In Las Vegas do watch the Bellagio fountains at night. Across from
New York New York is M&M World where you can see a wall full of dozens
of different colors of M&Ms. You can buy containers of these as well.

Mandalay Ball at the south end has an aquarium exhibit.

There is a Krispy Kreme doughnut shop at the Venetian I believe.


Aviation-minded people might want to check out the Janet terminal across
from the Luxor.

A friend of mine drove me around Kelly Johnson Boulevard past EG&G security.
There were a bunch of people standing out front smoking. A great prank
would have been to pull on an alien mask and some coveralls and just go
stand out front, holding a cigarette and looking bored just to see watch the
conspiracy tourists drive by. 'Course, I'd have probably gotten shot for
it.

One tip I was once given in LV: As a tourist never leave the strip at
night and walk into side streets. Never.

Good advice. I've had to glare-down purse-snatchers/pick-pockets even ON
the Strip. Vegas is a fun place, but it attracts some pretty desperate
and unsavory folks.

One last word of (hopefully unnecessary) advice for the OP: PLEASE don't
judge America by what you see/experience in Los Angeles and/or Las Vegas.

They're usually fun places to visit, but they're about as representative
of America as watching "Miami Vice" or "CSI"...

Martin,

Wow! If LV already fills your definition of a dangerous place in that
sense, don't try Daressalam or Rio.

Just don't be a dumb tourist, as everywhere.
