Congrats on the freebie. Where are you staying? How long for? There are card rooms everywhere with all sorts of limits so you wont have a problme there. My fav card rooms are the Bellagio & MGM. The Mirage looks pretty good althugh i dint play there. Shows, there are allsorts m8 depends on what u want, check out a few vegas websites. Trips? Gotta do the helicopter to the canyon. Not cheap but superb. As for the rest of it, I wont live long enough to list it all !!! Title: Re: off to vegas soon.......... can you all give me advice?

Go to the Palms, and ogle the cocktail waitresses in PVC mini skirts and boots ... make sure you take pictures and post at least one on here. Hope this helps :) Title: Re: off to vegas soon.......... can you all give me advice?

Post by: ItsMrAlex2u on September 21, 2006, 09:17:14 PM I do have fond memories of Crazy Horse 2, a classy establishment in a seedy dark carpark behind the sahara !!
Title: Re: off to vegas soon.......... can you all give me advice? Post by: Rooky9 on September 21, 2006, 09:41:43 PM Nice one, never a doubt really!
I'd make sure u do the top of the stratosphere, visit all the hotels, make sure you go to downtown for a night - the golden Nugget has the best Chinnese ever, but watch out for the price of the cocktails! Also try and get yourself a Binnons t-shirt by winning a comp there! We didnt do the cannon but next time it will get done, by flight rather than bus though! Shopping there is the Fashion show mall which is opposite the Wynn and a little up the strip, that is pretty good, I think by far the best was Ceasars though. There are also a couple of discount mall things, one north and one south, neither set the world on fire but if you want some cheap levi's then you cant go wrong! Enjoy!

If you're after seeing some lapdancing I hear thetank knows a very reasonable place..... Title: Re: off to vegas soon.......... can you all give me advice? Post by: Harmony26 on September 21, 2006, 09:51:07 PM Congratz on your win!
You just have to do the Grand Canyon in a helicopter - then you understand the true meaning of "awesome". Enjoy your trip! Title: Re: off to vegas soon.......... can you all give me advice?

I heard there are no reasonable lap dance clubs in Vegas! ::) I did know someone who spend a massive amount in a 'strip club' make sure you arent too far gone if you go!

If you're after seeing some lapdancing I hear thetank knows a very reasonable place..... ;frustrated; ;booboo; Stay away from downtown for that sort of thing ::) Title: Re: off to vegas soon.......... can you all give me advice? Post by: 4dam on September 21, 2006, 10:51:12 PM So far i plan to do a helicopter ride of the canyon and white water raft the Colorado river.
Also to see the blueman group. And one or two other shows, One of the guys I'm with is insisting we go to the bunny ranch so there as well, And of course the stratosphere. So with the time left i plan to play as much poker as possible. If there is anything else you think i should do please recommend. Thanks 4dam Title: Re: off to vegas soon.......... can you all give me advice?

Post by: londonpokergirl on September 21, 2006, 11:12:41 PM make sure that you register for players club in all casinos so you can get a rating on your gambling when you're over there to get vip rates
Top of the rio is a fantastic nightclub on 52nd floor Shows, god they're all pretty good, also don't forget mandalay bay has normally got big bands on mos tof the time, see who is playing, i've seen guns n roses and tom jones whilst in vegas before, excellent Wynn is a tough cash game, I broke even most times I played there, although their $330 tournament is great at 12noon Red rock canyon is excellent, hire a jeep from your hotel reception, only 15mins from vegas, and go horse back riding in the canyon, absolutely spectacular when you want to get out of vegas being pokered out You also gotta do the rollercoaster on newyork new york, amazingly scary as hell Bars Coyote Ugly cheesey fun but great cocktails, Excalibur do some good frozen cocktails too go for a miami vice cocktail, bit gay name but fantastic, 7 of them you'll be fine :) Can't think of anything else, sure i've missed loads though , have an excellent time, missing the place like mad Title: Re: off to vegas soon.......... can you all give me advice? Post by: I KNOW IT on September 21, 2006, 11:15:07 PM Shopping: go to the Premium Outlets, its located close to downtown. Any taxi driver will take you there.
It has about 200 shops including a lot of designer names. Best place to buy your Oakleys from. These shops are literally 50% of what you would pay at the Fashion Mall or Ceasers Forum shops for same items. eg I bought a pair of shoes from the Timberland shop for $25, they were $90 at Timberland in the Fasion Mall Title: Re: off to vegas soon.......... can you all give me advice?

Post by: redsimon on September 22, 2006, 06:48:44 AM Best early tourny is Caesars Palace $80 +$50 rebuy for 4500 chips 40 minute clock. As long as you adjust to structure after rebuys end (25/50 50/100 in rebuys then 100/200/25a after break) it can be good value. The 7pm is same structure but bgger buy in so not so great.
Most card rooms run NLHE cash can't remember seeing any PLHE on strip. Try Mandalay bay and MGM. Most of all enjoy :) Title: Re: off to vegas soon.......... can you all give me advice?

Post by: Simon Galloway2 on September 22, 2006, 11:21:21 AM I'm off to vegas soon (a freebie for winning the league at gala casino Leeds). And i would like some advice on. What the table limits are for cash games? Don't want to playing less then 5/10 Believe it or not that narrows it down considerably. Mirage, Venetian, Bellagio, Wynn are the best at those levels Where i can find no limit and pot limit cash hold-em and Omaha games? You won't find any PL - you may see a $100/$200 PLO game in Bellagio! NL everywhere. What shows to see? Cirque de Soleil do some mind blowing shows. O at Bellagio, Mystere at TI, Ka at MGM, not cheap but the best. What trips to do? By the time you get there, you will feel like you have travelled enough. Grand Canyon - sure, Red Rock yeah ok, etc etc. What night clubs to go cut some shapes at? Depends how hard core you want. Voodoo Lounge at top of Rio, Ghost bar at top of Palms are good fun. Where to go on the pull? No idea. But there are no shortage of hen parties everywhere, I am sure you will trip over something before too long... Where to eat? Don't commit the ultimate crime of eating in McD's /BK etc. The general cafes/buffets are ok, but for a few $$ more you can eat in some tremendous steak houses and "Ramsay equivalent" places - all for the cost of a bad call on the turn card. Where to go shopping? Premium Outlet mall on Grand Central Parkway for designer bargains. Ceasars has the top end if you dont like your money. You get the idea. and anything else you can think off.
