A trip to Vegas...

[edro]

The most fun I had was just the experience of being there...drunk...with my friends, walking around from casino to casino.

There is just something special about walking through a mall, shopping for stuff... all while holding a beer in your hand

eat. You can find many buffets or steak dinners for $6. mmm and watching my buddy try to eat the foot and a half long 2 inch wide hot dog was excellent as well. There are lots of free shows as well, look for those if trying to save a few $$. Vegas is truly made for turists, so have a good time.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Anyone else have anything to contribute?

Cirque de Soliel (sp?) is expensive, but worth every penny. There are a couple of different shows. We saw "O", which is in/above a giant pool. It's at the Bellagio. There are cool shops at Caeser's Palace and the Bellagio also (Armani, Gucci, etc.). Those are cool.

Going first weekend of August....So the Blue Man Group is a good show? I like their music so thought I see the show. Does anyone have more info on the 1/2 price tickets? since I dont want to spend a fortune on shows!

The shark reef is fun Also make sure to visit the animal exhibit at the mirage, called something like Siegfried and Roy's Secret Garden (or something), it's tons of fun. Check out the dolphins!

Going to Vegas with a group of friends(guys and gals) in 2 weeks. Anyone who's been there wanna suggest things to do? So far we're going to the shark reef, the club in Luxor, and the free shows(pirate show outside of Treasure Island, and the water show at the Bellagio). We'll also just walk the strip and then gamble some... What else?

Buy the tickets in Vegas. There is a shop by name half price tickets or something like that. They sell all the tickets for exactly half the price.

Blue man group show in Luxor. Dont miss it.
Worlds greatest magic show in Greek Isles is cool.

Not sure about Ka or Cirque de solil.

Where is the half price tickets shop?

THe half price ticket shop... not sure what exactly it's called, but it's in or right next to the "Big Coca-Cola Bottle", which is on the East side of the strip... It's roughly across from Monte Carlo.

If you like seafood, check out the Rio seafood buffet on Friday/Saturday, all you can eat lobsters = teh yummy.

Probably pretty expensive? We were also told the buffet at the Aladdin(our hotel) is really really good.

last year it was $34.99 plus there's unlimited oysters and crawfish and sashimi (no rice to fill you up!)

The Alladdin buffet is around 27 bucks for dinner. For a few dollars more there is a Todai in the 'desert passage' shops, attached to the aladdin.

Blue Man Group at Luxor (around 80 a ticket); awesome show.

Tournament of Kings at the Excalibur if eating with your hands and medieval theme is your thing; just like Medieval Times chain.

Shark reef at Mandalay Bay; sharks rule.

Car show at Imperial Palace; very nice collection of autos

Fountains at the Bellagio

The shopping area in the Venetian.

And of course the casinos.

Most of this stuff is already mentioned but these are things I've done and enjoyed. On my way out there again in 3 weeks. Can't wait.

I'm going to be out there July 24-29 - staying at The Venetian. I can't wait!

i think we just bought the tickets at the luxor earlier that day iirc. the seats were in the back quarter of the theatre and were like $60 to $70 bucks each (thats the reason it was the only show we saw)

we did check the half price tix store on the strip but they did not have anything for good shows that we wanted to see.

It's not pirates vs. pirates anymore, it's pirates vs. slutty chicks in a pop music production.
