Vegas Weekend

[O.city]

Somehow my wife Ok'd me to "chaperone" her brother and a few of his friends in Vegas for his 21 bday.

Headed out there this weekend. Staying at the Bellagio, got a good deal on a room then got it upgraded to a suite somehow for like 20 extra bucks per night.

Any recommendations on what or where to hit up?

I've been a handful of times so I know a few places, just looking for any other ideas. Where is the best sports book for the Sunday games?

[Jewish Rabbi]

Caesars Sportsbook is second to none, IMO.

Not a super exciting recommendation, but there’s an In-and-Out burger on the strip on the Linq Promenade now. Pretty good burger and a cheap lunch for Vegas standards.

[O.city]

I've read Caesars is the best book. I walked thru it a few years ago but never stopped. Hopefully it goes well this weekend.

Calling Nzoner...

[neech]

The bus tour is a decent thing to do its not all that expensive.

[Hoover]

I go once a year during the football season with my brothers. We are going in two weeks because, you know, the Chiefs play the Packers on Sunday Night Football.

Vegas is a great town with a ton to offer. Its kind of important what you are in to.

I love small concert venues. Last year we hit Jimmy Buffett (big concert) then the next night saw Willie Nelson and his family. Both were great. We are all in to sports gambling, so we hand out at the Sportbooks. My favorite is at the Cosmopolitan. Cool place. Well done, and free shit to do, shuffleboard, and whatever. If I'm going to gamble (table games), I hit the Cromwell.

People watching is always fun. I enjoy buying beers off of some dude with a cooler in front of the Bellagio fountains for some reason. We hit Freemont street for a night in old Vegas, I kind of like the Gold Nugget casino. Vic & Anthony's is a good steak house.

This year we watching the last games Sunday Night Football at Lagasse’s Stadium at The Palazzo. You need to call for a reservation. So each individual have a minimum to cover, ours is $125, but I can probably drink that or I'll order a nice steak. The stadium is full of TVs, you have a leather couch and all that shit. Last year I watched the game at some BS bar in the Planet Hollywood - not going to do that again.

I'm a foodie (ie FAT). So Vegas is great for that.

Grab a breakfast sandwich at Eggslut in the Cosmopolitan.

I'm a Thomas Keller fan, so I always hit Bouchon at The Venetian (10th Floor)

If I want to hit a buffet, I hit the Wynn on Friday or Saturday night when there is seafood.

Or there is a Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab - northern part of the Strip.

There are some good karting experiences we have done. We have also done a half day kayak trip from the Hoover Dam - really cool to see it from that perspective. The water is cold. This year we are doing Speed Vegas where you take an exotic car our on a road course.

Let me know what you are into, and I can maybe make some other recommendations. We were just three 40 year old dudes so we don't do anything crazy. Great time of year to go out.

[O.city]

Thanks Hoover

I already have reservations at Joes, lol, it’s my go to place for a steak

They’ll wanna just gamble so they can hang wherever for that. I have heard good things about the Bouchon elk have to try that

[Why Not?]

I've read Caesars is the best book. I walked thru it a few years ago but never stopped. Hopefully it goes well this weekend.

Then hit it up for NCAA. For NFL Sunday, Westgate Football Central is a must do.

Where is west gate?

[58-4ever]

I like watching football at the MGM. Great spot. Also, hit up Ellis Island for late night drunk food. Their steak and eggs are $6.99, and they are actually pretty good.

Otherwise, I like playing poker at the Venetian or Bellagio. The Wynn has a topless pool with a 10 dollar blackjack table nearby.

[Iowanian]

If you're going to vegas with a bunch of 21 year olds you might as well bring some sleeping pills to take the Tiger back home.

I am a little worried about that

I’m to old for that shit

[wheeler08]

We went to the Absinthe show last February. Can’t remember what casino it was at, but it might be Caesar’s. Best show I’ve ever seen while in Vegas. I was in awe the whole time. Some hot chicks as well

Things I don’t miss when I go to Vegas:

In n’ Out right by O’Shea’s (Linq)

Hash House A Go Go in the Linq.

Caesars has a sweet sports book. Bally’s in the basement isn’t a terrible alternative.

Mechanical Horse races at The D downtown. Right next to the bar, one of the few very cheap places left to drink in all of Vegas

Downtown itself has performers everywhere. Can’t carry an open container there anymore, though.

[scho63]

YOU DON'T GO TO VEGAS TO EAT AT IN AND OUT!!! WTF IS WRONG WITH SOME OF YOU?

YOU DON'T GO TO VEGAS TO EAT AT IN AND OUT!!! WTF IS WRONG WITH SOME OF YOU?

You assume we all have one right down the street. I personally am not going to eat gourmet every meal, especially when I’ve been drinking 3 days straight.

Yep. This is in front of Ceasars Palace and is a great show.

I'd throw out Top-Golf as well.

The Water Show at the Wynn is cool, but I took my wife to it, not sure I'd do that on a guys trip.

Am interested in finding more cool spots to watch the games at.

Great thread!

[BlackOp]

Sportsbook for 21st?...skip all that and take him to Spearmint Rhino.

We stayed at the Linq and thought it was great. Right in the middle of everything and great price. And Hash House was our go to for breakfast. I’m from Indiana and didn’t even know what In and Out burger was, guess I really missed out

I'll second Top Golf- decent way to get your drink on during the day to curb a hangover from the night before. Maybe a spot you could try is Beer Park (at Paris) right on the Strip, lots of draft beer on tap, food was decent, big balcony that overlooks the strip.

[O.city]

They’ve got all that planned

I’ll be at the sports book alone

Linq is our spot too. Lot of little bars around, good food. Good vibe in the area.

[notorious]

I find it amusing when beer pong players at O’Shea’s and Margaritaville pick the ball off the floor and chug beers that the nasty ****er has been thrown into.

10s of thousands of people walk on those floors every day.....

While I love sports gambling, I'm not a fan of most sports books.

Cesars is huge, and everyone is awesome when there are a ton of people watching a game.

I don't know, huge isn't cool IMO.

So I'm not really all that in to Cesars. I kind of like the book at Treasure Island better, just a smaller version. What I actually did one year was go over to the bar next to the craps tables they had three large screens, the crap tables had two, and we sat there and drank buckets of beers all day and they let us pick which games were on. A Caesars I'd rather hang at the bar outside of the sports book. Which is why I'm willing to try Lagasse’s Stadium.

I still like the Cosmopolitan, and I typically hit on a parlay there!

https://goodlifereport.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Race-Sports-Book_The-Cosmopolitan3.jpg

And the Cromwell is just kind of cool to gamble in.

https://www.lasvegasjaunt.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/the-cromwell-las-vegas-casino-940x460.jpg

And Giada De Laurentiis has a restaurant there. I'd probably go just in hopes to see her "goods"

Well hell, Now I guess I'll just eat at Joe's one night and The Golden Steer another night.

My fucking brother will want to eat at PF Changs....

Nice Hoov. I’m going to check some of those out. Last time I was at Cromwell there were some strange people there.

[digger]

In before hookers and blow... :D

Oh Hell, I forgot all about Boulder dam and the bridge. That is truly awesome.

[scho63]

If they were going for 7-10 days tossing in an IN N OUT burger would be acceptable.

They are there for a weekend only, LIVE IT UP! :D

I've been a handful of times so I know a few places, just looking for any other ideas. Where is the best sports book for the Sunday games?

You definitely need to hit up the Encore Beach Club. Some fantastic eye candy there.

Where the Ceasars Palace Sportsbook is is a pretty cool location for partying but I like the Bellagio sportsbook better if you want a little focus as it's tucked into the corner by the poker room.

[Carlota69]

Westgate is by far the most happening and most famous Sportsbook in Vegas. Huge party also inside the Theater at Westgate where all the games are on and theres drink specials, food specials, and lots of giveaways./ My radio station is there and we giveaway stuff too. Plus a betting station connected to the sportsbook is right outside the theater.

The Knights are also in town and thats a hockey experience like no other.

Other than that, Downtown is cool for driks and food and a ton cheaper than the "Strip"

Best steak for the buck is at Hugos Cellar at The 4 Queens and a place called Therapy DTLV has a steak encrusted in espresso beans and a huckleberry glaze that is TO DIE FOR. Pizza at Evel Pie is also killer, and overall the DTLV area is poppin BIGTIME

If you need more info just ask. Ive lived here for almost 22 years. This ts a great city.

[DJ's left nut]

This is gonna sound stupid (and kinda is) but Twin Peaks has these massive freezer mugs you can buy and get re-filled cheap. And since Vegas is the weirdest place on earth, you can just wander around town with them.

So we'd roll our asses out of bed and the first thing we'd do is go over to Twin Peaks to fill up our gigantic beers for half of what they cost anywhere else. And since they were those freezable kinds, the beer actually got a frost top and then stayed cold for an hour or so. If you're near that area, it's not a bad way to get a couple of cheaper beers in.

And mother of fuck, those girls are 'bout naked in there. The Twin Peaks in KC is pretty skanky and mediocre, but the girls at the one in Vegas are just rocking straight up G-Strings with their asses hanging out and most of them could use their bodies to pay their rent.

Not 'vegas' by any means, but not a bad pitstop to fill your beers before doing other stuff. We go during March Madness and it's a pretty good place to just sit around, drink cheap beers, get some appetizers and watch a round of games before going to the sportsbooks.

I'll also recommend Top Golf; that was a good time but nothing Vegas specific by any stretch. There's a place where you can get 8 dollar frozen mixed drinks out near the sportsbooks that will !@#$ you up quickly and again - much cheaper than anywhere else. Wish I could remember where it was but we passed by it a dozen times and it's not small; something of an outdoor kiosk with taps on either side of the bar. It's a little like Tropical Liquers in CoMo if you ever hit that up.

Oh, and if you go to O'Shea's and play Beer Pong until 3 in the morning and then wander about the new strip for awhile, there's a magic Gyro stand that appears in between knock-off sunglasses stands. They have the best Gyro ever and canned soda that convinces you it's time to walk out to the Vegas sign. Sadly, it's magic and could never be relocated so I can't tell you where it is. But I assure you it appears and convinces you to eat delicious Greek food and then do stupid things when you're drunk and tired.

Find a place for cheap ass prime rib dinners, take them to some brothels and let them fuckers get lit and gamble. Not a hard trip to do.

[DJ's left nut]

Find a place for cheap ass prime rib dinners, take them to some brothels and let them fuckers get lit and gamble. Not a hard trip to do.

Those still exist out there?

We figured the old downtown would have some cool 'old school' cheap prime rib kinda dinners - natch. Best we could find was a little diner that I vaguely recall was near the Golden Nugget (but it probably wasn't...)

Freemont was probably my favorite part of the trip but we were there over March Madness and St. Pats so of course the place was absolutely nuts; 4 different concerts going at various locales - too awesome.

Don't go to the steakhouse inside Circus Circus - that was highly recommended and disappointing as hell. Atmosphere was really neat, don't get me wrong, but I actually had to salt my damn steak to get some flavor out of it and it wasn't exactly tough, but it wasn't better than what I could get at Texas Roadhouse. All in all, a thoroughly average steak from a place that sure appeared to be coasting on reputation.

[Hoover]

I've rented a car the last couple times I've been out there, because it's cheap, and we typically want to do something non-strip oriented on Friday. Having a car can save you some coin on meals. For example we went to Red Rocks Casino for the breakfast buffet and bowled a few frames and it cost like 10 bucks.

This time we are doing Turo - got an X-5 that comes with VIP parking at all MGM properties. So we will probably use that. Plus I can get it at the airport and just leave it at the hotel since we are staying at an MGM property - Delano at Mandalay Bay.

[SuperBowl4]

"Resort fees" really chafe me, to the point that I won't stay in a hotel that charges them. They're nothing but hidden fees that are tacked on after they've already given you a price.

Resort fees, people. Ask about them. And don't stay in a place that charges them outside of the stated room price.

Not like the good ol'days, but wife and I had prime rib dinners for $30 the last time we were there. So, not bad.

They tried to bait and switch us but found some when I told them to fuck off and that we were going to leave.

In cased you missed it, this is great advice. The Westgate is the old Las Vegas Hilton and is just off the strip. You can take the monorail there.

4 dollar pitchers were the icing on the cake.

Definitely had a lot of fun in that place. I still like the Strip for pure awe factor but I almost never gamble there anymore. DT or the Rio for me. Just not the same vibe without Bill’s

[BWillie]

Best room- Cosmo with a balcony
Best show- Absinthe at Ceasars
Best steak- the Palm Ceasars (get the filet)
Best people watching- Freemont
Best nightclub- Marquee at Cosmo
Best breakfast- Eggslut at Cosmo
Best lunch - Hofbrauhaus

Also suggest the helicopter tour to Grand Canyon...awesome!!

Second that about Absinthe. Not a bad seat in the house. Tickets are so expensive and it's an intimate atmosphere. If you are easily offended, you might want to sit it out though.

[Bowser]

They have a Giordano's Pizza out there. Great for middle of the day munching.

Carnival Court at the Linq is a shitload of fun. The 21 yo's would love it.


Everything else I would recommend has already been mentioned. Maybe take the young ins to Dick's Last Resort in Excalibur, that would be right up their alley.

[MahiMike]

I won the most money at the poker tables at excalibur and Planet Hollywood had the best tournaments. The cigar bar at Mandalay Bay has a great view of the strip.

I stayed at the Vdara in between Aria and Cosmopolitan. I saw Marcus Allen at a Derek Jeter event at Aria. Cosmopolitan is the most over the top place I saw. I think the parking garage itself is made out of marble. Crazy.

I didn't think it was worth the trip to the old downtown area myself but I did well at the Golden Nugget tables too.

[Jewish Rabbi]

Eggslut was amazing, well worth the 1.5 hour wait.

Agree to disagree here. Was not worth the hour wait and $18 for a sandwich and juice, IMO.

[SuperBowl4]

OK - I guess you never leave the house...

I'd guess that Vegas is probably one of the safest places to go with all the surveillance and security on properties. Not going to let some crazy MoFo dictate my travel plans.I get out every day. just wouldn't go to Vegas and give my money away to BILLIONAIRE casino owners. Vegas is there and there for ONE reason ONLY. TO TAKE YOUR MONEY. Have fun suckers.

[SuperBowl4]

Really? Were you there? At the venue?No. I was not there during the massacre. I'm just turned off towards the whole vegas thing. I was totally into it in my 20's, back in the 80's.

[ForeverChiefs58]

I am trying to get meet and greet tickets for Aerosmith

The only thing I can find is VIP tickets for $2,500. And that doesn’t include tickets to the concert.

[Jewish Rabbi]

A. You absolutely made it appear that you no longer go to Vegas because of the mass shooting. Now, you say it’s because it exists to take your money. Which one is it?

B. All entertainment venues and vendors are there for the same reason you chastise Vegas. The movies, sports leagues, restaurants, etc. They all just want your money as well. Therefore, as has always been the case, your personal entertainment dollar is only as valuable as what you desire to spend it on. Whether you want to spend it on a safari, at the flea market, or in Vegas, that money is gone. So you might as well spend it on whatever floats your boat.

[BlackOp]

If you want to check out some desert nature and enjoy the great weather...Red Rocks National park is pretty awesome.

It's only 15 minutes west of the Hotel.

[cabletech94]

is the peppermill still around? got advice from a planeteer several years ago. GREAT GREAT meal!! and the breakfast portions where YUUUUGE!!

[C3HIEF3S]

FYI - CVS has the cheapest beer on the strip. Tall boys are $3-4.

Calling Nzoner...

The best sportsbook is off the Strip but the monorail will take you there

It's at The Westgate and you've got to see it to believe it (https://www.currentsportsbetting.com/las-vegas-sportsbooks/westgate/)

The Superbook is massive and has always easily been the largest sportsbook in Las Vegas

http://2ley7l42nt9s3jvzio2zneqa-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/CD0359_2016-SportsBook-0516.jpg

[Nzoner]

Then hit it up for NCAA. For NFL Sunday, Westgate Football Central is a must do.

Westgate is by far the most happening and most famous Sportsbook in Vegas. Huge party also inside the Theater at Westgate where all the games are on and theres drink specials, food specials, and lots of giveaways./ My radio station is there and we giveaway stuff too. Plus a betting station connected to the sportsbook is right outside the theater.



If you need more info just ask. Ive lived here for almost 22 years. This ts a great city.

In cased you missed it, this is great advice. The Westgate is the old Las Vegas Hilton and is just off the strip. You can take the monorail there.

.

I knew you'd all be chiming in too with great advice :D

[Why Not?]

"Resort fees" really chafe me, to the point that I won't stay in a hotel that charges them. They're nothing but hidden fees that are tacked on after they've already given you a price.

Resort fees, people. Ask about them. And don't stay in a place that charges them outside of the stated room price.

Especially when it's not even a fucking resort! :cuss:

[neech]

YOU DON'T GO TO VEGAS TO EAT AT GIORDANO'S PIZZA!!! WTF IS WRONG WITH SOME OF YOU?

Lol! They're not going FOR it, but since they're there and Giordano's is there.....

[O.city]

Survived the first night

Ate at Joes, too many martinis

[Johnny Vegas]

Eggslut at cosmo is pretty good. Burger lounge at Aria is pretty fire too. Reef has some good hangover cures. Ha

[saphojunkie]

YOU DON'T GO TO VEGAS TO EAT AT IN AND OUT!!! WTF IS WRONG WITH SOME OF YOU?

this.

[Rain Man]

Especially when it's not even a ****ing resort! :cuss:

No kidding. I've had highway-exit motels charge me a "resort fee" when I checked in. Is that for the vending machine at the end of the hall or something, because there's not a resort here.

If I'm staying some place that I think might do it, like Las Vegas, I'll always check for it. But it seems like the nefarious practice is spreading near and far, and I view as nothing more than common theft. They offer misleading pricing and then change it once you arrive.

[Nzoner]

I went to Vegas and ate a $5 Subway,I'm there to gamble not get fine dining.

Oh and there's a dam nearby too?

[KChiefs1]

I’m ready to start a tradition of going to Chiefs games in Las Vegas.

What a fun trip.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Really? Were you there? At the venue?

I was living there at the time but not at the venue. Woke up to like 25 messages on my phone. It was fucking nuts as you well know.

I have never been to vegas, but I have been wondering why my friend Vegas Craig is always smoking cigars in my aunt's basement. One day he was leaving and pulled out of the driveway nearly hitting the girl's car named Jessica. Jessica starts blaring her horn because she's late for work and thankfully they do not collide. Then she makes it to work but is a huge bitch all day. Adam, her boss gets irritated by her attitude and goes home early. When he gets there his house is a mess so he starts yelling at his son and kicks the dog. He always hated that fucking dog. The dog's previous owner was a little girl with leukemia named Janet, she was so sweet! Even though life dealt her a rough hand, she was so positive. She loved TV Land and old episodes of All In The Family. Then one day her and he family got on a plane to go get her life saving treatment and unfortunately the plane was hijacked and hit the second tower on 9/11. Sad stuff, guys. Don't go to Vegas. For real.

Man that looks awesome. I think you live aroubd the KC area? What would you say a weekend out there cost? I think going out there the first week of March Madness would be awesome.

[Why Not?]

Damn. Missed you by one week. I was there last Sunday.

[wheeler08]

For some reason In Indiana, I have a lot of friends that are Raider fans. 2 outta 3 are actually from the Bay Area. We are soft planning on going to Vegas next year for the first Vegas/KC game.

Ironically after reading this thread when it first started, it got me jonesing to go back to Vegas. The wife and I went last Feb for our 5 year anniversary. So we are going back again in February. We went all out on fine dining and went on helicopter tour of canyon. This time we’re just keeping it simple. Staying at The Linq again. She’s super stoked for the new candy super store that opened and the martinis they have. Going to see Jeff Dunham while there.

[Nzoner]

Man that looks awesome. I think you live aroubd the KC area? What would you say a weekend out there cost? I think going out there the first week of March Madness would be awesome.

That's the good thing about Vegas you can pretty much go on about any budget.

The Bargain Bin IMO would be

1.Fly Southwest non stop early or late flights on a weekday or Spirit out of KC

2.If a fancy casino/room is not important you stay at Circus Circus,downtown or a bit off the Strip and use the bus line to go to and fro.

3.If food is not important there are plenty of Subways etc. I also suggest hitting up Sam's before you leave and get some bulk snacks to put in your suitcase.I also know guys who take their own booze and buy a cheap cooler once there as it's Vegas you can carry that stuff practically anywhere.

4.Gambling-now this is where it can get tricky.If you're not attracted by all the bells and whistles you'll be fine.

Personally I've been the first weekend of MM numerous times and it's a zoo,and prices are inflated during that period plus it can be very difficult finding a place to watch all the games unless you're willing to pay big bucks for a watch party or you're willing to camp out at a sportsbook all night to secure yourself a seat.

To give you a price would be unfair as there's just too many variables but hopefully the above gives you some ideas if you don't want to break the bank.
