Vegas Recommendations

[EMPshockwave82]

Going to Las Vegas with my lady friend on July 5th - 8th. Any shows or anything else we should really go see? I've been to Vegas once for a double bachelor party about 4 years ago and all we did was drink and gamble.

[Bateluer]

Do not spend the entire trip in a single casino gambling. Whatever you do, go out and do things, see shows, etc. You can sit around at home and drink any time.

Blue Man Show is nice.

 

[adairusmc]

Spearmint Rhino

 

[Printer Bandit]

take anything that's handed to you.

 

[GoodRevrnd]

Eat at Lotus of Siam. Best Thai food EVAR.

 

[Redfraggle]

Stay out of Hamada's. Our hotel thing said it was a highly rated place and it was overpriced shit.

We saw O when we were there, it's good. There are some other Cirque shows there too, try and catch one.

Olive's was tasty and sort of pricey, but not so bad if you ate from the fixed price dinner menu.

The flock of Flamingos at The Flamingo and the koi/some other fish ponds were neat.

I think Tiesto might be in town, check it out.

"Love" at Mirage. I've heard of people who weren't even Beatles fans enjoying it and some even checking out their music after seeing it.

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

Spearmint Rhino

I'd say Sapphire > Spearmint Rhino. But they have food at Rhino I believe.

 

[KingGheedora]

It's a trap. All of Vegas is boring unless you're aren't sober or if it's your first time there.

 

[JMapleton]

World's most expensive buffet is at Bally's on Sunday morning. Try it. It's called the Sterling Brunch.

^2. I've seen virtually all the major Vegas shows, and Love is my favorite. Mystere would be next. I saw Jersey Boys earlier this year... it was really great if you are in the mood for a more traditional Broadway show.

Samba at the Mirage is a great restaurant if you are in the mood for an all-the-meat-you-can-eat orgy.

Isla at TI is the best Mexican restaurant in the universe.

Yes, pretty good food too. Never been to sapphire though.

Don't buy your tickets online. You will see Tix4Tonight all along the strip buy from there. Each location opens at 9:00 am I think. You get way better deal there.

the mac king magic show at harrahs..not sure he is still there, saw him like yrs ago..but his show was cheap with a coupon and very entertaining.

 

[D1gger]

"O" is a very good show.

The Gun Store is fun if you like to shoot.

I had a great steak at "Switch" in the Wynn Encore two weeks ago, and the room is kind of fun, as the lights, ceiling and walls change every 20 - 30 minutes.

For me, sitting by the pool and having the pretty girls bring me drinks always makes me smile

 

[Jadow]

I had a good time at the RIO one evening, caught Penn and Teller (good, not great show), and had their awesome seafood buffet

 

[Dulanic]

I throughly enjoyed Mystère personally. The vegas indoor skydiving is pretty awsome too. A great spot to check for ideas is.....

go on the the roof top of caesar and create your own wolfpack and down some roofies.

If your lady friend like clubbing, take her to the club at the wynn called xs. Best club with beautiful women.

The #1 thing to add to your list of "Things to be done":
STAY INDOORS. July is the hottest month in Nevada. It will probably be 187* in Vegas by then. If you're really unlucky you'll get a summer thunderstorm which brings flooding and 100% relative humidity so that it feels like 214*.

that why you go to the club like XS where there is a huge swimming pool outside the club, and chicks will be in their bikini at night as well.

Thanks for the ideas guys. Keep them coming!
