What is the weather like in Las Vegas in March? What is the best way to book a trip to Vegas?|137593

What are the best deals in Vegas - hotels, shows, tours, and buffet. Want to come their end of March for my birthday, don_t gamble just want enjoy the sites and food. Need advice!

We enjoy going towards the end of March. If you go too early you hit NASCAR and it gets pricey. The weather is mild normally in the 60_s low 70_s. It gets cool at night so bring a jacket. If you haven_t gone to Vegas before I_d suggest going through a Travel Agent, they can give you some great ideas. Have Fun!

Realllllllly COLD at night. Bring a COAT, not a jacket. Book online, search for deals, then book a room and as time approaches check again to see if the price has dropped, cancel your reserv. and rebook. That is how I do it, and save 100_s of dollars.

What is the best tour to take to the grand canyon?|108758

We are going to Las Vegas in April and planning on doing a bus tour to the grand canyon. Can anyone reccomend a good company to go with. I have found a few on the net, but I would prefer an honest answer from someone who has actually been on one.

Any help is appriciated.

Thanks,

We did a helicopter tour, which included a Canyon landing, and it was amazing. I highly recommend that, because it takes up much less of your day and provides some amazing views of the scenery. It was only about $100 more per person than the bus trip as well.

I can not, unfortunatly answer your question directly.

However, I would strongly suggest that when you do get there, take the donkey trip down the _Bright Angel Trail_ from the South Rim.

I walked the trail (30 years ago) as a young man, and if I had my life to do over again, I would ensure that was one of the things that I would repeat, for sure

I am jealous. Enjoy yourself, it is a wonder of the world, no doubt

There are two Indian tribes that have access to the bottom of the canyon via auto. One was the Navajo, the other was the one we took. They ran parallel to each other along the way. I viewed the Navajo and it was definitely more interesting than the one we were on. I believe the its www.navajonation.com

This tour is very popular if you want to do everything same day. Longer tours are also available.

I wouldn_t recommend the grand canyon. We were very disappointed in the tour. You can upgrade for a fee for the underground tour. It was very lame!

Pretty much you can go to a tour with a group of people. But a trolley or a bus would be good.

The best tour is to rent a car and go on your own that way you can spend as much time as you want at each area look over.

yOu can take an old train ride from Williams Arizona to the Grand Canyon. It_s wonderful It_s a tour.

i think that you should take an air plane good recomend isnt it

What to expect when driving from Chicago to LA in January?|106668

I_ll be driving from Chicago to LA in January and I plan to take the southern route so I don_t have to go through the mountains during snow season. I_ll be driving through St. Louis, Oklahoma City, and from there, through the top of TX and middle of AZ and NM.

Any tips for navigating through the snow? I_m an LA native so I_ve never have experienced snow let alone driving in it. Thank you.

If you can afford it put some snow or all season tires on the car. When going through an area with snow or it_s cold enough to have black ice, slow the heck down! Keep plenty of distance between you and the other cars, theirs a lot of idiots out there. Have a cell phone with you, emergencies do sometimes happen. Put some Heet in the gas tank, it_s fuel antifreeze, keeps your fuel lines from freezing up.

I once knew a young lady named Kitty, many years ago.

You have a couple of misconceptions about the difference between the two routes
With the exception of the downhill trip thru Echo Canyon _I-80 W to I-15 S- the northern route is not mountainous
Neither the northern route -1-80W to I-15 S nor the Southern route I-55S to I-44 W to I-40 are going to be snow free until you get down onto the desert
On 55, 44, 40 that happens 40 miles west of Flagstaff
On 80 ,15 that happens as you get south of St George UT
The one huge advantage that the 55, 40, 40 route has is that it passes thru a lot more cities and towns
I-80W from Grand Island NE to SLC is one long lonely empty stretch of road at any time of year But in winter it_s emptiness can make it dangerous
Leave this Q open for a day or so and I_ll add some needed details

Update
Tues :P.M.
Driving in snow
The key to driving in snow is that you drive gently and pragmatically
You brake gently
You accelerate gently
You turn gently
Sudden large movements will get you into all sorts of trouble.
You also set up your next move early
Case in point
You_re driving on a snowy interstate and you see that you have an exit coming up in 2 miles
Gently move over to your exit lane
At a 1/4 of a mile or so out lift off of your gas pedal to scrub off some speed
Gently brake on the straight to get down to 15 mph and then do your exit
Braking at high speed in the middle of a snowy exit has been known to have some real negative consequences .
If you_re driving at night under heavy snow conditions ,turning off your headlights But leaving your running lights on will significantly increase your ability to see where you_re going.
The reason that that trick works is that with your headlights on the snow reflects the light right back into your face and you can basically see nothing But glare .
When you turn your lights off the light magnification property of snow will illuminate the road enough to see quite a distance down the road.
However snow is not your biggest problem driving in and surviving very cold weather is .
Leave this Q open and I_ll tell you how to deal with that issue

Well my advice to you would be to get snow chains so as to be prepared. Make sure you don_t drive too close to anyone, as you will find out; there are real idiots on the roads. Drive at a safe speed and rest when you need to. Hope you have a safe and pleasant trip. OMG, last but not least be sure you have your cell phone and charger with you in case of an emergency.

snow = buy tires chains

dont hit animals

you might see a kkk meeting if youre in the south (texas and around there) in the night

try not to hit people
ull see lots of trees and rocks and some desert
and expect a little rain with heat
im doubting the snow

A nightmare.
