nixy Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I've never been (but it's on my list) however I still feel qualified to give you the BEST piece of advice: Do not get so drunk that you end up getting married by an Elvis impersonator and regret it in the morning!

jonathan73 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 After Chris's input Liam I have nothing to add. We've probably been as many times as each other. But I've only ever been once with Mrs 73. Plenty of times with the boys Therefore, my advice may not be girlfriend-friendly Madalay Bay has a cool frozen bar though... Oh, and the Hooters hotel had some sights! But you may want to stick with the helicopter canyon ride. But don't do the "western adventure" one. Go to the bottom and have brunch. And don't go in a plane either, helicopter is the only way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinopy Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Yeah hooters is worth a look for the staff and is beside the MGM, total craphole otherwise. Drais is a great wee nightclub on the strip and usually no cue like some other clubs have. I was over in dec for the Hatton fight and Planet Hollywood was the place to be. I think if you stick to the strip you can't go wrong and you've got a monorail station right in the MGM. OH and a really good tip is use the hotel check in desk at the airport while you are waiting on your bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmmackfc Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 helicopter is the only way to go. +1 Went in the plane the first time, terrible... never even saw the river! 2nd time went in the helicopter There is a bar I never tried but read about on the way home called the Freakin Frog. Apparently has over 900 beers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davej Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 We got married there, 2yrs ago, stayed in the stratosphere but you have to go up the tower!, janice went on the rides, honest i had to take pics so couldnt go ont them other highlights, included finding the GM Demo arena out the back of the monte carlo?. 10 dollars got you a go in 4x4, big black H2 Hummer, us and a go round the lap in a some quicker ones, vette, gto (monaro)! Definately do the helicopter, we went with papillon, early morning before it got to hot, and breakfast in the canyon Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennydies Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 The Piano bar is in New York New York and is called times sqaure something, is really good but gets busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennydies Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I did the copter tour of Hover and the Canyon, landed in the bottom for Champagne lunch. If you are heading up the strip take the first main right after the luxor and find the gun store down the road. You can shoot a selection of guns for about $250. Another tip for free drinks: A lot of the bars have machines built into the top of the bar. The rule is that if you have over $20 of credit in them the drinks are free. I used to put $20 play one or 2 games when the bar man was around and keep topping up the credit when i wanted free drinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD7 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I went in September for a week - most amazing place on the planet! Did the helicopter over the canyon and then landed in it for dinner. I did the sunset tour which the women seem to like! Def agree with going to the club at Palms, amazing to be drinking so high up, bit scary when you look over the side though! Not sure it's clever having people drunk on a balcony ridiculously high up! The main other thing I'd recommend is dinner in the Stratosphere as it rotates while you eat, very romantic if you're into that kind of thing! I even smile while typing this, what a place! Also managed to spend £1k at the wheels during my time!! Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is relying on the alcohol to play its part so she wont actually realise whats happening lol... Sarnie is this the same woman you was with before or the mail order bride you ordered last year on the internet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Been to Vegas 4 times now, first a holiday next three times with work. But not keen. V-Bar in Venetian is good, if you like live music the house are real good and free. Wynn is one of the best hotels also. The Luxor is now a bit dated but stayed there first as wanted something different. Start the trip off with a meal at the tower Stratosphere. the hotel is crap and down market but the revolving restaurant is a great way to see the strip. As with most other people the helicopter trip to the grand canyon is one the best things you can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
