Las Vegas Tips !!! 

Post#1 » by Scorpion King » Sun Jan 3, 2010 4:43 pm

I started this thread in off topic but there was no response.

I am planning to visit Vegas this summer and my budget is $1000 for the whole trip excluding the flight fare.

Can you guys give advice on affordable restaurants, hotel, strip/night clubs ? Also any other worth watching sites near Vegas ?

Based on his new years thread Tony seems like he is a frequent visitor of sin city. I would appreciate if Tony or any of you guys give me some input.

Thanks. Go Lakers

Just got back yesterday. I am only 23, but anytime i go to vegas with my friends it is always a good time. The energy there is on a level of it's own. Don't set your cell phone anywhere, but your pocket. Or don't lend it to a drunk friend claiming that he put it on the urinal you were using, assuming you knew. So a stolen cell phone can happen in seconds. Since it was so packed for new years, I kept my wallet in my front pocket. I have never been to a strip club out there, but I have been dropped off at one. I think all taxi cab drivers will drive you to the strip club for free. I was dropped off a the spearmint rhino one time and we just used the ride to get somewhat closer to the strip. Since the cab was free. If you are gambling, know when to stop. That's huge. However, most of the times you won't win big money without putting big money down. I love craps, if you don't know how to play you have time to get a little book and learn. There are a lot of different systems. Coyote ugly has a lot of cougars. That's in new york new york. I just went to Rok there too, it's okay. I don't like spending big money of clubs. My friends when to the new club eve, at the new place aria. Some liked it, others thought it was okay. But grant hill, tony parker and ben affleck were there haha. It's eva longorias club I believe. I like ghost bar at the palms, also rain at the palms is awesome. And i would recommend flying and not driving. It's just so much more convenient. Just a few tips from my handful of experiences

Carrot top appears on talk shows once in a while. He does the same thing all the time. I have been there a few times. Won some and lost more. I get there in the morning and leave by night. Forget staying in a hotel. Lakers own that territority.

Hit up the spearmint rhino, or sapphire strip clubs man! don't get suckered to the vip tho limo rides are all free from all strip hotels. TAO at the Venetian nightclub is **** awesome, and gambling wise, don't do it, unless ur doing it for the free drinks haha, if your only on a 1000 budget. hit up the bufffets at wynn, and bellaggio, bit pricey tho.

Hoover Dam is about 30 minutes from the strip and Grand Canyon is about 3 hours, using a rough (unpaved) road to the West Rim. There might be a better alternative way than this but we usually take the rough road (it's more FUN, but challenging drive) Check it here:

I'm too old for strip clubs and nightclubs so I don't go there anymore. When I go to Vegas these days, I just hike and explore nature. I take my camera gear and hike at Valley of Fire (45 mins from the strip) and Red Rock Canyon (about 30 mins from the strip) You will see AMAZING landscapes and rock formations.

Have fun. Vegas is not all about strip clubs and gambling. :)

Whatup S.K........... Happy New Year brah.

Okay let me see if I can help. Unfortuantly I cant give you my personal hooks info or put you on my guestlist since I dont really know you and I have done that for other people before and it came back to haunt me. I hope you understand.

BUT

I can help you by giving you a couple of my boys links and you can take it from there.

http://nightlifestation.com

and the other one is

http://www.siennaentertainment.com/ He does every major city from LA to Miami. Stay on his calender of events and a lot of good things will come up in the Summer.

http://www.lightgroup.com/ This is another friend of mine, but again I cant drop names but go on their clander and set up an account and he will send you reminders.


As far as strip clubs. My two favorite that I havent really been to in a long time are

http://www.spearmintrhinolv.com/

is very good as so is

http://ogvegas.com/

A word of advice, dont let them hustle you brah. 99.9% of them are all call girls escort and hoohers. :wink:


By the way, post a thread on here before you come down....... Im might roll up there and party with you and your boys. I hope I helped brah. :wink:
