Some Alternative Ideas For Your Las Vegas Vacation

They say, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" - but with so many websites listing literally hundreds of attractions and things to do, it is not exactly a well kept secret! There is so much more to do on a Las Vegas vacation than enjoying the nightlife and visiting casinos, so here are a few activities and accommodation ideas that you might not already have on your itinerary, and which may surprise you.

Experience the Mojave Desert!

Three miles from the Strip, you can visit the Springs Preserve, a family day out where you can learn the story of the development of Las Vegas and plans for its future. Inside, in air-conditioned comfort, you can enjoy a menagerie of the creatures that make their home in the desert. Outside, there are play areas in the eight acres of gardens and an amphitheatre where you can enjoy a concert in the evening.

Shop 'Till You Drop!

If you think that the shops in New York or London are amazing, wait until you experience what Las Vegas has to offer. In fact, if you visit the Las Vegas.com shopping pages (http://www.lasvegas.com/activities/shopping/) you will get a real flavor of what is on offer and print out your shopping Passport for Las Vegas with amazing discount coupon books on shopping and dining that you can pick up at nine different locations around the city. You might not win in the Casino, but you are guaranteed to be a winner with these savings!

Outdoor Activities You Will Love

World standard Golf clubs, Tennis courts and Pools; for the more adventurous, how about rock climbing, race car driving or a Wild West horseback riding experience? For a relaxing lunch or dinner experience, a cruise on Lake Mead on an authentic, Mississippi-style, Paddle Cruiser could fit the bill or a picnic lunch on a smooth water raft tour from the base of the Hoover Dam. To see the sights of Las Vegas from up, up and away, a balloon ride at sunrise or sunset is a family-friendly activity that will provide an unforgettable memory of your vacation.

Where to Stay

You will have plenty to choose from amongst the amazing hotels on the Strip - but if you want to find something just that little bit different, why not check out the website of AirBnB.co.uk? . They offer unique properties, listed by their owners (hosts) and you will find listings for everything from a single room to a luxury penthouse - and everything in between, including delightful guesthouses and private apartments with a wide range of prices to suit every budget.

When traveling to Las Vegas for your dream vacation consider using a private jet charter company to get you there in style.  Private charter offers flexible schedules and luxury travel to make your vacation truly memorable.

Pet Friendly Private Jet Charter



If you like to take your pets along with you when you travel make sure the private jet charter carrier you choose is pet friendly.  Private charter offers a safer and more comfortable way to take your dogs or cats along with you since they can ride right in the cabin and not in the cargo hold of a commercial airline.  I posted a Squidoo page with some things to consider. You can check it out here:  http://www.squidoo.com/pets-on-jets-private-jet-travel-for-you-and-your-animals


The charter partners at PrivateJetCharterQuoteOnline.com are all pet friendly and will happily allow you to fly with your furry friends. You can request a jet charter quote from a pet friendly carrier at our site. Pet Friendly Jet Charter

3 Ways To Cut The Cost of Private Jet Charter

If you are finding private jet charter rates to be too expensive for you or you want to look at cost savings, there are several things you can do. Here are 3 ways to help reduce costs.

Be Flexible:

If you are prepared to be flexible on departure dates and locations you may be able to get better pricing. Approach a charter company directly or through a jet charter broker to find out whether they have any flights traveling to your destination willing to collect passengers. This can often be the case if they have empty legs (When an aircraft flies back to its home base or other destination without passengers). These tend to be last minute and unpredictable but charter companies will often negotiate better pricing just to offset some of the empty leg costs.  This may offer the opportunity of a reduced price deal. If you use a website like PrivateJetCharterQuoteOnline.com, to get a charter quote make sure you let the charter representative know that you are willing to be flexible if there is a cost savings.

Jet Sharing:

Sharring a private charter jet
Alternatively, check whether there are any flights to your destination that could accommodate additional passengers as other travelers may be happy for you to share their flight to help them spread the cost and save costs for them too. A good place to start is through a charter broker or quote portal and ask for jet sharing options. Another place to find jet sharing opportunities is through social media. Jet sharing is a growing trend in private jet charter travel as this Forbes article illustrates.

Consider Smaller Aircraft:

Another option is to consider a propeller aircraft rather than a jet - although this may make your trip longer, there is the potential for considerable savings because propeller planes tend to be more fuel efficient. This Wall Street Journal article talks about how at current oil prices props can make more sense for carriers than smaller jets.  If you are willing to be downsize your aircraft it can save you significantly and there are some very comfortable prop driven charter aircraft to choose from, like this Beechcraft King Air
