Anyone been to Vegas?
« on: October 02, 2008, 11:56:58 AM »

Right....looking at going to Vegas for a week on the 17th of this month with the Mrs whose bDay it is (its a big one)....and I've never been and don't know too many people who have either...

So have any of you?  If so, where did you stay? Where did you eat?  What did you do?  Roughly...how much are things like food/wine/beer etc?

Any advice gratefully recieved!

I have been , I stayed in the luxor ... it was amazing..... but if you want a bit of fun the hotel NEW YORK NEW YORK is awesome I wish we had stayed there .... they have uch more going on .... and a roller coaster attached to the building..... we walk round most hotels though.... all pretty amazing,

food is averaged price bout the same as what you would  expect here shops are cheap as fuck ... trainers are so cheap it untrue ....

hotels were slightly higher price ... there are some posh restuarants that charge loads though so read the menu's

I love this place and would easily go back anytime  :icon_thumleft:

was over 10yrs since i've been but it's definately 1 of the places you have to see before you go to that big race track in the sky.

the shows,hotels,casino's are something you need to see to believe. :headbang:

Not been myself, but was reading a few months back that due to the whole credit crunch thing in the States their trade was well down this year, so the hotels were more than willing to discount big time in order to try to fill their rooms & get folks into the casinos. Things have only have gotten worse since then, so you should be able to get a great deal if you're prepared to do a bit of haggling.

IIRC the article recommended sorting the flights & accom yourself on the net / via email rather use a package operator as that way you can the best prices.

Enjoy !

I'm going on the 18th !! This'll be the third time

Things you must do -

Have a meal in the Stratosphere - but not her birthday meal, cos the rotation makes you feel slightly queezy
Make best use of the free monorail
Go on the roller coaster at New York, New York
Take a stroll in the evenings up and down the strip - watch the fountains show at the Bellagio, the Pirates show at Treasure Island
On the 20th I'll be eating my birthday tea in the Eiffel tower at Paris - so if you want to see the worlds most pissed man - I'll be there.
Hire a car and go to an outlet mall - I know this doesn't sound like "fun" - but I picked up loads of Timberland gear for Matalan prices
Get out of town in a Mustang Convertable or even on a Harley (Las Vegas Harley) and go to red rock canyon or around Lake Mead - stunning scenery - and if you fancy a longer run out - go to Death Valley
If your going to go the the Grand Canyon - go in a helicopter - more expensive, but well worth the money - the car takes 4 hours, and you don't actually see very much from the rim strangely
Do an all you can eat buffet - man alive, you'll quicky realise why most of them are sooooo fat
Put $50 on red - just for the hell of it - lol

Totally ace place - but don't take the kids as some is a bit risque. You can pay as much or as little as you like - there's a real mix. The one thing you will notice though is that most people seem to make the effort - shirts and shoes and even suits rather than Tshirts and trainers - but there's no rules. Nightclubs are a little disapointing, they're all a bit snooty, but hey ho. Fruit machines aren't like the ones in the UK - just plain luck rather than any skill, and playing cards can be a bit daunting when you only just know the rules - and in my case are usually quite pissed.

Oh - and if you go at the right time - Las Vegas motorspeedway hosts the national drag racing - which is spectacular.

Next year I'm going to Reno to watch the air races - fucking A

Oh yes, and prostitution is legal in Nevada  :icon_thumright:

i go most years except i have been a bit busy with things the past three...hired a dodge viper once, took it to an indicated 173mph  fastest for me in a car...

Go see the damn, the hoover damn worth the trip for a few minutes...

I set fire to the bellagio once, well actually they set the fire i just stocked it a bit...(long story)

Yes and do the ride on top of the stratosphere, big shot plus the new see saw ride  thats gotta be good, havent done that one yet.....

I always stay at the luxor although i have tried the Venetian and New York New York...Luxor my favourite...go visit michael jacksons favourite shop, trying to remember where it was...buggered if I can remember...

Spent a few thousand pounds playing black jack and playing the fruitmachines too...great fun, just limit yourself to a fixed amount full stop....you will never win....i spent 1500 pounds on gambling fun and that was it...never a penny more...

there is a lot to do for sure...shows are good...
