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

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




15 MINS? How fast do you drive LOL

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 Smiley

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.

Cheers
