Each of the big hotels in Las Vegas has a shopping area the size of most UK shopping centres. The one in Ceasars Palace is almost as big as Meadow Hall or the Trafford Centre

If you've seen Cirque du Soleil in London at the Albert Hall - forget it. This is a whole other level. KA is a Cirque du Soleil show at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, with a theatre specially built for the show, which makes all the difference to what the performers can attempt. People fall twenty metres or more through the air, the whole stage goes vertical, tons of 'sand' fall into a bottomless pit. We sat with our mouths literally open and would go back to Las Vegas just to see it again. If you're in town you have to go.

The finals of the national rodeo circuit are a real piece of Americana - real cowboys, very scary events (throwing themselves off galloping horses to grab young steers and rope them up in a given time slot), the national anthem sung with enormous gusto and the fantastic commentary "America is the greatest nation there has EVER been on earth" (!), all make this a not-to-be-missed event in Vegas.

This was an AMAZING way to see the Grand Canyon - we had so much fun! - I would recommend it to anyone visiting Las Vegas.
The trip even includes a champagne breakfast so what more can I say!
I suggest going in the early morning like we did because that was really good light for taking photos.
There are a few different tours to choose from but we did the Grand Canyon All American Helicopter Tour and it was excellent.
