Is there going to be a Hilton Lunar Hotel?
Q. Is the Hilton hotel chain considering to build a hotel on the moon when tourism there is developed-maybe by the year 2025?
A. Not a chance. Certainly not by 2025. The cost to construct a hotel on the moon would be seriously prohibitive. A hotel requires a way for paying customers to arrive. All currently planned Private spaceplanes are designed to be SUBORBITAL. No one has realistic plans for private orbital craft, much less lunar capable ships. Only a few governments can afford that sort of technology. NASA used to have that technology, but has largely lost it. NASA would not be carrying tourists anyway. It kills enough of its highly trained astronauts without killing civilians too.
Every year or so some billionaire pays the russians enough cash to take a trip into space. A hotel would require large numbers of billionaires with deathwishes. Considering transportation costs, the billionaire would probably have to fork over a couple of grand for a bottle of water. And god knows how much for a room.
No, as business plans go, this one is a loser.

What are fun things for a teen to do in Vegas?
Q. I have a 17 yr old son. What are some things for him to do while in Vegas?
A. There are a bunch of things that are free that ateen may like:
1. Go see the volcano erupt in from of the Mirage Hotel
2. Go see the pirate show (spectacular) in from of the Treasure Island Hotel
3. Number one on my list is to watch the fountain displays in from of the Bellagio hotel, usually runs every 15 minutes on summer nights; runs continuously until about midnight. Each show is different so stay and watch at least 2 or 3
4. Go down to Freemont street and see the light show.
5. Go to the MGM Grand hotel to see the Lion habitat.
6. Go to the Mirage hotel to see the white tigers that Sigfred and Roy used.
7. Go to the RIO hotel to see the Mascarade in the Sky show.
8. Go in Ceasars' Palace and walk through the forum shops to the first fountain (its spectacular) the take the first fork to the left to go see the aquarium.
9. Go into the Flamingo hotel to see their animal habitat with flamingos and penguins.
10 The Excalibut hotel also has a free light show at night outside.
If you are a Star Trek Fan, go to the Hilton (off the strip) for "Star Trek The Experience"; it cost about $25.
Go to the Statisphere Hotel at the North end of the Strip and got to the top of the tower (its about $10 admission) to get a great view of Vegas. There are rides at the top of the Stratisphere Tower if he has the heart for them.
You can see most of the stuff on the strip by walking, so you don't need a rental car. There is a free monorail between Bellagios and the Monte Carlo Hotel and also another free one between Excalibur and Mandalay Bay. The one on the opposite side of the street you have to pay to ride.
Plan which hotels/casinos you want to visit each day so you can make the most of your walking and the free monorails.
When you get there you will probably have in your hotel room a free guide to the city called either "What's ON" or "Las Vegas Today". These are helpful guises as they have a map of the city with the hotels marked, plus coupons.
If you want to some other things:
Go to Red Rock Canyon. Its about 20 miles West of Las Vegas out Charleston Blvd (you can pick up that street at the north end of the Strip) Its a scenic drive-through park.
Drive about 30 miles southeast of Vegas and go to Hoover Dam; the National Park Service offers tours (@ $15.) there and its interesting stuff.
The hotel buffets are now pretty expensive so if you want to order and eat less try one of the Denny's (one near the Casino Royal The other across from the Monte Carlo) for breakfast. There are also McDonalds and Burger Kings on the Stip near Harrahs. You can get breakfast and dinner buffets a few dollars less at the Imperial Palace and at the Gold Coast.
