Las Vegas looks like a great place to visit. I’m told it’s like Disneyland for grown-ups, but there seems to be plenty to do for kids, too (besides, Disneyland is just as much for grown-ups as it is for kids).
Anyway, because it’s such a tourist attraction, there is no shortage of hotels in Las Vegas, and if they look anything on the inside as they do on the outside, then I would think they’re all pretty spectacular.
With 25,000 unique visitors per day, I’d say that i4vegas.com has what it takes to find you something to fit your budget and your tastes. If you have a hotel in mind, then you’re likely to find it in the right nav. If not, no worries, just select the time range of your stay and it will show you available hotels.

Now that the kids are out of school and spending a little more time at the house, they’ll be looking for things to do. Among their activities, they should be doing something constructive, you know, to keep their brains from turning to mush. But every once in a while there’s nothing wrong with playing some video games to let loose.
There are a lot of great deals out there to be found on the Internet. Though I like buying things new, buying used is a very acceptable alternative for me as I like to keep within a budget. Besides, another advantage to buying something used is that you know it must have some entertainment value left if the game is still going strong.
One of my favorite games is Metroid. I’m not what you might call a gamer, but I found this one challenging where others might bang right through it. I looked it up on Shopwiki, which is a search directory on all sorts of products. I like their approach: their site isn’t designed to WOW you, but to give you the information you need to find what you’re looking for.
Once you do a search you can use the handy slider and dropdown menu to filter your search even deeper. The results show how many stores meet that criteria in a convenient rollover that includes the price the product is being sold for.

Over the past few years, I’ve heard things about Branson, Missouri as being quite an entertaining place for families. Home to world-class attractions and shows, it has become known as the “live music capital of the world”.
Visitors have a huge selection of shows, theme parks, and attractions that sure to fit anyone’s taste and budget. And when I say “huge”, I mean it. Just look at the list of shows. They have the talented and unmistakable voice of Andy Williams who has brought joy to generations over the years. He’s still performing his Christmas act, which for me, I think he’s the most well-known for. But that’s for another post.
You’ll also find tons of variety shows delivering music, magic, and skits. And their theme park is going to be a hit with the kids, too. Silver Dollar City is a great place to get away. I even visited there once as a kid many moons ago. It has a 19th century theme, but modern day rides and shows to keep everyone wondering where the time went at the end of the day.
Finding a place to stay may be difficult so you’ll want to schedule way in advance. The reason is that they have very nice places to spend your time resting from all the fun you’ll have in Branson.

Who hasn’t heard of Cher, the singer who just doesn’t quit? I remember watching her on TV when I was a kid on the Sonny and Cher show. From there she moved to the big screen and now she’s moving to the big stage.
Cher has been singing and captivating audiences for more than four decades. Her latest endeavor is a new stage show at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. She’ll be replacing Celine Dion, another world famous singer.
She’s no stranger to adversity as she’s had struggles of her own over the years. But even so, I think it says a lot about someone when they refuse to give in to their challenges, and instead overcome them. That’s exactly what Cher has done with herself and has inspired others to be through her music.
Her Vegas show will include singing and dancing beginning May 6, 2008. In additional to incredible, eye-popping costumes and choreography, they also promise never-before-seen things done with sets. For example, they’ll have the sets moving in from all sides, even from the ceiling and floor. They’ll also be able to change a set from a city to a forest in a matter of seconds. Plus, to keep things interesting (as if they already wouldn’t be), they’ll have a different set used for each song. Sounds that the audience will be in for a treat.
If you’re a life-long fan of Cher, or just starting out, you don’t want to miss tickets to see Cher in Las Vegas.
