VEGAS HERE WE COME---SUGGESTIONS ANYBODY ??

[Bretsky]

Mrs Bretsky got us an excursion to Las Vegas for a few days at the end of this month.

For those who have recently been there, I'm wondering if you could offer some must see suggestions. I'd pay for shows if it was worth the time; as many know they are costly.

Always wanted to see O...........but at over $200 a person I keep thinking how much fun I'd have with Skin and Nutz in Milwaukee and that wouldn't cost near the $200.

We have front row tickets to the Frank Caliendo show; I think the guy is dam funny and my wife bookied front row tix. Of course I'll be wearing (sorry) the Brett Favre 2004 Pro Bowl Jersey and try to egg him on. She planned most of this for Xmas to remind me of what a great guy I am...I think

We haven't been there, sadly, in about 10 years. Last time we saw Sigfried and Roy (before the accident) and a few other shows.

Of course we'll hit the casinos and play blackjack...and my wife will get dressed up one night with her low cut outfit and we'll go play craps like da movies.......

But............anybody want to offer suggestions on any must see shows/ attractions.....would be appreciated......................



Cheers,
B

Can you post some pictures of your wife in her low cut outfit?

NO........lol
She's very well endowed And I say that in a complementary manner

the only time i've been there was 10 years ago for the old 21st

saw Sigfried and Roy also, great show. but the best was little richard and chuck berry at the palace. those two guys were old as hell, but they could still bring it

the only advice i can give is to remember that as long as your gambling, the drinks are free. or at least they use to be

so you can come out a winner. if you lose 200 busk at blackjack, just make sure you and the mrs drink a couple hundred dollars worth of alcohol

the next day you won't even know you lost anything

oh, and i think there's some hot ass hooker out there that looks like the chick from adventures in babysitting

Everytime I go I hit some hotsprings nearby and go see

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:

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.

I'm told that Woody planted that tree.

I saw the Beatles "Love" Cirque show last time I was down there. It was better than I thought it would be.

There's tons of Broadway shows there now.

If you really want to impress the wife go to Picasso's at the Bellagio for dinner. It will run you about $500 with wine pairings but was hands down the best meal I have ever eaten.

I love the sports book at Bellagio or at The Mirage. I love spending early afternoon's in the leather chairs and dark lighting betting the ponies while recovering from my hangover.

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.

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

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!
