Wow.. This is so weird that this thread was at the top of the forum tonight.. I'm actually leaving for vegas on Tuesday... Getting married at Mandalay Bay. I'm there for a week.
First off .. I absolutely LOVE Vegas.. I go at least once or twice a year and are always there for business in November (SEMA).
All of the posts in this thread are extremely good and accurate...
Things were planning on doing (most with my buds before the wedding day).. Most i've done before..but some I haven't...
1. Gun Store-- shoots some stuff
2. Exotic car tour or Speedway Tour- Basically you pay $400-$500.. These guys show up to your hotel with 6 super cars- Lambo, Ferrari, Bentley, Z06, SLR, and something else (it changes). 6 people go out and you get to drive each car for half an hour and they take you on a road tour out to red rock. The speedway tour is a little better.. You go to the vegas speedway.. Have a short driving school (in class) on technique. One of the instructor then take you out on the track for 2 hot laps under instruction in a Porshe Cayenne. After that you get to choose from one of the 6 super cars listed above and you get to do 5 hot laps.. (pretty much full out by what I have heard)
3. Hoover Dam - much cooler after transformers
4. Freemont street
5. Going to see Chumlee at the Pawn Store (Pawnstars)
Tips..
1.Ride the Deuce- 3dollars 1 way, 7 dollars all day (bus that goes up and down the strip)..
2.Use the monorail- Basically runs through all the casinos on the east side of the strip.. You can buy a pass for the whole week.
3.EVERYTHING on Freemont street is cheaper... Booze, gambling, food, Souveniers, +++
4. Check out all the free shows-- Mirage Volcano, TI-show, Bellagio fountain
5. Get a players card and play at one property.. you get the most comp that way...
6. If your going to a club... Pay for Bottle service... Dudes dont' get in without chicks.. It's actually very degrading...
7. Pre-drink like crazy.. Booze at the clubs are ridiculous.. Rye and Coke at studio 54 is $15 plus tip
8. Don't bother with the strip clubs.. Honestly there a big scam down there.. $40-$50 dollar cover, $15 dollar drinks, Girls are asking for tips(its pathetic) and for us as Canadian's its a big scam cause they don't take there bottoms off down there.... They will do anything to get you to the strip clubs in vegas.. Offer free Limo to the club, rebate on Cover, blah, blah, blah.. Stay away.. You see as much in the clubs as you do at the strippers..
Oh... and clubs....
Ghost bar @ Palms
Rain @ Palms
Jet @ mirage
Tao @ Venetian
LAX or Cat house @ Luxor
Bank @ Bellagio
Pure @ Ceasars
Those are the big ones I can think off... Might see you down there.. I'm there from the 31st to the 7th... We'll be partying every night....
