- Dr. Evil & Mini Me Fancy Dress Costumes?
We have a fancy dress party to go to in February, and my husband and son want to go as Dr. Evil and Mini Me! The problem is that although I can find a costume for my husband, I can't find anything for my 10 year old son! I'm no seamstress and would struggle to make my son a costume. Does anyone know where I can get a child's Dr. Evil / Mini Me costume? Better still is there anyone out there who has one they would like to sell?

A Well, you might be able to get a local tailor to take on the project. It might not be as expensive as you think. Another idea is to get another adult Dr. Evil suit, and have the tailor do alteration It should be a relatively simple matter of hemming the pants (get a really good belt, though!), and hemming the sleeves -- and taking in the back seam. The collar would be kind of a pain, but it's a mandarin collar, isn't it? If your son was 5, it'd be a lot harder to alter, but at 10, the kid is probably big enough to make it worth considering. Good luck! (-: I can't help wondering what you are going as (-:.

- Any advice on a first timer in Las Vegas for Halloween?
Got the airfare and hotels already booked, staying at Circus Circus. Flying in from Denver, leave there at 815am on a Thursday. Friday is Halloween and I already have a kickass Dr. Evil costume. I leave Sunday at 630pm local time. My question is this. What are some great things to do in Vegas on the cheap, outside of gambling... for example, I am going to the shark reef. $20 for 4 hours of walking around, works for me. What places should I hit up, see, do, whatever... also, it's my first time in Vegas and I am well over 21. So, skies the limit. I will add this too... no, not making a trip to the Bunny Ranch. Or the Chicken Ranch or any other ranch for that matter...

A There is lots you can do on a budget. Across the street from the Monte Carlo hotel is a giant Coca Cola store, and a M & M store. The M & M store has a fun 3D movie that is totally free. And if you want to go off the strip you can check out the Ethel M chocolate factory tour for free (link below), They also have a cactus garden. Hotel lobbies are fun, and many have cool things to see like the lions at the MGM. Many roller coasters too including the Saraha, New York, New York, Stratosphere, as well as Circus Circus (which is a whole world itself with many free shows every hour or so). Look for cheap tickets for the Tournament of Kings dinner show at the Excalibur. Really cool and interactive. When you check into the hotel ask the concierge of anything special for Halloween. My husband was there two years ago for Halloween and said it was decorated cool. They also have a haunted Vegas ghost tour.
