Life Vegas Weekend - Page 2

O.city · 10-11-2019, 08:05 AM

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?

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

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

Cancel Joes and go to the Golden Steer Steakhouse-you'll thank me later

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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

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