Get married under the sea! Shark Reef Weddings at Mandalay Bay by Cutie_pi Pros: Unique location, comprehensive package, beautiful backdrop for a unique day
Cons: Maximum capacity (for guests) is 10, so not ideal for a larger wedding For our recent Las Vegas wedding-moon (a honeymoon trip that also incorporated the actual wedding ceremony), we wanted to stray off the beaten path. While there's a multitude of glamorous (and not-so-glamorous) wedding chapels, to fit most everyone's ...

Scariest ride I went on by luv2teach Pros: Interesting history prior to ride
Cons: If you are scared of dinosaurs or reptiles avoid this ride. Jerky motions and dark. Ok I'm not one to admit when I am scared out of my mind but this ride was super scary. If you are not a fan of dinosaurs, apparently I am not, this is not the ride for you. When you wait in line you will get to see the dinosaur artifacts and there is a ...

Mamaliga, Mititei, Palinca, Dracula, Amazing sights, and the Palace of the Parliament by texas-swede Pros: Full of not widely known gems, friendly, inexpensive, enjoyable drinks and food.
