KnightofNi · January 07, 2010, 07:02:15 AM

it will be very strange going there with the s/o, but she'll ahve a girls night so the guys can go out and gamble and enjopy the "scenery"

i didn't really go to the "bar", but was taken back to a more private "dining room" and made acquaintances with several eastern european "tourists".

They money would have been much better spent at Pat Clark's or on craps. But I did get a good "vegas" story, I suppose, for my money.

Check out the UNLV web site and see what is happening on campus. Basketball, shows, art, lectures, etc.

It can be good to get away from the strip.

This coming weekend is Sin City Roller Girls vs Treasure Valley Roller Girls at the LV Roller Hockey Center.
if you like a bunch of tatted-up dirty girls wearing short skirts and tanktops wailing the hell out of each other...

Hellen Brimstone is the best one.

This.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far.

I don't know if a show is really my thing, but I'm willing to give it a shot.

I really want to get a massage while we are down there. Good places?

I would love to come back with more money than we brought but that's not likely. I don't think the "tourists" have very good odds. (duck and cover)

Dude-it's sin city. Even the shows you don't want to see will probably be full of topless women. I'm not sure how you can go wrong with that.

Any of the casinos will have a spa that would probably hook you up, but I would just have them send a masseuse to the room.

meh, i dunno if its still full-fledged sin city anymore. when they tried to go family friendly, i'm not sure they got all the way back to full sin-city form. but its like, mostly-sin-city, now.

No lack of sin when I was there last (last year).

i expected "a lot" more than what you get in New Orleans. There was more. Not "lots more".

KnightofNi · January 07, 2010, 11:28:02 AM

i think the worlds idea of "sin" has changed and some things are more acceptable now than they were before
it couyld also be that people realize their morals are far to strong to truly do the things they percieve going on there.

however, i'm sure that if you have the money you can find a lot more of the afore metnioned "sin" than the average joe could.

Pat Clark Motorsports is the Ducati shop. It is really nice. They also synched my carbs while i was there which helped out TONS.

+1

And the guy that owns the place is awesome.

He gave us a ride back to the strip since it was taking forever for our cab to get there to pick us up.

Hot and Juicy Crawfish, if you like seafood,
Hash House A Go Go, if you like food....

Resist the temptation to buy drinks from the vendors right on the strip unless it's a two for one

I prefer to go the the liquor stores scattered between the hotels. Beers are twice as big and are half the price

that reminds me...the $1 maragaritas are about as bad as you might think a $1 margarita is.

hash house a go go rules.
plus they have this on the menu:
O'Hare of the dog- 24 oz Budweiser & side of bacon
(the bud is served in a paper bag)

as far as the sin factor...you cant rely on other people to provide your sin...sometimes you gotta make your own

Check out Mystere at Treasure Island. It is one of the older Circ de Sole's so it is quite a bit cheaper but still amazing. The new city center also just opened with the new Aria hotel/casino in the middle. This place makes most of the rest of the strip look old and tired. Definitely check it out.
