5 weeks to Vegas :D

[Cotter1]

Food
Grand Lux Cafe at Palazzo is top notch with a massive menu and great service. Well priced and don't need to book.

Now don't get me wrong i love a good old drunken stumble into Grand Lux as much as the next person but let's not go crazy. It's very average food but they are open all night, the portions are big and the service is quick. We are talking about someone's 60th birthday here, i appreciate not everyone is on an Alize budget but surely we can do better than a diner?

OP requested nice and not too expensive.
Defo more expensive places to eat and some are defo worth the money, but I think anyones Mum would love the Grand Lux.
Even if a 'better' place is found, still take your Mum here as well. Wood smoked pork chop, mash and brussells was a life saver for me this year, after eating rubbish for a week.

Best steak in Vegas is Flemings on Charlston.

I've been to Sen too, but preferred Naked. Only been once though so maybe I wasn't very hungry.

Hey all, heading to Vegas 5 weeks today and looking for some tips on shows, restaurants, poker comps etc...

I have a $500 a day budget. (Ive got £1.5k of English i still need to exchange if anyone has got dollars at spot?)

Airport

Tips about taxis to our hotel(harrahs) please. What do you ask for so they don't take the piss and roughly how much is it? (You gotta watch those taxi drivers )
Exactly what Simon Galloway said - taxi via Koval should be $18-$20 plus tip.

Hotel

Its my mothers 60th whilst there so any tips on blagging an upgrade to our rooms?
Try the old $20 slip trick when handing your passport over!  Be prepared to lose it though and not get the upgrade!


Shows

What shows to see? So far I've been told about the Legends show which is in our hotel. Any other must See's?

Grand Canyon. Worth the hit to do it via a chopper? Wheres best to book?

Jersey Boys would be great if she likes/liked Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons

Food

Nice not too expensive restaurant's to take my mum on her birthday. Nothing fancy just a good steak place or something along those lines.

Recommended places to eat:

- Grand Lux Cafe in either Venetian or Pallazzo (Pallazzo tends to be quieter)
 - Noodle Asia (next to Venetian cardroom)
 - Postrio in St Mark's Square in Venetian
 - Charlie Palmers at the Four Seasons Hotel (south of Mandalay Bay) - they have a cut of the week deal (3 courses and bottomless wine) for $48 per person, which is an absolute bargain and it's very very good.  Menu changes weekly - see http://www.charliepalmer.com/Properties/CPSteak/LasVegas/Menu/
  - Le Burger Brasserie (between Ballys and Paris indoors)
 - Earl of Sandwich in Miracle Mile Shops!

Excellent happy hours from 3pm Mon-Fri in Pallazzo shops at Table 10 and Double Helix

Poker

Wheres best to play? Decent deepstack tourneys around the $100 mark. Cheap cash games.

You can't beat the daily 1pm & 7pm comp at the Aria for that price range - $125 buy in, 10k in chips, 30 min levels, very soft

Any other tips?

Thanks in advance

Have a great time!  See notes above.
