My 10th anniversary is coming up soon.  Husband and I are going to Las
Vegas for a long weekend to celebrate.  I need to come up with a good
anniversary gift for him.  He likes to cook, so I was thinking about a
weekend cooking school or maybe tickets to the filming of one of those
cooking shows on tv - like "Emeril Live."  He also likes to hunt and
fish, so maybe some equipment or lessons or tours in that area.

We live near Columbus Ohio, but he can travel wherever he needs to go
to take any lessons.  I'd like to keep it in the $500.00 range.  I
would prefer something that can be taken with me to Las Vegas (like a
gift certificate or something small) and given to him there.  He does
work a lot, but probably could manage to take up to a week off for
something fun.  Long weekends would be better.

Please help me find out: 
1. What the "traditional" 10th anniversary gift is.
2.  How I get tickets to a cooking show
3.  Some options for cooking or sportsman lessons.

nkamom,

Since your other, similar question about cooking schools has been
answered, you may want to cancel this one. Otherwise someone might
attempt to answer it, and you would be charged twice.

How about a Helicopter ride from Las Vegas to Grand canyon and back.
It is a lot of fun.
