God-9

I stayed in the aria for my honeymoon. Its a stunning hotel. Great choice

Arias cool. Great to watch sports aswell. Done the grand canyon with a company called maverick. You get a plane there then get the helicopter. They pick you up from your hotel aswell as we stopped at the aria.

I used Maverick as well, just got the helicopter though, not a plane and helicopter, which sounds a bit odd!

Looking at going end of May for a week. Missed a really good deal for mgm for 800 couple of weeks back.

The plane took us from vegas to the canyon airbase. Then you had the choice of helicopter into the canyon or a coach to another part. We had a walk upstairs aswell theres touristy things like exhibitions about the people who used to search for gold there. Scenery and wildlife are the best parts for me. I didn’t fancy it prior to going but it was really good. Never done the hoover dam

A "friend of mine" got a bunch of white lightning in the Penthouse place off the strip. But it was one of the sketchiest situations my friend ever found himself in. So, avoid that one. Just ask any cabbie they'll all know where to go and they get a kick back too.

I got married in Vegas and it was honestly the maddest few days of my life. Great place but 3 days, in and out or you'll loose your mind.

I can't recommend New Orleans enough if you're doing a bit of travelling.

I too got married in Vegas. In Graceland Chapel with a fat elvis serenading us and a guy who was the spit of Leslie Nielsen as the Vicar. It was a surreal experience and cost me only $190 all in, inc video.

Snap! Our guy started playing a little bit of Metallica "For whom the bell tolls" during the ceremony. Just before it all started he was telling me about his trip to Ireland...In character mind you. Then took out a signed picture of him and Ryan Tubridy, telling me he'd been in a few weeks before. The whole thing was surreal as fuck.

So having never been before, however i do know vegas has a lot to offer, i'm staying in the excalibur hotel, So is there any bars near that hotel or on the strip that i MUST go to? or is it a free for all and any bar i walk into will be good? unfortunately liverpool won't be on while i'm in vegas

All i have definite plans for so far is the zip line in fremont street and a strip club somewhere, i'm there for 3 nights so plenty of time to do something else!

The Foundation Room bar in Mandalay Bay is a must, it's a pretty good bar but has the best view of the strip.

Depends what you want from a bar I guess.
But if I ever get the chance to go back, the duelling Piano's are at the top of my list bar wise. I seem to remember a really good time in an Irish bar in NY NY too.

I'm not sure to be honest with you, everytime I've been there it's been as part of a bar crawl so I was wearing shirt and chinos anyway.

Treasures is our strip club of choice when I go with the lads. If you can afford it get bottle service!

I'm going again with the Mrs in June (so no strip clubs unfortunately) and stopping at The Delano for 6 nights having received an offer of 3 nights free from them.

We done that 14 years ago, but ours was at Viva Las Vegas Weddings (Elvis impersonator included!). Had a limo pick us up from our hotel (Excalibur) and it was streamed live over the net (which was quite impressive in 2004)

I’m off in two weeks. Last part of a ten day America hol (New York and San Fran before)

We’ve got bits and bobs booked (helicopter Grand Canyon picnic etc)

What’s the thing you’d recommend as a MUST do or see?

paulrazor · « **Reply #477 on:** April 26, 2018, 10:14:31 pm »

Zenden. Was gonna suggest the chopper canyon

Go up and down strip anyway.

Maybe take a show in and just admire the madness in casinos as well as the bellagio fountains
