Suggestions for Vegas trip

MikeMamba · 04-17-2014, 07:18 PM

This is the first time I'm going to Las Vegas as a 21yr old.

My cousins and I already got a suite and we are all splitting it so I'm not worried about that, its for 3 days. It has a kitchen so we plan on making food in the hotel when we can so we don't have to spend much money on food.

Anyway, how much should I take to spend? I probably won't gamble much. Maybe just on the first day and I'd be up to spend $100 only but thats it. I don't really care about gambling.

In terms of clubs, bars, drinking etc. What do you guys recommend?

I'm planning on it, I just don't want to blow all my money haha...

Yeah and pics are actually def. going to happen. We are bringing along a couple go pros lol.

Firerunner4 · 04-17-2014, 07:31 PM

Just don't show any wives/girlfriends or employers haha, have a good time!

ssbledsoe · 04-17-2014, 07:59 PM

The food is the second biggest draw for me to Vegas. Gambling first.
Drinking-wise, I usually have as many "free" drinks I an get my hands on gambling, and then sustain the buzz with booze at whatever restaurant.
Clubs? Dunno. I'm too old for that scene.
So, in summary, I'm absolutely no help for you whatsoever.

Ah really, what suggestions for food do you have? We might go out and eat on the last day, but I'm not sure.

We might bring our own drinks and pre drink in the room before heading out lol

Not sure if thats a good idea.

What is a "Go Pro?"

If you are employed I suggest staying off of social media.

Have fun! Do all the rides on top of the Stratosphere...including the jump!

rudyjustinfarrell · 04-17-2014, 08:06 PM

If you are gambling, even if it's just slots, you will get free drinks. So no need to buy/bring your own. Now if you want to hit the town and go clubbing? Then yeah... I'd have a cocktail before I got charged up the wazoo for club drinks.

Take the time to go see old Vegas. I've seen at least one of the food items on the Best of Cheap Eats type shows. You can google "urban spoon las vegas" and see what they have to say.

Athey49 · 04-17-2014, 08:17 PM

I always enjoy getting a big mixed drink at Fat Tuesdays and walking the strip.

ILOVEBEER · 04-17-2014, 08:23 PM

Harrahs has a great outdoor bar that is just off the strip. Always had a good time there. Plus all the tail wander over because it is outside. Pretty affordable to drink there as well.

huskerman47 · 04-17-2014, 08:35 PM

If concerned about money you may wanna cancel lol just let loose and have a blast!

Hawksmack · 04-17-2014, 08:38 PM

Strip clubs and buffets. And if you gamble stay away from the slots. Walk up to the craps table lay down $100 bucks and throw it on the field. Then take $200 and walk away.

Not sure if being sarcastic but GoPros are cameras lol

I am employed, and trust me. People have been fired over social media stuff at this "company". Lets just say, they are very PG.

What is the jump? I have actually been wanting to go sky-diving, and found a place near my house for $200.

Into the club scene? Check out Haze nightclub, Moon nightclub, or Hakkasan nightclub.
Last few times I've been we did a party bus which was about $75 a person, you start at 1 nightclub and a party bus will take you around town to 3/4 clubs that night. Pretty fun if it's you're first time.
Also off roading is pretty fun if you're trying to find something to do other than gambling.

For a strip club go to sapphire or spearmint rhino, trust me

Really, even if its just penny slots?

haha

I will keep that in mind. I will do some research on the stuff you suggested. Thanks!

I'm not that concerned, but I am in college and don't want to max out my credit card, will probably just take cash and leave the debit card at home.

Holy #@#@#@#@, that sounds awesome. Do you know the company of the party bus?

*writes down strip club names on phone* Okay, got it lol

robchik04 · 04-17-2014, 09:20 PM

If you want to do it semi big, bottle service at Sapphire might be fun. It's cheaper than the regular club and you get a little show.

How much are we talking, my cousins might be up for it. They have more to spend, I can just tag along

dbrown · 04-17-2014, 09:34 PM

I ordered the tix from this site VIP Club Crawl - Las Vegas Hotels, Shows, Restaurants, and Things to Do | LasVegas.com

They go to different clubs different nights so see what clubs they go to all the nights you're in town to see which night is best for you.

Just fair warning, drink prices are ridiculous at these clubs. $10 for a beer & $15/20 for a shot. They give you a beer/drink on party bus in between stops so just load up on the bus before heading in lol.

dbrown · 04-17-2014, 09:35 PM

There's obviously other party buses/limos out there, this was just the one that worked best for us when we went

cyberpvnk · 04-17-2014, 09:37 PM

Definitely hit some strip clubs if you're a single guy in college.

I really enjoyed Mandalay Bay's water area, and they also have a nudity allowed bar/club but it costs to get in. Talk to your concierge before going somewhere, many times you can avoid big waits just by having them call and tossing them a tip.

Wear comfortable shoes or rent a pack of rascals like this one group I saw. It was about 7-10 college guys and they were all hammered and had rented rascals and drove everywhere...bridges, bus stops, etc. Baskets were filled with booze.

Pregaming in the room isn't a bad idea, nor is filling up your glasses and walking the strip.

The Burger Bar at Mandalay is a great cheap meal, we went like 3 times.

Serendipity at Caesars was also really good.

I would have to agree with the strip club suggestions

ClipsSkins916 · 04-17-2014, 09:46 PM

Yeah I'd gamble a little just to drink but when we went for my friends bachelor party we went to a big strip club.

It's suppose to be the 2nd biggest strip club in the US. Forgot the name though.

Clubs are everywhere so you shouldn't have a problem finding one you guys prefer.

Definitely pre-game in the room before going out to the clubs or strip clubs though.
