Let me think about which ones I want to disclose for now...then when I'm drinking at night I'll post the better ones!
My favorite thing about Vegas?
is this on Fremont?
- Christopher McCandless
Ah shit yeah!!! Love when they ask me if I want the extra shot for a buck! I'm like fuck yeah homie!
Those right there are the only drinks I'll buy and Vegas is the only place I'll drink more than beer anymore. You have no idea how wired you just made me by this thread and this picture. I literaly will be dry humping my chair later thinking about going there in April!
That could be anywhere. Every casino has multiple stands like that.
Nectar of the gods I tell you!!!
though i do like the pretty lights and restaurants
it's overcrowded because it went from a gambling town to a place for people who like pretty lights and restaurants
it's also nice catching a Q on the river to save your stack.
i don't have any good stories, both my trips were for business, so I had to be good...co workers...not so much.
i made money both times there...so that's worth something
I am not about to type out all of the horrid/awesome things I have been involved with there. I will say that after dating for 10 years and being married for 4 years that my wife and I have been to Vegas about 60 times in that time span. 9 by her (w/o me), 50 by me (w/o her) and 1 time together.
It only took 1 visit there together to find out we are not Vegas-Compatible.
Me = Gambling, Drinking, Drugging (past) acting like a total animal and loving every second of it. Sleeping is frowned upon.
Wife = walking all of the different casinos during the day to see new things, buy some outrageously priced clothes/shoes, etc, lay by the pool...get dolled up like a, well, I dont want to call my wife that...but all dolled up like the ladies of Vegas dress....go out to a club and get bottle service.
I love Vegas and love going there....but I love leaving there every time as well!

My fiance and I are the same exact way. We went to Vegas together a couple years ago and we got into a few arguments. I'm more of a gambling/drinking all day type and she wants to walk around and shop and all of that other shit. The only way we will go together again is if there are some other couples involved so the girls can go do whatever they want and the guys can sit at a blackjack table or the sportsbook all day.
Going to Vegas for my bachelor party labor day weekend. I'm sure I will have some stories to share after that one.
*it's a long drive from Seattle
*you CAN fit 12 people in a limo-no matter what the limo driver says
*only go to Vegas with people that you like
*when it's 75-80 the locals are bundled up in jeans, sweatshirts and hoodies
I'd rather not incriminate myself on what else happened there.

I can fully endorse these two.

we got called out...a hotel worker asked "where you visiting from?"
:? "Seattle"
we were wearing shorts and T-shirts...

During the winter months in Vegas, locals can spot tourists from a mile away. Might as well be dressed like this.
I'm actually there about once a month...again...for work. :x
The last time I was there for fun was for a buddy's wedding. Sat down at a poker table, first hand was pocket aces. Started out hot, was up about a grand then everything went to shit. Don't think the free booze helped!
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
The first trip my hubby and I took together (when we had JUST started dating) was to Vegas...so now it's 'our' place...even got engaged there. We've been there about 15 times together. Luckily we both love to gamble and party like it's going out of style, so it works well for us. Would LOVE a girls' trip to Vegas...but I'd very likely get arrested :?
I'm so very jealous that your bachelor party will be in Vegas. Godspeed my friend.
That's nice....I wish 'our' place was Vegas. We both love the party aspect, but she's not the type to sit and gamble all day where I could easily sit at a blackjack table for 5 hours and think nothing of it. Oh well.
The bachelor party should be fun. A good friend of mine is getting married a month before me so we're making it a dual bachelor party...should be pretty rowdy.
Pai Gow is not even gambling...it's a drinking game! Also, did I say it's one of my favorites!!!
DUAL BP? Oh man, you guys are going to be a wrecking crew.
I love sitting for 5+ hours at a gaming table (some form of poker until I win enough to go play craps) but yeah, my wife doesnt really think that is fun.
Make sure to find a way to let people know it is your bachelor party. You want to run into drunken groups of women so your non-married buddies will be able to increase their chances of being able to party like total morons with the 2 bachelors as well as meet up with an equally wild woman.
My liver hurts for you now.
For the EV show I am going with my wife but we are flying in that afternoon, catching dinner, watching the show, gambling for a few hours and flying out the next AM. Will be our 2nd time there together but it will not be a standard Vegas excursion.
