it's finally time to make the pilgrimage. my current girlfriend and i have been dating for close to a year and we wanted to take a big trip soon once we tighten up our finances and start saving. so we're figuring by our birthdays which are march we wanted to travel.
i have some questions i'd like to ask to those of you who may have been there. first of all, is vegas a better trip than a cheap caribbean destination like cuba or dominican? and is the old strip far from the strip? if online packages have a room at an old strip or off-strip location, is it worth it to cab or walk each time to get to the good tourist attractions? which are the best cheapest hotels to stay in, or who gives a comp room easily? what are the must-sees when it comes to a first-timer in vegas? which are the most beautiful casinos on the strip?
and slight curveball, is it economically feasible (rental car, train, flight?) to travel to los angeles from vegas for a day to go to the price is right? that is a lifelong wish of mine. and me and my girlfriend own that show when we play along at home. if we study our prices and games, and follow the tips for trying to become a contestant, i foresee we could go home winners overall for the outing.
so does anyone have any recommendations for vegas, or if an island is a better way to spend what little money we can pool for our vacation? we are in our early-mid twenties and want to go for roughly a week's time. also do any peeps here wanna chill in vegas with me and me girlfriend in mid-march-ish? and point me to some sweet deals and awesome experiences vegas has to offer, if you please?
and how's everyone been?
