You going?

Hey everyone, going for my 21st this weekend and was wondering if anyone had any resources for getting me on the guest list for this weekend?

Hi all, I’ve done some googling and wanted to ask you all.

I’m going to come out for a week for and spend a week there in my en femme personality. ~ December time frame.

looking for advice on where i should go or any advice from people more experienced than me in this. Any spaces/bars that would be good. any weekly kink positive events?

sorry if not allowed. looking for some advice.

I will be traveling for a concert at the T-Mobile Arena the weekend before Christmas. It will be myself and my 15-year-old so I would prioritize safety and decent dining options.

I already spent an arm on the tickets and a leg on the flights so I’m hoping to find a moderately priced hotel.

I’ve done quite a bit of research but there are so many different opinions on the same hotels and there are so many options that it’s making my head spin.

I know Palazzo/Venetian and Wynn are some top tier top options but they are pricey ($800-1000) and pretty far from the Arena.

Park MGM and MGM Grand ($450-600) are very close and are priced a little better and are both decent options.

What I really want to know is if Harrah’s, Excalibur, Flamingo, Paris ($100-270) are decent enough or if it would be worth it to pay 2-3x more for one of the MGM options.

Got Metallica tickets tonight and worried I will not make it now. Anyone know what’s going on with air traffic control?

I’ll be visiting Vegas for the first time and wanted to ask how much I should tip the costumed characters, showgirls, superheroes, etc., if I want to take photos with them.

I understand they can’t legally demand a specific price, but what would be considered a reasonable and polite tip? I’ve seen videos of some of them quoting rates like “$60 and $60,” which seems way too expensive for some quick photos.

Would $10 - $15 be a reasonable amount, or is that considered too little?

My daughter is turning 21 and we are traveling to Las Vegas and staying at planet Hollywood is the one willing to go and decorate our room with balloons. I’m looking to spend under $300.

Looking for recommendations for timing on going to Wtnn buffet.

Trying to decide between going at 3 versus around 1.

My worries about 1: dinner items wont be fully put out yet. I saw somewhere someone said the better dinner items come out later but not sure if speculation or not.

My worries about 3: not peak meal time so items may be left out longer/not as fresh. Still kinda early in the day so maybe full dinner course isnt out yet.

Happy to hear any experiences or thoughts. Thanks.

I’ve been living in Vegas for five years, and today I went to a casino to kill some time. While I was there, I noticed that someone had left $1.50 in an abandoned machine, so I cashed out the voucher.
After that, I walked around and started noticing that a lot of people leave money behind in machines — sometimes 50 cents, sometimes more, sometimes less. Just for fun, I got a little carried away and started collecting the vouchers. In total, I ended up with around $5 and some change.
Then a casino security guard approached me and told me not to do it again. However, he didn’t take the vouchers away from me or tell me to leave the casino.
So here’s my question: why does it matter to them who ends up with these vouchers? Or does the casino collect them itself and keep the money?
I’m genuinely curious about how this works and what the actual rules are.

hiii i’m iso olivia rodrigo tix for las vegas on December 19th or 20th!!

Hi! I've looked through this thread to see if I can get some ideas, but I'm honestly still undecided.

My girl friends and I are headed to Vegas to celebrate my birthday next month. I have Saturday plans laid out. I'm just deciding on dinner for Friday. Options suggested to me are Carbone, Papi Steak, Komodo, Mizumi, Mother Wolf, and Carver Steak. Any thoughts on Friday night? We prefer to stay on the strip.

Also, are there any other fun experiences besides clubbing and shows we should do? Thinking of having us go to the spa on Saturday morning.

Thanks!

Hi everyone, will be in vegas next week for about 4 days. It will be my second time there and bringing approx 2-3k for the days to play with. I was thinking of playing at palms, el cortez, and maybe fontainbleau for future comps (staying at cosmo this time). Not really a high roller but looking to have a good time and make the money last abit longer hence choosing the palms and el cortez as everyone recommends those. If anyone would like to share any other good casinos or casinos where you've been lucky please drop them. Thanks!!

Era da anni che non tornavo a Las Vegas ed è la prima volta che ci sono andato con solo amici: giovedì, venerdì e sabato a fine settembre.

3 giorni fantastici: pool party super (uno al marquee e uno a omnia day club). Omnia night club ogni sera perfetto.

Musica, ragazze, poco gioco e un bar fantastico sulla strip per il pre serata con musica dal vivo. Mai viste tante belle ragazze tutte insieme in una piscina.

Informandomi su reddit sembrava tutto uno schifo, una truffa continua dietro ogni angolo. Reddit é sempre così, pieno di esagerati frustrati che cercano di boicottare il prossimo.

Viva Las Vegas

My family and I are taking my dad to Vegas for his 50th birthday soon. What he doesn’t know, is 6 of his closest friends will be joining us shortly after we all arrive. My mom, sister, aunt, myself and dad arrive roughly around 1pm. His friends will arrive to the hotel around 6pm. My mom and aunt are planning to check into the hotel on arrival and set up birthday decorations in one of the suites at Caesar’s palace and my sister and I are responsible for keeping my dad occupied for the 5 hour duration until all his friends get there (they’re all on the same flight). My mom was pretty specific “DO NOT LET HIM STAY IN THE HOTEL AREA.”

Looking for ideas on what to do for a few hours that would be either within walking distance or even an uber ride away. My dad is kind of a big nerd. He loves Sci-Fi and things like Star Trek, computers (vintage and modern) and history as well as outdoorsy activities. He’s not really big into gambling and I’m already planning on brining him to the Atomic Museum the day after we arrive so we have ample time to spend there.

Our budget for this outing for myself, sister, and dad would be around $300-400. ALSO no food is allowed as my mom has big dinner plans for him that night.

Any help and suggestions are appreciated! TIA!!!

Anyone been to Hustlers for their Football open bar?

Self explanatory title

Wife and I are curious about going to lifestyle club. Vegas seems like the best city to go to one. Beside the green door. Which seems like a tourist trap. Which other clubs are there. Feel free to DM or comment suggestions thank you.

Just got tickets for John Mayer at the Sphere. Gonna be there for a few nights, so I’m looking for some other things to do while there. Not big on gambling so looking for some other cool ideas. Please give any suggestions!

Brought my wife and two daughters on a trip this past week and wanted to share our experience. I usually go with some buddies once a year and we just sit around and watch football and drink beer, this trip was a bit different.
Day 1: Took cab from airport to the Flamingo, ran about $35. Stay at the Flamingo was great, paid for the suite upgrade $109 a night, well worth it. It had two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, hang out living room and a wet bar with fridge. The room faced the sphere and it was a highlight for the trip, just watching it change. Please do yourself a favor and check in online before you get there, skip the lines. Lines were LONG! After we checked in we ate at In N Out and walked to Miracle Mile and had the fruit in the stick from Te Amo Boba, it was a hit. Picked up some waters for the room on the way back. Went to Mystere for our nightly entertainment. It was a funny, weird, amazing performers and it was my kids favorite part of the trip.
Day 2: Buffet at the Wynn, food was excellent, with big varieties. We did an escape room at PanIQ, really enjoyed the theming and the staff. Then we went to the fashion show mall and shopped. Hit up the arcade at NYNY. Ate at Gonzales y Gonzales, chips and salsa were good, nachos okay, other food was not great, but if you want chain Mexican food it’s decent.
Day 3: Ice Cream Museum, it was a good time. Ice Cream was fresh, they did a great job making it feel like it was a fantasy world. Spent about an hour, very interactive and friendly staff. Walked around Area15 ate at the Beast and it was probably my favorite meal of the trip (besides Wynn) and then did the Universal Horror Unleashed. Absolutely loved it, scary haunted houses, scare actors were a great touch.
Left on Day 4
Places we ate: In N Out, Te Amo Boba, Salt N Straw, Starbucks for morning coffees, Dominique Ansel bakery, BoJangles, Five Guys, Wynn Buffet, Casino Royale (hotdog for me, it is a must), Ja Burritos, Gonzales y Gonzales, The Beast.
Observations: drinks are expensive, you have to try to find deals when you can. $5 drafts and well drinks at Casino Royale and $1 Busch Lights. Flamingo had great drink service and I was able to get free drinks. The Sportsbook doesn’t give the tickets out like they used to, so a bit of a bummer. Also, plan to wait for Ubers (and tip well) the construction has them all messed up with road closures. We had a blast, I didn’t know what my girls would think, but they loved it too. Feel free to ask any questions!

My wife and I are visiting Las Vegas this weekend and planning to drive out to Red Rock Canyon on Sunday. We thought it would be fun to stop in Summerlin for a really good lunch before heading into the park.

We’ll be picking up a rental car around 11 a.m. and have a 1:00-2:00 entry window at Red Rock, so we’re looking to eat around noon.

We enjoy good food and local favorites, and we’d much rather try somewhere the locals recommend than a typical tourist spot. Open to just about any cuisine.

If you had only one place to stop in Summerlin, where would it be?

Got back yesterday from our annual pilgrimage to Vegas. We own two weeks at the Jockey Club. Arrived on Wednesday (9/30), the wife returned the following Thursday, I stayed the full two weeks. Here's my thoughts on the current state of Vegas.

Number of visitors seemed relative to location. Since we are so close to Cosmo, Bellagio and Planet Hollywood, we spent more time at those properties. All of them seemed to be normal. Of course they were busier on the weekends. Overall, I didn't see a decrease in people. But, we did see lulls on the casino floor. But the sportsbooks were packed on the weekends.

And since there wasn't a decrease in people, those who don't know how to walk in a straight line are still in full force. The number of people who walk 4-5 across down an aisle or sidewalk seems to be growing. As if they expect you to walk in the street or step aside as they walk by.

I was there during the rains and flooding, but saw very little the flooding. What I did see was all the outdoor escalators out of service after the rain.

I go for two weekends because I like to bet on football. I also like to hang out in the sportsbook during the games, but Cosmo has taken it to another level. A couple of years ago, the wife and I paid $250 to sit at one of the high top tables. I wanted to reserve a table for Sundays games, and got the official pricing. Couches and chairs in front of the TVs require a $2000 bet. The high top tables were $700. The outer tables were $400. You can sit at the bar, but you have to be playing the bar top slots. I was able to sit at the bar the second Saturday. I got there at 8:30 and ordered a beer. At least 3 different bartenders told me that "if I'm not playing and someone else wanted my seat, I'd have to move". I watched the first 3/4 of the game I wanted. The guy next to me was from Canada (so they are still coming). His dad showed up and I gave up my seat to him, since he wanted to play. The changes to the sportsbook are the biggest reason I'm rethinking going to Vegas anymore. And I've gone to Vegas an average of twice a year for 30 years.

The slots are another reason we soured on Vegas. Every machine is become exactly the same. In how they look and how they function. They all have the bonus where it locks in a dollar amount. Most of them have a meter or bucket that entices you to play, thinking it's close to hitting a bonus. Gone are the days of creative slot machines like Twilight Zone, Price is Right and even the Willy Wonka and Wizard of Oz are dwindling. It removes any joy of playing the games. If slot players weren't mindless drones before, we are now. We also noticed smaller payouts. One of our biggest win on a machine was $250. And that came on a 5 cent machine that I forgot to change the denomination on. Usually it's the other way around, I lose $20 before I realize I didn't change it. We also saw less payouts in the first $20. I usually put $20 in machine. If I double that, I cash out. Otherwise, I play it out. It seems that any larger payouts or bonuses hit, only after you've spent 50-75% of your money. It makes it difficult to take wins, when you're barely breaking even. But, that's a small sample size. I also wondered if playing more than minimum credits had an effect on payouts or bonuses until I sat down at a machine where I was playing minimum bet. The guy next to me was playing max bet. He started with $500, I started with $30. I hit a bonus that ran for a long time (75-100 free spins), he sat there the whole time hitting max bet. He never hit a bonus and ran out of money before my bonus was complete. He's exactly the person that Vegas casinos want in the building.

I did have a funny mistake one morning. Those who know the Buffalo machines are familiar with the Bonus bar that shows on the upper screen. I was at the Cosmo, walking around a bank of Buffalo machines. As you know, the machines go into a demo mode when nobody is playing. Often times showing the Bonus screen. As I went around the bank of machines, I was hitting a button to get off the Bonus screen to see where the Bonus bar was sitting. When I hit the button on the second machine, the Bonus screen started moving. A guy comes running up, yelling at me, asking me what I was doing? He said he was playing that machine and accused me of playing his bonus. He had been 20 feet away watching his wife play her machine. I told him he should never leave a machine. His excuse was that his coffee cup was sitting on the machine and that should have been a sign that the machine was taken. I told him to look around. There were at least 3 machines with cocktail glasses and coffee cups sitting on empty machines. I apologized. He never did.

The most fun we had was playing the Sigma Derby horse racing game at Bellagio. We didn't win. But we didn't lose as much. And the cocktail waitress was constantly bringing us drinks. We played different times for about 3 hours and walked away drunk.

Two things we don't have in our home city is White Castle and In n Out. Talk about two different experiences. For those who don't know (I didn't) the White Castle at Casino Royal has closed. Found that out after I walked down just for a White Castle. So, a couple days later I made the trek downtown. Talk about depressing. Every employee looked like I just ran over their dog. The place was dirty and slow. One person was filling orders. The other two stood and watched. Wouldn't have been an issue, but the two people who ordered in front of me ordered a 20 pack and a 30 pack. It took me 20 minutes to get my combo. And that was after taking 90 minutes to get downtown on the deuce. I went to buy a ticket at the Paris stop, it was out of order. I asked where the next one was. Harrah's. So I trekked to Harris. Both machines were out of order. So, I downloaded the app and purchased that way. But, the busses were running way behind. When one did show up, it was standing room only.

The next day I went to the new In n Out on the strip. That area is going to be really cool once they fill some of the other shops. Being 3 stories up and outside, you get some nice views. The restaurant was clean and the burgers are always good. And an employee was walking around asking if they could take your tray. And with a smile. I won't be eating at the White Castle anymore, but I will definitely return to Inn n Out.

We did have a cashier at Earls Sandwich feel compelled to tell us about his pain from a NSFW piercing he got the day before. That was really appetizing. And prevented us asking anyone "how are you today" for the rest of the trip.

For the most part we had a great trip. It was hot the first 10 days, then it got cold and windy. Vegas keeps changing, but not for the better. The nickel and diming has to stop. Paying $12 for bottle of water and $5 for a candy bar is not going to sustain Vegas. Even rental cars are getting in on the act. We usually get a rental car at the airport to save on cab fair. We have it for a day or two, get groceries, hit some off strip casinos, and then return it to Planet Hollywood. In the past, it would cost around $110 for a day. This trip they wanted $180 and they would no longer let us return to PH. So, we passed.

We have had discussions about selling our timeshares or exchanging them for other locations. I haven't been to Deadwood, SD in over 10 years. We may do a trip next spring to check it out. For what they want to sit in the sportsbook, I could probably attend a Bears game Chicago. Vegas just seems to be moving on without us.

Good luck.

im really desperate to go please dm me ur price

I’m going to Vegas the weekend of the 23rd and I’m wondering if I should bring a Halloween costume? My group and I are staying on Fremont and I know it’s always a party but I don’t know if we would stand out if we dressed up?

I’m staying in Vegas as part of a holiday next summer and need some hotel advice. there are four of us: me (dad) and my three daughters (18, 16, & 10). So, given we won’t be visiting casinos which hotels would you recommend? I’d still like to be central and near attractions and experience the vibe. PH, Paris and Horseshoe keep coming up.

Also how many nights do you recommend? 2 or 3? I’m leaning toward 3 as it will give us 2 full days because we’ll arrive late on the first evening and leave early on the last morning.

Understand that (2) here is much more unlikely, but honestly, I have no idea.

My partner and I probably go to Vegas 4 to 6 times a year. When we go, we go for 3 days, stay in a suite at the Bellagio, and eat at relatively nice places every night. I would say our pre-gambling spend is about 4-6k per trip.

We usually sit/stand exclusively at $25 tables and gamble/shop all day. I would say we usually gamble between $1k and $4k for the entire visit. 5k being the absolute most.

(1) I have read about people getting free rooms/dinners on here, and I am curious to know if that is possible with our spend profile. If not, no sweat. I know we do not spend a ton (for Vegas).

Second (2), it would really be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for my partner to get to go out on the Bellagio boat, and I know we would be willing to spend some significant money to make it happen.

Is there any way to guarantee it?
