I just want to thank all the contributors to this thread as it was so helpfull to me and probably to most others on their first Vegas Trip.

Personnaly I just got back from Vegas and all went well. I had the time of my life and its mostly because of threads like this!

Thanks again

Getting in in about 4 hours and will probably head to the Rio to sweat a buddy in the $1500 NLHE...anyone have any recommendation for a nice late night meal place?

In-N-Out Burger

Peppermill is 24 hours... was drunk and had some crazy 10 egg omelet there, pretty amazing.

peppermill is very good, but not close to Rio

Show up for the buffett and poker games on the 3rd, there will be groups leaving for clubbing, other activities, etc. I know I'm in charge of the RIO VooDoo Lounge VIP outing, so if you show up, you're more then welcomed.

Hancock premiers tomm, 6/2, I want to go. Anyone else? I'm thinking the 6-7pm showing or something like that. PM or respond here if interested, will post it's own thread as well.

Slots-A-Fun which is in front of Circus Circus has very cheap BJ. Maybe even 1$ (not sure).

But more improtantly, old school cheap shrimp cocktails and 1/4 pound hot dogs.

My brilliant plan to save $ by arriving on the 8th just gets so much sillier...

Bellagio cafe is by far the best of the 5 or so places i have tried. I usually eat a meal post-midnight every day and they have tons of good options compared to places that serve only a reduced menu

Not once. Terrace Pointe Cafe at the Wynn is the best. Clearly. Undoubtedly.

Ugh.

mmmmm french dip

I'm looking to stay a month in Vegas starting sometime in August. Is anybody who has a house there and needs another roommate? If there isn't anybody who needs a roommate, I'm looking for 3-4 other people and rent a semi-baller house for 3-4k, just for a month. If so, just PM me or hit me up on AIM= FATUBER

Does anyone know what date your cash has to be out of the safety deposit boxes at the rio by?

For those who rented a house in Vegas...where is the best place to look? I've googled around a little bit but am having trouble finding houses in the 3-4k a month range that you can rent month to month.

thanks for the help.

I don't know if it is the best place to look but give http://vrbo.com (Vacation Rentals By Owner) a try.

staying at Planet Hollywood w/a friend 7/8 - 7-14, but now my brother wants to come too, do they have rooms or suites that have 3 beds?

Just ask housekeeping for a cot after you check in.

Coming next week (just in time for the end of the WSOP, woo) and will have some time during the day to play cards (wife is with me so nights are out).

My go-to room is MGM because of the mostly fishy 1/2 NL play I've experienced over time.

I love the Wynn's room but in my lone experience there, *I* was the fish (I did win $70 tho)

Heard good things about P-Ho's new room ... where is the recommended daytime card room on the strip these days?

I am currently planning a trip to Vegas in mid August with my wife. Neither of us has much of a clue about Vegas, so I am hoping to get some help here. Our flights are fairly expensive, so we are hoping to keep the rest of the trip fairly cheap where possible while still enjoying ourselves. A few questions that I have:

(1) We are booking through a travel agent, and the hotels they are suggesting are The Mirage, The Signature at the MGM, Luxor, and Monte Carlo. They do have most of the other hotels, but these are the ones they suggested. We are leaning towards The Mirage at this point. Any big pros/cons to this decision, or suggestions for a much better hotel at a similar price?

(2) What is the approximate walking distance between the strip hotels, say from the Wynn to the Bellagio?

(3) We are thinking about taking in the Phantom show at the Venetian. Anybody have any good/bad reviews?

(4) We are looking at taking a tour to the Grand Canyon. Would like it to be in the <$150 range. Any suggestions?

(5) Are there any casinos with table games at $5 and under. Would probably like to play some Blackjack/Roulette, but hoping to avoid the $15 table minimum I faced on my trip to Montreal.

(6) Are there any decent daily/weekly tournaments with a good structure and a low buyin (~$100)?


I know that is a lot of questions, but as I said we are pretty clueless about this. Any and all help you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated.

there is more than one right answer to all these questions so don't rely just on what i say, i'm sure some others can chime in with suggestions as well.

The sig is by far the nicest outta those hotels, id expect it to more expensive than the others though.
