Going to Vegas next week

[brianhos]

Go see Absinthe, by far the best show in town, nothing else even comes close.

I've been to Vegas 5 or 6 times in the last 10 years. And our last trip, we finally went to Fremont St. Really cool, would highly recommend. You can bus there, but a taxi saves you about 2 hours. Costs a little bit of $$$ though (like most things in Vegas) :yes:

Headed there for annual March Madness trip on 3/19. Haven't booked room yet as they are still about 3x what they have been in prior years. First two days are incredible and by Saturday I think people are somewhat burned out/hung over and it quiets down a bit. Can't wait!

It's vegas. Who needs a hotel room. Just pull a four day bender and hit the casinos all night till the games start again. Just find a nice chair in the sportsbook to pass out in if needed.wink:

Visit the Pawn Star guys. Went last year and had to look around for a camera crew. They were goofing around quite a bit like they do on the show. Spent a few hours there. Rick seems like a genuinely nice guy.

I was there a couple if weeks ago. Friends dragged me into the Cirque du Soleil - Love show. I'm down with Beatles music and the timing and athleticism was off the charts.

If you want to go gritty Vegas I always hit up Atomic Liquors by downtown. Anthony Bourdain did a show from there once.

That Pawn Stars place isn't worth a trip. The Stratosphere is a dump. The Riveria is too, but they practically give away Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Fremont Street has more grit, but I'm from Burlington so I enjoy some danger with my vacation

Hard Rock had the drum kit from my first concert on display. Pretty sure no one has been more excited to see the drums from the Styx - Kilroy Was Here tour

Would never go back to Fremont Street, did not enjoy at all.

Since you are taking your wife, go to Paris Las Vegas and eat here:

Las Vegas Buffet: Le Village at the Elegant Paris Hotel & Casino

Not too expensive and great food!

That is one of the best buffet's in Vegas. I think they're going for around $30-$35/person. Don't have any meals the same day prior to going to the buffett. Come hungry, you probably won't eat again for the rest of the day. 1 and done.

Ellis Island on Koval Street. Vegas' best kept secret.

Austin's steakhouse inTexas station. In n Out burger. Rent a car, super cheap and ever casino has free parking and you won't get hustled by the taxi driver that way from the airport.

That place scared me.

If Hooka is your thing there is also a pretty chill Hooka lounge out there.

.

The High Roller (observation wheel) opens this weekend I believe so that would be something new and cool, its the largest wheel in the world. G

Was out there last week and it looks awesome, should be amazing especially at night.

Spend one evening downtown (freemont) and another evening seeing Absinthe.

Great place to eat BURGR at Planet Hollywood. Yep, its expensive. BUT crazy good. Get the Hog Burger, and a side of truffle parmesean fries. if you go for lunch the portions are big enough you can split and both be full.

Gordon Ramsay BurGR - Planet Hollywood Resort Las Vegas - Restaurants

best breakfast i've had in Vegas (been 15+ times) was at Mon Ami Gabi inside Paris. You can eat on the strip, and the food was amazing.

Casual French Restaurant: Mon Ami Gabi | Paris Hotel & Casino

Walking the strip is fun, yeah, but gets old. It's always further than it looks. Utilize the trams or take awesome walking shoes. Tell the Mrs' she will regret heels on the strip.

lastly, i couldnt tell you the last time i won any money gambling on the strip. terrible terrible terrible.

Some of the best burgers I've ever had have been in Vegas.

In-N-Out
I Love Burgers (good drinks as well)

Can't wait to try out BURGR

 

[theantiAIRBHG]

That place scared me.

Vinny Capri is a legend. And the have $2 big beers! Towny bars in Vegas equals win.

 

[theantiAIRBHG]

This thread just makes me want to go back to Vegas. Welp, off to book flights.
