Going to Vegas For the First Time

The TI show has changed to "The Sirens of TI". It's notoriously terrible! I think it's dark right now for maintenance, anyway.

 

Cheap drinks: $1 Michelobs at Casino Royal

 

Oh damn. That sucks. The old show was awesome.

i go to vegas 1-2 times per year. Stayed at a lot of places, including the Westin. It's weird because they allow Dogs in the hotel. Small casino so you'll probably want to play elsewhere. Westin table games don't open until nightime. Go play at Ballys/Paris instead. Watch out for the "ladies of the night" at the bar. Some are tranies too. If you do play at the Westin, sign up for the players card. They do good with comps.

 

downtown is overrated. It takes forever to get there (Especially at nighttime), and isn't that cool. Kind of slummy down there too. Watch your wallet.

 

On the strip, I really enjoy playing at Paris, Ballys and Mirage. Caesars is pretty cool too.

 

Fun non-gambling things to do...

* Check out the Caesars Mall, including the new portion with the winding escalator.

* Check out Caesars pool, its pretty neat.

* See if Pete Rose is signing autographs. He's been there the last 3 times I was in Vegas. (My buddies and I wanted to get him to sign a MLB line sheet but thought that was in poor taste)

* If you're there on a Sunday or Saturday, hang out in a Sportsbook and take in a day's worth of Football/Basketball.

* Aladdin/Planet Hollywood is pretty cool at night. Quite the party.

* If you're into Casino hopping, the Wynn and the Mandalay Bay are worth checking out.

* Ride the trams... your feet with thank you later

* Buffets are pretty expensive now. The days of the $5 all you can eat are long gone. (And probably the places that offer this, you don't want to eat at anyway)

* Bellagio fountain is cool.

* Check out the free coupon books on-line or at the casinos. Lots of Free Food deals. (Hot Dogs, Ice Cream, etc)

* Hooters Casino can be fun to hang out at.

* Palms casino is overrated. They have the Playboy tower/club but I think its $40 just to get in.

 

HAVE A GREAT TIME. I LOVE LAS VEGAS.

Everytime I've been to Vegas since turning 21 (4 times now, 3 in the past year) I've seen Pete at the Field of Dreams at Caesars and every time I continue to talk way too loud saying smart ass comments about Pete (from the words of what a loser to, couple sentence rants on why the prick should never belong in the hall). And yes since it is Vegas I'm typically drunk at the time.

 

Oh and Caesars is awesome...awesome. I love the Casino, mall is nice if you are into that thing, and ya Caesars is my place (Wynn is pretty cool too, but I still prefer the Venetian in terms of a cool looking hotel).

One thing you should have done by now if you haven't already is read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Been there. Cheap booze if you go in the afternoon. Women were ok, not as good lookign as at Scores, but at least you weren't bombarded every 4 minutes to "buy your favorite girl a bottle of champaign in our newly updated champaign room". Yo DJ dude, I'm there to drink and watch the women (not always in that order), so shut up! But hey, enjoy!

We actually have one of those down here in Melbourne as well funnily enough.

Ive been there numerous, numerous times. Heres some tips that I use:

 

for free cocktails, relatively, play the $1 dollar hold em at excaliber, the big castle. Theres only one blind so if you dont play a hand you can drink for about $2 per hour, plus its where they bring the people who just took the "how to play hold em" class to play. Tip the cocktail waitress good the first time and you can get wrecked there for next to nothing.

 

the girls on the cards they hand out arent the ones they send to your room

 

slots of fun, next to circus circus has $1 Heinekens all the time

 

theres a Coyote Ugly in New York., NY thats pretty cool

 

going to ghost bar is a good experience but its debatable whether its worth the time or money

 

during the day its cool to rent the dune buggy cars and drive them up and down the strip

 

my best gambling always happens at gold coast

oh, and the rides on top of the stratosphere are amazing at night
