Re: NWR - VEGAS

Go to Joe's Stone Crabs at the Forum Shops at Ceasers for dinner.

Walk the strip and go to each hotel.

Bring shorts....we went last month and it was in the 80s.

Skip downtown...it costs a ton to get down there and the laser show is all of 4 minutes. Unless you want to gamble with better odds. But the casinos down there smell!

Check out the Wynn Hotel. It opened a few days ago and its suppose to be AMAZING!

Check out the Fountains at Bellagio..

Skip Celine and go see O at Bellagio

Have fun!

Re: NWR - VEGAS

The Bellagio is my favorite hotel...probably because my FH proposed there. I definitely recommend dinner at Picasso-the food is really good and you get a great view of the fountains. The Venetian is beautiful too. Definitely check out all of the beautiful shops there.

Re: NWR - VEGAS

Go to the top of the Eiffel Tower at the Paris, the view is spectacular!

The Sharks at Mandalay Bay were really cool..kinda out of the way and a little pricey though!

Hit up Gameworks across from the NY/NY. It has a bunch of things to do... and a nice candy store! Plus there is an oldfashioned coke fountain in it.

There is a great Italian restaurant in NY/NY called Il Fornaio.. not too pricey and great food.

Hit the Shops (Desert Passage in the Alladin and The Forum Shops at Cesars)


Clip all coupons! They are worth it! And try to see one show atleast! There are so many there!

I went in March--we loved the Madame Toussaud's wax museum, and I heard the show Ka at the MGM Grand is amazing!

Re: NWR - VEGAS

I'LL BE THERE WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY! LOL! SIXTH TIME GOING!

-If you're a Rat Pack freak (like I am) go see the Rat Pack tribute show at the Greek Isles.

-Skip the food in the Bellagio (wasn't a fan), and eat at the Paris Buffet - OMG! The macaroons to die for!

-Don't bother w/MGM - no theme in it what so ever. I expected a huge Wizard of Oz or something, got nothing.

-Need a break? Go to Circus Circus and the amuzement park in there - fun! They have mini-golf in there too!

-Definitely take a Gondolla ride at the Venetian - but I like the inside one instead of the outside one.

-Definitely eat at FAT BURGER...best burger I ever had in my life!

-Go see the light show in Downtown Vegas. But, watch out for the cockroaches!

-Partying: Rum Jungle (Mandalay Bay), Voodoo Lounge (Rio), Light (Bellagio)

-If you get a chance, go drive outside of the city, and look at the Red Rock's Mountains, Wild Horses, Dessert Attractions.

I think I need to hire you as a tour guide when (if) I ever go- I have never been and FH says he hates it.


One of my friends just got back and she also mentioned the buffet at Paris- and the water show. Have fun!

Re: NWR - VEGAS

If you have time to cacth a show I suggest "O" atthe belligio it was amazing and "MYStreare" at the "Treasure Island" hotel is nice.

And if you like to Party which is why I go to Vegas some of the HOT Clubs is "RA" in The Luxor Hotel and the club in the Belligio I forgot the name of it though I think it is called Paris and definately "RAIN" at the Palms and the Sky Bar at the PALMS amazing both spots great for PARTYING.

HAVE FUN

I loved the Rum Jungle at Mandalay Bay, and you have to try and see one of the Cirque du Soleil shows (O, Ka, or Mystere). They are awsome!!!!

Drinking is essentially free in Vegas - it's free if you're gaming on the tables/slots. Go to Ellis Island - they sell top shelf liquors and all beers for $1.50 for eVERYTHING!

Re: NWR - VEGAS

We are eloping and leaving May 31st. Getting married at the Flamingo next to the waterfalls. Then going for an indoor gondola ride at the venitian before having dinner at postrio. I went about 7yrs. ago and spent most of the time by myself walking the strip. Had a blast. The mall at Ceasars is unbelievable, the show out in front of Treasure Island with the pirate ships was cool at night(that's where we're staying). Splash was a good show, going to see Mystere this time. We are also going to Emerils New Orleans Fish House in MGM, and Olives which I heard is great by the fountains. Also check out the Mardi Gras Carnivale in the sky at the Rio I thought it was great when I was there and looking forward to going back. Have a great time and please give details when you come back. Safe Trip
