CONTEST: Win Airfare to Las Vegas on SWA & $150 Spending Money
August 12, 2009 by Mary Jo Manzanares
Filed under Things to See & Do
Many of you followed along on my recent trip to Las Vegas, and my quest to find some G-Rated activities.
Here are the top things that I found:
- Spent a day at the pool at Mandalay Bay. Renting a cabana, and have a place to get out of the sun occasionally, made a 100+ degree day at the pool bearable.
- Watched the volcano erupt at the Mirage.
- Saw Disney’s The Lion King at Mandalay Bay.
- Dinner & a show at the Tournament of Kings at the Excalibur.
Win a trip to Fabulous Las Vegas!
I’ll be writing about my experience, and providing some reviews and recommendations about them soon, but I wanted everyone to know that I had a GREAT time! I have some future Vegas trips coming up that will be adult-oriented, so this trip was a little out of the ordinary for me. But it was was incredibly fun!
How would you like to have a GREAT time in Las Vegas as well? If you tell me what you would love to see or do in Las Vegas, you just might have the chance to do it!

We just got back from a Vegas trip, with our three kids. They loved the Lion Habitat, the Adventuredome, Cirque de Soleil’s Mystere, and M&M world.
I actually like to go hiking on the outskirts of town
My dad used to live in Las Vegas a long time ago. I would like to visit the place where he worked and lived.
I’d love to see Elton’s Red Piano and Manilow’s A Night of Music and Passion. But during the day, I love hanging out at the Mirage’s Secret Garden. It’s so beautiful and peaceful. And I love that there’s no animal “show” just interaction, exercise and play with the dolphins. Also when the baby white tigers are playing I could watch for hours.
I’ve been to Las Vegas twice and have yet to see Cirque de Soleil’s “O”, so that’s what I would like to see.
Thanks!

Why can’t humans do this every week?!
