    I JUST saw a special on the Travel Channel about the 21 hottest Vegas spots and they recommended a steak place and damned if I can remember the name. Trying to find it for you.

    I think pretty much all of the casinos have a high end steak joint, so you can't go wrong!

    The Striphouse at Planet Hollywood was the place I just saw on the Travel Channel. They claim it's the best in Vegas.

    I remember a buddy and I begging a waitress to get us some food from there. Apparently when you're totally smashed just playing Pai Gow for 5 bucks a hand you're not a big enough high roller for food demands! :lol:

    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!

    Yeah there's tons of great places to find a great steak. My fave is Il Fornaio in NYNY. There's also a Hugo's on Fremont St that I would highly recommend!

    In 48 hours I'll be on a plane heading for Las Vegas (via Minneapolis)!

    I've talked to my buddys and I think we've agreed the Bellagio buffet is a must, along with a good steak joint, while some of the other suggestions are going to be played by ear. Of course if I see a Fat Tuesdays I'll be sure to stop, with or without my friends.

    Thanks! I'm still preparing myself for the wads of cash that I know won't return with me.

    Nice! When you want to get your drink on cheaply just pony up to a Pai Gow table. :lol:

    I've been doing Craps training for the past week, so hopefully my practice games are an indication of how well I'll do.

    Late night Pai-Gow is my plan.
  • MayDay10MayDay10 Posts: 11,787
    Pai Gow is the best. Especially if you can post up with some friends. You can sit there with $100 and itll last hours and hours of free drinks. Its slow-paced and social.

    Last time I hit up Vegas my brother told me I had to try Pai Gow. I didn't get around to it then but this time around I will.
