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:

if you like doing coke, you could do a ton.

I was propositioned by coke salesmen twice when I was in vegas, is that normal or do I look like the kind of guy that wants to buy some coke?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
