Going to Vegas soon for the first time. Very low LVIQ. Ideas/tips from experienced Vegaspakr's?

just got back from Vdara. all suites and no smoking throughout the property. No casino or formal restraunt though. It is attached to the Bellagio via skywalk thing and the Vdara is right next to it. half the rooms overlook the bellagio fountains which was pretty cool. rooms were very nice. we spent most of our time at Aria which is my new favorite casino. ate at Julian Serrano's in city center. tapas and spanish food. very, very good. also spent a lot of time at Todd English PUB in the same place. went to Mesa again but it was kind of meh compared to the other times we have been. was pretty PAK'd by the time we got there though so my senses were dulled. won about $1,500 on the tourny/blackjack which was nice. I'm the only person in the world that can get wiped out on a pai gow table immediately. at one point I had about 5 pai gows in a row which I'm pretty sure is the record.

Wife got a new job - they are sending her on a trip at the same time we booked the Vegas trip.

I'll have to hang out there quite a bit. Did you check out the Cosmo at all? Is it dreamy?

quick in and out at the cosmo. seemed hip. it's kind of hilarious how it's set up. Like, the bellagio, aria and vdara all surround it but they bypass it with their sky-walks and make it a pain in the ass to get to it from their properties because it's not a part of their little little cool kid club club.

My long held and much criticized opinion that the Excalibur is a decent hotel has fallen. SD and his lackeys win again.

your belief that it wasn't ridiculous to consider staying, or hanging out at or even being there always baffled me. I did tell sdbro that going to the Tournament of Champions there with a bunch of bros may have some value.

It was fine for a low brow guys trip but why I thought it was ok to take a gf here blows my mind. Every restaurant by Michael mina is amazing tho.

I set up a trip for my father to meet up with my sister and her friends. I set him up in a budget room basically, at the MGM Grand, and I just got this text from him: Sweet they didn't have my room so they gave me a suite 1000sq feet Jacuzzi and all. Needless to say I'm a bit envious. All because he was delayed by weather out of Wichita.

pretty great when you get upgrades like that. happens a lot in vegas. why does the MGM care that they were delayed?

I think They gave away his room because he was so late, so he got the upgrade.

Also I want to add he's known about this trip for a year and I tried to convince him to do the airline miles stuff but he said it was to much trouble

I haven't read this whole thread yet, but am intending on printing it out and taking it with me next time I go out there.

One of my bro's is having his bachelor party there. I'm sure I won't have the balls to sneak cocaine on the plane, so what would be the best to snot: Adderall or Hydro's?

If you print it out you should be able to tell after leafing through it.

Holy drug rookie.

You can't snort hydros, if you do, enjoy the pain.
You can snort addy, but it doesn't really have much of a stronger effect than just taking them orally.

A friend of a friend I was with last time was known to enjoy cocaine time and time again. Two people offered it to him his first night before he finally obliged the third. It didn't seem hard for him to find it
