I've been on several cruises ranging from 7-11 nights. You don't really get comfortable with the ship, the schedule, and relaxed enough on the vacation until around day 3-4. With a 4 night cruise you're off the ship right then. It's also different being in Florida where I can just walk on the ship. You'll have a travel day on the front & back end of it. JMO, but a 3-4 day cruise isn't worth it to just go to the Bahamas or Cozumel.

Well you would know. heh I'll take yours and Saul's word for it. Pricing them out, they are a little on the expensive side for a 4 day cruise.

If you opt for Vegas I'd like to make a couple of suggestions,stay at The Flamingo,Bally's and/or Harrah's as all three are closer to the middle.Secondly,forget the bus and cabs and buy a 3 day monorail pass for like $15-$20.The aforementioned casinos may not have all the glitz of others but the monorail will drop you off at the back of most of those and walking through them back to front can be a sightseeing trip on its own.

Also if the mrs doesn't mind hot chicks and great music I highly suggest the X Burlesque show at The Flamingo as I've been three times(once with my mrs) and it's very well done,couples friendly and guaranteed to get someone's motor running.

If that won't work then splurge and definitely take in The Beatles LOVE.

I've been told the monorail is horrible. I'm sure each persons experience with it is different though

Someone suggested Zumanity too.

I'm usually catching a good buzz whilst in Vegas so I really haven't seen anything horrible about it.I've also seen those damn buses packed to the roof and thought no thanks.

Probably all depends on what makes you comfortable. Couple of my friends are steadfast against that monorail. Don't really know why though.

LOVE is far and away the best show in Vegas. Zumanity doesn't come close.

O does, but it's just different.
