Going to Vegas

[Iowanian]

I just booked a trip last night for August.


Have you been before?
Get a players card, use it when you gamble, and try talking to a host to see what you can get in comps(meals, hotel etc)

There are tons and tons of things to do. I prefer the smaller places over the mega casinos, just for the atmosphere. Hit Fremont st at night, I like a little casino S of harrahs called BILLS and O'Sheas. There is a piano bar in Harrahs that is kind of fun, you can do the stratosphere rides if you want to do something different.

Go to the pawn store from TV and see if you can sell them a box of antique ball hair.

I've been once since I turned 21. Went with my Mom and Grandpa. Going again this time with my Mom. I'm going again in a few months with friends.

My mom wants to go to that Pawn shop but I'm not interested.

Thanks for the tips.

Also I just read something saying the Wynn has the best Sportsbook and thats where I'm staying. Perfect.

Theres tons to do here, but it depends on what your 'agenda" is...Since you are with your mom, youre not interested in tittie bars?

Downtown is awesome and cheaper than the Strip. A Killer Vegas steakhouse is inside Four Queens. Its called HUGOS. $60-70 a person, you get a killer steak, salad, veggie, potato and a little dessert. Plus it has the whole old school vegas mob feel. My favorite in town for sure. Also a round of drinks in downtown is like $20 as opposed to $100 on the Strip.

There is a great Piano bar downtown as well call "Dont tell Mamas" Singing bartenders and theyre very good. Free to get in and its a kick.

As far as shows, Jersey Boys at Palazzo is great--Mystere is my fave cirque show and if you can, see Steel Panther--A heavy metal tribute band thats is hilarious, but maybe not safe for Mom--not sure, dont know your mom. Mine would laugh her ass off, so...

I'll look at our calender when I get into my studio and if I see some other stuff going on this weekend that you should know about, I'll let you know...

Woah, let's not get too crazy with the assumptions.

The Sportsbook at the Wynn is more than adequate. Really the only one I like better is at Mandalay Bay, which is at the other end of the strip.

You'll love the Wynn - it's the only place I'll stay in Vegas. Excellent service, great poker room, the rooms are outstanding and they pool area is incredible as well.

Pricey at times, but worth it, IMO.

Not sure what the weather is like there this time of year, but if the pool is open, go all the way to the back by the bar/gaming tables. That's the adult pool, and the views are very nice.
