    Wow, is this really less than 2 weeks away! So stoked.
    Is there a thread on pre-party / Wishlist events that I may have missed for these shows?

    My buffets in order starting with best:

    Bellagio. This is a must...seriously.
    MGM
    Rio
    Luxor


    Since you're going for three days I'll stop at four. I could probably list a dozen or so more but I don't think you'll eat that much. :lol:


    There's also a pizza joint in the concourse at the MGM connecting the hotel to the monorail that had some of the most amazing pie I have ever had. I'll try and dig up the name.


    Took a picture of the place it was so amazing! :lol: I do remember though for two slices it was over ten bucks.

    dude this pizza place was good. I saw it out the corner of my eye and said we have to eat here to my friends. and it was tasty!

    Thank you :D

    The pool parties were pretty awesome. We went to the pool every afternoon we were there.

    also the Cosmopoliton Casino was ..... :o wow

    Lots of younger folks early 20's to 30's all dressed up and ready to party. I've never seen so many HOT people before in my life.

    The Playboy Club sucked but the view from the Moon Club was really cool looking out from the top of the buidling over the city.

    The Spearmint Rhino was a very nice time and lived up to my expectations 8-)

    I don't have many things to say about Vegas. One good thing I do have to say is that Vegas was the location of a bonding moment between my mother and I that I am particularly fond of. Moment goes like this:

    The whole family had a "The Hangover" type of weekend. We all felt the flowing of the booze. In the back seat of a limo while it was taking us back to our hotel my mom says she's gonna puke and I tell her "It's probably a good idea to not puke in this limo". I never thought I'd be holding a coin bucket to my mother's mouth to catch her vomit.

    I've never knew my mom could party like that. :shock: :lol:

    I've got one week left until my buddy's bachelor party in Vegas. Any last-minute tips? Two of us have each been there once, while another went as a child.

    Here's some things we're hoping to do:
    -get wasted
    -get limo and get wasted therein
    -eat well
    -drink well
    -shoot automatic weapons (sober)
    -pool party? (advice on this aspect, please. We've only researched one place thus far)
    -drink excessively
    -gamble (responsibly :lol:)

    as well as the standard bachelor party fare of strip clubs.

    Shit, what an oversight! That's definitely on the list now.

    I think you have all the essentials covered. Except for hookers and blow, like 81 mentioned. I think the itinerary for my bachelor party in Sept will look similar...except shooting automatic weapons. I don't think that would be a good idea to do at any point of the trip since I'll eaither be drunk, halfway drunk or miserably hungover.
