Sin City, Sweet Buddeh, never been so don't know, Have a blast :thumb: According to Manswers, the Worlds Biggest Strip bar is there, I'd want to take that in :lol:

Ugh, change yer plans while you still can. That city is a hole, with nothing to offer visitors but fake sights and overpriced food and booze. You'll leave with a massive sunburn, a week-long hangover and a drained bank account.

Have a blast!

Got married there 20 years ago and have been back 7 times.

Go to Freemont St ,,, AT NIGHT.
Go to The Gun Store, ,, you can shoot any gun you want.
Rent a car and drive out to RED ROCK CANYON. you can rent a car with a gps in it too. We usually get a midnight return flight on our trip and rent a car on the last day at 10 am and drive to the far out places.
Go see BITE at the Stratosphere. Its a vampire rock and roll show ITS AWSOME.
The best topless who is LA.Femme at MGM its the best.
If you like you can drive a ferarrie or lambrogini at las vegas motor speedway. but its short and expensive.
We went to FUN BUGGIES. its a 90 minute baja buggy chase in the desert, it was the best fun. All of the attraction things are easy to get tickets for at the half price tickets info booth. You should NEVER pay full price for anything, only suckers or people who are not organized pay full price. check out las vegas dot com for concerts that are happening too. Hard Rock, MandalayBay usually have great rock shows.
Last but not least, if you gamble you drink for free. Play roulette or craps or sit at the bar and put a few bucks in a machine and drinks are FREE. If you said where you were staying I could tell you the best deals on food.
The best buffet on the strip is in the Flamingo.
Have fun.

I've lived in Vegas for two months the last 4 WSOPs, posting to subscribe in case I can be helpful with future Qs

Baseball fans should check out the Jays farm team, the 51s. If you are lucky enough to be in Vegas during Cashman field's dollar beer night, youowe it to yourself:



Beatles fans (and casual drug users) will really enjoy 'LOVE' the Cirque show at the Mirage. 'O' at the Bellagio is another very impressive cirque show.

There is a new Elvis cirque show as well, but I havent been there.

For golfers, Bali hai is a mile south of the strip, right beside McCarran airport. Its ranked in a Golf Digest top 50 list, and several holes feature the strip as a backdrop. I've played with guys who love that, and guys who love to hate it, but you cant argue with the convenience.

Away from the strip, deals can be found on nice courses designed by big name architects. Im sure the $ a foursome saves on greenfees would cover the cost of a rental car
