Life Las Vegas Trip Suggestions???

**kysirsoze** · 05-01-2018, 08:24 PM

I know there have been other threads on here for the same thing, but search is failing me. My wife and I are going to be there Sunday-Wednesday in mid July. We are staying at the Golden Nugget on Sunday (For kitschy Fremont Street fun and because it's cheap as hell) and we're staying at The Linq on Monday and Tuesday nights. Only activity set in stone is we are seeing "O" on Tuesday night.

We're interested in a good pool at some point, possibly a spa day, a really good live music venue. We're pretty much down for whatever. Budget wise, probably in the neighborhood of 300-400 for entertainment (in addition to "O"). Pretty flexible on food budget, but probably will keep it simple other than one or two nicer meals. I know some of you guys go to Vegas quite a bit. Any ideas? One thing to note, that Tuesday is my wife's birthday and Wednesday is our anniversary (although we'll be driving back to LA for part of it)

TIA. Rep for serious or particularly funny responses.

Sorry buddy. I frequent Vegas but spend most of my time there gambling so I don't know shit about pools.

They have a very nice Olive Garden on Nellis Blvd on the East side of town. It's only about 35 minutes from the strip in traffic.

Well I don't know what your game and stakes are, but if you know of some really low stakes craps and blackjack tables, I wanna hear about it.

All around the Nugget you'll find $5 and $10 BJ and Craps

If you're staying at the Linq they have this little Irish themed bar&casino that had $5 craps all night. We got wasted in there and had a pretty good time. Nothing fancy

And he does mean blowjobs.

Mandalay Bay has the most off the hook daytime pool parties.

The Mirage pool party has a European sunbathing theme so lots of topless girls. Check that out.

Nice. Knew about the Nugget but glad to hear the Linq has $5 tables. I thought there weren't any on the strip any more.

Don't.

Also, on the walkway between The Cosmopolitan and Bubba Shrimp there is a group of younger folks hanging out. They should have a guitar with them. They are on the Cosmopolitan side and they are selling drugs.

24 year old kysirsoze needs to see this.

**TribalElder** · 05-01-2018, 08:57 PM

The linq is pretty good location. Not sure about pool options there, might have to hit one of the others for that. It sits close to in n out burger, the high roller, the bowling alley etc. there is also a live music venue that can be enjoyed from the upper deck.

MGM is pretty good as well, a bit pricier especially if a major event is going on. Cirq show there is good. It’s also pretty close to top golf if that sounds like a good time.

Could always go downtown and zip line.

Mandalay Bay has a pretty cool pool area, shark tank, various other things, and house of blues as I recall.

O is awesome
Go to joes crab house in the forum shops and eat some stone crab
