i have to go there fairly soon for a day but was thinking about taking off a few extra days to take in additional sights and sounds but here's the catch...
i don't really care much either way about gambling and maybe it's just the day i'm having or something or maybe it's the fact that i've eaten at mhk giants the chef, b$b, 4 olives and aggie station all in the last 72 hours, but i honestly don't think i care about staying in the nicest of nice hotels or eating at five star dinner places.
so my question is this- are there extra activities/ridiculous things in and around vegas that i could do and experience and get a good few days out of it? the more ridic the better. something that would be a different experience or make for a good story. after 5 minutes of googling i'm like maybe i could buy a tent when i get there and camp the grand canyon or something? feasible? dunno. would love thoughts and non dirty/slimebally suggestos if anyone has them.

:lynchmob:Go to Spearmint Rhino. Weather you go in or not does not matter. Proceed to get black out drunk and then hike back to the strip on foot around 3:00 am. I did it and survived I bet you can't. :)

agree but if i have to fly all the way there for one day, i'm assuming there is something of interest to get me there a few days early. based on the early results though maybe i was wrong. las failgas. :flush:

what about that giant fan where you can do a fake skydive on it?

i saw one of those in that movie "drop-zone". they look pretty fun!

i think they might be dangerous, probably best to pay attention to the instructor. now, if the instructor happens to be a hot blond with killer legs, well, i guess we'd already be paying attention now wouldn't we? :crossfingers:

Daris riding a donkey down the grand canyon is a super adorable thing to imagine.

Go to the elite pools, Daris. Great opportunity to show off all that work you've been doing in the gym. :gocho:

They just built one of these places about 2-3 miles from my house... Have yet to go there yet tho.

Golf is pretty fun. Maybe you could hook up with one of the gun clubs and try out some rad guns? http://thegunstorelasvegas.com/. You could shoot a really real machine gun RD! I bet nobody else in your class has done that. You'll be the coolest kid on the block. :gocho:

Maybe you look like a dumbass that would buy fake coke from locals.

I searched "hipster vegas" sort of as a joke, but would probably actually use this in your shoes.

how about going to a day spa? they'll do miracles with your cuticles and if you have a problem with dead skin on your heals then you can kiss that problem goodbye too because these guys are wizards with the skin. las vegas skin wizards. that's what i always say. lvsw.

Hello neighbors. Way overpriced for a couple 60-75 second flights.

I've become sort of familiar with the city over the last few years because it is now part of my coverage area and I'm out there six times a year or so. With that said, here are some weird things I've done in Vegas and you should try:
Pinball Hall of Fame -- Pinball is awesome, and this joint has thousands of pinball machines. It's really cool.
Tour of the Neon Boneyard -- All of the neon signs from Old Vegas and defunt hotels and whatnot in one place. It's really cool to see.
Classic car display at the Quad -- if you are into old cars, that's kinda sweet.
Minus 5 at Mandalay Bay is kinda weird (but sort of meh) -- They give you a parka and let you drink vodka in this room that is - 5 degrees. The bar is made of ice. It's not that impressive but it is weird. This is a chain, I think.
The Peppermill restaurant is kinda cool. Great food and it has this weird 1970s vibe with neon and pink plush.
At Todd English Pub at Aria they will give you free beer if you can drink it in less than 7 seconds. I think there is a limit of 5, but it's a great little challenge because you pay 9 bucks or so if you fail the challenge. The bartender waived the limit once and my buddy Pops took the place for 8 free beers.
Helicopter tour of strip looks pretty cool. I've never done it, but i know it can be done for a reasonable price.
People have already mentioned the indoor skydiving
That's a good start.

They are pints. The real challenge is how cold they are. I'm capable of doing 3. I always fail on the fourth. But I end up getting 4 pints for 9 bucks. Not a bad deal there.

Here's a video. Not me or anyone I know. Just some chugging boss on the Internet:

I would anticipate that would be about my limit as well.

Hit up some national parks. Zion, Bryce, Death Valley, and Grand Canyon are all pretty close.

call up j rake and ask if he has any free time. he probably does.

that beer chugger guy reminded me of this hot dog chugger

you should check out the las vegas tunnels. it's an underworld beneath the strip. many homeless people live down there, but they have set up miniature homes - some have queen-size beds; others have book shelves and dressers; others have created showers (presumably from the rainwater that threatens to wash away their "home" at any time). It's a tight-knit community down there, like it's own little village.
the tunnels stretch over a 2.5-mile area from beneath MGM all the way across to Monte Carlo and beyond. Some of the Tunnel People have jobs, but in most cases nothing stable. Many of the Tunnel People rely on voucher hunting (discarded slips in slot machines) or trash digging at night.

Wow, will definitely give this a go when I'm out there in March. I once chugged a "big boy" beer from tubby's in under 15 seconds so this shouldn't be a problem.
-
ah yes. the temperature of the beer could make it rough. i'm a room temp chugger for sure. i can do it a little colder, but it slides down the gullet so much easier if it's not super cold.
I'm a tremendous chugger though. I bet if I tried i could drink 4 beers in a minute. Maybe this weekend?

drive construction equipment at Dig This
http://www.digthisvegas.com/
get the seal team 6 experience at Machine Guns
http://machinegunsvegas.com/
go downtown to Mermaids, get 5 dollars in nickels. sit at a slot machine, put a nickel in every couple of minutes. as long as you do this and tip a dollar or two each time, the waitresses will bring you unlimited free drinks quicker than you can drink them. last time I did this I actually ended up winning 10 bucks at the slot machine, so even with tips it cost me like 5 bucks total to get absolutely blasted. the texas tea machine is the most hilarious.
whoever said get a massage is right, I did this at the golden nugget once and it was great. good cheap place to stay too fwiw.

Work jobs on the strip for a couple days, like porn card hand out'r, or dress up as a transformer or something and do photo opps for tips.

Love the peppermill. The food is somewhat meh compared to what you want it to be. Not bad, just not incredible. The lounge area is kind of neato. Was briefly shown in Casino.
Lol, pops. What a stud.

thanks for all of the help. vegas really seem like it kind of sucks though so i'm now thinking about not going after all. maybe just wait a few weeks and hit orlando and rent a car and over to clearwater beach.

I took it as making a day trip to the beach. Either way, leaving MCO is a mistake.

no. i would be required to be in orlando for about 24 hours and would not outstay that.

i think we can all agree that orlando is the worst
