Ok this is my first time going out west starting tomorrow, any info on what to do and where to go? The only place I want to see for sure is that hotel with the water fountain that was in the movie Ocean Twelve.

My lady is with me and she said she's bringing her toys and her own do not disturb sign and I'll have no computer at all.

No Message Pit, AET, AMT, No Spearhead Vibrations what will I do for 9-10 days in the heat? :)

    Holy shit. 9 days in vegas. I think I'd be dead if I spent that much time there. I barely lasted 4 the last time I was there. Enjoy the best city in the world!

    You ain't gotta tell me that I had tickets to the show Sunday @ Verizon Center. I had this vacation set up long ago before I was given tickets, my boss is friends the the owner of Verizon Center Abe Pollin.

    Gonna have to catch PJ some other time I guess.

    That my friend, would be the Bellagio. It's right in the middle of the strip, and it's georgeous. It's best seeing it at night, the lights make it spectacular. The Bellagio, however, is one of, if not THE most expensive Hotel/Casino on the Strip, so while you may go inside, do not buy anything from there, lol.

    The very first time i went to Vegas, we spent 3 whole days just walking from place to place, checking out the gift shops, and each Hotel/Casino's unique theme. You don't have to gamble in Vegas, and you don't have to spend much money. My advice for getting from one end of the Strip to the other, buses. Don't walk, or get taxi's. Use the buses.

    Also, to the... south? a few miles, there are outlet malls, there's a Nike one there too, got some really cool Nike stuff for super cheap. Ask someone about them.

    You'll have fun man. Oh, and if you do gamble, ALL your drinks are free, so do what i used to do, spend about $20-$30 on the 1c and 2c machines, and gamble on that money for about 5 hours, and get completely wasted on jack and cokes and cocktails!

    That was my thought as well, 9 days is too long for Vegas, I'm exhausted after 3.

    My thoughts too but my lady has me on lock down for 4 days (That's why she has her own do not disturb sign), she wants to try out all these new toys she just bought. She tried to explain them to me and I just told bring them and I'll figure what the hell to do with them. :D

    Thanks for this great info, yes it is called The Bellagio. My lady will like the outlet stores, I'm not walking but we planned on riding bikes. I'm due for foot surgery in August/Sept, so walking is out. as for Gambling she won't bet a penny but I'll bet something just to say played a bet. I've only been to a casino once in my life and that was because I went to The Who finale concert in Hollywood, FL last year.

    I have decided that 2 nights is the perfect amount of time in Vegas. Have fun. I love the Hard Rock. Best casino, in my opinion.

    Hit some good restaurants if you can. Joel Robuchon got 3 Michelin stars, I believe and is supposed to be amazing. Nobu is good too, as are several others.

    I've lived here for 30 years and there's not shit to do except bake under the relentless sun (expect 110ish temps). Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions. I'm kinda biased tho - IMHO, I don't know why anyone would vacation here :eek:

    P.S. Despite my buzz-kill comments, I probably can steer you toward/away from certain places.

    you're going to vegas for 9 days!

    take out a loan and get some IV bags!

    This is ALL paid for, my lady had a choice between Mexico, Hawaii or Vegas but we had to choose Vegas. Our schedules could not concur except for LV, however the heat will be another story. Come to think I was born in Jamaica and grew up briefly there and I still can't stand hot weather. Growing in Boston changed all that, I guess I just love winter my favorite.


    I'm not really interested in being out and about town more about getting some sleep and rest. I have a feeling my lady won't or isn't going to allow that. The suite is her main destination. :)

    Bellagio Hotel is about it for me.

    After a couple days of lockdown I'm thinking of driving somewhere I...we just need to get away from all the stresses at our homes ya know.

    No computer and the Message Pit is going to be a KILLER for 10 days. Now I know I'm addicted to this place.

    "Crash" as in too drunk to drink any more and not allowed in casinos?

    I thought we agreed that there will be no sleeping!

    Let me rephrase that. We'll go bang on imalive's door while in a drunken "state" and force him to drive us back to "Score's" where we left off and where EvilMerlin left his tab open for complete strangers to drink freely til we return. :D All the while stopping at every casino to do a shot or ten.....
