THANKS - found (can be deleted)

Hello ponypeeps, my parents plan a trip to USA (from Germany) and my sister and I want to book them a tour or show or ... something as a gift.
Do you have any insider tips for us what to book? Must-see? Great tours? (around 60 USD per person)
We're a bit lost and need help.

Thank you so much.

Sounds fun! I know we have quite a few members from there so hopefully they can help!

I'm looking for activities in San Francisco or Las Vegas.
It would be great to get some ideas.
My sister and I have to rely on trip advisor otherwise.

Thanks ponys.

If your parents are interested in hitting up Vegas casinos, may I suggest Lake Tahoe instead? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Tahoe

There are a ton of tour bus packages that leave from San Francisco to Tahoe, with stops at local casinos, and it's a MUCH shorter trip than Vegas (Las Vegas is an 8 hour drive versus the three for Tahoe). Also, even if they aren't interested in gambling, Lake Tahoe is beautiful, so definitely worth a trip! You could probably find a great package for a nice holiday at Tahoe alone.

A great daytrip would be into Napa Valley for the wineries. Again, lots of tour bus companies offer trips to Napa, which is very good because you will definitely not be in a state to drive by the time you leave. Once again, Napa Valley is very pretty. It's very reminiscent of Tuscany, so just the scenery alone is worth the visit!

If you go to Las Vegas, there should be plenty to do when you get there

I haven't gone but my parents have and it doesn't sound like they hit a boring minute ^^

Thanks so much. We found some cool stuff to book for my parents and I bet they will be happy. I hope they bring me presents. ^^
