Headed to Vegas, What are the MUST SEE things?
 

End of June me and a couple buddies are headed to vegas for a few days. Just want to know what are the things we have to do while down there, for the most part we arent going to have any plans at all.

Thinking about staying at the Monte Carlo, although been told Palms and Hardrock are where all the chicks are.
I have been told we have to go to Tao at least once, and hit up Spearment Rhino and Lil Darlings too.

We wanted to see Cique Du Soleil "O" but at 240 a seat my buddies cant afford it.

So anything we should know to do befor we go?

No offense to anyone that may be associated, but Lil Darlings in Vegas is nothing like the others around the country, and they don't serve alcohol!
The Rhino is a good bet. There are hot chicks where ever there is a club,
Caesars- Pure
Mirage- Jet
Treasure Island- Tangerine
Hard Rock - Rehab (Sunday afternoon pool party, its off the fuckin hook)
Palms - "everywhere"
MGM- Studio 54
Wynn - Tryst
Barbary Coast - Dre's (after Hours)
Empire Ballroom - After Hours

Too many to keep going.
If $240 is a big nut for your buddies, you'd better go clubbing without them.
All the clubs that are any good, are expensive as hell.
Even the Pool Lounges have a cover.
("O" is a killer show though)

End of June is "Hot Ass Summmertime" so things may be a little cheaper, but not the clubs.

Don't mean to plug my blog, but I usually have a weekend update on what's happening, what DJ's are in town, and some club promo's.

The only thing you should know is, if you are on a budget and want to party, don't gamble, save your money for the clubs, and some good meals.
You will enjoy your trip a lot better if you aren't broke on Saturday Night.

There is a ton of shit to do, and you definitely want to do a good pool lounge, or the one at the Monte' isn't bad.
All the tail is at the pools during the day.

strip clubs..

pussycat dolls lounge..:|

Check out the Forty-Duece at Mandalay Bay- The Hotel, late at night, and also check out http://www.vegas.com/nightlife/index.html before you go.

oh yeah, tell your buddies to be ready to blow 400-500 each in a night easy if you want to do anything worth while...

Go Downtown at least one night

what are the good pool lounge other then the sunday hard rock cafe

ditch friday at the palms

Absolutely nothing... burn it to the ground!!

Someone tried that a few hours ago....

I found that out the hard way, I had to help my buddy over there right at that intersection. TONS of lookie lou's there right now.

Sebs

Bare- Mirage
Venus- Cesar's Palace
The Beach - Mandalay Bay

There are a few more, some are "Tops Optional".

These you can get in by paying a cover, and are separate from the "free" pool for hotel gusts. Most others require you to be a guest, unless there is a designated event open to the public.

Cover into a Pool Lounge is still around $20-$30 for guys, depending on if it's topless.

Go early...there ain't no night life downtown after midnight, but drinks, and table minimums are cheaper, and there is usually some live music.
I have seen many bands down there for free...didn't even know they were playing.:thumbsup

I can imagine. I was coming back from Trader Joes when I saw the smoke starting to come over the trees. From where I was, I thought it was coming from near the airport...which would not have been good.

Yep!:thumbsup

Watching the sun set from TheMix in THE Hotel is actually pretty cool, Or from the Rio

Which once are Topless ?

I only mentioned it because of the embarassing little "birthday" dance that they would giv his shy friend on stage. Nothing more. :1orglaugh

I think:
Bare- Mirage is tops optional (cover is $30)
Mandalay bay has a tops optional pool, but I don't know what its called.
Caesars Palace has always had one,
The Palms has a new pool that I am pretty sure is optional,
but for many of them you have to be a guest, to cut down of the
"8 guys in one room at the motel 6 walking around for a free gawk, and making the hotel guests uncomfortable" traffic.

They will do that anywhere for a couple of $20's:thumbsup

Lol, yup :)
If anywhere does that, then whereever had the hottest chicks.
We arent big drinkers so not drinking for the while that we are there wouldnt be a problem.

DAMN!
I was thinking 50-70 a day for supper and lunch. Plus 100 a day for covers, and then 100 on drinks. Each.
Is most of that money on drinks for yourself and ladies or what?

I've never been to vegas, but damn it sounds expensive if you want to go out to the clubs and stuff. Whats their prices on mixed drinks or beers usually?

there are more women at the monte carlo then the palms and hardrock combined..hardrock is for sure the sausage capital of vegas..with palms a close second..

there are hot chicks everywhere in vegas..going to the most popular clubs will get you 0 chance of getting any action if you have no money same with the over populated pool clubs, you should only do those if you have your own party with you..hit the center bars at the popular hotels..better chance of picking up girls there or at least getting a good deal on a hooker by wearing her down all night.

of course if you are awestruck by long lines and crowded areas, go waste your time at those clubs..more fun to be had just walking the strip and hanging out and getting hammered in vegas.. people watching is probably the best in the world here.

Cirque show - I've seen KA, and O there and both are incredible - looking at the Cirque site I see seats as low as $102.
The Bellagio fountains
I took my son to the Stratosphere 3 years ago and we rode all the rides and had a BLAST :) Cheesy but fun!

I'm not looking to hook up with any chicks as I have a girl here at home. But I sure as hell love eye candy :)

My one buddy wants to try and hook up with a chick while down there, but he is way to shy and scared of talking to women. Even when loaded. Thats why having the strippers pull him on stage at lil darlings would be all to funny for everyone but him. At least he is a good sport and doesnt get pissed at being embarrased.

Center Bars... I am assuming these are the bars that are just on the gaming floor right?
I wouldnt mind meeting a few chicks to hang out with while down there, just to make sure its not always 3 guys together, lol. I'd rent a couple.. but might get pricy, lol.


I should probably bring button up or at least golf type shirts with a colar for the bars and clubs. Hope nice jeans are ok though.
Or will I be ok style wise with jeans and a t shirt in vegas?

For some reason all the hotels are on sale this weekend in Vegas

Mothersday weekend. Everyone is going "home" so they put theur shit on sale in order to attract those who don't go visit mommy.

Sebs

ya they had the streets all closed off you couldnt see shit grrrrr

i was at the hard rock last weekend and you have to have a room key to get to the fucking pool now...whats up with that shit

if you guys want a sweet tour of some of the local stuff.....hit me up...me and my buddie do tours on the side..:)

cheaper..and more fun then those lame fuckers in the pink jeeps lol

well, lets break down a saturday for instance

breakfast, who eats breakfast? - $0.00
lunch (buffet) - $25-$30
dinner - $25-$35 if you're eating at the cafes in the casinos
clubs - $30-$35 cover charge + 1 - 2 hour wait in line min
-- $75-$100 per head if you want to grease security to get passed the line, might come w/ cover, might not

regular drinks are like 8-9 bucks each, bottled water is 5 bucks

then if you're buying drinks for females, shots, etc... keep adding

its better to come over-prepared than not if you're visiting is all i'm saying :)

if you eat at the hard rock they have a great steak and shrimp special...7.99 :)

and a kick ass brownie sundae..:)


where you located at tical?
im in henderson off stephine

Yes, the Vegas Strip is expensive.
Don't think you can have a "ballers" weekend on a budget.
You can get a booth reservation at many of the clubs, if you pay in advance, and show up on time, usually like 10 or so to keep your res.

hard rock and palms are where i go to gamble and i am a girl so i am sure other girls are there as well. this is where my girlfriends and i always hang out.

the rooms at the skylofts at the mgm are EPIC.


do a buffet at the mirage.

get a dance at olympic gardens.

right off of DI & Buffalo :P

once in a while some folks i know get those for a week or two... they even give them personalized business cards that say they're sky loft residents

what a trip

Go to the old section of Vegas and walk just a few blocks away from the Piedmont Experience (that giant covered area where they have the light shows). It becomes no man's land very quickly. We were trying to get TA some bud last time we were there and wound up almost getting mugged, a few times!

:Oh crap

the rooms are really nice. two stories. plasma tvs everywhere. full size pool tables. full bars (not a tiny fridge with shooters). walk in closets and butlers! last time we were there there was a really hot french concierge chick too. the butlers brought us breakfast in bed.. mixed our drinks for us. amazing. the skyloft floor(s) have their own kitchens so the room service is really fast.

Wayne Newton of course

Taobeach at the venetian just opened too I head. anyone been there yet ?

Hey man cool blog, are you located out here in Las vegas as well?

Any of you guys located in Vegas are welcome to come out to the Lake on Memorial weekend, I have my boat out there, will be doing some shooting and some partying. good times just hit me up if you are out that way or want to come out there .

Excellent advice!:thumbsup I mean whether on a budget or out to be a baller this is still 100% TRUE

A person will have so much more fun in Vegas if they do not get blinnded by the glitz and try to keep up with the joneses. The people here are trained profesionals on how to handle the "Ballers" and know exactly how to get the most out of them and then move them on their way for the next one in town, Just like a good waiter at the best restaraunt in anytown, USA the key for those pro pary people is tunrover , turnover, turnover. and there will ALWAYS be a bigger fish right behind you.

Much better to spend that money on bringing in your own party and then just enjoying the venues you create.:)

skylofts are my favorite rooms in vegas but they aint cheap. it was like 800 a night for the 1 bedroom and 1400 for the 2 bedroom. mgm has really stepped up as a nice hotel with all its new restaurants as well.

trust me you will not have fun at those clubs without money.

and yes hot chicks go to palms and hardrock, they are just outnumbered by douchebag guys 12 to 1. the palms is one of my fav places to go, but i wouldnt recommend it to this guy, other than a visit to the center bar at about 2 am..

i love the monte carlo, i used to stay there all the time. best thing about that pool is that it is regular people, reg girls. The other pools are the same as going to a nightclub just during the day.

also..there are only 2 strip clubs to go to in vegas.

spearmint rhino and scores.

rhino is far and away number 1..heck its doable during the day. none of the others hold a candle to the rhino as far as quality and number of dancers.

but remember..even the rhino is 20 to 30 a head to get into..

I added you to ICQ, but trillain is a peice of shit and doesnt mark the newest person I added, and I dont know your sn name so I cant find you on my list :(

We would tottally be up for a gfy special :P lol

Pricy rooms too, damn. We wont be doing much other then sleeping in the room though as its only 5 days there.

Last time I was in vegas we hit the buffet at the mirage, if I remember thats the one that has everything from prime rib to chinese food. And good food too.

We will hit up the Olympic Gardens too, lol so we have like 6 strip clubs to hit up now :O lol

Sounds like it would be a great place to stay with the woman for a few nights :)


I'll be bringing a budget of ~2000, ~1000 for gambling and then that leave 200 a night. Although if I do good at the tables that could turn into alot more, or if I dont gamble as much I would have more.

Haha, that Dutch translation of your blog title is totally wack.

"124 Slaat per Minuut", this litterally means:
"124 is hitting per minute", as in throwing a punch for instance.

For relatively inexpensive and good food, go to Grand Lux Cafe at the Venetian.

Lenny2's favorite is the Grand Lux Burger Melt.

Damn threads like this make me feel old :(

No longer interested in clubs or strips joints, give me a nice meal with a great bottle of wine.
