Default Las Vegas!!!

I turn 21 in a few weeks, and a few buddies and I are flying out to Vegas June 3rd until the 7th. The 3 of us our staying in a 1700 sq foot suite at the Tropicana, thanks to a friend's grandpa.

So what are things I MUST do/see in Vegas?

I highly doubt he'll learn to count cards by the time he goes to Vegas. It's not like it's easy to do otherwise tons of people would be doing it. And it's not illegal, it's just frowned upon. Like masturbating on an airplane.

All depends on what you like to do. If you like clubs, then you have tons of choices. Just be prepared cause it will be hot by then. Summer is kind of Vegas's off season cause of the heat, but I'm sure there will still be plenty of hot chicks with hardly anything on roaming about. Nothings like being able to walk out of a casino with drink in hand, walk down the street and it being prefectly legal. Play a little blackjack while you're there.

Luxor. the old-school vegas strip, the one with the classic "welcome to vegas" sign. i would recommend the sands too, but they tore that down. the flamingo is still up though. (it's either the flamingo or the tropicana, i can't remember which) it's right across from the Luxor, next to a gas station. also, go see the new york skyline.


basically, go see the whole damn strip. it's all worth it. i was stationed in Fort irwin, california. i was about 200 miles away from Las Vegas. \

My already rich bosses went to Vegas and won $8,000 in a casino. I don't know how much they spent to win that, though.

I know that isn't really contributing, so I'll stay the **** out of your thread.

Planet Hollywood has a great thing at night. I think its calle dthe Love pit.... But the dealers are all women and they all wear Lingerie. Plus they have 4 wear the same that dance on poles.... it is awesome! Also a cool outside Bar right behind the Harrahs called Carnival Court. They have a cool bartending show they have a world champ or something and they do some cool stuff with fire and the drinks are not to expensive. That one will be a night thing. Also check out the ICE BAR it was freaking Sweet!

I played black jack at the Luxor, where I stayed for 4 days, took all my winnings directly to the strip club. I also had my friend from Nellis bring a couple 30 packs so we could have beer while we walked around. **** spending 8 bucks on a bottle of bud light!

Luxor isnt on the old strip. Fremont St. is the old strip and has good local feel to it.

Olympic Gardens. Nuff Said.

You should also take in Fremont St. at night for the mega-jumbotron show. I'd also pop into the http://www.thegunstorelasvegas.com/ for a chance to fire a full auto gun if you've never had the opportunity before.

Walk in to the casino and drop 20 on black at the roulette table before you do anything else. Win or lose, it's an omen for your whole stay.

Everything sounds good. We have tickets to a Sunday pool party called Rehab at Hard Rock too, which sounds awesome.

All of this is from my friend's grandpa, who took care of all of this for us. He recently died 3 weeks ago.

Fridays nights they do "midnight madness" at LVMS Dragstrip...it gets pretty wild.

Buffet at the Belaggio, is the greatest.

having just made a trip to vegas, I absolutely insist you do bottle/table service at a club. The best experience you will having going out. We did 2 bottles + a table at the moon club in the palms, and the coolest night ever. Two gorgeous ladies pouring you drinks all night, and making sure you have everything you need to have a great *** time. Plus we had VIP access (AKA no lines) to all the palms clubs.
I am actually going back and doing it again in april.

Bottle service at the strip club is even better than at a regular club.....$250 at the "SCORE" gets you a big bottle of Greygoose, a hot personal bartender and admission upstairs to the VIP area....

well worth it....

I would treat it like any other vacation, except I would allow at least a grand for gambling of your choice, Just enjoy yourself and don't get carried away at a casino. Odds from getting rich at vegas are pretty low.. If that's your intentions. I personally would buy into a low stakes texas hold'em game somewhere. Just to see if I'm as good as I think I am...

I've been there nine times but was always undereage....bullshit I know. But idk drink, gamble, and check out the best strip clubs in the world. Then when done take a drive and check out the Hoover dam and grand canyon. I was always just dropped off and circus circus all day and spend hundreds on video games. Have fun man I can't wait to go after I turn 21. Was gonna go this may but decided on a cruise to the bahamas instead.

On a side now rain man basically bankrupted a casino and he was a ritard. Lol

if you think that LV stripclubs are lame.....your doing something wrong.

lame is sitting at a table for hours, next to a chain smoker from OKC, losing a bunch of cash and downing watered down "free" drinks...


hoover dam is a cool trip.....

breakfast at the ommellete house.

If you are going to Rehab for a pool party you are on the right track and don't need our help! I went to vegas for my bachelor party and we were going to get a cabana at Rehab, but it was like $1,500 or something like that. We ended up getting a cabana at the Paris pool for like $600 and it was WELL worth it. I guess what I'm trying to say is if you like Rehab and want to do the cabana thing again it might be worth looking into your hotels pool....especially if it's a busy pool, which most are in the summer. I've been there many times with my friends and everytime I came home feeling like I got ran over by semi-truck.

Out of all the times I've been there I've never spent more than $100 gambling....I don't really care for it and there is so much other **** to do.

Also be prepared for it to be ******* HOT! I went one time in August and everytime I walked outside it was like the heat bitch slapped me. ha ha
