My wife and I are thinking of getting away for a night in Vegas and we need some new ideas for something to do. What's everyone's favorite PG-13 and under show? Restaurant? Hotel?

At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

The Venetian for the hotel. Blue Man Group or Wayne Brady for a show (Wayne Brady probably rated a soft R). That's what I would recommend for a first trip to Vegas.
Restaurant: SW Steakhouse at the Wynn. Get the bone-in ribeye if you like steak. -
We stayed at the Venetian last time and may repeat it--Great hotel. Has anyone stayed at Mandelay Bay?Originally posted by CardiacCoug View Post
By the way, we've been to Vegas a bunch of times. I'm mostly curious to hear what other people have done.At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

I've recommended the JW Marriott Resort in Summerlin to tons of people (especially those taking kids), and everyone comes back thanking me. It's by far our favorite place to stay in LV, and it's reasonably priced to boot.Originally posted by ERCougar View Post

We enjoyed the NY NY--we got a room with a four-leaf clover hot tub, and the dressers had lights in the drawers and closets when you opened them......as far as food goes, I always seek out Rubio's when I'm in their lands, so I'm not the best person to ask about Vegas food. I've heard that the Russian place in Mandalay Bay is amazing, but I don't know it personally.Originally posted by ERCougar View Post"Yeah, but never trust a Ph.D who has an MBA as well.

I would not stay at Caesar's Palace or the Mirage if you were considering those. I've stayed at both those hotels and was not a big fan.Comment

When the rooms are available I stay at the time share condo. Pretty nice and pretty cheap. weekdays 2 BR is like $50. Again the problem is availability.
The place is a couple of miles from the strip and I don't mind not being right there on the strip at a hotel.Comment

A couple of the nicest and most contemporary hotels in Vegas are not on the strip. I would recommend the Red Rock or the Aliante (not even a year old) to anyone. Very cool, contemporary rooms with lots of flat screens. They are not, however, close to downtown (RR is about 20 mins from downtown, Aliante is about 25) so if that's a necessity, then they aren't really an option.
There is an amazing Cuban restaurant in the Sahara (best Cuban-style pork sandwiches outside of Cuba/Miami, so my Cuban neighbor says) and, at the risk of sounding like Ohio Blue pimping Spark, I will again mention Rosemary's Restaurant. It is off the strip, so the overhead is low, and you get a gourmet meal for much cheaper than you would on the strip.

Everyone loves Rosemary's. Its just strange following a gourmet meal with a trip to the Dollar Tree for desert.Originally posted by Donuthole View PostAin't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

You are a doctor, Pony up and stay at the Wynn. Last time I was there I saw Doug Flutie (seriouly dude is like 5'7). They have an outdoor casino, and the golf course is awesome.*Banned*Comment

I saw the new Las Vegas version of Phantom but didn't care for it. It's the same play, but shortened to 90 minutes with no intermission. They basically cut out the dialogue and just skipped to the singing, and Raoul and Christine didn't seem to like each other. It was like high school acting.
The Big Shot at the top of the Stratosphere is pretty thrilling though.Comment

I don't even have to spend a dollar on desert, as I have plenty of it behind my house, free of charge.Originally posted by falafel View PostPrepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
