Things to do in Vegas when I'm dead.


Recommended Posts

^Nah, we're doing it right. Trust me.

 

 

We're doing the sky walk at the Grand Canyon for sure. That was my main reason for going there.

 

She's been before and already warned me that I'll probably hate everyone there, but we usually make fun out of the worst places, so we should be fine. We also don't mind spending money on a good meal while we're there, so I'm sure there is SOME good places to eat --even if it's expensive.

 

I don't think any of you know how entertaining I can be when I'm surrounded by people I hate. It's part of my natural charm, so for her it's entertainment, for me it's therapeutic.

 

As for the "dry heat?" Yeah, we're going in August, so we know it's going to be brutal. We're planning on spending a lot of time by pools with booze. We never get to hang out by pools so we're psyched. The rest of the time will be spent in AC and forced oxygen.

yes bigdoughnut69, it is what it is and i don't like what it is

now that's not rocket science.

to me, if a tabloid was a city, it'd be vegas.

not my thing. hell, neither is LA or Atlanta, but we're not talking about those places.

 

Isn't the thread "Things to do in Vegas when I'm dead"

He aint going there to live. Cool, you hate Vegas. He/she still going there.

I love Vegas..., for 3 days and I'm done. Places to eat are all over the place.

Pool should be good just stay away from the tourist traps and you'll be fine.

So can anyone recommend some good spots to eat or things to do?

 

ok so booze and food.....

well first on the south end of the strip you have the vegas sign. and your trip wouldnt be complete without your flick. so go there.

ill try and go in order from south to north.

there is this bar inside the mandalay bay called minus 5. vegas can get hot as fuck. this whole bar is made out of ice. the floor, walls, seats, bar, drink luge,sculptures, your glass. its sick

also at the mandalay bay is the shark reef. i go with my nephew. every hotel has clubs and stuff. mandalay has the foundation room.

the luxor has cris angel and a little spot in it called cathouse. its whatever

the excalibur you could skip.

the trop is across the street and they have the titanic exhibit and bodies. which bodies is....well a bunch of dead preserved bodies from china. kinda cool, kinda fucked up.

new york new york has a cool rollercoaster and spot inside it called rok. ive only been there once and mix master mike was the dj. i liked it.

mgm is across the street and they have live lions inside. and some cirque de soleil show, ka. suppose to be good.

gameworks, coca-cola factory, and m&m world is next door to mgm. ummm i havent been there since i was a kid except a handful of times to catch a movie there but they have pool tables downstairs and a cheap ass bar.

monte carlo is across the street. they have jabawokeez or howerver the fuck they spell it. also my sister works at the pool there and its pretty fucking nice. mandalay also has a cupcakery in there.

next is cosmopolitan, aria, crystals, mandarin all that city center shit. fuck just smoke a blunt and walk around this place. todd english inside the city center has nickle beers from 9 to 11 on tuesday nights. they also do free shows in the lounge there. this place just fucking looks cool. and is the epitome of excess.

across the street is miracle mile. shops and free shows. also holly madison the playboy chick has her peep show there. not free. they have really fucking good gelato there too. second floor right when you come out of the elevator from the parking garage.

across the street is belaggio. they got the fountains and an art gallery inside. they have the worlds largest chocolate water fountain and every month they do this huge flower exhibit. its so fucking beautiful. smoke a blunt and look at art and eat chocolate.

next is....cesars palace. so this one is famous for hangover. whatever. they have a buddhist temple (wat) in there. amazing. made from gold and wood. no nails. it was a gift from the king of thailand. i really like it. also they have tons of clubs outside bars whatever.

ummmm across the street is also paris/ballys. you could go up the eiffel tower. there is a super good place to eat at the base called ahhh-sin or something like that. i skated the walkway for the ballys entrance before which was fun.

then is flamingo and bills gaming hall. flamingo has a sick pool. i dont really gamble but i love sports and pretty much you drink for free if you gamble. well, chill in a sports book. way comfy leather seats and you could sit chill watch a game and drink for free the whole time.

im smoking while im writing this so im starting to forget shit sooooooo.........

the pirate show at treasure island is free you can also get foot long like 5 dollar margaritas. the mirage has the secret garden, dolphin habitat, and white tigers.the stratosphere has a revolving restaurant, the big shot, a roller coaster that goes over the edge, and like a base jumping thing.

i personally like downtown and would recommend you go to these spots:

the artifice

the griffin

beauty bar

insert coins

the golden nugget(their pool has a shark tank above it with a slide through it)

 

STAY THE FUCK OUT OF LAKE MEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

shit is foul and no offense but we dont need anymore tourist polluting it.

 

if you wanna do outdoors i love redrock.

it has some of the best rock climbing. if you know your ropes and stuff from painting or whatever you can go rappelling off of the mountain:)<3. i love love love rappelling and would highly recommend people do this in their life. you can also ride horses. i like to go to calico basin. or you can go to bonnie springs and they have an old nevada.

 

 

also fremont street is not old vegas or the old strip.

the strip is and always has been the strip.

fremont street is fremont. and its downtown.

 

but besides that you can drink anywhere so if you wanna drink go to a lees liquor store find anything you love to drink for mad cheap and walk around and drink.

 

good spots to eat:

 

rincon criollo. cuban spot on las vegas blvd and park paseo. next to a tattoo shop, reggae store, porn shop and a wedding boutique.

m&ms soul food. on charleston and valley view. bomb.

pin kaow. on rainbow and lake mead. thai spot. this is the first one they opened. so fucking good i think they have 4 now.

komol. vegan vegetarian thai spot in the commercial shopping center off of sahara and joe w. brown. its also by the green door which is the world largest sex club. no judgment here. you do you.

and there are 100000000 more things but im officially stoned. sorry

i go to vegas often. i always have a good time but take it for what it is, if you get a suite at the Encore you WONT be disappointed and if you eat at the Wynn Buffet you will leave VERY happy and full. thats the best buffet in all of Vegas imo

go to Pinball hall of fame too, place is awesome. last two times i went to Vegas it was just to go there... DO NOT go to Insert Coin, fucking shit hole sad attempt at a "cool" arcade...

meet up with SMXXL, hell of a host... i got off strip dining too, pm me if you care...

Pinball Hall of Fame sounds good!

 

This definitely won't be a 12oz meet and greet type of trip. Sorry, but I'm not going to introduce my girl to someone as "a person I know from 12oz." No offense to anyone, I'm just not about 12oz Pow-Wow's like others.

 

 

 

Are there any good record shops in Vegas? I'm looking for soul, funk, 70's jazz, and hip hop.

Im a local..obviously-so i cant help tooooo much as far as nice places to eat.

I will tell ya a few things to confirm what everyone else says on here.

Stay away from lake mead-its like a big bowl of body soup-

People fallin in and not being rescued. Red rock is a yes.

Pinball hall of fame is a def yes ( took another 12 oz member to show me

Whats up) i think you're hotel choices are nice -Wynn- Encore-Bellagio.

I dont do clubs. You will want to strangle everyone in there.

Do the pool thing-i do it as a local. DEFINITELY do downtown!

It is so slept on .. So much good down there.

If your into the sex club thing..stay away from the POWEREXCHANGE!

super gay stuff in there. DO go to the Erotic Heritage Museum, just a few blocks

From Wynn. "YARD" drinks will only fill you with sugar and make

You piss All night. Go the bar and get a real drink. I dont get my feelings

Hurt if no one wants to meet up - happens all the time- people actually

Come to vegas for other things than a meet n greet. But ive enjoyed everyone ive met-

Jus sayin.

Check Las Vegas Weekly and Seven and Citylife (local publications that give weekly events

Food info and all that good stuff) as you get closer to coming out. Bring sunbloc and chapstick . Trust.

I can pass on my brothers number - he drives cab.

If i can think of anything else ill come back- orPM me if ya got specifics.

Have fun!

So this is record city.

Kind of a nondescript place. If you get to the sahara hotel casino which is on lvb(las vegas blvd) and sahara and now closed you are in the right area. Its also by the pamplemousse. A gourmet french room. Pink house. Vegas staple.

Its also by the commercial center, which has komol and green door. There is also an indian restaurant in there.

I ate there with my moms a while back:

If you get downtown eat at luv-its. Cash only

Homemade custard:)

Oakey and las vegas blvd. Behind olympic gardens a strip club. I know the chick in the ads. Latasha marzolla. I use to do muay thai with the same trainer.

 

 

Across the street is dinos the last neighborhood bar. Naked city sandwich shop use to be next door. They went under. Now its i <3 arapas. Or something like that. I ate there the other day when i got my oil changed.

I bet money that he knew some of the less holes the average Las Vegas. Local favorite spot, usually known outside of specifications Tera Items have some ideas. At least in my experience....

 

Wow, spammers are getting more and more articulate, and on topic.

 

They must be putting better proteins in their rice bowls.

Blue Martini for a laid back semi classy spot. On the strip but away from the casinos. Martini bar obviously.

 

O'sheas, Bills Gamblin Hall, Casino Royale - cheap gambling, casino bars.

 

You may want to spend a night fucking around in old Vegas on Fremont St. Take a taxi there.

 

Honestly just wander from casino to casino on the strip. All of em have various bars thru out the casino floor, sports bars, a lot have Irish pubs, and of course the clubs. (this is all within the hotel/casino)

 

 

Where you staying?

 

Spend the day at the pool and after sunset do the wandering.

 

 

Have a blast dude

 

 

boats knows wassup and luv its is dope like laughlast said

 

oh and im not 17 man...ill be 21 this month ahaha

Vegas is probably the last place i would want to vacation. I dont like speed, i hate the casino, and i could ride my bike to any one of 5 strip clubs in 10 minutes. But really earl. You take your girl on vacation to St. Maarten or the Bahamas. Ukno.... rum runners, white sand, snorkeling, reggae bars on the beach. I envision going on vacation to vegas with a girl and getting dragged to a bunch of shows im not interested in, 24 hour all you can eat buffets, and slot machines.

Townsquare is pretty chill, there is a place called Kabuki there, good sushi if you're down with that.

If you're interested in shows, mystere is dope, most of the shows on the strip are dope, except the Criss Angel bullshit.

 

I'd go see Chriss Angel if they'd give me a bag of DD batteries and a slingshot. I hate that dude with a passion.

 

My girl and I are big fans of sushi, so if you know the best spot for good sushi, let me know. Sushi and Mexican are my favorite foods.
