Question Vegas

Hey Everyone,

I'm planning on celebrating my 21st in Vegas with a friend whose birthday is very close to mine. He's an old school friend so we both will be celebrating out 21st birthdays.

Were from the Uk (as the name suggests) and will be/planning on going for around 5 days...ish.

Just thought I'd ask on here a s a few people have mentioned there going in other topics.

So for 5 days what spending money would you suggest (I'm not a gambler but when in Rome. I'm thinking of taking around £700)

Also how does a night work? As in is it just a strip you make your way down going into the different hotels. Are there any night clubs that you'd want to end your night?

If i steel mike Tyson tiger can i then get him to sing at my friends wedding at a later date?

Just any advice or "top tips" would be very appreciated cheers.

ghuk


P.S - Irrelevant however "guns on campus" very interesting topic to have a nosy. if you like sophisticated/cultured debate/discussions not just the I'm right your wrong.

Would you think £700 (around $1400) be enough for 4-5 nights then

should be, but again, it depends what you intend on doing. If you are clubbing every night, and doing the pool parties, you need as much cash as possible. Cash is king in vegas.

We highly recommend you stay at a hotel that has a kickin' pool scene as the night life can be an illusion since so many people are trying to be cool and slick they actually are not fun to be around. We have found the Venus pool club at Caesars to be a daytime blast. It is topless optional and the crowd there is a lot like the ones at TTR, very easygoing and a little sexy....There is a very good chance you would line up your nighttime fun with people you meet at this pool . Your accent will serve you well here, we predict.

Booked it

We finally got it set in stone and we fly out on the 27th. Manchester to Philadelphia then Vegas.

To optimize our spending power we'd had to go cheap on the hotel so were staying at circus circus. However a friend whos going is staying at the four seasons.. (I know) n their confidant we can get in their pool etc as they've done it before.

Instead of the five days were now going for the week... rather be broke sat around a pool than broke back home.

However does anyone know if , in terms of ID, they accept ENGLISH driving license. As the states i will be getting in i do not want the responsibility of my passport.

Also what time do people "go out" i know this is the city that never sleeps so i might not get an answer... but when in Mexico we went out 11-7, when in Greece 12 - 5 or if i was back home we go out around 9.


Cheers once again x

Most US bars and clubs won't even accept Canadian IDs - so I HIGHLY doubt that they will accept your European one. Bring your passport.

Although you might have already went - because I don't see any months referenced on your post - just dates.

In that case - never underestimate the power of dueling pianos. There is a dueling piano bar in NY NY - and it is my favorite place to be. When I went with other people, they were wandering around searching for clubs and hip places (which is about non-existant on a monday or tuesday night) - and I was there with the place packed to the gills and (seriously) the WHOLE BAR singing along. It was hysterically fun!!

How did that trip go??? Its all good saving money by staying at Circus Circus, but you got excited about the 4 Seasons pool? You should have done more research on the JackColton idea, we have been been on several AOD(army of drinkers) invasions and if you can get tips on saving money and VIP hookups its via JC. Did you see the forums part of the site?? Hopefully you hit Tao Beach, Encore Beach or Wet Republic at the least. Hope you had a good time.. Sucks when people go to Vegas and have no idea what they are missing out on.....

We were in Vegas in Nov 2011 and had a fantastic time. Stayed at the Golden Nugget. Opted not to rent a car since we didn't want to worry about drinking and driving. Cabs at night, shuttles during the day. Miles and miles of walking too, so that we could see as much as we could! Slept as little as possible to be able to do everything we wanted to do and still didn't manage to see it all, lol! Return trip is in order! Have a great time!!

Just the topic i've been looking for,

tagging Vegas on to the end of a California road trip in mid June, just booked up 4 nights @ the Bellagio, can't wait, no idea what the pool scene is there but hopefully it'll be pretty decent .. but if not, can you get in to the pools at other hotels?
