Hi I am running a photography trip to Vegas in March - here are the details:
Proposed Agenda:
3/23 Sunrise on the strip
The Neon Boneyard (fee for entry)
Downtown neon at night
3/24 Valley of Fire
Ethel M Chocolate Cactus Garden & Factory
Signs and people
3/25 Red Rocks State Park
The Hoover Dam
Hotel and Accommodations
Imperial Palace, right on the strip, across from Caesars Palace. Excellent Rates, with the group: $49 Wednesday / Thursday, $69 Friday / Saturday – best rates you will find on the strip.
And take advantage of our extreme knowledge of the area – inexpensive and great food, deals free or low cost attractions. The theme is bargain Vegas! Hard to do now, but we show you how. Flights from Denver or Loveland are as low at $59 each way! Book early.
The Locations
The Neon Boneyard is a junkyard, two huge lots filled with old neon signs. Owned by the City of Las Vegas, entry is restricted. They charge by the hour, unless you sell a picture, then they want a higher fee. An amazing place, we will need at least 2 hours. Downtown Las Vegas has been revitalized and features many refurbished neon signs Very interesting people. The Strip runs from just north of the airport to downtown and presents a variety of attractions, people, views, and signs. Great fun any time of day with a good part and bad part of town – lots to shoot. Valley of Fire is a Nevada State Park , kind of a mini-Moab. Red rocks, small arches, formations, desert plants and views, just an hour away. The Ethel M (as in M&Ms) Chocolate Factory includes a renowned cactus garden. Oh yeah, great samples too! The Red Rocks State Park is a beautiful example of desert landscape. Hiking trails, roadrunners, Joshua Trees – gorgeous and only 30 minutes from Vegas. Then the famous Hoover Dam – awesome.
You will also have time on your own to do whatever you want – shows, gambling or other close by natural wonders. We can help save money there too.
Details, Details
The group is limited to 12, minimum of 6 participants. Deadline for attendance is March 1st. Attendees are responsible for all Hotel, food, rental car and airfare payments.
Fees: $100 per attendee. Additional fees will be required for the State Parks, Neon Boneyard and the Hoover Dam, to be split as appropriate between all.
Leader – Becky Willis has been to Vegas over 10 times in 2 years, and shooting/working on assignments. She knows the area and how to save money in Vegas.
