I am so excited! Its going to be my first time in Vegas. We're staying at the Stratosphere. I was wondering if there is any place I have to make sure to go while I'm there. Any good shows that aren't really expensive??
Are there any really cool record stores (doesn't have to be on the strip) or any place that I can get PJ or U2 stuff at???
Any help would be great.

we stayed at the Hard Rock which we all really loved.
did you check and see if anyone is playing there while you're in town?
if I was going to Vegas I would LOVE to see the Beatles/Cirque de Soleil show.
HAVE FUN!

The Stratosphere has some great views of the city...especially at night. Take a camera up top with you.
Hard Rock has the IMO the best gaming floor atmosphere....with the bar in the center....good, fun vibe there. And if you're there real late, get some breakfast at Mr. Lucky's before heading to bed. Some of the Big casino's like Caesar's or Mandalay Bay are too serious...nobody having fun..just there to win money and not socialize.
As for shows....Blue Man is cool if you haven't seen them...I think they are at the Venetian now. But tix for shows on the strip can be pricey....but the cheaper shows or freebies are pretty cheesy. I go to gamble, so I guess I'm not really the one to talk about shows. Although, Lance Burton sucks and is overpriced....I've heard Danny Gans is pretty good ticket....Never seen the Circus de Soliel shit...however you spell it.
Have a good time, and set gambling limits for each night before you go. Remember you're there to have fun, and the Casino always has the edge no matter what. They didn't build these billion dollar hotels by letting you win.
have fun! enjoy the TUF finale! i asked you in the other thread if you were still going, but i guess this answers my question, eh?
huerta vs. guida could be fight of the year, so i'm very jealous you'll get to see it live! :mad:
...and sorry i don't have any info on veags. i've yet to go there...just thought i would wish you a good trip.
give Roger Huerta a kiss for me!
put on a slow, dumb show for you

so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I'm very, very frightening
and I'll overdo it'
haha
Put your money on black.

Buy yourself a margerita with the shoulder strap!
If you're looking for top notch buffets, the RIO is absolutely ridiculous, it has something like 13 different cutting stations. If you think of any food I assure you it's at the RIO buffet. IMO the Rio is the best Vegas style hotel. They have a show in the sky where walls come down and all of a sudden it becomes mardi gras with balloons and trains hanging from the ceiling. There's really no way to describe it, it's simply ridiculous. They have free shuttles that leave Bally's and Caesar's to take you there, think it's every 15 mins and only takes about 10 mins to get there. Palms is right across the road to visit as well.
As for shows, my wife and I have seen Penn and Teller, Blue Man Group, Lance Burton, David Copperfield and three Cirque Du Soleil shows. All were great but are somewhat expensive. If you want to see Cirque go to Treasure Island for Mystere (if it's still there) it's reasonably prices at around $75 I think as opposed to $150 at the Bellagio. Madame Tussauds wax museum at the Venetian is worth the money of admission as well!
Old Vegas, as someone pointed out has a unique feel to it forsure. Huge canopy type deal overhead the joins four different casinos. You can hop on a bus anywhere on the strip and it will eventually get you to old Vegas. Think the cost roundtrip is about $4.
Heard Price Is Right is a lot of fun and hilarious although I've never gone. Tickets are $50 or so and you're odds of going up to contestant row are 1 in 3
Regardless of where you go and what you do, you'll have the time of your life! Remember, never walk a flight of stairs, look around and you'll find an escalator to make your trip easier
Leaving is for the answering machine.
Indian Summer: I saw Blue Man group for free when it was here in Toronto (my Aunt got tix through her work) and it was GREAT, so not gonna go in Vegas. Also we aren't gonna have time to see the Hover Dam, but I've heard great things about it. My uncle flies in the day I leave and he is going with his new wife.
Hey Sen...thats so sweet! Maybe I'll see you there lol. Ohh gotta tell my roomie about Vince Neils shop...she LOOOVES him and she is a tattoo addict. (she has both sleeves, one leg, stomach, behind the neck, back, foot, small stuff on the chest...etc). She is loyal to her guy here so can't see her getting a tat in Vegas.
Haha Margerita (sp) with a shoulder strap??? haha omg I gotta get me one of those!! What hotel/bar has those?
Mookie...the UFC card is pretty weak and with them charging $150 for nosebleeds my roomie doesn't wanna go to the show anymore. Looks like we'll prob hit the hotel room at 9pm with some pizza and watch it on Spike TV.
so what about shopping folks??? Where do I need to go?? Is there anywhere that PJ or U2 stuff??? any good Vinyl shops??
couple tourisy things...
the eiffel tower at night. watch the bellagio water show and check out the strip at night.
the zoo at mirage - cool dolphin stuff.
hit some dueling piano shows.
nah, you gotta go....it's only one street over.
