Las Vegas in 2 weeks.. Suggestions?

TheMalcolmConnection · 04-26-2009, 02:32 PM

OK, my wife and I have exhausted ourselves looking at stuff online about "can't miss" things and we only have 6 days. Basically the GUARANTEED things we're doing are limo tour of all of Vegas with open bar, the Hoover Dam and O by Cirque du Soleil.

We were considering an adult show but Zoomanity didn't get great reviews and neither did Bite. What are some other can't miss things we should do AND where are the best beer prices?

yeah, get laid

Have you ever seen Cirque De Soleil. I have gone to 2 shows, both were amazing.

Nice. Which ones did you go see?

CRedskinsRule · 04-26-2009, 03:46 PM

The first one was in Vegas, and really had no clue what it was, just went. The second, in Baltimore, was Koomba, I believe. Not sure of the names, I just would recommend Cirque De Soleil to anyone and everyone. Have you seen them before?

TheMalcolmConnection · 04-26-2009, 03:47 PM

Neither of us have. O apparently is the best on in Vegas, so I think that's what we're going to see...

Check the V Variety show. It was very entertaining.

You will be amazed by the Cirque de Soleil show, I guarantee it.

Its been some time sense I have been to Vegas but I had won a three day trip through work. Was having so much fun we decided to extend our trip another 2 or 3 days.

You probably can't go wrong with Cirque du Soleil. We didn't go to any shows when we were out there but next time we definitely will.

mredskins · 04-27-2009, 11:23 AM

Bring good walking shoes! Seriously you will be walking a lot.

My wife and I had a good time but I don't see us rushing back anytime soon. To me if you are not big into gambling, it just ok. I would rather go to say SF, a city with history and culture, to me Vegas is just a giant mall if you will.

With that said if you have never been you should go to experience it. Six days is a lot of time in Vegas, we where pretty much done after 3 days. Do see the Grand Canyon it is the best sight there and still shows that man could never out do God. God still has the show the strip, the Grand Canyon.

You must stay on the strip! Especially if its your first time there! MGM Grand has good rooms and very comfortable beds for relatively cheap. Bellagio has the best restuarants.............or so I've heard anyway. I couldn't afford to eat there. For cheap good food I would recomend New York New York. And yes, ride the Manhattan Express! You got too! And if you like shopping Ceasars is pretty good for that.

If you're a poker player MGM Grand and Ceasars have some real good poker rooms. I hear Ceasars is the best actually. And I think I heard the Mirage was good too...............Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was the Mirage.

Last but not least...............six days is to long! Unless you have ALOT of money to spend. A few years ago I went there for seven days and I spent a fortune. So if I were you I would knock the trip down to three or four days. Trust me!

Enjoy your trip!

MTK · 04-27-2009, 11:44 AM

One of the best buffets is at the Mirage I thought. Though you really can't go wrong at any of them.

mredskins · 04-27-2009, 02:22 PM

Miller101 has good advice!

Eat at In and Out Burger as well, they are good.
