another VEGAS thread

[CHENZ A!]

Spending the weekend in Vegas for my boy's bachelor party. I'm positive that we will have no problems finding trouble, but figured I'd come here and listen to suggestions. Best places to eat, watch the games, best bargains, strip clubs, etc. We're all big fans of sports, and titties, so probably be posted up watching/betting on games by day, and partying/looking for strange by night. What ya got CP?

It's not a repost if you post pics. Drunken party pics preferably.

[Gonzo]

I've heard this place is pretty cool... (Pun intended)

http://www.minus5experience.com/

[CHENZ A!]

Yes, thank you for the links.

[Earthbound]

Aria's sportsbook is awesome. I believe the Bellagio sportsbook still offers free drinks. Most others you have to bet big or go out to the casino floor and wait for a cocktail waitress.

Well that sucks. I thought it was kind of a sweet idea. (Especially on a 115 degree day in Vegas)

[ReynardMuldrake]

For restaurants, the Peppermill is awesome hangover food. It's just across from Circus Circus. For breakfast, Hash House a go-go is good. I forget which casino it was in, kinda over by Harrah's I think, 2nd floor. You can't see it from the strip but it's there. Also, Le Burger in Paris is a cool, surprisingly inexpensive burger/sports bar in Paris. Great place to grab lunch.

Also, get passes on The Deuce if you plan on seeing the strip. Much faster than walking. But be sure to see Fremont street too.

I walked by it. It just looks like a subway entrance. It looked stupid so I didn't go in. Of course this was at night and it was about 65 at the time.

[RockChalk]

This, but only if you've never been there. You don't even have to gamble down there...people watching is plenty entertaining

Seconded on the Peppermill. Awesome food and huge portions. It's right next to the Riviera.

Hash House is in Imperial Palace.

[Johnny Vegas]

topless pool called Bare at the Mirage for a $20 entry. Lagasse Stadium in the Palazzo is a bad ass sports bar to watch your games.

Walk around the strip and guys in suits are standing on corners ready to take a party of guys to a strip club. When these guys take you to the clubs in limos you get the cover charge wiped at all doors and all each person is expected to do is buy 2 drinks minimum at the club.

Write this number down. 904-881-9927 his name is Rod. He's a club promoter and gets a lot of people looking to party together and goes club hoppin and its an extremely affordable way to go clubbin and have an awesome time. You'll get cover charges wiped at all club entrances and also get table/bottle service the entire night. He'll treat ya good.

There is a $30 cover charge per person and you get only one drink.

YES. The Imperial Palace. To clarify, there is also another Hash House restaurant in town. So if you google it, look for Hash House A GO-GO.

you sure? I went there and they were handing out 2 for 1 cocktails. I had two of their specialty cocktails then 2 shots of patron. The cover is for the coat, boots, and gloves you have to wear when you go in.

[Carlota69]

Steel Panther at House of Blues inside Mandalay bay FOR SURE!!! Must see show.

Hugos Cellar at the 4 Queens for the best steak in town at the best price. Plus you get that Old School Vegas mob feel.:D

Incubus is in town this weekend if you care.

have fun.

fold a $20 and discreetly stick it in between your driver's license and credit card at check in. The desk clerk should read this as the universal Vegas sign for a free room upgrade. If it works you'll find yourself in a nice suite with a sick view, if there are no rooms available they will surely apologize and refuse to take the tip.

I tried this. The asshole said they had nothing available and kept the $20. This was at the Luxor.

I guess they may change the cover charge all the time. I was there 3 years ago just before the economy crashed.

[CHENZ A!]

Good suggestions here, thanks!

So the Bellagio sports book has FREE drinks? That's crazy, bet that place gets packed on Sundays. We were thinking about placing bets then going to watch at a sports bar. Anyone been to or heard of Blondies?

[Johnny Vegas]

the Bellagio is my spot. The bartenders at Bellagios sportsbook are awesome folks. They the best washington apple shots ever. As far as I know Aria's sportsbook offer free drinks while you watch as I took part in it. I know if you stick a $5 in the video poker machines at the Bellagio sportsbook you'll get a free drink. Not sure about while watching a game.

someone mentioned spearmint rhino. I had the pleasure to go there. Like I mentioned before we ran into a guy in a suit wanted to take us to a strip club and we got a free ride in a limo took the vip entrance and had a blast there.

[XXXshogunXXX]

Im goin this weekend too, gonna go drinking, clubbin, and strip clubs, and all the lines i can get my nose on.

Michaels pub for the game on Sunday, be there

[ModSocks]

Spearmint Rhino.

You're welcome.

Ahem. **Cough** This **Cough**

Not that I'd know about any of that stuff or anything.....

[Bowser]

Go to Dick's Last Resort in Excalibur to start the night. Decent grub, good place to begin the drinking, and they treat you like shit. Fun as hell. Had fun down on Fremont Street. I swear the dealers in Binnions are porn stars. I'm guessing, of course.

What's up on Michael's pub?

[Earthbound]

You will want to be to the sportsbook early if you want a good seat to watch the games. They fill up quick. If you don't care about watching them at the book, just make your bets and head to a bar like you mentioned.

Sorry if I missed it but where are you staying?

I've heard good things about SR and OG.

[Ceej]

I know one thing you SHOULDN'T DO.

Drink so much you pass out before 830, while throwing up on your brand new "Party with Sluts" t-shirt.

At least the sum bitch washed out at least!

LMAO

Staying at the Flamingo.. I don't know shit about it.

Is it going to be swimming weather?

[Johnny Vegas]

yes it will be all pools are open. I was there 2 weeks ago.

I went to LV for the first time ever within the past month. We stayed at Mandalay Bay; which is essentially at the end of the new strip. To go to the old strip it cost me $33 in cabfare. I clearly underbudgeted. The second day there I drank RBV's all day and chugged a rum n coke. I was done. All I ate was hot n spicy cheetos that day so you can imagine the mess. LMAO

I was planning on doing the same when I went in June, but pussed out after I had lunch in the restaurant. I was convinced that I was going to leave an offering for the kind ppl down below. Hope you can do it....scared the bejesus out of me, but I'm still planning on doing it at some point, just have to remember to go on an empty stomach. :)

[CaliforniaChief]

Have any of you guys ever had a nice, really expensive steak in Vegas? Where?

I'm looking at all the sites for top 10, etc...but just wondering if any of you had experiences.

[kysirsoze]

I loved Bill's Gamblin Hall. Not pretentious and $5 craps tables with good waitresses. Of course I went on a pretty small budget. Got hammered and made about $75 in an hour or two. Not a bad way to start of at least.

Yeah, the guys I am going with want to do it towards nightfall so I won't be drinking at all that afternoon and will make sure I eat several hours before we jump.

Someone asked about Michaels Pub...its a local dive. Fun place, but way off the strip. Its where the rest of us live.:D

Well, its raining and cold right now so not sure about that.

From what I understand, drinks are free at any sports book as long as you have a bet going. But the waitress doesn’t come around very often and the drinks are small.

And its always pool weather in Vegas.

Beg to differ on this. Went in late November for the LV Invitational last year. Highs in the upper 50's. Pools were closed and even if they were open, I wouldn't have jumped in.

[Dartgod]

Watch football at the Hilton. They open up the showroom and have a bunch of huge screens showing all the games. No free drinks unless you know someone *wink*, but it's a great place to watch football on Sundays.

Nzoner will confirm.

[Carlota69]

So you mean it's only 75? :D

Actually, I just saw the weather report, and it will be 75-79 degrees. It isnt right now, but it will be this weekend. So OP is in luck;)

[vailpass]

YES. The Imperial Palace. To clarify, there is also another Hash House restaurant in town. So if you google it, look for Hash House A GO-GO.

Imperial Palace should be re-named Imperial Shithole in keeping with truth in advertising. *ugh*

[Nzoner]

Staying at the Flamingo.. I don't know shit about it.


I'm pretty much a regular at the Flamingo,so here's a few tips.Upon check-in go to the Total Rewards Center and get yourself a Harrah's player's card.The Flamingo sportsbook is not much at all but it's fine to place your bets there especially since you're staying there.IMPORTANT...upon placing your bets give them your player's card and ask for your FREE drink tickets,you MUST ask.These are good at any of the bars at Flamingo for domestic beer and the like.

The bar closest to the sportsbook is normally quite a fun spot if you're into video poker because at least per my experience the machines are quite loose.IMPORTANT...if you want more free drinks,simply sit down at the bar insert your card into a VP machine with $5 to $10 and then wait for bartender and/or get their attention before playing(else prepare to pay $5-$7 for a beer).Service is normally quite good.Order your drink and play a hand or two of VP.There are 3 tv's above this bar and football and or play-offs will be on so,if you choose to sit there and watch keep your card in machine and gamble a bit but all your drinks will be comped and fairly quickly.I usually tip $1 per.

Flamingo is not a grand casino but it's fun and down to earth.IMPORTANT...I don't normally like spending a lot of bucks on food when in Vegas so keep in mind on either side of the Flamingo you have the following 2 places.1.O'Sheas
which is also owned by Harrah's so your player's card can be used there.This place usually has GREAT live music and is always packed and the bonus is it has a Subway inside for $5 footlongs :D 2.Bill's Gamblin' Hall which between midnight and 6 a.m. has a $5.99 steak and eggs and the extras.

Lastly your Total Rewards player's card is good at any Harrah's casino and I suggest using it whenever gambling as they have a great comp program and they can be used anywhere including Harrah's KC.

Some of Harrah's properties in Vegas include
Harrah's
O'Shea's
Flamingo
Caesars Palace
The Paris
Bally's
Planet Hollywood
Imperial Palace
The Rio(off the strip but there's a free shuttle at Bally's,the sportsbook there if you get there early and get a seat has comped drinks during any game and I never once had to show that I was gambling.)


ALSO,per Dartgod's post for NFL action on Sunday get your ass to the Hilton and NFL Central at the old Manilow theatre.Best place to watch games bar none and it gets to rockin'.Also note,the Hilton sportsbook,seperate from the theatre is the mother of all Vegas sportsbooks,and I mean the mother,giant tv screens and the absolute largest book in all of Vegas and if you venture over there still has comped drinks during the games.

Sorry,this was so long but seeing that I know you and appreciate your past gifts :D I wanted to make sure you at least have a damn good idea on getting around.

Have a great time!!

P.S. For beautiful women and a very seductive show with fockin' great music,take your buddy to see X-Burlesque at The Flamingo.It's up close and somewhat personal(not a strip club) but the wimmen are WOW and the show is top notch.The only negative is that they rape you on the drinks,so get nice and buzzed before you go,the show is at 10p.m. nightly.

For a really good cheap steak (yeah, I know, those two words aren't normally used together), go to the diner at Ellis Island Casino at Flamingo and Koval. It's not to far from the Flamingo, so you could walk to it if you want.

For $6.99 you get a really good strip steak, potato, veggie, salad, roll and a beer. They have a brew pub on site, so you can try one of their brews which are pretty good. It's not on the menu, so just ask for the steak special.

I had heard about this for years and finally tried it last time out. I will go back again.

[CHENZ A!]

Thanks a lot for the tips Joe!

BC and Desert Inn were two of the old school good ones...*sigh*....getting old.

I don't believe any of this is accurate, sorry. There are only a few sportsbook that offer free drinks to everyone regardless of amount wagered. Most are going to want to see $50+ bets and then give you a drink ticket that you can exchange for a drink. If you tip the person taking the bet, they might feel generous and give you some tickets but not guaranteed.

It is not always pool weather in Vegas as the majority of them shut down over the winter months.

Well...you're wrong.

Yes, the drinks are free. And you can order most drinks. Same thing goes for the Casino. If you're playing a slot...even if it's a penny slot, the waitress will bring you free drinks. Now, if you don't leave a decent tip, she probably won't come around too often...so they're not ENTIRELY free. But a few bucks for a tip is better than $10 + and a tip.

I stayed at Paris a few months ago and my wife and I went into a steak house they had their. Can't recall the name though. Dropped $200.00 but it was the best damn steak I ever had.

[Earthbound]

I'm trying to help with this guy's plans and you are simply giving bad information if you think you can go to any sportsbook on the strip and get free drinks by betting $5 on the games. They stopped doing that quite a while ago. Most now require a certain level of action before they give you a drink ticket or tip the person taking your bet.

Drinks are, however, free for anyone on the casino floor playing games. Sit at a penny slot with a dollar in the machine and get served drinks all night long (just tip the waitress).

[Ceej]

Another DON'T do in Vegas. Do not eat the 25 cent wings at the Hooters casino. It was the first thing I noticed on my shuttle ride to the casino. As a wings connoisseur these (even at a quarter a piece) are probably the worst wings ever.

Well, for what it's worth these were wings served by a restauraunt in the casino. The _____ Onion. Not sure if they were Hooters' wings or not. But, even for a quarter a piece you'd expect SOMETHING. But, hell fucking no.

[Johnny Vegas]

I go to Vegas a lot given the cheap flights. So I have a very, very good idea of the seasons there. All I have to do is check the weather too. I was sitting pool side in the Mirage as was a lot of people the end of September and its not based on what I read on the web. I pointed out they say on the websites pools are open year round if you want to check it out.

I think it is called Mon Ami Gabbi or something. Been there as well and yes, it's very good. I also like Stack in The Mirage. The waitresses are, as you'd imagine, stacked. But the food is top notch too.

[Johnny Vegas]

did I hurt peoples feelers telling what the weather is gonna be? lol you old geezers have nothing else to do today do ya? Don't worry. I'll be in Vegas in 2 weeks to tell ya'll what the weather is. I'll take video from my comped Aria suit on the 54th floor with a closer shot of the sky. I'll shoot video on the Vdara pool with people swimming in it from my floor. Then you might just back off a little when you realize I know what I'm talking about.

Butthurt? Project much?

I live here and I'm very active in the community of Las Vegas and the goings ons...not all the pools are open year round, meaning "Bare", "Encore Beach Club". And I was joking with you. You do realize you were telling a native of Vegas what the weather is and is going to be even though you don't live here, right?

Oh and BTW, you sound like a complete egotistical douche with your "I'll take videos from my comped Aria room...blah blah..blah.." Theres people in the US and on this board who would love to get a free room almost anywhere in this city but cant because they're unemployed or broke in general. Also, City Center is a complete fucking joke in Vegas, but since you know everything about Vegas, then you probably already know that righr?

Also, City Center is a complete ****ing joke in Vegas, but since you know everything about Vegas, then you probably already know that righr?


:rolleyes:
Don't hold back, Carlota! :D

The whole Strip is pretty much a ****ing joke anymore, IMO. We stayed off strip in September and never set foot on the strip other than to cash a Super Bowl ticket for a friend at Ceasar's. We spent our gambling time off strip and downtown and enjoyed better gambling odds and very few douchebags.

[ReynardMuldrake]

did I hurt peoples feelers telling what the weather is gonna be? lol you old geezers have nothing else to do today do ya? Don't worry. I'll be in Vegas in 2 weeks to tell ya'll what the weather is. I'll take video from my comped Aria suit on the 54th floor with a closer shot of the sky. I'll shoot video on the Vdara pool with people swimming in it from my floor. Then you might just back off a little when you realize I know what I'm talking about.

If you're curious what the weather in Vegas is like, you know you can just ask Carlota. No need to wait two weeks.

Last time me and the wife went we had a better time and spent less on the old strip. Cheaper drinks, much better food deals, same fucking slot machines/table games...

EXACTLY!!!!

if you want to stay downtown, the golden nugget did a total remodel a year or 2 ago. extremely nice and very economical.
won more playing blackjack downtown, than i'd ever done (and i'd like to think that i'm pretty good).
drank for free (always tip the ladies). ate for cheap. i've said it before, best steak i've EVAH had was at the steakhouse at the top of Binions. very old school. felt like i was in an old mobster movie. guido the host with the giant pinkie ring, classic vegas!!!

Exactly!!! Downtown is where its at unless you are some douchy "Affliction" wearing fool who thinks hes Johnny Vegas and wants to blow $30 on one drink just to impress the hooker on his arm. Dont get me wrong, they are good for our economy and we welcome them, but thats not what locals do. We also hit downtown for great steaks (Hugos Cellar), and cheap well made drinks. Golden Nugget is a great spot, especially for the money. The Plaza was just remodeled as well. In fact, they got all their stuff from the Fountain Blue project which took a shit due to the economy. So they got uber nice stuff for little money.

:) Check out Hugos Cellar at Four Queens next time. Best steak Ive had in town and for the $$ hands down the best, plus you still get that old school vegas mob feel. :D

Going to Vegas for the NFR Rodeo on December 2-6. Appreciate the tips. Hugos Cellar sounds like a must. Have not decided where to stay yet so will check out your suggestions. Have not been there in 20 years...

Golden Nugget?

[Bowser]

I had a relative stay at the Nugget right after the remodel. They loved it, and highly recommended it.

Defintely look into the Nugget, or see what the Plaza has going on. They just remodeled and it looks damn good.

[chief52]

Thanks Carlota. Nugget does look good and reasonable. Checked the reviews for the Plaza on tripadvisor and they pretty much say the place is looking good but the renovations are not finished. One recent review said give it another 6 months to complete. Rates were real good at the Plaza...probably due to construction.

Im sure due to construction. Golden Nugget has a pretty nice pool too. Just make sure you ask for a room away from Fremont street. It can get loud.:)

If by under our skin, you mean pointing at you and laughing, then yes.

[Johnny Vegas]

doesn't bother me you can point with your efinger all you want. You have no idea how I acquired the points to earn a comped suite let alone rooms. You can just assume I'm a high roller which is awesome, but not the case.

If you truly want to know I had won a large amount one time and used that to start a Vegas fund for every time I go. I have built my points to earn free rooms. I am a coupon dealin wheelin kind of guy and use my resources to stretch my money as far as I can go. If I win with money on current trips I use that for spending instead of dipping in what I brought. I don't spend more than I got, but I started a players club membership at all resorts so over time I can build points to get free rooms that eventually land you comped suites.

Wow,you truly are a badmajama

[Johnny Vegas]

yea I'm the fool for earning points while I gamble.

[Monty]

BMJ bashing aside, upstairs from Hugo's is Magnolia's. For those that like steak and eggs for breakfast, you should try it as well. No special price, just a really good meal done the way I like it.

Also interesting to hear the comments about the strip vs downtown. I so prefer the downtown atmosphere but to each their own. I play a lot of blackjack and me and the wife end up at the Gate(where the girls dance on the center table). Fun environment.

[Monty]

yea I'm the fool for earning points while I gamble.

Right turn Clyde.

[Johnny Vegas]

LMAO come on you can do better than that

80, 85, 87, 89, 92, 89 there's your forecast for pool time this week. you're welcome.

[Nzoner]

yea I'm the fool for earning points while I gamble.

No,you're a fool because you come across like you're something special and the only one who does such a thing.I mean seriously if you want to get into a pissing match over earning gambling points you're in the wrong ring as I'm a Harrah's Total Rewards Platinum Member and could brag about a whole lot of comps.

I'm also a personal friend of Carlota and give up dude,you're no match for her wit.

Oh but Nzoner, hes so cute with his chest pounding "Im right Im right" about something super trivial like The Vegas weather and his "look at me ma, I gamble so much I get a free room and get to look at the pool thats open year round". Hes so proud of himself that he'll video tape it for the rest of us not so "fortunate". He thinks he's Johnny Vegas. Its cute, and highly entertaining.:D

By the way, you get preferred valet parking with that Platinum member card, which for us locals is fucking GOLD!:)

[Johnny Vegas]

nah my point was I stay at enough resorts to know the pools are open year round and if ya don't believe me check the resorts sites. Just because its raining one day doesn't mean pools are now closed the rest of the season. I won't give up because I think its hilarious I got 4 people trying to protect her. So just because she's a native I can't speculate that its still pool weather? Being I was just there and the weather was hot enough that the pools are in fact thriving. She even back tracked saying the adult pools would be closed but others would be open. Fuckin funny.

I'm a platinum m-life member good for you. you must know some things around Vegas as well. In Carlota's eyes don't even try and know something.

Problem with that card in Vegas is I never drive but I will say it's a nice perk when I go to the KC and Council Bluffs properties.

[Nzoner]

Listen Johhny Vegas,Carlota is very special for some of us Planeteeers who visit Vegas,not only is she a Chiefs fan and a good friend she has connections and unfortunately for you you'll never get to experience any of those connections because of your dumbassery.

As for knowing some things I like to think so and I DO KNOW that some of the properties I stay at the pools close for the season.

[Carlota69]

I backtracked? LMAO. Not quite. I never said all pools were closed during the certains seasons and then "bactracked" and said only adult pools. Marriott and Holiday Inn pools are open all year too, just not sure you want to hang out there all year. Pools like "Bare" and "Encore Beach Club" do close for the winter season. When this originally came up, it was raining and cold in Vegas. You were arguing with me what the Vegas weather is even though the rain was coming down on me while you were doing whatever you were doing in another state. And believe me, no one is protecting me. I dont need it.

BTW, is there a Massengil Conference going on the weekend youre coming in? Is that why you are coming? Must be why...:hmmm:

[Carlota69]

Johnny Vegas :D

Being able to valet on the weekends for locals is a MAJOR perk. Sucks when you have to go to the strip and you cant park. Those Harrahs Platinum Cards are he shit.

I mentioned Bare as one of the pools the OP should know about. I wasn't arguing with you that it would be open I was arguing over the public resort pools. I'm going for pleasure. I get cheap Allegiant flights that are direct. I've seen Zumanity and O already. Not sure what to see. Probably KA with my 2 for 1 cirque du soleil tickets.

I got plenty of connects there. I won't need her help. Never knew who she was before and I made it just fine.

Didnt get the joke I see. Thats ok...

For civil conversation, KA is awesome. If you get a chance to see Absinthe, go for it. Its really good. Its in a circus tent outside of Caesars. really funny but not politically correct. Mystere is still my favorite tho.;-)

Never been at that time but have friends that have and they say it's a madhouse anywhere and everywhere.I can tell you for MEGA size screens and free drinks you can't go wrong with the Hilton which is a bit off the Strip but the monorail goes right to it.

Cool.

My uncle will be there during the same weekend for a conference and he's been there for the same conference during SB weekend before. He may be able to get us into a badass party but we wouldn't know until last minute.

[Garcia Bronco]

What are the bets on tebow?

[DaKCMan AP]

What are the bets on Praise God!?

He won't be playing that weekend.

Why not Rio? I loved it there.

[MIAdragon]

Why not Rio? I loved it there.

The Rio is off the strip and the damn parade that happens every 30 mins becomes annoying.

[Nzoner]

Why not Rio? I loved it there.

For a sporting event like the Super Bowl,it's the Hilton all the way,no contest.

I was at the Diablo for the Saints/Colts Superbowl. Had reserved the main patio thats outside facing the strip with a huge flat screen tv and couches set up. Was $400 to rent the patio out, but was the perfect spot for my first Superbowl in Vegas. Had a cocktail waitress that always kept a drink in our hand. Food, drinks, and a large crowd all condoned to an awesome Superbowl party there.
