What are good party bars in Las Vegas for friends, and what are some good bars to go to with the family?|100750

Im going for my 21st, and want to go out with just my friends to the bar one night. The other night I want to go with my family to the bars, and I want a fun one, but not to crazy with the family.

Almost all of the bars and pubs on the strip are family and touristy. They are also expensive. You should go to a local bar off of the strip.

21st B-day is a milestone to be enjoyed... celebrated. Take your GF_s to Thunder Down Under than hit the Central Park bar in New York-New Yourk.
If you are hot looking, The popular ones - ICE, Pure and such will let you in after waiting in line an hour or two.

Rum Jungle!!

Family Bar? any casino bar or lounge will do, as long as everyone is 21+

P T_s Pub, they_re everywhere. Good on a week day afternoon for quiet. Ellis Island Casino, it_s a brewery. Small and quiet (when we went). They also have good food. Mondays thru Thursdays, from 8am till happy hour is the best time to go for family time.

What is a nice cheap weekend getaway for a couple in New Jersey?|198661

My fiance and I want to do something different this weekend. There are only so many times to go to the movies, play pool, and go bowling. We are currently on a budget saving for our wedding. What would be a nice cheap weekeng geatway for a couple in New Jersey? Any ideas?

pennsylvania! you can go to the mountains..if thats what you mean by getaway. I believe most stuff is much cheaper here then towards the coast.

Visit New York City - Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The very best getaway I ever experienced was to tell everyone I was going to NYC. Then I just stayed home, stayed in doors so they didn_t know I was there, and later pulled out old photos and made up stories about all the things I had done. It_s harder to pull this off than you think because it_s very tempting to go outside.

One time I did that, and while everyone knew I wasn_t gone, I had a great time. That time I MADE myself go to all the tourist attractions close to home and just see my local community as a tourist would. Believe it or not, that was a better getaway than taking a trip. The key on this one was to go to TOURIST things, and to not fall into the trap of going to the mall, the grocery store, etc - all the things that are part of your daily work. One way to make it more that way is to eat every single meal out that week (or whatever time period) and to not turn your television on AT ALL during that time period. Make sure you go to a lot of movies, museums, art galleries, and all the other fun stuff you might overlook in the hustle and bustle of your daily life.

You_ll be surprised how much fun you_ll have. Better than taking a trip, and less expensive, too.

Go to upstate New York and find a bed and breakfast. Or, go to Long Branch or one of the places along the Jersey shore. It_s the off season so the place will be dead, and you can visit all the little shops and stuff.

Cape May (the city) is well known for its romantic B_B_s.

There_s still walking on the beach even tho_ the weather_s getting cool and there_s a downtown pedestrian mall that has excellent food and shopping.

As it_s off-season, rates will be lower and crowds will be non-existant.

Really recommend it highly.

What car rental companies allow you to drive to Alaska?|122153

What car rental companies would allow me to rent a car from Seattle or Edmonton, AB, and drive it round trip to Fairbanks? I will need the car for 21 days. Also, for those that drove to Alaska, which route did you take, and why?

There is only one route to take to Alaska and it_s called the Alaskan Highway. You will want to purchase a book called The Milepost from either:
http://www.themilepost.com/
or
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search��


This book is the Alaskan travelers bible. For the beginner I would start at Dawson Creek, British Columbia, CA, this is the actual start of the Alaskan Highway. You will arrive in Alaska much sooner than the 1422 mile distance the road travels. Stop at the welcome center at Delta Junction, the official end of the highway and pickup you certificate that you have traveled the Alaskan Highway.

The Milepost, well read we point out all the stops you need to make, resturants, motel/hotels, attractions and expecially fuel stops. Study this book well, highlight points you might wish to see. There is enough within 20 miles of the road to keep you busy for the season.

As for cat companies that allow you to travel to Alaska, research them all and have a good road service.

Take cameras, plenty of film ot data cards.

Good luck
