One of my favorite times of year to come to Vegas has always been during football season. Coming from the East Coast, it’s so much fun to roll out of bed on Sunday mornings and have games start at 10 a.m., then for Monday Night Football to start at the much more reasonable hour of 5:30 — perfect for having dinner at a sports bar while watching the game.

I’m a huge fan of “The Price Is Right.” In fact, I’ve traveled to California several times to try to get on the show. I got to see both Bob Barker and Drew Carey, but alas, I’ve never been picked to come on down.

If you don’t want to go to California, or if you’re in Vegas anyway, you can get a good taste of “TPIR” at Bally’s Jubilee Theater, with the stage version of the show (when it’s running; currently, it’s not).

Are you a friend of the TV show “Friends”? Have you always wanted to try Ross’ Thanksgiving leftover sandwich? Well, you can (sort of). 

If you don’t venture off the Strip much, you may not be familiar with legendary Vegas sub shop Capriotti’s. There are about a dozen locations across the Vegas Valley; the most convenient ones are on Sahara west of the Strip (in the same strip mall as Golden Steer steakhouse) and on Paradise, across the street from the Virgin (formerly the Hard Rock).

Heading to Vegas soon and concerned that not everything you want to do will be open? Or are you trying to minimize your time indoors and looking for other outdoor activities now that pool season is winding down?

Try a scavenger hunt!
