How to Pick a Hotel in Las Vegas

When traveling to Las Vegas it is important to check all kinds of different things, including hotels, hiking, recreation and entertainment for the whole family. Las Vegas was for a long time the adults playground.  Las Vegas was and is the gambling and drinking capitol of the world, and it was just about as Wild West as you could get in the twentieth century.  But in the last 20 years Las Vegas has changed into a large amusement park for the whole family. There is such a wide variety of things to do inside and outside of Las Vegas apart from gambling, that it would be a shame to pass up the opportunity to see some of the beautiful sites around the area.

First of all, let’s define car camping?  When you can drive your vehicle right up to the camp site, that’s called car camping.  Even if you’re driving a truck it’s still called car camping.  The advantage of car camping versus primitive or base camping is that you can take anything you want with you.  If you want to take a hammock or huge grill or a stack of magazines, you can.  Load your car or truck with food, clothing, shelter, bedding, games and anything else you want to take along and get going.  It’s really that simple.
