Moms Travel TipsTravel Tips and Vacation Ideas for the Whole Family

It was time for me to leave wet and rainy England and head over to America, more accurately to Las Vegas. I had become fed up with just sitting around and working, it was about time that i went out into the world and tried a long holiday. I really wanted to go for a long holiday, and to go somewhere far away, somewhere I hadn’t tried before. Somebody mentioned to me that Las Vegas was the place to be for an exciting holiday.

So that was it I was on my way for Las Vegas Holidays. I landed in McCarran Airport, and was picked up in a car and taken to the Bellagio Hotel. I was astonishingly awe struck. It truly was the best hotel I had ever visited. As soon as you walk in you are stunned by the cleanliness and the sheer beauty of the hotels surroundings. For the price, the room i received was truly beautiful.

As i had decided to come to Vegas, i decided that i had to try my hand at some gambling. So I booked myself in for a few games of blackjack and roulette. It was a real blast, although i didn’t come out on top. I had heard much about the city of Las Vegas, all i needed to do now was see some of the sites and finish the rest of my holiday with a couple of nice drinks.

It was coming to the end of my vacation, so i decided to head back to the hotel. What better way to spend your final day on holiday, than trying your luck on the slot machines. I must have spent about 60 dollars, when all of a sudden the big slot machine I was on starting ringing, people came running up to me and congratulating me. At first I didn’t know what had happened, until I noticed the Giant “Jackpot” flashing sign. I won’t say how much I won, but it was a fair amount. One of the best holidays ever.

I have also recommended to my two sons to have Las Vegas weddings, should be good fun for all of them.

It was time for me to leave dreary England and head over to America, more precisely to Las Vegas. Just working all the time really wasn’t doing it for me, i needed to get out there and do something. I was determined to go to America, i wanted to head out on a long holiday. Somebody mentioned to me that Las Vegas was the place to be for an exciting holiday.

So that was it I was on my way for Las Vegas Holidays. I landed in McCarran Airport, and was picked up in a car and taken to the Bellagio Hotel. What an amazing location. This was by far one of the best hotels i had ever seen. As soon as you walk in you are stunned by the cleanliness and the sheer beauty of the hotels surroundings. For the price, the room i received was truly beautiful.

Now I wanted to try my hand at some gambling. So I booked myself in for a few games of blackjack and roulette. Although i had a really good time, i didn’t win much. I then decided to visit Vegas, I went to several of the casinos to see what they were like, including; the Luxor, the Mirage and the Circus Circus.

It was coming to the end of my vacation, so i decided to head back to the hotel. What better way to spend your final day on holiday, than trying your luck on the slot machines. I had begun to spend a little too much, somewhere in the region of 140 dollars, then all of a sudden, there was a flashing light and a siren, i was all of a sudden surrounded by people. At first I didn’t know what had happened, until I noticed the Giant “Jackpot” flashing sign. I won’t say how much I won, but it was a fair amount. There is no way anyone could have a better holiday.

I have also recommended to my two sons to have Las Vegas weddings, should be good fun for all of them.

It is hard to tell when we really started gambling, the only thing we are sure of is that it has always been around. If the business is turning over 100 billion pounds, it is going to have a lot of competition. Basically this shows that if everyone in the world had access to the Internet they would have to bet at least 15 pounds each year.

The majority of this is thanks to the internet. Internet gambling has really taken off, probably more than anybody first imagined. The chance to just sit in the peacefulness of your own home and have fun enjoying a casino like gambling table at the press of your finger tips is massive fun and easily to obtain. Unless these sites are run by people from Las Vegas, surely we are stopping the mainstream of cash flow into Vegas? Are people going to stop going abroad to gamble because they can enjoy it at home?

Vegas holidays have always been popular; the gambling scene is massive with a whole range of 5 star hotels to stay in at very low costs. Even thought the cost of going to Vegas is very high, you wont have to worry about having a bad time. Actually sitting at these tables is good fun, you feel really deep set in the game, you will also be more conservative with your money. However i have never really had that much faith in gambling online. It is impossible to tell if you are being conned or not? Although gambling is unpredictable, I believe that on internet sites, if you go through a losing streak you may be tempted to think the site is cheating you making you a little paranoid.

So Las Vegas holidays are although expensive, very fun, they provide you with hands on experience and a great holiday, not to mention possible Vegas weddings, plus you can’t get married over the internet…….. Yet!

Other areas that have benefitted from gambling are Florida holidays, Orlando being quite a popular place.

New York has featured in films and been in the news all the time. This is a holiday to enjoy if you like to learn about interesting places. Visiting New York should be top of your priority list for your next holiday. This is a great adventure for anyone.

Recently holiday prices have been falling and New York has been receiving even more visitors from outside the United States. The Statue stands over ninety three metres tall including the pedestal, and weighs an impressive 204.1 tonnes. This huge figurine, was built mostly out of a copper sheet, internally it’s framework consisted of Steel, it was given to the USA to celebrate it’s centennial. Since September 11 you have not been able to climb up to the top, but you can still go into the rectangular pedestal.

The Empire State Building, one hundred and three stories tall. Once the tallest building in the world, the Empire State Building has been used in many films and is one of the USA’s greatest landmarks. It became clear this building was going to be even more special the moment it survived being hit by a B-32 bomber. This is a fantastic sight, and the view from the observation deck is truly stunning.

There are many national Parks in New York including thousands of acres of Gateway National Recreation Area. This city doesn’t just consist of buildings and roads, it does in-fact have some quite amazing parks. There are a large number of entertainments and performing arts museums to visit including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and he Lincoln Centre for the Performing Arts. New York holidays have benefited much from all of the establishments that have been provided.

If you have considered going elsewhere like, Las Vegas holidays or have even contemplated Vegas weddings, you should still consider New York as a prime holiday experience.

America and more specifically the USA, offers so much to tourists. The people here are great, and not to mention that there is so much to see that you will find it hard to get bored. If you add up all of America’s Contiguous states which is 48, they cover over three hundred and sixty five million acres. The hard decision is where to go in this land of wonder.

So let’s take a look at some of the East and West Coast regions that offer some of the most amazing holidays. Let ’s take a look at the East Coast and then move onto the West Coast.

The State of New York is in the north east of the USA. What a great place for sight seeing, with the Statue of Liberty as the first main tourist attraction. New York has many national Parks and also plays host to the Bridal Veil falls, the smaller part of Niagara falls. Georgia and the city of Atlanta lie on the west coast as well. There is an Aquarium in Georgia as well, not to mention one of the largest in the world. You also have the World of Coca Cola building which is a great tourist attraction to learn a little history. Finally there is Florida, Florida holidays are massive and offer some of the best entertainment in the world. Good old Disney world has more visitors each year than any other theme park in the world.

So now we have seen the East Coast, let us look at the West Coast. Well Nevada, the home to Las Vegas, the gambling capital of the world, and this is mainly what Nevada is known for. This used to be a testing ground for nuclear weapons, probably not much to see anymore. There is so much to do in California. Los Angeles and Hollywood are the two big names that spring to mind, the districts for stars and celebrities; you are surrounded by hundreds of millions of pounds anywhere around here. Holding everything steady is Washington. There is plenty of history to explore here and many different sites for you to see including the home of Microsoft and the Washington State Capitol in Olympia.

So now you know a choice of holidays available, which will it be? New York holidays or Las Vegas holidays?

All of sudden holiday time has appeared, and you have a choice. If you have considered going to America then you will find that these two holidays are very appealing. So here are two very different holidays for you to indulge in.

Now I know that these are very different because one is a city and one is a state. Surely this means that Florida will win hands down. However Vegas, excuse me, is holding a few cards up its sleeve. There is a different reason to decide on each one of the holidays. Now the choice is here, your holiday, or the family holiday.

Las Vegas is the place for you, it doesn’t really appeal to the younger ones of the family mainly because there isn’t much for them to do here. But for you, the adult, there are all kinds of different activities for you enjoy. I promise you that being bored is not an option, they don’t understand what it means. In fact there are some amazing sites for you to see on your Las Vegas holidays. The dancing fountains and the sight of some of these themed casino’s is truly amazing. If you want to hit the bars late at night, then your in luck, this place is all about the night life.

Florida holidays are for the family. Now most people know what you can find here, it is really the theme park capital of the world. Disney world, the largest theme park ever, this is the most immense experience for your children, meeting the seven dwarfs and Mickey mouse. This place holds the key to every child’s imagination, unlocking fantasy lands that are going to keep them entertained for days.

So an adult holiday in Vegas, where if it really gets steamy you could have famous Vegas Weddings or a holiday in Florida, for you and the kids.

Go to Florida and head down to Orlando, the sun shining city. You can’t begin to compare Disney World to any other place in the world, it is without a doubt one of a kind, mainly because of its size and its various attractions.

Walt Disney was responsible for creating some of the best known cartoon characters in the world; he was also responsible for the construction of the biggest holiday resort in the world. Disney World as said is the largest of all the tourist resorts, and is also the most visited in the entire world receiving about 17 million visitors just to the Magic Kingdom resort. You will find that this park is not just one massive theme park, it is spilt into 4 different theme parks and twenty three hotels. Orlando holidays have soared because of Disney World.

Next up is the Universal Orlando resort. The Disney world resort is by far the largest resort in the world, this is the second. Universal studios offers a massively wide range of attractions for everybody, it is guaranteed that you will have seen a film that they have an exhibit of here. In 1999 the Resort had two large hotels built when it became apparent that more revenue could be made for people that wanted to stay for a weekend or even a week. Thanks to this Theme park, the employment rate is high in this area, they employ a huge amount of staff and attract lots of tourism.

Last but by no means is least, the Sea World Orlando. This is probably the most stunning of all the sea life resorts around. This resort is the seventh most visited resort in the world with around 6 million people visiting annually. It is hard to explain Sea World as a sea life centre becuase really it is more of a theme park, it wouldn’t be right to play down the fact it has roller coasters and other attractions you might find at a regular theme park. Shamu is the most famous Killer Whale in the world, he performs many tricks and stunts in an arena surrounded by many people and have become the much loved Mascot of the Sea World.

Many people go on America holidays to see these amazing places, it is clear that Orlando is very famous for all these amazing attractions. In Nevada Las Vegas holidays bring a very different format to the holiday destination.

When visiting Orlando a lot of people do go for the Disney World attraction, however you must realise that there is a lot more to this magical place than just theme parks. However everybody should think about some of the other locations in and around Orlando as well.  Consider these American holidays as well:

Some of these resorts are huge and are amazing places to visit. Gatorland is a fun adventure park in Orlando and has a 110 acre park. This is an amazing location, and although it is obvious what is here, there are some amazing things to see. There are over 1000 crocodiles and alligators at this Park. If you want to see something more exciting than marine life in Sea World, then you should visit this place, the Alligators will send shivers down your spine. At the alligator enclosure, you will find some very interesting happenings, there will be alligator wrestling and feedings, and talks about the alligators themselves.

There is the Kennedy Space Centre. Because this Centre is so well known it does not need much of an introduction, it is definitely for the people who want to see what Houston control is really like. If you have never been and you are lucky enough to arrive first time with a rocket on the platform you should really take in the experience. Not all rocket launches have gone as planned, one of the Apollo rockets being a famous example. If you go on the bus tour, which is highly recommended, you will see crocodiles all over the place, this is because they cannot be removed from their natural environment. The Mirror Memorial for the astronauts that have lost their lives is quite stunning.

The Silver Springs are another inspiring location. They are one of the largest artesian springs in the world and contain some amazing wildlife. It is possible to go on one of the Glass bottomed boat tours so that you can visit the wildlife under the water and see how clear everything is. Much like all of the other resorts in Florida this one too has a small theme park as well. These three locations are Great Orlando Holidays destinations.

Holidays like Las Vegas holidays have over shadowed these kinds of holidays and that shouldn’t really be the case when you have places like these to visit.

Although the Gaming capital of the world when it comes to Gambling, Vegas does have some interesting health treatments. Probably most obviously the two most sought after events in Vegas are Gambling and going to a Boxing fight. Is there anything else that Las Vegas gives us other than Gambling or site seeing?  American holidays have become very popular thanks to Vegas.

Well Las Vegas does have a strange new array of medicines that it is starting to adopt from the rest of the world. You can go to Vegas and divulge in some Holistic medical treatments. Holistic health treatment is a form of health treatment that does not simply consider physical health, but also takes into account the power of mental health and spiritual health. You will find that these treatments include very naturalistic approaches, like acupuncture, naturopathy and Magnetic field therapy.

Naturopathy was a term coined in 1895 based on its natural medical healing properties. Natural Remedies and resources are the way that this works, there will be no paracetamol, all perfectly natural. Las Vegas holidays do offer these experiences in packages as well; recently they have become more and more popular.

One main problem with going to Vegas has got to be the Gambling. A lot of people will just head to the Casino and spend away, but this can cause stress to set in. In most cases when gambling people are going to lose money, this sort of thing can lead to some serious stress and frustration. A massive problem to health is Stress. Losing money at big at the gambling tables could do this.

The big casinos like the MGM and the Bellagio do offer Spa days. What is the final verdict on how bad these holidays are for you? Well its not really necessary to worry about this because they have so many spa’s available for you to chill out, they may even make you feel better than when you first got there. So go head to America on a Vegas or Orlando holidays and experience it for yourself.

Although an easy question to think about, not that easy to answer, so i will just help you decide what to do. Is there a specifically best amount of time to take off for Vegas, it could be different for each person?

Well Vegas is clearly going to consume your finances very quickly. It’s a case of measuring how much you are going to spend each day. Casinos will draw in a most people to spend large amounts of cash. The only thing is, to make sure that you are very careful not to get too carried away on your first day.

Make sure that you weigh up how much you have with how much you are taking on holiday with you. It will be very easy state how much you will spend each day, but be careful not to under-quote yourself because if one day you find it wasn’t enough you will more than likely go over your budget.

Just for arguments sake let’s say your thinking about going for one week. Now 500 pounds sounds like a large amount, but not necessarily in Vegas. Anything less and you’re going to leave yourself a little short. Without being too condescending and patronising, spread over 5 dyas you will have 100 pounds. If you head to the casino everyday, you will find that the money you have taken may not be enough, just be sure to take more if its a long casino holiday. Just so that you can feed the gambling, not to mention the food and the entire site seeing. At best I think a three day holiday is the most sensible option, you can spend one day in the casinos and your last two enjoying Vegas, you wont go too mad with spending as well.

So in conclusion, it will be very hard to go on Las Vegas holidays without a large amount of cash in your pocket. Just be careful when you are deciding on what to take with you, take to much and you Will spend it all, take too little and you want have enough to enjoy your holiday. At least you can rest on the fact that Las Vegas weddings are cheap.
