In answer to your question OB...the thing to not do in Vegas is log on to S2

That should have been a given too. Lol

I dislike Fremont Always felt way more sketch than the main strip.

They messed it up when they covered it!

 

[Da Bears Oregon]

Since you are in the area, take your wife for a nice dinner at Hugo’s Cellar at 4 Queens. Great place.

Sometimes you have to embrace the sketch

and then you start itching

I'm going to Vegas in a month. Just for a couple days, but I'm working a wine event, and then have a couple nights to go have some fun.

Always nice to travel on someone else's dime. Even if it is Vegas (I don't love it).

I like the Golden Nugget.

The bands are great on Fremont Street.

Listen to Spandex Nation. Fun band.

Got me. I liked it too. Casino and buffet kinda sucked but fremont is mardi gras of the west.

Didnt see spandex nation but did see a bunch of good music. Good band doing a great david bowie fame rendition i posted on fb live if your lucky enough to be my friend on there. Lol

Ill post a few pics i think are cool, when i get home.

There is a mob museum you might check out.

Thought about it yesterday but chilled in the hotel casino instead.

Highly recommend the Brilliant show at the Neon Museum.

My wifes family bought tickets to this and said it was awsome. When we tried to get some it was sold out.

Don't take Taxis. Uber is so much better.

Cost us $56 for the taxi to the hotel cUse we didnt have uber set up yet.
THen spent $70 total for all uber rides including back to the airport and down to baristas hole in the wall restuarant.
Was incredibly impressed. Uber all the way!

Sometimes you have to embrace the sketch. I go into a casino in downtown and instantly feel better about my life decisions.

Pffft. Sketch. That wasnt that sketch and wasnt that hip hop. And im more hip hop than...wayne newton, so i fit in anywhere!!!

Hard core man. You dont like a little fun?

They messed it up when they covered it!

I loved it. Thought it was bad ass. What else you gonna look at anyhow? Hotel towers?

Sorry, I'm used to a more VIP crowd

 

[MARIS61]

Do not arrive with 28 bags and cases, bringing them into your upper floor corner room 4-5 at a time, over a few days...

Stayed at The Flamingo on a surprise birthday trip courtesy of my wife, they bumped us up to an elegant suite as a present. Staff was great, saw a good comedian. It was January, which is apparently when all the big stars take a vacation. Walked most of the strip, checked out most of the hotels

The only downer was Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville.

Flat-out horrible food and a crummy rock band.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Heading there this weekend, staying at the Palms. Gonna see how the new rennovations are.

 

[tlongII]

I just got back Monday night. Stayed at Park MGM and was very impressed. Monte Carlo was a dump, but they've done a nice job renovating and adding new stuff. The Eataly area is cool, they have a good Korean restaurant, and On The Record is a very nice club in there. I spent most of my time in the sports book and bar though. It's not as big as some of the other hotels on the strip, but it suits my style.

I wanna check out the Korean joint (Best Friend by Roy Choi). May not eat there though, just get a neon hat or some shit.

Most was under construction but I could walk through last time I was there.

I had spicy pork there right after I checked in. I couldn't find an empty bar stool in any bar at the hotel and I finally caught somebody leaving the bar at Best Friend and snagged the seat. I was not disappointed.

Roy Choi is the man, he started the whole Korean Taco craze with the Kogi Truck. He doesn't shy away from bold flavors.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Taxes and Resort fees are out of control btw. Holy fucking shit, it says like 150 a night for a room, then for 2 nights its all of the sudden, $500.

 

[tlongII]

I got round trip airfare and the room for 4 nights for $780, then you pay the resort fee when you get there. Not bad imo.

I love traditional Korean food. It's just so hard to find in Portland. e.g. Doenjang jjigae made with clams not beef and the right amount of jalapenos, of course along with the other ingredients.

So im heading out to Vegas but won't be there long enough to do all the things we want to do and i know there is alot.
So instead of asking folks what to do, i thought we could make a list of things not worht the time or mkney or both.

Now before we get carried away,

There are a few obvious items that need not be mentioned since im with my wife.

So things NOT to do:

brothels are out.
Any half nude or lingerie type show thing is out.
Meeting up with @bodyman5000 and 1 .
(I kid, if i didnt have the wife and had more time...)


Anyhow. What are some other red flags to steer clear of?

No brothels, no naked girls? Count me out.

My image of you has been destroyed.

Ever been to the M down south? @bodyman5000 and 1

Someone told me its not bad for those that get bored with all the drunks on the strip. I heard they have looser slots and what not?
