Which is the most reliable and affordable luxury car rental place in Vegas?




Celine


I am trying to find a good and fair deal on renting Aston Martin Vanquish. So far, my online searches didn't end up good, most rental spots that have the car either have really bad reviews or are out of state. Anyone has an idea which ones I could contact with my request in Las Vegas, NV and not get ripped off?


Answer
Are you sure you really need the V12 Vanquish? The only place in town that would rent one to you is Beverly Hills Rent-A-Car and it will cost you $3,500/day

If you can "settle" for an Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Rent-A-Vette has one for as little as $595/day

Both are reputable companies that have local offices in Las Vegas.

San Fransisco, Las Vegas & Los Angeles?

We're thinking of doing this for our holiday next year, but are unsure of what there is to do in the cities/
We're a family of six 3 adults and 3 children (3 children are 19, 16 and 11) so Las Vegas especially we are unsure of.
Does anyone know of any good/interesting places to go and visit in these 3 places, especially for the 11 year old.



Answer
TOP 10 things in San Francisco
======================

* Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39 and Ghirardelli Square: Together, they encompass much of the stereotypical San Francisco sights and are perhaps the most popular things to do in San Francisco.

* Alcatraz: The former prison wasn't always a place people wanted to go, but today it's one of the city's most popular sights.

* The Golden Gate Bridge: Not only is it one of the city's most enjoyable things to do, but it's also one of the most-photographed sights in the world.

Things to do in San Francisco - Around Town

* Cable Cars are often called San Francisco's moving landmark. And they're a fun way to get around, too.

* Chinatown expresses what early 20th Century Western architects thought Chinese buildings should look like.

* The Exploratorium is a modern, hands-on science museum housed in The Palace of Fine Arts, a Roman-style remainder of the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition.

* Lombard, the "Crookedest" Street is neither the crookedest street in San Francisco nor the steepest, but it's surely the best-known.

* Golden Gate Park, the city's largest park.

TOP 10 things in Los Angeles
======================

1. La Brea Tar Pits

Definitely the place to go if you feel like taking a step back in time. The La Brea Tar Pits and the George C. Page Museum hold more than a million bones from different animals.

2. Petersen Automotive Museum

Car lovers prepare to feast your eyes when you visit this museum.

3. Universal Studios

Everyone wants to pay a visit to this place where you can see first hand how a big budget movie is made. You can walk through sets used for movies seen all over the world.

4. Sunset Boulevard

Who has not heard of this street? Immortalized in songs and movies and other media, you can find all sorts of entertainment.

5. J. Paul Getty Center

View the Los Angeles skyline from atop a hill when you visit the J. Paul Getty Center. More than that though, marvel at the grand architecture of the buildings at the Center.

6. Hollywood

You are in Los Angeles and you just cannot NOT go to Hollywood at least once!

7. Rodeo Drive

Everyone feels like shopping one time or another.

8. Los Angeles Zoo

What can be more relaxing than a day at the zoo?

9. Hollywood Bowl

music lover that I am, the Hollywood Bowl cannot be missing from my list.

10. Music Center

Located in downtown Los Angeles, is the site of the Academy Awards program.


AND OF COURSE DISNEY LAND RESORTS IN LOS ANGELES

TOP 10 things in Las Vegas
=====================

CityCenter

CityCenter is an urban community filled with fine art and spectacular architecture.

Wynn Las Vegas

At Wynn Las Vegas you will vicariously experience luxury at prices that certainly are not cheap, but on weekdays for most of the year are surprisingly affordable for an experience such as this.

Colosseum at Caesars Palace

Taking over the fabulous Colosseum at Caesars Palace is Cherâthe nearly immortal actress, singer, and songwriter whose career has spanned over an amazing four-decade period. For fans, Cher Las Vegas will be a treat highlighting the artistâs career over time.

The Pool at the Mirage Hotel

When you walk into the lobby of the Mirage Hotel, located in the heart of the Strip, you immediately step into an atrium which is akin to a tropical rainforest. Trees, waterfalls, exotic birds -- they're all here.

The Canyon Ranch SpaClub at the Venetian Hotel

Although this is Las Vegas, the Spa at the Venetian is considerably better than the spas at many luxury resorts which are in the spa business.

The Liberace Museum

I'm not kidding. This is the best $15.00 you will spend in Las Vegas ($10 for seniors 65+) . I'll have to admit that my recollection of the great pianist was pretty hazy.

Gaming Classes at the Las Vegas Hilton

I notice in Las Vegas they always refer to gambling classes as "gaming classes." Is this to make it all sound...nicer? I'm not sure, but I'm glad these classes are available, because I certainly don't know all the ins and outs of pai gow poker.

Dinner at Emeril's

Las Vegas hasn't often been thought of as a gastronome's delight.

Flip It

No, this isn't tiddly winks. It's tiddly's slick and mischievous evil twin.

Stratosphere Tower

Why do the words "only in Las Vegas" come to mind when I think of the Stratosphere Tower? I'll tell you why. This is the tallest free-standing observation tower in the U.S.A.

Okay, I admit it, Las Vegas is too big for a top ten. So here's three more!

The Strip

Casinos

Bellagio Hotel

Is a 2001 Mercedes c240 reliable?




Natalya


I have the opportunity to buy a used Mercedes that is right at bluebook value. It has 75,000 miles on it, and I need something to take me from Denver to Corvallis twice a year for three years with minimal driving inbetween. Let's say 16,000 miles total. Do you think this car is capable of that, or would I be paying too much for luxury rather than reliability? Does anyone know of typical problems that happen with this besides the Mass Air Flow problems I read about? Does anyone own one? Thanks!


Answer
They're generally okay. But, and this goes for ANY used vehicle, how it has been driven and maintained during the past 10 years will have a huge impact on its future reliability.

If you're seriously considering buying this vehicle, make it a condition of sale that it is to be inspected at a dealer or other trusted shop of YOUR choosing prior to finalizing the deal. This will hopefully keep you from getting stuck with any unanticipated repairs in the near future.

How much can I afford to spend?




Mr J Man


I understand if you live in major cities like Chicago, Denver, or New York that even $100,000 per year is considered good but not really rich. However if you live in a small city like me where you can buy a large house for only $600 per month, you can live like a king compared to all of the people in the city who work regular jobs barely making ends meet. I started a new job I have been at for six months now and I still run my internet business where it brings in income as well, so I am guessing I may make $60 - $70 thousand per year now.

I am a divorced man with a paid off car and my house payments are very low with no kids. Heck I don't even get to spend a lot of my checks they just sit in my account as I have thousands of dollars left over after I pay for the things I need. I am wondering how much I can really afford though? I wonder if I could actually afford a new Benz or other luxury, or am I going beyond my means? When I see other people with really expensive cars I wonder how much money they make to afford those things. I naturally assume that they are doctors, lawyers, or married with both working good jobs and family support. Please let me know as I am not sure if I should still live in a neighborhood with people who make a huge deal about spending $10 dollars on something.
Well I do not believe almost everyone with these cars are in debt and suffering. I am referring to the people who can actually afford it. I am wondering since I have been middle class all of my life if I actually make more than I am used to and should live like it instead of holding myself back. The car was only an example, I meant living in a nicer neighborhood because even three working low class people can afford a house. When I get home I see guys with big rims hanging outside like we are in the projects and even though there are no crime reports I wonder if I am able to afford living a nicer lifestyle.



Answer
I used to wonder the same thing... how can it be that everybody around me drives a new car while I still have the same old paid off car.

One day I got the courage up to ask questions... and the answers were shocking. These people are so used to spend over 90% of their paycheck to satisfy fixed bills including car payments, boat payments, house payments, credit cards that require $100's of dollars per month to satisfy the minimum payment due and then there is nothing left.... They have no money for food and their cupboard and refrigerators are empty. They simply can't afford to lightly spend $10 on anything after they paid their monthly bills.

Buy your Benz with cash and enjoy life. You managed to live way below your means and that is a great thing to do.
