Hitting Vegas in a few weeks....anyone have any tips on best places to see,eat etc
ALL OF IT !!!! ;) its amazing man. An adults disney land !!!
I was there in May and had a good enough time. Its the type of place to go with the boys and leave the wives and girlfriends at home. Three nights is enough in the place unless you love to gamble. I would recommend you take a trip to the Grand Canyon, it is about a four hour drive and along the way stop at the Hoover Dam for a look. If you have time stay at the Grand Canyon for a night and watch the Sunrise and sunsets as they are supposed to be amazing. I did not have time to do this unfortunately. I went to two shows the Blue Man Show at the Venetian which was disappointing but the Cirque De Soliel (spelling) "O" show at the Bellagio is worth the money, just amazing. If you are a drinker it can get expensive to drink in the big hotels but there are alot of watering hole along the strip where you can gamble and drink relatively cheaply. The Old Las Vegas is worth a visit also but some of the older casinos are very run down.
If you are putting a few quid in the machines, just tip the waitress well and you'll get plenty of cheap drink all night instead of the $6.50 per bottle ye pay at the bars. Fountain show at the Bellagio at night is worth a video, and the hoover dam. Theres that new walkway over the canyon too - looks great
try and get into as many of the hotels as ye can for a nosey...too much stuff to see......and don't burn yourself out in the first 2 nights!
Did i not hear they built a wal around it?
For north and south to keep them out?
When gambling on the tables,the drink is free. No doubt you pay for it when you loose gambling, but it has to be done. Be careful not to fall into the same trap as I did.....while drinking bottles of Bud, whenever half the bottle had barely gone, the waitress landed over with a new beer. Now they don't allow you to have more than one bottle on the table at a time, so you naturally throw the remaining half of the bottle into you, give the empty to the waitress and take the new 'free' bottle. 5 minutes later, exact same thing, and all of a sudden after an hour or so, you're well on your way to being plastered....and being drunk and gambling don't go hand in hand, you suddenly think your 'Cool Hand Luke'....enough said.
As for sights, check out the light show at Freemont Street, the older part of vegas. Checkout the Forum shops beneath Caesar's Palace, nice ambience. The casino's are the main attraction, just amazing to walk around. The wealth is unreal, plush is an understatement. Helicopter flight from Vegas over the Grand Canyon is unreal, but costly, approx. $300. The only reason I did it was because I won a few quid the night before and decided to spend it on something memorable rather than loosing it again.
Spend a half day walking around the hotels - absolutely amazing. Bellagio was the one for me - spent 4 nights there in a suite over looking the lake. If i lived to be a thousand, i could not stay in a better hotel room or hotel !
Hit the black jack tables and be prepared to lose a few hundred
Shop in the shopping centre in the basement of Caesars Palace (and bring an empty suit case) - an incredible place. If the Mrs is with you then keep her away from the shops in the Bellagio - unless you win big in the Casinos !!
Do the Grand Canyon by helicopter
Contrary to another opinion, wasn't that impressed by Cirque Soleil in the Bellagio
Don't bother with the revolving restaurant on top of the highest building in Vegas - not great but around €150-€180 for dinner for 2
You have to check a nightclub out as well - was in one in the Venetian - wow, the talent !
And be prepared for around 10 mils of walking per day. Just to get accross the road from the Bellagio to the Parisian seemed to involve about an hour of a walk.
You jammy cnut >:(
Enjoy ;)

Blast, which Cirque Soliel did you see, they have about 5 different shows and from what I have been told by people that have seen a few other Cirque shows "O" is the best.
The hotels are huge, stayed at the Bellagio myself, sounds like a similar room over looking the lake as well. Best hotel I have ever been in and that including the Travellers Friend in Castlebar ;D ;D
Bring a good pair of walking shoes as you will find yourself wandering. Bring water with you where ever you go as you will get dehydrated very quickly in the desert climate.
Check out freemont street, the water show at the bellagio at night, the rollercoaster at new york new york, 9 fine irishmen at the new york new york, and what ever you do, dont buy tickets for ANY nightclub from a taxi driver - even if they are VIP tickets. If you are offered these tickets, they more than likely not be valid for the night that the f**king taxi man is driving you to the nightclub. :-[
If you are going to gamble, play poker - its one of the few games where you have most of the control over your money.
Or, come to Reno, and do it all for a fraction of the cost. ;)
Do they still have an Irish Society in Reno? I played a gaelic match there in the late 70's/ early 80's (the brain is gone!) and had a great time. With the high altitude you could kick a ball a mile.
Have fun Frank ! :o
If your visit is a short one and you wish to see the Canyon I'd recommend getting the helicopter trip. I think its about $200 or maybe a little more. You're picked up from your hotel beforehand and dropped back afterwards. The Chopper touchs down in the Canyon for 30 min or so where ye get a picnic and champagne. You should be dropped back to your hotel about 5 hrs after pickup which to me is single biggest advantage as you'll wipe out a full day if you get the bus etc.
Get the rollercoaster at NY NY.
Went to Love, the Beatles Cirque du Soleil, great show in the Mirage.
If you're goin with the bird then go for a meal at:
http://www.stratospherehotel.com/topworld.html (http://www.stratospherehotel.com/topworld.html)
ye have to check out the palms, unreal, went to the moon nightclub on the top of it some view of the city, and it and the playboy club (sight to behold!!) are 1 so admission gets you into both!speak to the concierge in the hotel tell them you are looking free passes for it and want on the guest list thats the important part!!
If you are staying for longer than a few days, I would heartily recommend staying overnight down on the Canyon Floor, in a sort of ranch which is among the Havasupai Indians. It is absolutely beautiul down there, and you can go white water rafting on the Colorado river down there, as well as bathing in the beautiful Havasupai Falls on the Canyon floor as well. You can either hike down or get a chopper, but be aware (so you don't kick up a fuss about it), the Havasupai Indians get preferance in the helicoptor slots, as they use it for commuting out of the canyon.
Havasupai Falls, or Havasu Falls
(http://www.fwhphotographer.com/HavasuFalls3bg.jpg)
(http://www.photoseek.com/99AZ-07-21-Havasu-Falls.jpg)
It's beautiful.
As for Vegas, well you'll have a ball, Freemont Street, New York New York, the Forums at Ceasars Palace, the Bellagio (especially the water show at night), Treasure Island, The Venetian, Paris Paris but you definitely should get out of town to see Lake Mead, the Hoover Dam (do the tour, but not if you are claustraphobic), and the Canyon. Even if you don't go into it, Grand Canyon is the one place I have ever been that is truly Awe-Inspiring when you first see it, and as has been mentioned the Sunrise and Sunset there are spectacular. I lived in Arizona for 4 years, and every single visitor, including repeat visits, wanted to go to the Canyon, and I never ever got tired of it. I must have been there 10 - 15 times.

Thanks for all the tips lads...cant wait to get away...not taking the woman a few lads from home are coming to stay in NY with me for 10 days so we going to Vegas for 4 days
Have any of yous heard of the bunny ranch ;)
Yes, they take Visa. Heres a link to the one closest to me, the mustang ranch.
PROBABLY NOT SAFE FOR WORK.

Then ill delete it. I thought it was just the website for the bunny ranch.
Is the bunny ranch as good as everyone says it is? what sort of money you talking?
Its all good. Its something different thats for sure. We just had a couple of drinks in the mustang ranch, so I couldnt tell you how much the actual services are.

If you want to see Vegas at night, go to the top of the Stratosphere Hotel. And if you are brave enough take a go on the big shot, altough I hear they now have a contraption that shoots you off the side-----knees get weak thinking of the dizzing height :o
www.stratospherehotel.com
go to attractions
Insanity and Extreme
I went on the big shot it's class. On the topic of some of the previous posts, Crazy Horse Too, up near the Stratosphere is worth a look as well ;) (It's a club though, not a brothel),

If you are going with the lads it will be fine, not a place for a romantic get away. The hotel is about 3 miles from the new strip where the Bellagio, Caesars Palace and the Venitan etc are located but there are plenty of taxi's to get you about. I see from a previous post you are travelling with a bunch of lads so you will have a great time no matter what part of Vegas you are in.
FL/MAYO - I took the wife to the resturaunt at the top of the stratosphere - she thought it was very romantic!
Across the street from the stratosphere is a place called the new frontier hotel/casino. One of the smaller ones on the strip. They have bikini bull riding however.
Also if you happen to end up in a place called the red rooster - wear verucca socks.
Thanks FL i intend 2! which hotel would be the best to play poker in or is there much difference?
If you want to maybe see some of the big name poker players, hit the bellagio or the rio. In terms of prices (I dont know your bankroll) they are all pretty similar in that they offer big games and smaller games.
If you want to play limit look for something thats 4/8$ blinds. Anything less will have too many tourists in the game that want to play every hand.
If you want to play a no limit game Id suggest buying into a 1/2$ blind no limit game with about 200$ chips. Just wait for a monster of a hand and you could easily walk away with 500/600$.
Poker rooms that arent that nice include the NEW ORLEANS AND FITZGERALDS.
Heres a good link.
http://www.allvegaspoker.com/ (http://www.allvegaspoker.com/)
Youll find a link to all the rooms, what games the offer, what limits they offer and what daily tournaments they run. The tournaments are alot of fun, and once you buy in, you cant lose any more money. With cash games you can lose whatever you have on the table.
***** Dont forget to ask the pit boss of the room if there is a "dealer add on" at the table, before you buy into your tournament. In this instance youll be offered the opportunity to increase your chip stack before the tournament for X$. The number can range from 5$ to 200$. To win the tournament you will need those extra chips, just make sure they are available for a price you are willing to pay - before you pay for your tournament fee.
Cheers puckoon..Ive played poker at casinos before just not Vegas..usually play 5/5 no limit cash games, can get a bit rough :'(
What part of the states do you live?
No problem. I live in Reno, Nevada - but I spent 6 months in vegas last year.
Cash games get very rough - but can be very profitable if you have the patience.
Infact - Im off to a tournament now.
GOOD LUCK....don't for get these 8)
:o :o Reno that would be sum spot to live. was thinking of moving 2 the west coast for couple of years once get sick of NY
Surprised nobody has mentioned Mandeley Bay (THE Hotel ).We saw Mamma Mia there - serious hotel with a 24 Sports betting room with more big screens than I have ever seen.Great bars/restaurants/shops I wasn't there on a Sunday but would be surprised if they didn't have a GAA screen. The Venetian is also amazing - agree with the advice to see a number of them- we didn't make the Bellagio.
The canyon is well worth a visit- we had planned to fly but left one passport in LA (where we were staying) and they wouldn't let us on - we had to take the bus which was fine- the Skywalk thing cost $100 for 4 of us and they don't allow cameras on as they said people were throwing things off at the start.
If you are bad/mad , Barry Manilow is still on .Elton John was coming around now but tickets will be hard to get.

Puckoon seems to be the man to talk to about the gambling in Vegas but there seems all types of gambling spots to suit everyones needs.
what'd be a good budget to take down there if I was going for 3 nights?
not much of a gambler - slots and roulette mainly
Gab,
You could eat once a day in any of the buffets for 20$
Drinking is free while you gamble, with a tip for the waitress
Nightclub prices start around 20$, but you can pay up to 50$ on weekends
Cabs are expensive, as its sparse and the traffic can suck and thus run up the tab.
Without gambling, going out to bars and paying for drinks, and just trying to fit 2 or 3 activities a day - you could easily run though 100$ a day. Just bring your bank card.
I'm planning on bringing money - and leaving the card at home - the temptation might be too much
If you dont gamble much, or get lucky once 150$ a day is decent. But you can lose 20$ on a penny slot machine or a 5$ roulette table in an instant. Dont be calling me to come get you, its 8 hours of the most boring drive in the world.
It's a stag weekend - so there'll be plenty of us to help each other out
These are the guys we used.

Guys - heading to Vegas end of Sept for 4/5 days with the missus - flights booked but no hotel - any tips where to stay - somewhere on the strip.... and not too expensive but something she'll like (you know what the birds are like - they love clean rooms that look good)!! Is that stratosphere hotel the place to go for dinner to make her happy for a night!
I like playing 21, roulette etc don't know if I'll chance texas holdem..
Also can you give tips on where to book shows trips etc
Cheers in advance
I'm for Vegas in Oct for the wedding anniversary! Any recommended websites to book tickets for shows? Any I've looked at have fairly hefty booking fees! Cheers
We pre booked a couple before the last time, then when we were there we noticed the discounted prices on the day at the Tix Tonight booths.
Back in September so will probably leave it to then to book this time.
Anyone watched any GAA over in Vegas?
We arrive the Saturday before the AI Final so will be up early to watch it the next day. I think Ri Ra in Luxor will be showing it but any other options?
Possibly 9 Fine Irishmen in NYNY - I recall there being premiership football on in there so it's a possibility.
I'm there on 13th Sep myself (in Mandalay Bay).

Topgolf driving range can be fun even for a non-golfer - drinks at your booth etc. I think there's also a floor with a pool. It's at the back of MGM at the airport end of the strip.
There's a golf course out the back of the Wynn hotel - we had a really nice lunch out on the terrace (it's a dressed-up kind of place but it was lovely).
The Hoover Dam is really boring so don't make a separate trip out of it.
Hoover Dam is a must imo. Loved it.
Im actually staying in the MGM and seen that topgolf facility on hotel website so hopefully get up to it. Also seen the Shadow Creek Golf Course in Las Vegas where tiger played phil for a million bucks online...just a cool $500 to play it if your staying in the MGM with limo transfer...anyone wanna caddy?? ::)

I must have missed something. We stopped because we were driving past, but if I'd gone out of my way to see it, I'd have been disappointed. Glen Canyon dam in Az much better for seeing a dam up close.
In Vegas right now 95 degrees today will be very hot in a few weeks ,at Mandalay Bay great for kids with all the pools

I'm the type who could spend all day watching Extreme Engineering or How it's Made,plus I found it fascinating to see how they generate the Electricity.I thought the generator room was pretty fecking sexy to be honest! ;D
Said to Mr Rois this eve about it, and he did say that it would probably be more interesting for people who liked engineering. We were not those people.
Gmac, how are you enjoying MB? I admit to being disappointed by the pool because when we got there in a day 1 it was early eve and there were empty plastic glasses and bottles littered through the Lazy River. Hopefully better experience for you.
I've been there 3 times now and my favourite hotel was Trump :-[
It's very busy but clean more families here than single people ,the main thing in Vegas is bring a fat wallet and be prepared to spend/lose it all.
4/5 days will go in a flash.
Few things are must do in my opinion having been there 6 times.
Shooting guns on a range
You could fly to the canyon/rim (I know it isnt the proper one) in a half day trip or if you dont want to do a half day you can fly over the strip at night.
See the Bellagio fountains
See the volcano show at the Mirage
Do the rides on top of the stratosphere
Take in a show - loads of options

Steak/ribs/wings/curries all at 9am :o
Good to see we can still afford nice trips. With us in the grip of uncertainty due to Brexit and with the economy so bad!
In terms of spending/money on such trips what do you find works best?? only so much cash you really wanna take with you on long trips...travellers cheques easily cashed in hotels/casinos??? debit cards at atm's have fee's im guessing,the rate for sterling to dollars is crap also. what about a post office type money card,top it up and use it when u can and have additional cash for tipping/gambling etc??
I signed up to N26 (https://n26.com/en-eu/) (similar to Revolut) recently for a trip to Australia. Perfect. Didn't handle cash once for the whole trip. You get 5 free cash withdrawals per month if you must.

There was, but I can't remember what it was and it wasn't major. I didn't know about the stuff Shark refers to. I just remember that, when comparing the two, N26 had something slightly preferable, but I could easily have gone for either.

I signed up to N26 (https://n26.com/en-eu/) (similar to Revolut) recently for a trip to Australia. Perfect. Didn't handle cash once for the whole trip. You get 5 free cash withdrawals per month if you must.

They are much of a muchness. Getting the spot rate on FX is great.
