How much money would you take to a strip club in Vegas?|107690

I am going in 2 weeks, and I already know that it is going to be a wild weekend.

No more than you can afford to lose. Same thing with gambling. Have fun!

Well, the drinks are expensive and you tip as you desire but there is NO difference in Vegas strip clubs than in any other state. They are not prostitutes becuase that is illegal in Vegas.

Slots, drinks, girls, shopping, food, tips, taxi, other odd things you will find to blow money on..... Depending on income and gambeling ways plus if you have family..... $600-$2500

Take as much as you think a stranger is worth. Not too much though, it is sad what alcohol does to horny men.

What is so special about the Golden Gate bridge?|105600

And why do so many people want to make tourist there? It is just another bridge, why is it so attractive to tourists I don_t understand what_s it_s significance?

The Golden Gate Bridge had the longest suspension bridge span in the world when it was completed in 1937. It has been surpassed by 8 others now.

The center span was the longest among suspension bridges until 1964 when the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge was erected between the boroughs of Staten Island and Brooklyn in New York City. The Golden Gate Bridge also had the world_s tallest suspension towers at the time of construction, and retained that record until more recently. In 1957, Michigan_s Mackinac Bridge surpassed the Golden Gate Bridge_s length to become the world_s longest two tower suspension bridge in total length between anchorages.

_The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the opening of the San Francisco Bay onto the Pacific Ocean. As part of both US Highway 101 and State Route 1, it connects the city of San Francisco on the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula to Marin County.

The Golden Gate Bridge had the longest suspension bridge span in the world when it was completed in 1937 and has become an internationally recognized symbol of San Francisco and the United States._

_The bridge is widely considered one of the most beautiful examples of bridge engineering, both as a structural design challenge and for its aesthetic appeal. It was declared one of the modern Wonders of the World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. According to Frommer_s travel guide, the Golden Gate Bridge is _possibly the most beautiful, certainly the most photographed, bridge in the world._ wikipedia.org

It_s name make it special, _The Golden Gate_. Also, it_s so awesome to see this huge structure over the bay and able to communicate point A with point B.

Another thing that I feel it makes this bridge special is the color. This orange tone make a cool effect when the background is cloudy. The color also make it look _Imposing_ and _huge_.

As other person said, It_s spectacular to see it with fog. For those who see it for the first time, It_s an unforgettable experience

In conclusion, The golden Gate Bridge is a bridge, but not like any other. For this reason is the most important symbol that represent _The City By the Bay_

I love it!

It_s not just another bridge that connects point A to B. It_s a BEAUTIFUL bridge that functions as a bridge as well as an amazing art piece and yet, complements very well with its natural surroundings.

It is indeed a marvelous engineering structure that has now been surpassed by other newer structures. But you do have to see it in person first to understand the beauty of it. AND to see it in different weather conditions for that matter.

For the context of the times when it was constructed (1930s), the GG bridge was (and remains) an engineering marvel. There are a number of documentaries that cover its construction. It has withstood the test of time for aesthetics and engineering.

It_s a bridge that_s by the water ^_^

and it looks so cool at night with all the lights! (especially if you_re looking at it from the plane as it lands into the airport)

It_s a bridge like no other. See it on a foggy day ! No doubt you_ve never been there.

Go see and you_ll know !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What haunted places in northern to central california can i visit?|110067

maybe something on the coast? near tracy? modesto? sacramento? monterey? santa cruz? just somewhere fun me and a friend can visit. we want SCAAAAARRRRRYYYYY

haunted hotels? some kind of museum? haunted house? anything really

Old Sacramento in Sacramento, CA is located along the Sacramento River and is where the original Argonauts and 49ers arrived to head out for the Gold Fields in the early days of the California Gold Rush. As the town grew, the home owners and shop keepers got tired of the river flooding their homes and stores, so they brought in tons of dirt and raised the city above flood level by burying the first floor of the buildings and moving up to the second level. (So what had been the 1st floor was now the basement _ the 2nd floor became the 1st floor).

As a result, there are rooms and tunnels underneath the current buildings and they are said to be haunted. There are many stories of paranormal experiences reported by owners and staff of the shops in the area that still have access to the lower levels through their shops. There used to be organized tours, but I don_t believe they have them anymore - too bad!! it would be very interesting, don_t you think? See

for more information about Old Sac.

Hope this is helpful!

The first thing that came to my mind was also the Winchester House in San Jose, however... I don_t think it is that scary! The tour kind of takes away from the scare.

Here is an article about the 13 most haunted places to stay in NorCal:

Have fun :)

The Winchester House in San Jose.

And then there was this abandoned house in Paso Robles where they filmed the movie _Arachnophobia_ but I forgot the exact location.

What really fun things can a 6 year old boy do in the Mackinaw/St. Ignace area in Michigan?|116836

My husband, son, and I are going up to the Mackinaw bridge in about a week. Does anyone know of really cool things that a 6 year old boy can do? I_ve already been to several websites. I dont think he_ll enjoy site-seeing very much.

Before you go on the trip, show your son all the Mackinac Island photos on Flickr. Read to him all the nice things people say to each other on that website. Tell him that you_ll let him use the digital camera for the entire trip so that he can take pictures and upload them to Flickr too when he gets back.

I admit this doesn_t work for all 6-year olds, but I know a few who won_t set the camera down during the entire trip, because they can_t wait until they get back to share the photos they took on the Internet.

The best thing about it is all the positive feedback your son will get. Just make sure you_re always there when he_s online of course...

Take him to Mackinac City. There_s lots of shops and little rides for him. You can also go to Mackinac Island (take the ferry over), and spend a day there. There_s lots of things to see and do there. There are fun houses and magic shops, with magicians, street performers, lots of horses and animals, parks and lots of things to do.

go to mackinaw island, and just wlk around, or you can let him swim in lake michigan.

As corny as it may be the Mystery Spot is always fun. They have a miniature golf course now as well. If you don_t mind a little bit of a drive the GarLyn Zoological Park is fabulous.

Mackinaw Island is fun but a bit expensive. The ferry ride is great. You can also go horseback riding or bicycle riding around the island. If he likes that sort of thing the fort can be fun.

Depending on the weather - Thunderfalls Water Park is great! We were just there last week and had a great time. Tip if you go- SUNSCREEN!

Good luck and have fun!

Hunt the beaches for Petosky Stones. They are fossil corals that look great wet or polished.

Also, there are some Agates on the beaches that can be worth hundreds of dollars to Lake Superior Agate collectors.

It_s like a treasure hunt!!!
