Vegas recommendations?

Question

I am going to Las Vegas for the first time and would like to know from people who have been what are some "must do" shows or attractions and what should I avoid?

Answer 1

Here is a list of all the attractions in town http://www.vegas.com/attractions

The amount of shows are endless, you have celine dion or elton john in Caesars palace. David Copperfield in MGM Grand, Barry Manilow in Hilton, Toni Braxton in Flamingo. O from Cirque De Solei in Bellagio, Penn and Teller at the Rio, Lance Burton at the Monte Carlo, Tom Jones at the MGM, Beatles Love at the Mirage

it really depends on your age group of course. Personally I would recommend Big Elvis in Bills Gambling hall and Saloon at either 3pm or 5pm. The fantastic MacKing Comedian/Magician in Harrahs at 1pm and 3pm daily.

Star Trek the Experience in the Hilton, Stratosphere tower and high-octane rides.

of course make sure you do all the free stuff like fountains at Bellagio, Gardens and wildllife in Flamingo, volcano at mirage, Sirens of TI show in front of Treasure Island, lake of Dreams inside the Wynn, Circus acts every half hours in Circus Circus, Carnival in the Sky at the Rio and Fremont Street Experience light show starting at 6pm each evening in downtown las vegas.

Mix Bar at the top of TheHotel at Mandalay Bay, Voodoo Lounge at the top of the Rio Hotel, Dueling Pianos at the Bar at Times Square in New York New York and Light nightclub in Bellagio come highly highly recommended for this writer ;)

Avoid Coyote Ugly bar in New York New York and the buffets at Tropicana, Imperial Palace, Circus Circus or Excalibur at all costs.

Answer 2

i love vegas there is so much to do there. you should go to the stratosphere hotel and ride the roller coasters on top of the tower...and the view from up there is amazing. there is also a restaurant up there thats pretty good, but its a little pricey. Also go up to the top of the effiel tower at the paris hotel, again, another amazing view!! On a non-windy night stop by the bellagio fountains, its very pretty!! there is a show u should go see at newyork newyork hotel called zumantiy...it is great!! last time i went it was about $80 to see, but it was worth it. Avoid the people that come up to u in the hotels and try to offer u a tour...they are really timeshare people that will try to get u to buy a timeshare. Also beware of the people on the streets that pass out flyers for prostitutes. The venetian hotel has a very nice mall, but there are also outlet malls that are off of the strip. If u want to find a really good place to eat, u should try the Emeril restaurant at the MGM. U should try to visit as many hotels and casinos as u possibly can, because they all have different themes. There is a little mexican restaurant near the MGM hotel that sell 3 ft margaritas...they are yummy!! there is so much to do there, and a lot of sight seeing, if u just walk the strip u will definately find something to do!!!

Answer 3

I'll suggest places that are fun without making you feel like you have to be "trendy" . Harrah's outdoor bar(Local call it the Carnival)........good drinks and live music. Caesar's forum is an unexpected place to meet people, Margaritaville on the strip by the Flamingo Hilton is fun and has live music on Fridays or Saturdays and you can order food there too, off the strip you could go to Moose's Beach house across from UNLV and meet lots of coeds, Blondies in the Aladdin and the ESPN Zone are popular too.

Answer 4

DEF. go see the Paris Hotel, the inside is so beautiful with tons of things to do, and the whole hotel is set up like a little french town, cant explain it you'd have to be there to see it... but check it out...also, go to the Ceasears palace mall fourm there, SO sweet....


check out excalibur and theres a show called thunder from down under ;) you'll have to see it.

Answer 5

dont eat the deep fried twinkie.. or the deep fried oreo.. and especially not the deepfried hot dog.. anything from there really..
infact.. just skip freemont.
