Take a helicoptor ride to the dam!!
Last time I was there they charged $115 for a ride throughout the strip and over the dam.

Took my gf on the Grand Canyon/Lake Meade/Hoover Dam/and then a sunset fly over of the strip. It was awesome but expensive, almost 2 hours of fly time.:banana:

yea thats what i want to hear is the about the for sure........i love seafood and italian, yea can you tell a little more about Fremont street.I also heard its a pain in the ass to get a cab out of the hotel where fights are hosted at.....???

Fremont street is "old Las Vegas". Old Casinos, light show over the strip, bands playing, lots of impersonators walking around. I stayed at Fitzgeralds one year and it was crazy there every night. Also go see Carrot Top at the Luxor. I got tickets for my gf for her birthday to see Garth Brooks at the Wynn in September and we're going back out in October for the Supercross. :banana::banana: Have fun, tons of stuff to do.

check out the vegas forum on tripadvisor and if looking for nightclub info check out jackcolton.com. Lots of good stuff to learn.

* Begin each day with about 2-4 hours of black jack and get free drinks to get your buzz on. I recommend one of the tables where the girls dance in front of you.

* Rio's nightclub called Voodoo is pretty cool since its open roof on the top of the tower

* Always split 8s

Go play Blackjack at a full table and when you get your first pair or face cards tell the dealer you want to split them.:dancenana:

Totally agree, ive never been a gambler..i always lose with any local bets so im not really looking to go make money, just have a good time....was wondering more like good places to eat, maybe go to the Shelby museum, other attractions

Screw that. GAMBLE! I had a good time at Mandalay. Gambled for 5 hours off 60 bucks playing black jack and got comped a buffet.

Also, drinks are free while you gamble. 17 red bull and vodkas later, I was happy I had a buffet.

Imperial Palace car collcetion. $8

If you feel like paying $10 admission, there is a Ferrari dealership at the Wynn.

Go to IN N OUT burger, right behind the NYNY over the highway.

If you have a rental car, take a ride out to the Hoover Dam and the new bridge over the canyon. Do the Dam tour.

Take the car up to the Las Vegas Motor speedway, north of the strip.
Across from the speedway is Shelby America, with his museum with CSX #1. I think the daily tours of the facility are at 10am. Call to check.

this^^^ plus check out The Freemont Experince, El Diablo mexican cantina..its on the strip across from planet hollywood, 9 fine irshmen Ny/ny Valley of fire and red rock canyon

Get a "yard" drink. There's a stand out in front of Harrahs (there are many more around, but this was my favorite) and for $20, I got a SoCo/Coke that was easily 1/3 of the bottle. It also helped that when the guy I.D.'d me he saw that I turned 21 a few weeks prior. Needless to say, I was going pretty good after I finished the drink 30 minutes later.

Drink a lot of water. Last time I was out there, it was June, and it was 105+ everyday and my throat got so dry I lost my voice the 2nd day I was out there. Didn't start getting it back until the last day I was there. Kind of ruined things.

Definitely go see the Hoover Dam/new bridge. Take the tour, it's neat.

Go up in the Eiffel Tower at Paris, I think it was $10-$15 a person, but lots of good views, and the Bellagio Fountain show from up there is really neat.


Can't go wrong with the buffets at Mirage, MGM, Planet Hollywood, Bellagio.

Restaurants, The Range Steakhouse at Harrah's, Toby Keith's bar and grill also at Harrahs. There's a Hooters at the Hooters hotel/casino.
+1 on all those Buffets. I think Bellagio is still my favorite buffet.

And the first time I went to Vegas, I stayed at Harrah's and wasn't too impressed with Toby Keith's, maybe I didn't get one of their "signature" platters.

Go get a game or two of tennis in at The International Tennis Centre Las Vegas. It's an awesome facility, great pro's that will give you lessons, and the hospitality is bar none the best. If you go, tell them Derek from Lethal sent you! It's all in doors, so no need to worry about dying out in the Vegas heat. Check out their site: ITC Las Vegas

Everything else, everyone has touched on. I love Vegas, my favorite place to go. The food is amazing, the clubs are awesome, and I love the gambling.

You're going to have a hangover and you're going to get laid. Those are two guarantees when you go to Vegas.
