Hi there !!

My husband and I are planning a trip to Las Vegas and then California. We're flying from New Brunswick (Canada) to Las Vegas. We're staying there (Aladdin hotel??) for about 4-5 days. Then we're renting a car and we're driving to Hollywood, Malibu, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Long Beach, etc. Don't know where we're staying yet in California. I know we're going to visit the Hoover Dam and the Gran Canyon as well, oh and we're also going to San Francisco.

Could you tell me if the Aladdin hotel is a good place to stay? Also, what else is there to do in Las Vegas except the casinos??

Any suggestions for hotels in Los Angeles that's close to everything? I'd like to go see Dr. Phil, Céline Dion or Elton John... maybe Cirque du Soleil?? Where should I buy tickets?

I always love input from people who actually live in these areas.

Thanks very much, looking forward to your replies!!!
