earl broclo ESQ Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 ^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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdoughnut69 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earl broclo ESQ Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHATEU Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 yea im not either man. i only met one vegas person and made the right choice based upon a few conversations with said member. i dont meet and greet you know that. im to angry and dont party enough for most anyone on this board. but yo the pin hall has over 150 machines. from OLD to the brand new Rolling Stones by Stern. plus about 30-50 classic stand-ups too...

SMdoubleXL Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 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!

laughslast Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 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: Ma's entree My entree. Panang chicken curry. 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. Passion fruit juice and empanada with bean and cheese. Dude also made me an egg one. Not on the menu but bomb.

COSMOGRAMMA Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 sounds like a jahb for SMDUBINSKY. sure she'll pop in later. isn't vulcan from out there too? yeah man...i rarley post here anymore. earl only thing i can think of is vegasstreats depending on if youll be here on the second saturday of any given month that youre coming out. other than that, ima broke ass dude tryin to make some money so i only eat double cheeseburgers from mcdonalds and shit. there is this pretty good pizza place though on freemont street called uncle joes cheap and tasty. have fun while youre out here and watch out for crackheads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COSMOGRAMMA Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcs Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 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.

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.
