Or at least get a better view. Some hotels are all suite like the Rio and Wynn. If you have a choice of strip or mountain views, take the mountain, it is so much nicer. The strip isn't very nice looking during the day. When I say strip, I mean in town. Where are you staying, btw? The best view in Vegas by far is at the Rio's Voodoo lounge at the top of the hotel but since the Rio is off the strip, only worth it if you're staying there or going to play(they are off the strip so your odds of fucking a novice are great). If you check for parties that say local or industry night, go to that. It is full of fun locals who might show you around. I got to know Vegas because a good friend works at the Wynn. She used to work at Rain and I was there with her in February- Saturday is good and the wristband is a good deal, open bar top shelf and champagne for around 100, not sure, we didn't pay for it. If you're staying there, ask for the band comped with your room. You also want to hit Tao and sometimes Pure, the other clubs are ok, just crappy music(which is a common theme). Btw, alcohol is 24/7 there so you don't have to stop drinking at 4:am.

check the west coast threads.

There is always something going on. I went to Moon and loved every minute of it. I also happened to see Markus there so yay

Plus TA's are awesome.

I stayed at Mandalay Bay - ooh how I love work trips!

Whatever you do, don't elope in Las Vegas. It's fast, relatively cheap, and makes a great story. But the hangover of a spouse + lawyer fees for the divorce isn't worth it.

Although I admit, if I had it all to all over again, I still would've married that rat bastard con artist. It was a fun night. But he racked up a lot of debt on our joint credit cards and then had an affair and put all his presents to her on the credit cards. And stuck me with the bill. But he's been history for 5 years now, so I can laugh about it now. Sort of.

Went there for 1 night and next day this past summer. Some advice I guess.

1. Once you walk off the terminal you'll know why vegas is meant for gambling

2. I stayed at the Luxor.(50+resrot fee/night) I asked for the tower rooms(Better than pyramid) and got it with no hassel. Check in was a wait though.

3. At New York, New York they offer morning learn how to play craps classes for free. 30 minutes or so and then you get to start off with 5 $ min.

4. Watching the bellagio fountain show from the top of paris tower is cool during the night.

5. Avoid the strip buses. With the traffic and stops it takes forever to go anywhere. Probably faster to walk unless you really are that tired.

6. Collect the stripper promotion cards they give out at this one intersection near paris and give them to your friends back home.

Bunny Ranch is really far from Vegas. If you pick up a booklet on the strip, just make sure you use three condoms and don't turn your back.

Posted by element-y on Dec-08-2009 05:16:

Collect the stripper cards and hand them back to the hand out men. They just stare at you and have no idea wtf and actually take it haha.

keep it comin guys! this is all gold

Take your gambling money, rent a car, drive to lake Mead (about 30 mins away), rent a speed boat for a day (do come early tho, sun sets at around 5pm and there's no dusk, it goes dark because of mountains). Be careful when walking around barefoot on land around the lake tho - saw a black widow and heard a rattlesnake. Still, it was one of the most amazing days of my life... Saw Hoover damb and got to see bass fishes you only see on fishing shows. ****** must have been at least 30 lbs.

Posted by aNYthing on Dec-08-2009 07:14:

If you can, catch Cirque Du Soleil "O" at Bellagio - fucking sick. My only regret was that I didn't have a spliff beforehand to make it even more awesome. Also, fountains and botanical garden at bellagio is a must see as well. It's a good place to gamble too - won $900 on BJ tables. Just look for a crew that plays by the rules. If a jerk off stays on 13 or hits on 18 when dealer is showing 10 - move along.

Stay away from the far side of the sstrip - Luxor, Excalibur, Mandalay bay, etc. Horrible stank places and lousy experience all around

Posted by element-y on Dec-08-2009 07:20:

Lake Las Vegas is very nice. No powerboats but its a great place to watch a sunset and get away from everything - well they have casinos there as well but it doesnt feel so vegas-esque.

def hit elyyse up, ever since shes moved out there shes been partying it up -- she'd definitely know all the places to go

Posted by gimmebeatz on Dec-08-2009 20:45:

cirque du soleil at the mirage was unreal. i saw the beatles "love" performance. not sure if its still playing there but if it is its certainly worth seeing.

bunny ranch is about 4 hours from vegas down closer to reno.

i heard drais is a good afterhours spot as well. personally cant say since ive never been but heard from friends who have enjoyed it.
