Las Vegas

[patrick0685]

If you're really not looking to spend a bunch of dough on a place you're only gonna sleep @, there's always Fremont st. It's only about a 5min ride on the gold line to get to the strip and there's plenty of fun to be had in old LV too.

ETA: if you're taking the lady you may want to stay in one of the nicer, newer hotels.

Ya im taking the wife for her first trip to Vegas so I wanna make sure she has a good time

I do have some experience in this genre. I'll send you a pm with my phone number give me a call. I'll go over the $20 trick which has worked for me EVERY single time I've tried it. I can show you how to get a super cheap room using Hotwire or Priceline and you'll know the hotel before you buy. Also have a contact there who will buy your show tickets for you using his discount and you'll save 30-60% off retail and you won't have to waste 3 hours standing on the 1/2 price line. You can pick up the American Casino Guide from their web site for $15 and you'll have hundreds of $$ in coupons to use. Check craigslist as locals often dump their extras there.

Just travel South on I-25 to Las Vegas, New Mexico. You'll most likely save yourself a LOT of money and it will be a much more peaceful/quiet place!

We go about 4 or 5 times a year.
We try to stay in a differnt place everytime

As stated your not living in the room so don't over indulge in one.
As for fun we like places that the locals go to.
And we have been comped at some.
Any where you go ask the desk for a discount package, they don't advertise them but they almost all have them.
Go to 1 of the show stands on the strip and purchase your show tickets.

And NO MATTER WHAT WHEN APPROACHED BY THOSE OBNOXIOUS PEOPLE IN SUITS IN THE LOBBY'S OFFERING FREE SHOWS DO NOT STOP, DO NOT ACCEPT YOU WILL LOSE A WHOLE DAY AT A SALES PRESENTATION.

And you can shoot full auto weapons at a couple places, we go to American Shooters.

You can rent a Harley if you have a license and take the wife for a ride in the desert.

I've stayed at the Bellagio, Caesars, MGM, and the Excalibur. Just pick one, and enjoy your time! They are all great. A must do it to get out the city limits there and go to the gun range (The Las Vegas Gun Store over on Eastside). This is a place where you can rent full auto and have a literal blast.... Kinda expensive, but was worth every penny. Man, I miss my college days, lol.

Skip Vegas. Go to Reno and stay at Circus-Circus. Cheaper and better returns.

The luxor is awesome, also, I really enjoyed the excalibur, it was fun and their medieval show was fun too.

MGM for your hotel. Location is great and that pool is amazing!!! Think they have 7 pools and a lazy river that is like the Amazon. Gets pretty wild there at night- not for kids.
Machine gun shoot is cool but $$$. I'd do the NASCAR drive- 170 mph. You can also jump off the Statosphere- insane, I won't do it.

Rio and Aria have best buffet. Think $40 ayce crab legs at Aria- love those.

Booze is ridiculous out there. Not a lot of free anything anymore. It was $8 for a rum/coke!!! Picked up a cheap cooler, packed it with ice, and hit the liquor store- drank in the room and then had a huge mug of rum/coke for the pool. Frozen booze was $20 poolside at the MGM...damn!

Man I won't go with you, cause you don't know how to work the Strip.
I get premium drinks for free or a buck. Mandalay Bay has the best pool.
And we go to the liqour store across the street from Mandalay Bay or the One by Stratospher buy your own bottle dirt cheap cause there is NO tax.
We also usually get comped for alot of stuff, just ask.
I have a voucher for the Winn at this moment Free standard room, and 100.00 upgrade to suite.
You can score coupons for the automatic weapons shoot and it will cost you half price, just ask.
Right now Excalibur is offering standard rooms for as low as 29.00
MGM owns most of the propertiea around them like the Excalibur etc. look it up.
Go to Vegas .com for some good deals.
And go to the website of the hotel you want to stay at for better deals than just calling.

so you get most of your comps by just asking, asking a manger or the people...who?
