If you plan your stay by visiting all the shows and casinos near your own hotel for the first couple of days and then rent a car for the rest of the time to go further afield, you'll be money ahead. The other good point is that after a couple of days, your money may not be holding out as well as you'd hoped and a car can take you to shopping centres, museums, antique shops and restaurants where you'll at least get a guaranteed return on your investment. Visitors to Las Vegas used to gnpe that the shopping was lousy. Not any more! The new Fashion Show Mall, on Las Vegas Blvd. is open for business with 140 places to part with your money. This isn’t your usual mall, dominated by Sears and J.C.

Pve also been told that if he is playing in Las Vegas, it ooo is THE show to see. Las Vegas doesn’t have as good a local source for anti- ques as most other American cities, the antique dealers cluster together and one trip out East Charleston Blvd. should satisfy your appetite. The shops start at about the 1700 block but if you want twelve shops _ side-by-side, look for the Antique Square and Pavilion at 2016 through 2032 E. Charleston. It’s on the south side of the street, the parking is good and it will take you a couple of hours to prowl through. I don’t know much about antique furniture but there’s a large selection. The china is interesung and there’s a big selecuon of jewellery, but- tons, books and clothing. Showtime! Las Vegas is either feast or famine depending on your taste in entertainment.
