Yea! Vegas Baby Yea!

so i'm turning 21 this august, and my friends (older) and i have planned a trip to go to vegas this christmas break (12/28 - 1/1).

besides gambling, drinking, and walking on the strip to see the free shows, does anybody have any recommendations on what else we can do?

also, does anyone know if there will be any big names having gigs at that time? i know it's in advance, but maybe someone has an inside word. van dyk had a show in vegas last year on the 30, so i figure there might be something like that this time around...

Someone big will no doubt be there for new years. Its a long ways off so dont expect to hear anything til after the summer at the earliest. Vegas is overated imo. At least youre going when its not hot as hell.

vegas is weak. Smoke-drenched casino's, blank faces of gamblers, and ok clubs. I guess it depends on the person, but I seriously don't recommend it.

yea, i've never been obviously, but i'm still kind of curious to see it. as a foreigner, it's one of those things that i've felt i've needed to do since i've been here for so long.

i'm assuming that's why most people have to be real drunk to actually enjoy it

like i said though, it's one of the things i've wanted to do...it'll be fun with friends...

yeah its cool with a bunch of people and drinking the whole time, it just doesnt live up to the hype once youve been there a few times. I also have shitty luck with the slot machines lol.

i liked doing some of the thrill rides on top of the Stratosphere Hotel. pretty good rush, if you're into that type of stuff

Be sure to check out Pure which is the hottest nightclub in Vegas and Drais which is the best afterhours in Vegas. And remember, what happens in Vegas STAYS in Vegas!!!

Posted by ShadoWolf on Jun-16-2006 23:54:

I Las Vegas.

Ice is the best club in Vegas IMO.... except when they oversell.

Posted by DjConfessions on Jun-17-2006 00:56:

play DDR at that nice arcade

Posted by Boomer187 on Jun-17-2006 01:02:

Yea, pure is the hottest nightclub, but that is just due to temperature. They were ok when they had faarsheed on the terrace, but now they are just average.

Ice gets in the talent, so does empire. So expect a few big names at ice.

oh and it gets freakin chilly at night around then...dont forget some semi warm clothes.

Posted by JBDreamerie on Jun-17-2006 04:31:

thanks for the advice everyone!
hopefully a big name DJ will be there and i will be able to see some of the clubbing vegas life.

i'm surprised no one really mentioned hoover dam; i was looking into it, and it seemed doable. anybody know if its worth it? it is one of the wonders of the modern world...

If you're there for a week or so, it's definitely worth spending 4 hours to see the Hoover Dam (esp. on Gray Line).

I had an awesome driver - funny with lots of anecdotes. Remember to tip the driver!

If you're only in Vegas for a couple of days, there probably are other things that take priority over the Dam.

What do you think of Jet? Is it just another generic club?

Isn't Ice closing/being replaced?

Posted by Boomer187 on Jul-17-2006 04:00:

ice isn't closing. The W is building on their land but the soonest that they can buy ice out of their contract is Nov 2007. over a year.

and jet is another club, they have a house room and are getting zabiella next week, but thats it. Nothing special .

Wear walking shoes if you plan on going down the strip, unless you want your feet to hurt for days afterwards. The New York, New York roller coaster is kinda gay too. The Caeser's Palace buffet is really bad, but the buffet at the Luxor is the jam. Other than that, I don't really know what else to tell you.
