    Week can be a long time in Vegas. Trip to Zion or Grand Canyon would be a great idea

    Far as being there, better to ask in March

    What is Zion? We are considering going to grand canyon. And there is no way we could stay any shorter, when it takes us 19 hours each way.

    Totally agree

    Zion is a national park in Utah about 3 hours from Vegas. Has tons of great hikes, at least two of which are world class called Angels Landing and The Narrows

    View of Angels Landing 1/2 way up


    View from top of Angels landing




    The Narrows you hike through the river with 2000 foot canyon walls shooting up on both sides

    lol if it costed me money most trips to be in Vegas I don't think I would have been that many times. I'm definitely up in Vegas lifetime. Superficial people getting dressed up and overpaying for bottle service aint for me (know it's not for you either)

    We save about $1k in tax write-off if we go during the exhibition so... The trip is also booked now. Our gf's got pissed as hell when they found out we booked the trip, and then even more pissed when they found out we leave easter weekend. We went to Berlin in april this year, and they were not too happy about that either. gfs gonna gf

    Edit: A couple of questions:
    - When we go out drinking, what are the chances we need to show ID? I'm 30, my brother is 27, we both look 25ish.
    - Will they accept a norwegian visa/bank card? Will they accept a norwegian drivers license? I really REALLY don't want to lose my passport, and there is about a 50% chance I will if I have to bring it every time I go drinking.

    I would say you will def be carded, they are super anal here and i doubt Vegas is much different. Jay/LVPD can answer better tho.

    If your bank card has either Cirrus or Plus symbol on it, it should be good to go.

    You need your passport in Vegas. I know for gambling they wont accept a drivers license that is not US or Canadian in most casinos if not all. Drinking is probably similar. They will definitely card you too

    You probably won't get carded a lot but if you do you def want a passport to avoid any hassles.

    I'm ok carrying around my passport during the day. But when I go out drinking to get wasted it would be so much better if I could leave it at the hotel, both so I don't lose it, but also so they won't let me gamble when I'm beyond wasted.

    Edit: my visa cards got that bird hologram logo. What are the chance they will accept it as ID?
