If you arrive early in the evening, you should be able to grab one of the coveted outdoor seats on the terrace overlooking the lake. It's a perfect location to sip a pre-dinner drink (or 2!) and a front row seat for the stunning fountain display which runs every 15 minutes from 7pm onwards!

The Cheesecake Factory serves much more than just cheesecake!

Walk through the front doors and you know you're in for something special! It's a great place to grab a byte or just relax and watch the world go by.

There offering more than 200 menu selections including Appetizers, Pizza, Pasta, Seafood, Steaks, Salads, Sandwiches, and more. My favourite was the Factory Burger.

But make sure you save room for dessert! Try one of the 50 delicious cheesecakes....

we went to the west rim of the canyon by coach, which we had boarded at las vegas, and it was an amazing journey. We passed joshua trees and spotted the odd coyote. We also saw lake mead and the hoover dam. on the latter part of the journey, we travelled a while on a bumpy dirt road! On arrival we boarded a helicopter which took us to the base of the canyon. wow! as we flew over the edge of the canyon, it felt as though we were jumping off a cliff!

At the base we got a short boat ride along the river before being flown back upo the rim. i don't know which was the most scary, flying up or down!

we had a delicious lunch prepared by native american indians. we sat and ate this by the edge of the canyon. the scenery was stunning, with the sun's rays flickering on the rock face and the colours continually changing. i have been to many places but this was breathtaking.

we made our way back to las vegas after a memorable day and i would love to do this all over again one day!

Normally held in the first and second week of December the Rodeo is a great entertainer. If you haven't got tickets to the Rodeo don't worry because the whole of Las Vegas is alive with everything cowboy and Rodeo. The Excalibur Hotel and Casino always has live Country & Western music, you'll see more cowboys in the bar than you have ever seen in any episode of Dallas. The Golden Nugget normally has some headline acts from Nashville performing and a huge party. Head off to the convention centre where every day there are different things going on from live chat shows to a Miss Rodeo pagent. There are hundreds of stalls selling everything Rodeo and Cowboy, you'll be able to get the Stetson you always wanted and in any colour to. The atmosphere around the town is second to none. The wonderful Cowboy charm and the drawl of southern accents is wonderful. They don't even mind explaining the rules to the Rednecks.
