Hookers are legal. Just sayin'...

You alone or with a significant other?

Eat shrooms and go see a Cirque show. Even with out the shrooms a Cirque show is a great way to spend the evening.

• Go check out hoover damn.
• Go eat at the Rio Buffet, bring fat pants.
• Bellagio fountain.
• Mirage volcano.
• Bring comfy shoes and tour all the casinos/hotels.
• Go shopping.
• Crazy Horse show at the MGM.
• Eat OMFG steak at Tender in the Luxor.
• Brunch Buffet at Planet Hollywood.
• Freemont Street.
• Craps.

Things to skip:

• Chris Angel Cirque show. Some things don't go together.
• Stratosphere Restaurant. Over priced, food was meh
• Roullette

shoot heroine with truckers!!!

I'd like to have this on my headstone:

Just got back from there this last weekend. Stayed at Venetian. Place sucked.
Going back again in 3 days.

Pure, Tao, XS if you're into clubs.

I prefer shows like the Cirque ones. I've seen almost all of them excluding Love, Zumanity, and Cris Angel which I refuse. Phantom was really good. So was Le Reve.

I like to pick a name out of the phone book and kill them. Great way to pass a little time.

3some FTW.

Ride the Hot Shot or whatever that vertical catapult ride is called on the top of the Stratosphere. Awesome.

If you play Blackjack, use a basic strategy card. The dealers do not care if you use them.

fremont street
i thought the statosphere was cool
rent a viper and see the grand canyon(or at least take a bus trip)

Don't buy packs of nude playing cards for your buddys. I swear the pictures are all from the early 80's. Man, chicks were ugly back then.

I've played a little Blackjack, but where do you get a strategy card?

Chris

Blue Man Group shows are good too.

And the best cheap matinee show is the Mac King Magic Show bar none.
I must've busted my appendix laughing so hard.

You can print them out online, tailored to the rules for that casino. Number of decks, random shuffle, dealer hits on 16 stays on 17, soft hits, etc. If you follow it the house edge will be pretty low, like 1-3%. One of the better odds games. In the evenings it is hard to find low limit tables on the strip. Fremont will have several, and Fremont is cool if you have never seen it, worth the trip.

two words:

Bellagio Buffet

Are you looking for things to do that cost significant money or things that are cheap?

For one of the best meals you can have, eat at Olives in the Bellagio Mall. Spendy but not outrageous. Phenominal food. Have the carpaccio appetizer. If it's not outlandishly hot you can eat outside and watch the Bellagio fountains.

Ti Buffet> Bellagio Buffet

I've had the Buffet at TI and thought it was meh. Having said that I've never eaten at the Bellagio either, but can't imagine it being worse than TI.

What ever you do, dont tell us about it.

I was there 2 weeks ago, drove the Miata 900 miles round trip there and back. Wife and I stayed at Trump International. We went to Treasure Island, Wynns, The Venetian, Caesar's, Bellagio, and Planet Hollywood. TI and The Venetian in my book were the two best to visit. Wynns has a great restaurant inside that wasn't to expensive. Same with TI, nice Hawaiian themed restaurant inside.

Wife was pretty much toast from 10 am till bed time, street side margarita vendors :D

Oh yeah, forgot.

Buy a jug of your favorite booze when you get there. Drinks tend to be watery in Vegas. Add a slug to drinks you buy or get at the tables. Buy a couple big cups with straws in the top to carry if you mix your own. If you drink seven/seven, jack/coke type drinks you can always just pour the good stuff right into the pop bottle and carry those.

drinks also tend to be free at the tables. watery or not, they're F R E E

^ Word. Tip the waitress to keep her coming back often. Usually they will stop by every 15-30 minutes. Also if you get crappy waitress service, like only one pass by every hour, complain to the pit boss. You may get a couple of free drinks out of it at the bar after you leave the table.

Also, at some casinos, you can call your liquor. For example instead of ordering a whiskey and coke you can order a Crown and coke.

And sprucing up a free drink is wrong why?

On a side note, those "free" drinks get really expensive when they impair your play or a hot table turns cold but you keep play waiting for that drink to come.

Go to a comedy show and heckle the comedians. Go to Hooters. Eat at the main restaurant at Paris. The pool at Caesar's is amazing btw.
