Vegas Vacation!

I'm going to Vegas in August (I know, hot as hell) with some friends that I grew up with; an all out "dudes trip". We already have rooms booked at Planet Hollywood for 4 nights and have been trying to figure out what to do when we get there! Other than our general plan of gambling and getting shit faced, are there any shows, bars, places to eat that just cannot be missed? I've been there a couple times and have seen pretty much all of the free attractions (pirate ship, freemont show, etc.). I rode almost every roller coaster on the strip , but haven't seen any of the magic shows or been to any of the clubs...
Any advice or tips will be much appreciated!

Found that out the hard way last time after buying extacy from doug... :shock: (j/k) It was a fun ride though!
Indeed it was fun...but for a minute I thought I was going to fall out and die on impact to the concrete...not exactly the way I'd choose to die in Vegas....

Ix-nay on all the tacky shit. Gamble at O'Shea's. They have beer pong in the back. Poolside is where you should be during the day. First, hit the breakfast buffets. Then consume mass quantities of booze poolside. If you're there on a Sunday, go to the Hard Rock mad early and get into Rehab. If you got the money get a cabana. It's a huge douche fest. But the female scenery is ridiculous. And my final tip is two words - SPEARMINT RHINO.
Batista's.
if your a sports/nightclub guy, 40/40 club at the Palazzo.
Red Rock Canyon to get away from all the bullshit and Neon.
When you've lost all your money and need a cheap,dirty hole in the wall, Laughing Jackalope across from Mandalay Bay.
Have fun in vegas, tough to really go wrong..
Damn dude, 4 nights??? That's goin to be quite a bender for ya. Last "dudes trip", we did 3 nights and I was a completel fucking mess. Like someone else mentioned, you should definitely hit up o'sheas. Play some beer pong The beer is really cheap and they have a burger king. What else can you ask for??
I'm not into the whole club thing when I'm out there, but the scenery at those places is always a plus. My favorite spot out there is the piano bar at NY, NY. Every time I've been there, I've had a fucking blast. It's pretty much an all night, drunken sing along.
Sounds like the Tavernacle here in Salt Lake.

Yeah, 4 is one too many. Three is perfect - just close enough without going over the edge. Good luck, man.
I did it a couple weeks back. Basically the strap you in and hook you up to these cables and then let you jump off the 108th story of the Stratosphere tower.
It's pretty much a blast! You fall all the way down to the street and they slow you down at the bottom.
It's $100 but totally worth it!
Tip: Book it well in advance, or go at night to try to get in on cancellations. There is a long list, but if someone cancels, you're in!
Also, I'd recommend old Vegas. Better gambling, less BS.
On your "off night"...if you have one, I'd try to find a decent poker room. $1-2 sit and go tables are open all over the place. Sit there, drink all night for free and kick some tourist ass!
I took in $500 one night. Because they wait for full or near-full tables. You can seriously sit there and play all night. Get caught on a bluff or two early, then sit there and wait for a big hand. Free booze and easy money...can't beat it!
Of my innocence... got back my inner sense...

HAAHAHA....classic line. Every time I watch that movie, it makes me want to get on a plane to Vegas.
Not too many tips. Fun is to be had everywhere.
A huge tip is watch where you eat. It is easy to spend a ton of unnecessary money on food there. With a little bit of effort you can get tastier food for much cheaper and save yourself hundreds of $.
Also paying for drinks will be expensive. If you pay, get a grain alcohol drink. You will be set for a long time.
I also back O' Sheas and Bill's Gamblin Hall and Saloon. Both right down the strip close to Planet Hollywood.
Planet Hollywood has a cool mall attached to it. Inside this mall is a place called Vegas Burger or something like that... great burgers (especially for a hangover). There is also a sportsbar (forget the name) that is rated as one of the best in the country.
lastly, learn how to play Pai Gow Poker.
Seriously though, Nine Fine Irishmen @ New York New York is a excellent bar. Sea Blue at MGM Grand is good food, as is Mesa Grill (Bobby Flay) at Ceaser's Palace, both are pricey though.
