Vegas Help or advice
 

My wife and I are winging to Vegas this Friday for a long weekend, any must do or see while we are there? This will be the first time in Vegas for both of us.

Darren

That's a loaded question!

Imperial place has a nice car collection on the top floor. Go to the bell mans desk and ask for a pass or just go up stairs and pay the fee.

Not sure what your into but I do suggest eating at Isla inside the T.I. Social House Sushi is also there and very good. Diablos is also good eats. It's across the street from the Harley Davidson Cafe.

Let me know more of what your into and I can make a few suggestions. Also where are you staying?

I'm out of town starting tomorrow or the wife and I would come join you for dinner and a show.

:cheers:

Ya gotta do the brunch at the Steak House at Ballys on Sunday! WOW! Awesome selection! Great Crab Legs and HUGE shrimp!

Sunday is also REHAB day at the Hard Rock Hotel so if you want to observe the spectacle that is REHAB get a patio table at the Pink Taco and watch the action unfold while sipping on a nice cool Margarita!

REHAB is insane! :thumbsup:

Thanks for the suggestions! Looking for the stuff you guys are throwing out there. Cars are good, food is good, the little things that are not necessarily touristy.....Explain this REHAB at the Hardrock....Is my pasty white midwestern A$$ going to fit in :_paranoid ?

We are staying at MGM. My wife has a conference there on Monday. We are flying in on Friday morning, and I leave Monday morning to come home. Looking at the weather, high 90's all weekend! Can't wait, been low 60's and rain here for about a week! ( I better bring a big jug of sunscreen)

Thanks!

If you want to catch a show, the Cirque de Soleil shows are incredible. The last one I went to was O at the Bellagio. Definitely worth checking out.

I always enjoy just standing on the street watching the "card flippers" :lol:
I have quite a large collection of them at home. They make for great x-mas gifts !

any of the cirque shows! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Then all the tourist stuff.. Hoover damn, you can take a helicopter ride..up to you though.

Scott is right any of the Cirque de Soleil shows are great. There is a discount show ticket office in front of the mall (by the T.I.). I suggest you stop in and check it out. Could save a pretty penny on tickets.

REHAB is one heck of a beech party. The ladies are very entertaining. Not the kind of place a pasty white pot belly fits in, but you can always admire.

If your staying at MGM I suggest breakfast at the Studio 54 Cafe. Good stuff! Plenty to see and do around there. Be sure to take in the fountain show.

Have fun

Who said anything about a potbelly? :_paranoid

Thanks guys! Should be a blast, no rest for the wicked!

Darren

By the way...the fountain show is at the Bellagio (if you didn't know). The Valcano at the Mirage is cool as well for a first timer. These 2 things are best at night for obvious reasons. Also, if you like Chinese food, go to PF Changs inside planet Hollywood and take your wife to the mall at the Venecian, guaranteed you have not seen a mall like that before!!! but beware of the silver painted statues...they can take you by surprise, lol.

Survived Vegas
 

Man, what a trip, what a blast! The MGM was great, service was first rate and the room was nice and clean. The CMA awards were in town on Sunday night and everyroom in the place was SOLD OUT the whole weekend. Crazy packed. This made for great pool time! :yes: It was HOT the whole time as well. Over 100 Sat, Sun, Monday.

Had unbelievable meals, and just an all around great time. The Wynn, Belliagio, Palazzo, Venetian are just fantastic.

Flip Cards! What a joke. My wife wanted to know how I knew they were called 'flip cards'....I blamed you guys!

Thanks for the tips!

ready to go back for SEMA.....

Darren

good to here you had a good time in the crazy city I call home.lol
yea this weekend was the first hot weekend weve got and it sucked...
did you see any shows?

I was wondering how your trip went. Did you make it over to ATS?

Glad you had a good time. Let me know when your ready for round 2 and maybe we can meet up.

no shows this time around. Hung around the Casino on Friday night, Saturday night did the strip, Sunday, went to NY NY and Luxor and Mandalay Bay. I would love to come back again and see some shows.


Did not make it to ATS, My wife was with me and would not have enjoyed that! (it was her trip, she was in town for a conference and we just flew out a couple of days earlier to take a mini vacation from the kids :thumbsup: )

How often do you guys make to the strip since you live there?



Darren

i used to go there every weekend.. but now i try to avoid it.lol

I only go down there when guys like you are in town. lol Next time the wife is in the conference I'll take you to ATS. It's worth the trip.
