on careers in show business, given Buddy Holly's success. Larry Larson's mother, Maude Larson, had started him out on steel guitar and juggling, then settled for the ukulele. By fifth grade, she had him costumed in this tattered straw hat, fake freckles, a tooth blacked out, a huge, polka-dot bow tie, and oversized overalls. The country corn pone, hayseed, stock-character comedian. And the kids laughed at Larry's laugh. He had memorized these old vaudeville jokes. He sang something like George Burns. It somehow attracted a rich cotton buyer's daughter. Her father had a red Cadillac convertible, a big mansion on Nineteenth Street, lots of fancy foods, and a Doberman that just hated ol' Larry.

Larry was tall, gangly, awkward, with a big nose and Adam's apple, and orange-looking hair. It looked dyed, but was not. Lubbock High football players dyed their hair gold or black for the Spring game. Folks thought Larry was one of them. He wasn't good looking, but he could attract the girls. Maude made him tell folks he was a “song and dance man.”

Large Mouth Maude Larson once beat a Hockley County man half to death with a bowling pin at the Cotton Club because she thought he stole her comb. Later, she found it in her purse, as all women do. She didn't feel a bit bad about it.

After High School, Larry and his Uncle Ferd (a spelling error followed him through life), expanded the act and took it on the road with a little tent show. They went around West Texas to Floydada, Lamesa, Pampa, Justiceburg, and Ralls before they ran out of money. Larry lied to his dear mother about not getting paid, but you would have lied to the aggressive bitch too, if you had known Maude.

Somehow Maude got Larry and Ferd, that's what they called the act, Larry and Ferd, booked into the lounge of the Golden Nugget in downtown Las Vegas. Larry and the cotton buyer's daughter said their 1960 goodbye in the backseat of his Hudson on a full-moon night, parked on a dirt road right in the flight path by the airport. A big jet came over at exactly the right moment, for him anyway, if not for her.

Larry and Ferd were working this little bitty stage at the Golden Nugget in the afternoons to a little bitty crowd. Basically, Larry wore the same costume from the fifth grade. They had developed some physical comedy — fake fights, falls and all — but the stage was too small. When Larry juggled three golf balls, one kept rolling all around the casino floor. As he did in a panic, Larry turned up the volume on his famous laugh. It was this deep, “Ho. Ho. Ho.” Followed by this high, “Hee. Hee. Hee.” And he'd repeat for a proper interval. It was infectious. You could not help but laugh at or with Larry's laugh. You could hear it all over the casino.

Little Buddy Blair, Las Vegas' best known comedian and front act, was in the gift shop with Sal Bella, who had juice at the Sands. They were drawn to Larry's laugh. A moths and flames prop going in. Buddy wanted Larry to come talk with him about being a “laugher.” This was a plant in the audience of Buddy's show, a shill, someone who would start the laughter and had a funny laugh. Larry had always been especially proud of his laugh. He caught on to the idea immediately.

A couple of days later, Larry and Ferd were fired at the Golden Nugget. The boss said, “People don't come out here to feel like hicks.” He refused to pay them, saying Maude had lied about their Los Angeles and New York tours. You would have hated Maude. I absolutely promise that you would have hated Maude!

Ferd hi-tailed it for the flat lands. Larry called Little Buddy Blair, explaining he had dry pockets on Fremont Street, America's worst place to be broke. Sal Bella made a phone call and the man paid Buddy for the whole two weeks, not thirty minutes later. Old Vegas. Juice. Much later, Larry asked Buddy about Sal Bella's visible power in Las Vegas. Little Buddy said, “He is one of those boys from Illinois.” And he winked.

So Larry became Buddy Blair's laugher at varied clubs around Las Vegas. Larry was born for it. Best laugher in the history of the town! A legend! Maude was furious. Good! In no time, Buddy wrote a few lines for Larry. Buddy might have Larry interrupt, or be the mock heckler that lost every time to Buddy, just like Larry's bad-guy, wrestling uncle, Rowdy Pat O'Dowdy, would always lose in the end. Larry took to being a laugher like a duck takes to Scrabble.

Then Buddy provided Las Vegas native Jana Crawford, a six-foot, gorgeous chorus girl with natural, gigantic boobies, to sit with Larry. They'd do some bit of comic business: a fake fight, a walk out. Buddy, and the two brothers he had started out with, wrote new material every week. The couple looked funny, because Jana was so good looking and Larry was so not.

Little Buddy Blair got booked at the Sands to front the Rat Pack: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop. Sal Bella never appeared on any papers as an employee of the Sands, but he had maximum juice. He wandered around, quietly telling folks what to do. He even went into the count room. That's juice! Sal, who had zero in common with Lubbock Larry, adopted him, Old Vegas style. He became his official “sponsor.” Now Larry and Jana were eating comp lobster and steak and learning about the finer comp wines. Life was good. Larry was the only guy around who can't tell that Jana is falling for him, until she just flat laid him down.

Sal spent his off hours teaching Larry how to deal blackjack and work the craps table. He wanted to teach Larry to be a gambler where he could make something out of himself. Sal Bella had worked in every imaginable type of gambling joint starting out in Chicago.

Then the word came down, “Eighty-six the laugher.” Somebody up high, with more juice than Sal, wanted Larry fired, and he was. He spent the rest of his life thinking it was Frank Sinatra, or maybe Maude someway. She'd do it. Gaff the prop.

Sal Bella placed Larry dealing blackjack right outside the showroom door. Some nights, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin would take over dealing at a blackjack table. They'd just give the casino's money away, by not collecting bets or over-paying bets. One night Frank and Dean took over Larry “the Laugher” Larson's table, and kept putting tips and chips in his pockets. Sal was looking on, and Larry could not tell how Sal felt about it. Sal demanded and got his taste of the $12,000 score Larry tipped over. Thirty percent.

When Larry heard that casino manager, Carl Cohen, had knocked Frank Sinatra's two-front teeth out, he turned up that signature laugh, so that you could hear it up and down the whole Strip. Some Sands' employees applauded. Frank Sinatra was not kind to the little people.

A group from the Saudi royal family came to shoot dice upstairs in a private room at the Sands. Sal made somebody put Larry on the stick, even though it was above Larry's skill level. The Saudis loved Larry's laugh, and shoved so many tips and chips Larry's way, that Jana insisted they get married. Maude refused to come to the wedding, even though Sal offered to pay for her airline ticket. She sent some roses that were dyed black. Like the box office, Maude had no heart.

Larry started telling Sal Bella all about the cotton buyer's daughter and trading cotton futures. They put together a little bankroll and threw in partners trading cotton. Sal was very uncomfortable fading a proposition where he could not cheat, but they played lucky. It had nothing to do with Larry's barnyard patter about the weather, noxious chemicals, boll weevils, and drought in Mississippi. They made serious, lucky money for six years before Sal Bella vanished…. left no word of farewell. Will there be not a trace left behind? Little Buddy, Jana, and Larry held a little ceremony for Sal, but they never asked questions around town. Old Vegas.

Larry and Jana had a whole lot of money saved, until they decided to form a country-music singing duet. They tried it in Nashville awhile. They went broke making demos, and then records to sell in truck stops across the south. That made Maude really happy, the double-mean bitch. They limped back to Lubbock broke, and Maude took them in. Maude wouldn't speak to them. She left hurtful, vicious notes for them on a Big Chief tablet every morning. She made them go to the grocery store to get her a Moon Pie and an R.C. Cola, every single night. Maude kept a bowling pin on the mantle, right under an autographed picture of Jesus Christ. His eyes would move, and follow you around the room.

Once upon a time, Las Vegas was the destination of choice for playboys looking to spend big money, drink lots of alcohol, and hit the strip clubs. While these images of Vegas still hold, these days there are also plenty of playgirls looking to get their kicks from a chick trip to Sin city. What to do? Where to stay? How do you get the most from your Girls Only trip? Here are some excellent suggestions.

WHERE TO STAY

The most important decision to make on your trip to Vegas is where to stay. The strip offers tons of hotels, but perhaps the most female-friendly is Mandalay Bay. Whether you're looking to party, gamble, indulge, see some shows or just relax, Mandalay Bay has you covered.

If you're looking for something a bit less expensive, you might want to consider the Flamingo for its central location.

Remember that although the prices for hotel stays in Vegas may seem expensive, guests are usually entitled to much more than a complimentary breakfast, so it's important to pick a hotel based on the types of amenities you're looking for.

SPAS AND POOLS

Once you're done checking in, you'll probably be in the mood for some pampering. Mandalay Bay offers the 30,000 square foot Spa Mandalay, complete with salon and fitness center. Whether you're looking for Swedish, Shiatsu, hot stone or deep tissue massage, the spa can easily accommodate your needs. You can even have them come to you with an in-room massage!

If you'd rather relax by the pool, there are plenty to choose from. The top spots range from the relaxed atmosphere of the pool at Caesar's Palace to Bare at the Mirage (where you can sunbathe topless) to the truly wild Rehab at the Hard Rock, where all the beautiful people go to party during daylight hours.

SHOPPING

There's plenty more to explore in Vegas, so once you've finished your massage and treatments and soaked up some sun, hit the strip for a bit of shopping. Try Fashion Show Mall for the latest styles from all over the world. With huge department stores like Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Macy's and Nordstrom, as well as overly 200 stores and weekly fashion shows, you're sure to find something special.

Looking for something more upscale? Check out the Shoppes at the Palazzo, where designer labels reign supreme. Everything from Manolo Blahnik and Jimmy Choo to Ralph Lauren and Prada can be found inside this huge mall, located in the Palazzo Hotel-Casino.

DINING

After a long day of shopping, you'll definitely be hungry. Luckily, Las Vegas offers tons of restaurants-from themed restaurants to truly fine dining. At Mandalay Bay you'll find the House of Blues restaurant, featuring Southern food and live blues performances. Don't miss their Sunday Gospel Brunch, with an all-you-can-eat buffet and live gospel music.

Also at Mandalay Bay (we told you they had everything!), try the exotic rumjungle restaurant for Brazilian, Caribbean and Cuban cuisine.

For a pre-show dinner, check out Fix at the Bellagio. They offer a pre-”O” three-course meal for $45 per person from 5-6 PM every night.

SHOWS

Speaking of shows, there are tons of them to choose from in Vegas. The best of the bunch are the Cirque du Soleil shows, from the classic Mystere to the aquatic O to their adult show, Zumanity.

If you're looking for something a little more risque, check out one of the all-male revues like the Chippendales at Rio, American Storm at Polly Esther's or Australia's Thunder from Down Under at Excalibur.

LOUNGES AND CLUBS

No chick trip to Las Vegas would be complete without a trip to one of their infamous lounges or clubs. If you're already beat and looking to lounge, try the Fontana Bar or Caramel at the Bellagio for cocktails with flair, control your own musical environment at eyecandy sound lounge & bar at Mandalay Bay, or get intimate at Tryst at Wynn Las Vegas.

If you're feeling more adventurous, check out Carnaval Court at Harrah's (with some of the greatest flair bartenders in the world, as well as tons of live entertainment), the Pussycat Dolls Lounge for a wild and crazy show at Caesar's Palace or LAX at Luxor-voted the Best Place to Spot Celebrities by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

For drinking and dancing with your girls, plus plenty of celebrity sightings and other excitement, get dolled up and check out the nightclub scene at JET (in the Mirage), Pure (at Caesar's Palace) or Tao (at the Venetian)-which also boasts a great beach party scene.

Coming to Las Vegas on vacation is wonderful but finding the right souvenir to bring back to the family is a time consuming tedious job. So why not make it easier and use some of these tips.

Post Cards

You can find post cards in just about every Las Vegas Hotel, souvenir shop, grocery store, 7-11 and any other small shop especially on the Strip or downtown. These post cards are cheap and have many of the highlights of the Las Vegas Strip as well as the Downtown Las Vegas spectacles that most people want to see.

If you can't get to all of the scenic places of Las Vegas to take vacation photos the very next best thing is to find the photo you want already printed on a post card and send back home.

Coin Cups

Most people know what a Las Vegas Casino coin cups is, but if you haven't been here before I'll explain to you what they are. A coin cup is a free plastic cup you will find sitting on top of slot and poker machines so you can easily put the coins you win in them while you are walking to the next poker or slot machine to put more money into. They also make it easy for you to cash out and take your winnings up to the cashier to “cash out” or get paid in paper money.

What a lot of people don't know is how many of the casinos are going to coin less machines and are only accepting the slot tickets you get from the casino. So the coin cups that have the Las Vegas Hotels name or logo printed on them could soon be hard to find which means rare and worth money. Just look at all the people selling older Las Vegas coin cups on eBay.

Free Maps of the Las Vegas Strip

Yes, there are maps of the Las Vegas Strip, Downtown and even the other cities of Nevada. But if you come to Las Vegas unprepared and have to buy a map from a gift shop, gas station or a casino, be prepared to shell out some money for it.

Or you could just go online and print a map for free. Then while you are visiting each of the places on the map you just write down the time and date of each visit. I'm sure your mother would love a map of the Las Vegas Strip where you have hand written where, when, how, what and with whom you were doing next to each place on the map. Mother's are just strange that way.

Free flyers

If you plan on walking the Las Vegas Strip, I highly recommend taking the free flyers that get handed out from time to time from people who are standing on the sidewalk. These flyers are the perfect souvenir for that purvy brother in law or next door neighbor, because most will have half naked women in them trying to get you to call them for a massage. Of course I wouldn't recommend calling the numbers because you never know what else would come with that massage but I'm sure it 's something that might not be cleared up until you had a doctors prescription.

Key Chains

Most Las Vegas gift shops and souvenir shops have logo key chains available for just a couple of dollars. So spending just a few dollars you can get everyone on your souvenir list a keychain with the Las Vegas logo on it. Now who's not going to like that?

Casino Chips

While playing most Las Vegas table games they will give you casino chips to use as money on the table. If you forget to cash them back in for real money you can always give the chips themselves as souvenirs. A lot of people have sold older casino chips on places like eBay to people who collect them.

Free Newspaper flyers from the Newspaper bins

For all those who do not know, there are countless newspaper bins that look like they have free newspapers in them. But if you look closely you will see what they really are. It's a paper filled with half naked women that want and come give you massages, lap dances, erotic dances, or who knows what else. Like I said before I wouldn't call the numbers but you know that saying, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.” Unless of course you have to go to the doctor for that prescription, in that case your insurance company will also know what happened in Vegas.

Las Vegas Showgirls Calendar

At most Souvenir and gift shops you will be able to find the Las Vegas showgirls calendar. The Las Vegas showgirls are probably the best known thing about Las Vegas and who wouldn't want them on a calendar? Those hats and feathers are so beautiful you might want to go out and buy yourself a feather boa after seeing them for twelve months on a calendar.

Las Vegas Coupons

There are so many ways to get free coupons for Las Vegas, but one of the best ways and the most widely known coupon books is from the Las Vegas gift shop. When you order the FREE Set of Las Vegas Coupons from them, all you have to pay for is the shipping and handling and you get a lot of free stuff.

Not only do you get the Las Vegas fun book, you also get a free set of playing cards that you can also use as a souvenir. What kid doesn't want their own set of Las Vegas playing cards?

Free shampoo

Anyone staying at a Las Vegas Hotel will undoubtedly find the free mini bottles of shampoo, condition, soaps, tissue and some times toilet paper and hand sanitizer. The maids come into your room to clean everyday and leave another set of each of these things. So all you have to do is make sure you take each set as they are given to you and put them in your suitcase so the maids think you used them and leave you more.

Now get a little pink wicker basket from one of the craft stores for a dollar and fill it with all those tiny bottles of soap, shampoo ect, and give it to any woman or little girl you need to give a souvenir to. Women love those little bottles of shampoo and soap and what little girl do you know that wouldn't love a little pink basket filled with bath stuff?

Las Vegas hotel discounts are a great way to save some money to play in the casinos or to see some of the great non-gambling activities, which are part of Sin City. Many people do not know where to find these Las Vegas hotel discounts, but they are out here, very plentiful and can save a visitor a lot of money on hotels.

This is a guide to finding the best locations for those discounts, but I must let you know that some of these discounts include much more than Las Vegas hotel discounts.

Local travel agents

Your local travel agents can easily check and see where the Las Vegas hotel discounts and other savings are. They have access to that information and they can find it much easier then regular people can. Many hotels in Las Vegas will offer air deals as well as the discounts for hotel rooms just to get people in there.

Hotels in Sin City

The casinos and hotels out there will offer room savings to get you in the door to gamble. They will often give a percent off the room or free food so that visitors will have more money to gamble. It is far better to lower the price of a room to get someone in that room other wise the hotels are losing money.

Vacation vouchers

Some companies will offer these Las Vegas hotel discounts vouchers for buying a product, listening to a speech or simply for the asking. EBay is full of these types of vouchers and those some are legal most of these are not worth the paper they are printed on so tread easily there. Deal with only respected well-known companies for any travel vouchers.

Time Share companies

Companies who are selling time-shares will often give people certificates in exchange for listening to a few hours worth of sales pitches or tours of timeshares. What are a few hours of your life in exchange for discounts on the fun stuff that can be had? I had a friend sit through a timeshare presentation and in exchange, she got vouchers for discounted food and entry to attractions but she also got Las Vegas hotel discounts.
