I'd hold off on making any finalized plans until, say, March. But Caesars is probably the hotel right in your range with a killer pool and great location.

Or Flamingo, or Ballys/Paris

Last place I saw it was at Bill's and it is going to be difficult to get a table there this trip.

Venetian and Palazzo, they offer it at the no-commission tables they have.

We're thinking maybe $100 per night?? If this isn't possible then just say as I have no idea about prices!

If this isn't the right place to ask then let me know,

Thanks

Hotel Review Thread is right next door. You've got plenty of time to peruse.

My Russian friends have tasked me with finding the best all nude strip club. What should I recommend to them? I haven't been to a strip club in a while and never in Vegas so outside of an internet search I'm not sure what to tell them.

There are a number of all-nude clubs, Palomino is just the only one that serves liquor.

I'd suggest Little Darlings.

Anybody familiar with the small plates at the Mandarin Bar? Could 2 people split 4 or 5 of their small plates dishes and be full?

I've been to both and would choose Little Darlings as well. Can anyone really afford drinks at strips clubs anyway?

Has anybody had any trouble getting into Wet Republic lately? I'm going this Saturday and don't know if I should buy the tickets in advance. Also does MGM give any discounts for its guests?

I went with a group of guys about 2 weeks ago(july 6) when tiesto was there. we had no trouble getting in around noon. not too bad of a line either. Buying tickets in advance is the way to go though, its cheaper. MGM does not give any discounts to guests

We are 5 guys on vacation going out tonight. Gonna get bottle-service and we like hiphop (no deal-breaker if they don`t play hiphop). Where should we go?

edit: Chateau maybe?

If someone also can give us an estimate of general tips these guys should receive that would be great.

Eclipse pool club at Mandalay Bay was pretty good a few weeks ago when I went on a Wed night. There was about 5k ppl there. They were playing EDM music though.

In all reality you need to tip for your image, level of service, happiness, and probably drunkenness.

Question on the neighborhood between the strip and the Thomas and Mack arena. I was going to take a cab over there at the start of the NBA Summer League games tomorrow to sweat my action, because I think the temp will be too high. I don't mind walking in the upper 90s after the games, just wanting to make sure the neighborhood isn't too bad.

the "neighborhood" along Tropicana Ave. between the strip and the T&M is OK as there really isn't a neighborhood - just McCarran Airport on one side and empty lots/some strip malls on the other side. Not a high crime area as far as I know.

I've walked to and from the strip to Tuscany along Flamingo a number of times. Typical vegas shenanigans, nothing scary though.

I would not hesitate at all during the day. Or even at like 9PM... but its not a walk i would want to make in the dead of night. esp if i had a lot of money on me. You can cut through elara and PH, incidentally. But youre only skipping over the least shady part of the walk. The bad part is between paradise and the enterence to the sig.

TBH if i were walking it, to get to the strip i would go up paradise to flamingo.... but if youre aria bound, its kind of out of your way.

I have also done this walk from the Flamingo to Tuscany and all the way to the International gaming institute in the Stan Fulton building (Flamingo nr Swenson). I never had an issue. BTW the 202 bus runs up and down Flamingo and it is fine to take should you want to avoid walking.

this would work, as my poker room of choice is V, and that gets almost to V. so, you think this route would be safe at night? Paradise to Flamingo? thanks again!
