Going to Vegas

[loochy]

Stay on the strip. It's worth it to be able to walk downstairs and go outside to one of the other casinos.

Bring comfortable shoes. You'll be walking...A LOT. The maps of the strip don't really indicate how far it is from one end to the other. If you want to take a cab, it'll take forever because traffic down Las Vegas Blvd is God awful.

Don't go on a weekend. The prices on the hotels are super jacked up on the weekend and all of the minimums on the tables are raised up super high.

Buy your own liquor at a store that's not on the strip. When you get your cab at the airport, ask him to run you by a liquor store. Buying liquor at any of the bars is super expensive. I know that you can get free drinks while gambling, but that gets to be counter productive pretty quickly.

Fremont St. sucks balls IMO. I guess its worth a look, but it's not really happening over there. However, everything over there is WAY cheaper, so if you are motivated by money, then that's the place for you.

Go see Cirque du Soleil (or however the f you spell it). We saw Mystere, which is the original one that's at Treasure Island. It was amazing. I heard that Ka (MGM Grand) and the stripper one (NY NY) aren't as good.

Be prepared for little mexican people in stupid T shirts standing on every street corner handing you porno business cards. They stand there and flick them to make noice, then they literally shove them right up in your face while they sit there and listen to their IPods. All of the sidewalks are littered with little porno cards.

Like this - they are everywhere!


But Vegas really is a lot of fun, especially the first time you go there!
