Is it ambitious to get a return flight and 8/9 nights in a budget strip hotel for less than £1k? From my initial searches this seems to be the case booking for mid September. Thanks.

Hey where is best for a non club night out? Like bar decent size with a dance floor? And the age of people are 21-36 ish?

I've only been to señor frogs in treasure island last year and heading tomorrow and want to see where is best to go. Heard rockhouse in the Venetian is decent? Anywhere else?

Also, anywhere have 5 dollar blackjack or all at least 10s?

Cheers !


Fremont street east has a bunch of new bars/clubs that look quite decent, but wouldn't be for the bottle service ballers.

Plenty of lower stakes gaming on the FSE, too.

you're probably best off trying to find someone going home who will do it at spot - got to be better than the exchanges on the strip, surely?

Is there any merit in opening a US bank account if you plan to go annually?  I'm sure there's a post ITT on it somewhere but I can't find it.  Do you have to keep minimum a
mounts in there and does it cost to have an account over there?

I know during WSOP time Vegas is 'busy?'
Is there a time during the year when it's not busy, do restaurants/bars close?
What's it like in November?

As there's a lot of conventions in Vegas it's often busy most of the year
Our pub game went 4 novembers in a row a few years ago it's quieter but not dead by any means the weathers cooler and the pools are closed 31 st October ?
Mid Decembers busy as the rodeos in Vegas
January there's a gun show a porn show and the consumer electronics show so when the quiet months are I don't know

As stated, busy much of year, pretty much dependent on conventions, take a look on Vegas sites or search in google. I have been a few times in November, quieter after Halloween weekend and before Veterans day (midnov) from recall. Weather very changeable then. Will be 20 most days but can get as cold as 5 celcius.
A lot of pools will still be open but use can be restricted

I don't know if it has neen mentioned, but I played the Wynn daily comp yesterday and the poker room closes for good in 9 days.  It is my favourite room on the strip.

It is been replaced by a poker room/sportsbook at the Encore with loads of screens showing sports.  I haven't  seen the new room, so can't comment on if it is an improvement like they say.  I just think it is a sad loss. 

I also didn't know the Ferrari dealership has gone top.  Always liked the idea of winning the main and then balling it down to the Wynn to pick up a Ferrari.  Isn't ever happening now.

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

I always wondered how that dealership used to ever pay for itself in prime vegas real estate in 2011.  Amazing it lasted that long.

The poker room as it in the cash room or the poker room as in the floor where the mtts are during the series?  I assume you mean the cash room in the Wynn?
