Las Vegas
Originally posted by Moliere View PostMJ and I have the opportunity to take a quick vacation while my mom is in town later this year. We were thinking of just driving to the hill country but most of the stuff we'd do out there would be more fun with kids. So I'm trying to figure out where we can go that is quick and easy to get to and would be fun and a new experience. We've never really been to Vegas...I mean we've been there for bowl games and I frequented it as a kid, but we've never been there for vacay. So I'm looking into stuff to do to see if it's worth it. We've got basically two or three days and we'd fly out on a Friday morning or afternoon and fly back Sunday or possibly Monday morning.
Any recommendations for the following (keeping in mind MJ gets offended at prolonged profanity)?
- Hotels
- Restaurants
- Shows
- Sunday activities...this one will be tough. We don't usually hit church on vacay and MJ was okay doing a Normandy tour on Sunday back on the France trip. Maybe a drive to the south rim of the grand canyon? It's far but I don't think she's ever seen it.
I have some other suggestions, but I'll type them out when I have more time this weekend.

There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

I still think the best is the advertisement that says "Veni, Vidi, Veni".Prepare 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

Las Vegas is the best and worst city in America. I love it. I do think frequently on what I would do if I left and came back for a weekend getaway.
Gambling:
I'd play poker at Aria or the Wynn
Play blackjack $100 limit at Bellagio
Craps at The Cromwell.
Eating:
Breakfast at Oyster Bar in Palace Station
2:00 in the morning dinner at Raku
Steak at Craftsteak/Del Friscos/Etc they are all fantastic
Another meal from Asia, Monta/Curry Zen/Kabuto/Lotus
Tacos El Gordo for al pastor
Drinks at Cosmo
Donuts at Donut Bar
Malasadas at Island Grill
Lodging:
I'd stay on the strip, that's the point right?
The JW is nice but far away
Attractions:
Neon Museum
Mob Museum
Fremont street for the freak show
People watching on the strip
Hoover Dam is cool, really cool from the lake
Shows:
All the Cirque Shows are cool, Ka is my least favorite MJ1 is the best.
I'd see if any concerts are going
See if any boxing/MMA events they are insanely fun
Watching football on a Sunday in a sports book is a lot of fun
Grand Canyon is too far IMO, plus Boulder City can get crazy on a Sunday. Valley of Fire is probably cooler as far as physical attractions. Even Red Rock is closer and probably just as cool, there's a couple cool hikes and a nice park there where you can completely miss the strip.
I think you are one of the worst posters here or Id invite you boating, maybe Falafal can take you?

One of Fusnik's best suggestions is watching football at a sports book. It's also fun on a Saturday.Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”
