Got a really close friend going through a messy divorce. He is a good looking guy but not a drinker at all. I however love the booze. Some friends recommenced the ghost bar at the palms on Wednesday night. We are staying for a week grinding hard at aria so even a couple of places far or close does npt matter. He wants to get laid and have fun but i kind of think he needs to drink more than one drink. Thanks

Ghost bar is really cool, haven't been on a Wednesday though. Favorite club is Marque @ Cosmopolitan it has piles of hot ladies.

At the risk of being 'that person' or being the killjoy...

You say 'going through' a 'messy divorce' which tends to suggest that it is still an ongoing thing with no decree in place...and if that is the case, the plan of 'getting laid and having fun' could make a messy divorce even messier. I hope he has taken that into account...

You can be separated before the divorce is finalized and nothing would be held against you in arbitration/mediation, not sure if that's what you meant, but it's not like he's going to get in trouble or lose anything.

Ghost bar is pretty cool

Awesome guys are gonna try marque and ghost bar

Thanks

marquee isn't open on wednesdays....go to chandelier bar at cosmo

if you are looking for a club scene then surrender at encore is your best shot on a wednesday

Much depends on just how contentious proceedings are or whether division of assets has occurred/been hammered out. Opposing counsel can easily use trip to Vegas as excuse to rack up another 10-20 billable hours and claim improper use of assets, etc in addition to other spurious claims. And at $250-400 per hour (I base that on what I see frequently here in Texas), that adds up in a hurry, especially if OP's friend is somewhere where the husband often gets stuck with much of the fee for both sides.

Messy often means contentious, which is often synonymous with costly when it comes to divorce...

I would advise reconsidering the "get drunk and laid" plan but for different reasons.

1. People get emotional when drunk. The last thing you need is him drunk dialing his wife. The second to last thing you need is fpr him to break down crying at a club / bar.

2. Don't underestimate the probability they get back together. He may want to go out and stick his dick into as many holes as humanly possible, but it may turn into an even worse mess if they end up reconciling.

My unsolicited two cents?

Find a bar where he can easily pick up a few numbers to get a nice ego boost. Drink a little, but not too much. Fill the time with golf or poker or shooting automatic weapons.

When the divorce is finalized, take another trip and pack a gross of condoms.

I read that you're going to stay an entire week but if you're only going out on a Wednesday, I would also suggest Light at the Manadalay Bay for a club scene.

Also, is it really that easy to get one night stands in Las Vegas? Teach me Obi Wan Kenobe

Ya this is great advice. We will probably grind poker for 16 hours a day but if we win big or lose big we might let off a little steam.

I personally believe that Hyde inside Bellagio is one of the best places to go for a chill night. For each of my Vegas trips I book a table for Thursday night. It provides a great view of the fountains, which usually brings a solid group of ladies. It is just a lounge night on Thursday, but they do have a band. In between sets there is a DJ, which usually gets the ladies up dancing. I hit up the host for Hyde and he sets me up with a great patio table (best fountain view) for a 350 minimum. If you're having a night out, that's probably what you'll spend on drinks anyway, and the security will make sure you have girls at the table. Enjoy!

ghost bar definitely skews towards the older crowd.

Really good way to meet girls in Vegas imo is to gambolll with them. Go to that stupid $1 wheel thing (not roulette, I think it's called big spin or something) and mirror their bets, then cheer together. Hot girls always hang around that thing for some reason. Or sit at a shoe together for blackjack or play some craps together if you see a group of girls there.

good advice here.

Also, I don't like doing the club scene with high expectations of picking up girls, esp. if the guy is out of practice. If you guys are gonna go that route, go to the day beach clubs. It's way easier to talk to girls there imo where you don't have to scream for five minutes to get a sentence out.

Strip club obviously
