My tidbit of advice is on food; the bar/restaurant in the Hilton, Quark's Bar and Restaurant (they have a Star Trek theme) is awesome. I have never had bad food there, they have good prices and I love their ginormous cocktail, the Warp Core Breach. Oh and Klingons, etc. walking around are FUN! Personally, I never feel like I get my money's worth out of huge buffets in Vegas...

I've seen kids there before, so shouldn't be a problem.

There is also the Star Trek Experience, a sort of ride there...if you are a MAJOR Trekkie, definitely hit that. If not, it may not be worth the money to you. =) And there are plenty Star Trek displays around the restaurant that are fun to look at.

Not sure how Vegas weather will be, but you could probably get away with Shorts or at least light clothing.

i live just above seattle so i know what to expect for weather there... same as here. it's vegas i'm wondering about. do we take shorts or capris? or just plain jeans.

So you're coming to my neck of the woods. The weather in November is great. Jeans and t-shirt (maybe a sweatshirt) weather during the day and it gets chilly at night (although you're in Canada, so chilly might be different for you than me). Vegas has plenty of family things to do. New York New York, Sahara, and Circus Circus have rollercoasters and Circus Circus also has an amusement park. The wax museum is cool. Also you might want to check out BODIES...The Exhibition at the Tropicana Hotel. Stay away from the three card monty game by Caesars Palace.

The Wynn and The Bellagio are two of three most expensive resorts on the LV strip, and a couple of the most impressive in my opinion. The Wynn has by far the best buffet IMO although it is expensive ($35/person last time we went).
I can go on all day. I've lived her 15 years and love the place except for the summer heat. If you want more specifics, shoot me an e-mail (rocksolid331@gmail.com) with all your questions, and i'll try my best to give you answers and opinions.

Awesome! Mark and I are planning on a trip there in the near future. Unfortunately, my experience of Vegas is limited to the movie "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and not really all that helpful.. lol.

You're welcome to get ahold of me as well if you need ideas. I love sharing good places to go around here, unfortunately I have a hard time meeting up with people since I work a lot of hours, but maybe I can make an exception for some of my BP.net friends.;)

We were going to go to see a friend of ours fight. He is Nate "The Rock" Quarry and he does the Ultimate Fighting Championship thing. That didn't pan out this year; had to settle on watching him on TV.
I Hope you have fun Aleesh!!

Aleesha I completely forgot about this. A really neat half day trip if you have time, drive out to Hoover Dam. It is a spectacular site to see. Its huge and I think you guys would get a kick out of it. Plus, you could stand in two states at once lol.

I went to Vegas with my family a few years ago, and we stayed in Treasure Island. When I went, they had a pretty cool nautical battle with pirate ships outside of the hotel (i think they have changed it by now, it's been about 5 years ago) and they also have Cirque du Soleil shows nightly at the hotel. Right next to Treasure Island is the Mirage, and there's a pretty cool volcano that 'erupts' every hour or so, and it's pretty cool to go see. Once again, I went there before the whole Sigfreid and Roy Tiger incedent, so they had their exotic animal zoo with the white tigers and white lions, as well as some asain elephants and dolphins around their hotel. I'm not sure if they still have the zoo there or not, but you might want to check. Some of those animals are absolutely beautiful to see in person. There was also M&M world, which was kinda cool to go and see. I loved going into Ceasar's Palace (especally the shopping mall) The archetecture was really cool inside, and they designed the ceiling to make it look like a natural day/night cycle inside the building. I also really loved the archetecture of the Luxor (there's some kind of tram that you can take so you don't have to walk the 3 miles). I don't remember much about Mandalay Bay, just the really cool aquariums that they have there, as well as the House of Blues.

Let us know how your trip went when you come back! I really want to go to Vegas for my 21st birthday, so I'm planning/saving up for it now, lol.
