Las Vegas Guide: Heading to Las Vegas anytime soon for a weekend getaway?  Well don’t miss out on some of the lesser-known attractions.  And, yes!  Life does exist in Vegas outside of the Strip!  Don’t be afraid to venture off the hotel-lined boulevard.  It will all be there when you get back!  There is more to the gambling city than all-night casinos and cirque du soliel shows and free drinks.  If you are heading to Vegas, make sure to skip the buffet and eat at some of the world-class restaurants.  Here is my Las Vegas guide to some of my favorite restaurants, activities and places to shop.  My bestie girlfriend Ashley helped me with the list since she always knows the best places to go and eat.  This is a guide of places that are not the obvious
