Las Vegas

[b/w05]

Anyone out there from Las Vegas? Leaving for there this Wednesday morning for 4 days. My wife & I and another couple are going for my 50th.

I'd like a weather report and some suggestions for where to go & where NOT to go. It's our first time.

This was supposed to be a surprise for my friend & I but I accidently came accross the airline tickets. So it's still a surprise for my best friend. We leave Portland at 6:00am. My friend's wife is going to wake him up at 3:00 am and tell him to get dressed & grab the bag next to his bed and we'll be in the driveway!

Where are you staying?

What do you want to do? Gamble? See the Sights?

One Recommendations is to see The Blue Man Group at the Luxor, you will not be disapointed, the show is worth every penny.

We strongly recommend Mystere at Treasure Island. We have seen all of the other shows and like this one the most. O at The Bellagio would be our second option. You really can't go wrong in the restaurant department...unfortunatley there are too many good ones to recommend, unless you specify the type(s) of food. This weekend is supposed to be great weather-wise, in the mid 60's. Have fun and let loose!

Really???? I was kinda dissapointed w BMG.
Jilly Tequilla is right, what do you want to do or see. I'll be there for the Western Veterinary Conference from Feb 18-22 then for a boys weekend on March 1-4. For the conference, we will be going to a magic show, and I think Zoomanity. I'm staying in New York New York, then Luxor for the guys gig. There are soooooo many restaurants it's virtually impossible to pick one out. Binions in old town has a good steak house, the seafood buffet at Belagio is wonderful, and there is a little italian joint called Batistas Hole in the Wall across from Ballys that we enjoy.
I've been to some horrible Topless Reviews, especially the one at Ballys, my favorite casino is The Golden Nugget for gambling, The Rio for partying, and NY NY/ Venetian for looks and sights. Jilly if this is your first time then just go stroll around and check everything out, maybe book one show, but just LOOK. Dont forget to hit old town, the overhead light show is worth the trip, but the casinos are cool and everything is much cheaper there.
In the past 5 years or so Las Vegas has gotten very expensive, the days of the $2 beer at the bar are long gone, more like a $5 bud light. Also the food is VERY expensive, one day last year I was in the Luxor and wanted a turkey sandwich from a little deli there; sucker cost me 14 bucks with a coke and no chips. All in all Las Vegas is amazing and I'm stoked that your going for your first time, have FUN!!!
And remember what happens in Vegas......stays in Vegas.....just look for the Adams Apple if you know what I mean, don't wanna get a suprise

that sounds like a fun time, and a fun surprise!!

[b/w05]

We're staying at the Stratos??

We like to drink!!, Some gambling, not a must have for very long. Probably some shows. I think I'd like to site see??, maybe look at what there is besides the gambling?? I/we're pretty open and up for just about anything. Well,,,, I,m not into the adams apple thing!, I plan on staying with team I was born with.

We like all kinds of food. Most likely we'll go out for a nice dinner at least once. The rest of the time we'll eat on the run.

Play hard, drink lots. If anyone asks it wasn't me!

Mark,

My wife and I were there last August and saw the Beatles Cirque Du Solei at the Mirage. It kicked A$$, awesome sound system and lost of cool acrobatics to look at. Tickets were 125 and well worth it.
In the past we have seen Elton John at Ceasars and good old Jimmy Buffet at MGM. I highly recommend bringing a bottle of booze and some throw away cups. I usually make a strong drink in the morning and take it to the pool, then drink a series of really strong drinks after the pool in our room before showering and top it off with an unbelievably strong drink to take onto the strip on our way to have some fun. Usually I end up finishing my binge drinking with a few beers, it's a lot cheaper that way.
You will have a blast no matter what you do, just get ready for the little people trying to hand out the porno cards for the call girls.

I've seen blue man twice in chi=town .. good show.
I hear O was sweet and also heard good things about the beatles show.
We play a fun game of tease the "ladys of the night"....you get a group at the blackjack tables and start making a bunch of noise like your just kill'n it in winnings and then they have to leave thier perches to check you out you only won $10 bucks...ha ha

Nope nothing wrong with being obsessed with Tige's
