I have this belief that if I went to vegas for a mid-week trip, sun-wed, that things will be dead. I have absolutely nothing to base this on what so ever. Is there a significant drop in people and activity in the casinos and clubs Sun-weds compared with the weekends?

A few weeks ago I got a postcard for 3 days free at the Wynn in January. I don't have a card at any Wynn properties and have only been inside there to look around once about three years ago. Times must be rough.

Worst case, you can rent a set of clubs. If you're really lucky, you'll find a course that's doing a demo day. Club vendors and custom builders are there promoting their product and let you try it out.

I heard there is a place to rent and fire weapons near the strip. Does anyone knw of such a place? I'm also trying to look into other cool things to do, so I can come back and tell people I did more than just gamble in vegas.. Are there any other really neat and unique attractions that aren't such common knowledge?

Ehh, read the first 40 pages of this thread?

Machineguns for rent are covered, plus there are a couple places in the Yellow Pages you can look up when you get there.

kind of like a freefall ride... they strap you to a diagonal wire and zip you down... i think bav or someone mentioned it here, though i know a couple ppl who have done it irl it seems like it would be cool

Since nothing shows up on the search here or google i think i have the name wrong

How long are you going to be out there GW??

Take what I say with a grain of salt because I am just poor LLHE scum but from everything I have read Venetian or Bellagio is the place for you. Good NL Games and good tourneys as well.

Check out Allvegaspoker for complete listings on games and tourneys.
