VEGAS HERE WE COME---SUGGESTIONS ANYBODY ??

[red]

I'm going to Vegas too... I'll be 21 just in time. I'm going for my spring break (march 19th) for 6 days... Can't wait

I'm not sure Nevada was even a state when I turned 21. I think it was still owned by Spain!

wasn't it just one big inland sea back then?

We were there last May.. Stayed at the Flamingo, mid strip..

Saw Mystere and thought it was great.. Bought front row ticks at a Kiosk in the Venetian. Paid much less for the tickets, but had to go that night.

Also saw Blue Man group, that was pretty cool as well!

If you get a chance, go the Fremont Street, great place to walk around and see some sights.. They had a Woodstock / 1969 light show on the "ceiling" this past year, probably not there now..

Do NOT go to VooDoo lounge at the Rio.. Very pricey, portions not that large, and our wonderful waiter stole $100.00 from the tab..

You probably should hit a http://www.in-n-out.com/ while there.

Been to Vegas about 15 times in last 8 years (it's only 3-4 hr drive for me).

Quick trip over to the Hoover Dam to get out of the city.
Check out the 'Pawn Shop' from the television show. If you haven't seen it - it's fricken hilarious.

Phantom was very well done.

The shark exhibit is worth the money (like $10-$15).

If you're smart, get her a day spa at one of the nicer hotels. Gives you a chance to see your 'adult' shows or just gamble solo. And it's worth it when she's all relaxed. :P

You can go to Mystere for under $100. Funny story - I went about 6 years ago and was randomly selected from the crowd to be a bit actor. They picked me up in a golf cart, ran me through a fake wall and immediately dressed me in a bib, diapers and bottle. I followed the FAT baby around and did some silly shit. But a good memory.

Then make a night of just seeing the strip - the light shows, ship fights, canals, shopping.

Personally I can't stand Vegas for more than 2 days. Too much drinking, craziness, etc.

I always assumed those people were plants and worked for the show. Good for you!

Is Dita Von Teese going to be in town?

As soon as I got back to my seat, the people around me said what a great job I did and how much I got paid, etc. Same thing as we were leaving. No one would believe me.

I'm not a fan of Picasso's. I thought it was nice and all, and you can certainly eat and drink there for much less than $500, but didn't bring anything to the table I thought was unique or exceptionally awesome. Catching the fountain show at night from a window table is a bonus, but didn't give me an erection unfortunately.

The pate was out of this world. The lamb reduction sauce was to die for. The wine pairs were perfect and to be sitting next to a $10,000,000 painting pushed it over the top.

Sorry to hear that your night wasn't as exceptional.

I'm sorry, but I can't not read "to die for" without the gay accent.

There are so many great places to eat in Vegas, the only challenge is fitting as many in as possible. That is the one thing I would plan ahead though, B. Your food itinerary and budget.

Joel Robuchon's place is better than both of your suggestions.

Perhap's even Alex.

Ty, if he can, always drops in at Lotus of Siam.

Haven't been yet. It's on the list for our next visit.

I've never been to Vegas (other than passing through the airport). It goes against my stingy, miserly nature!

Then take a weekday trip now. I just finished a project with a guy in Vegas who tells me you can stay at the Hard Rock for $44 a night m-Th. Everything's cheap there right now because they're so depressed.

We're headed there for 3 days and 2 nights; just a getaway. Heard Mystere was about 200 per person. Have to go check that out again

We've been to O and Mystere, and both agreed Mystere was the better production, though I would like to see the Zumanity one about sex. I don't recall where we got the tickets, but they were much closer to $100 each than $200.

You can probably find some deals in this if you're into that: http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1288629

Instead of shows now, we just eat. I would recommend these over the others:

http://www.aureolelv.com/

Aureole runs about $100 per person with wine, but we make sure to get there once each visit. Take a look at the Hash House photo gallery and tell me you won't go.

Have to go look into Zumanity; Thx

We went to Mystere years ago; solid show

I think my wife wants to see a chick nudie show; any suggestions ?
