Answer 1

I too love Las Vegas. My husband and I go once a year for three days and just get wrecked! We eat too much and drink too much. I don't know any secrets but am excited to see what others write about. Oh! I know one, at the hard rock hotel you can order the shimp dinner for only 7.99 but its not on their menu!

Answer 2

I went to The Venetian to see Blue Man-Great Show! The V is sick inside. I mean It's Huge! The ballroom's hallway alone is like an aircraft hanger.

I stayed at The Orleans. It's huge inside too.

But here's the real deal......

Vegas was waaay better in the old days when I first started going there, 1981-1992 or so. It is too crazy now and waaay more expensive for everything. Also, all that glitz on the strip with expensive LCD screen signs and not a single drinking fountain. Oh well. If it's hot out, bring a bottle of water.

Answer 3

Transvestites hang out at Zingers and Las Vegas Lounge; just East of the LV BLVD on Sahara.

Sam's Town Hotel/Casino has a Bowling Alley and Theater inside it along with all the other standard casino features.

Police recently began operation PIMP (Prostitutes Incarcerated by Metro Police). They are also going through all the Escort ads in a sting against them. So be warned, stay away from this activity or you'll be in cuffs for sure.

Answer 4

My husband and I go there every year at least twice, sometimes three times for a week each time. Main Street Station downtown has a fabulous place to eat called The Pullman Grill and it has an actual pullman car in the restaurant. Gorgeous place with all sorts of neat antiques.

Red Rock Canyon is just minutes from the strip and a wonderful place to see if you like nature. Wild burros and wild horses are a cool site to see there, or in Blue Diamond.

Lots and lots of other things to do in Las Vegas ...good food, free drinks, and lots of people!

Answer 5

nicely, all the resorts you have chosen are particularly on the factor of eachother and are on the south end of the strip, possibly via fact of this you chosen them. MGM Grand is taken under consideration one of my well known resorts, I actually love that hotel. The rooms have been dazzling and soft, and maximum severely (to me) the rooms did no longer smell like smoke. The pool is spectacular, the eating places are large. I certainly have not at all relatively seen any celebrities there different than for Kurt Thomas and that i assuming he became into in Vegas via fact he became into traded the day in the previous :) it is the the final stop on the monorail on the south end and immediately connects you to something of the strip. long island long island has an incredible casino. i like each thing concerning to the floor floor. I certainly have heard the rooms have a tendency to be smaller at this hotel. Mandalay Bay is spectacular. between the Southern maximum strip resorts with mini monorail connecting to Luxor and Excalibur. The hotel in its entirety is spectacular. solid pool. Luxor supplies me vertigo, i visit probable not at all stay there. however the golf equipment are solid. LAX is usual for celeb sitings. it is likewise possible to make certain Carrot precise on any given day! : ) My %.: MGM grand!

Answer 10

Sandy’s Vegas Guide

Things to remember:
1.Drinks are free when you’re gambling. Sitting at a bar and playing a few dollars in a poker machine will get you a free drink. Sitting at a machine in the casino will get you the same. Tipping the waitress or bartender a dollar or two will keep her coming back. If you walk up to the bar and order drinks, you’re going to pay lots more, even for soda or bottled water.
2.Player’s Cards: Before you begin gambling, get a player’s card. Most places offer sign up deals (a coffee cup, a free meal, assorted coupons). If you get a card where you’re staying and you use it while you’re gambling, you can “save” the points and use then toward your room when you check out. Some casinos will combine accounts for married couples, some don’t. I always get a card in my name and ask for a second card. I play with one and my husband plays with the other. That way all the points are going to one card, and accumulate faster. Plus … you’ll get offers in the mail for your next trip!
3.Beware of time-share people! As you walk through the hotels and along the strip, you’ll be approached by people who want to give you free show tickets, free tours, free meals, etc. These are time-share sales people. They promise freebies in exchange for an hour of your time. I warn everyone about this but some people just don’t listen. A friend of mine decided an hour of her time was worth giving up in exchange for a show. So her and her husband accepted, were put on a bus and taken to a “presentation” and weren’t bought back for SIX hours. Their only escape would have been to take a cab back to the strip but that would have been expensive and they wouldn’t have gotten their “free” show tickets. The best way to get these people to lose interest in you and move on to the next person is to say, “Thanks, but we’re leaving tonight.”
4.Free Pulls: Some of the casinos offer “free pulls” on a special slot machine as you walk in the door. There are usually no strings attached, you pull the lever and win something. Usually it’s a key ring or a hat; sometimes it’s a free buffet. Sometimes it’s a coupon for a “fun book” (a book of coupons for that casino). To get the fun book, you can be sure you’re going to have to walk to a far, far corner in the casino. They want to get you WAY inside.
5.$40 for $20: Some casinos offer $40 in slot play for $20. What they don’t tell you is that it’s on a bank of “special” machines, and you can’t cash out for cash. Instead, you play the $40 and then choose a prize based on the credits. So before you hand over your $20, take a look at the prizes being offered. If there’s something in there that’s worth paying $20 for – have fun. If not, keep walking.
6.Valet: If you’re going to be renting a car while you’re there, valet parking is the way to go. For a $2 tip, you can park at a hotel or casino and visit the nearby hotels and casinos.
7.Bus: If you use the busses that run up and down the strip, put your wallet in your front pocket. Vegas is the favorite vacation spot for pick-pocketers, too.
8.Cabs: Cabs are more expensive than a bus, but faster and less waiting. Almost all hotels have a cab line outside one of their doors, a line of cabs waiting for the next fare. A hotel employee will whistle for the next cab in line when you ask for a cab.


Things to see (and most are FREE!):
1.The Freemont Street Experience: Every night there is a light and music show that stretches for blocks. It’s an amazing thing to see … and it’s FREE. Freemont Street is in downtown Vegas, you’ll need to take a cab if you don’t have a car. The street is blocked off from traffic and you can stand in the street and look up and watch the show. (Another place to keep a close check on your wallet.) There’s a different show every 30 minutes, beginning at 8:00 or 8:30 PM. Show times and pictures can be seen at: http://www.vegasexperience.com/ Be sure to check out the video! Freemont Street also has performers and kiosks all along it. Lots to see and worth a trip. Downtown used to be nasty and scary, but they’ve cleaned it up and it’s clean and safe now. Just don’t wander too far off Freemont on any of the side streets. You probably wouldn’t want to anyway, most of the action is right on Freemont.
2.The Fountains at Bellagio: Don’t miss this! It’s a 900-foot long row of fountains that “dance” to music. The songs change, and it’s awesome to see. More info at: http://www.vegas.com/attractions/on_the_strip/bellagiofountains.html While you’re there, go inside and check out the conservatory. Very impressive!
3.Caesars Forum Shops: If you feel like strolling through Rome, check out the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace. This is also where the talking statues live. More info on the shops and a link to info on the talking statues at: http://www.vegas.com/shopping/forumshops.html
4.The Canal at the Venetian: This is pretty amazing and a MUST see. You feel like you’re in Italy as you stroll along the canal and visit the shops. You can even take a gondola ride. Check out the Canal Shoppes at: http://www.venetian.com/shoppe/index.cfm and get information on the gondolas at: http://www.vegas.com/attractions/on_the_strip/gondola.html?f=m0at&t=stripat
5.The Volcano, The Tigers and The Aquarium at The Mirage: If you go up the moving walkway and through the front door at the Mirage, you’ll see the white tiger. Pretty cool to see. Head through the foliage to the front lobby and check out the wall behind the check-in desk. It’s a HUGE salt-water aquarium. In front of the hotel there is a huge waterfall that turns into an erupting volcano (loud, bright, and hot!) at night. A trip to Vegas without seeing the volcano erupt just wouldn’t be a trip to Vegas. http://www.themirage.com/
6.The Wildlife Habitat at The Flamingo: An outdoor habitat located within the Flamingo. You can see the live flamingos (still haven’t figured out how to kidnap one) plus lots of other birds, fish, and turtles. http://www.vegas.com/attractions/on_the_strip/wildlifehabitat.html
7.Masquerade Village at The Rio: Masquerade Village is inside the casino at the Mirage. There is a parade in the sky with music and dancing and lights that’s pretty cool to see. This is located off the strip, too far to walk, but there is a free shuttle that goes from Harrah’s to Rio and back. More info and a video at: http://www.harrahs.com/our_casinos/rlv/entertainment/entertainment_detail_07.html
8.The Eiffel Tower at Paris: You can take a trip to the top of the Eiffel Tower. http://www.vegas.com/attractions/on_the_strip/eiffeltower.html?f=m0at&t=stripat
