Spending the weekend in Vegas for my boy's bachelor party. I'm positive that we will have no problems finding trouble, but figured I'd come here and listen to suggestions. Best places to eat, watch the games, best bargains, strip clubs, etc. We're all big fans of sports, and titties, so probably be posted up watching/betting on games by day, and partying/looking for strange by night. What ya got CP?

I'm looking at all the sites for top 10, etc...but just wondering if any of you had experiences.

Hugos Cellar in the 4 Queens has the best steak in town. Period.

Someone asked about Michaels Pub...its a local dive. Fun place, but way off the strip. Its where the rest of us live.

From what I understand, drinks are free at any sports book as long as you have a bet going. But the waitress doesn’t come around very often and the drinks are small.

And its always pool weather in Vegas.

Beg to differ on this. Went in late November for the LV Invitational last year. Highs in the upper 50's. Pools were closed and even if they were open, I wouldn't have jumped in.

Watch football at the Hilton. They open up the showroom and have a bunch of huge screens showing all the games. No free drinks unless you know someone *wink*, but it's a great place to watch football on Sundays.

Nzoner will confirm.

Imperial Palace should be re-named Imperial Shithole in keeping with truth in advertising. *ugh*

I'm pretty much a regular at the Flamingo,so here's a few tips.Upon check-in go to the Total Rewards Center and get yourself a Harrah's player's card.The Flamingo sportsbook is not much at all but it's fine to place your bets there especially since you're staying there.IMPORTANT...upon placing your bets give them your player's card and ask for your FREE drink tickets,you MUST ask.These are good at any of the bars at Flamingo for domestic beer and the like.

The bar closest to the sportsbook is normally quite a fun spot if you're into video poker because at least per my experience the machines are quite loose.IMPORTANT...if you want more free drinks,simply sit down at the bar insert your card into a VP machine with $5 to $10 and then wait for bartender and/or get their attention before playing(else prepare to pay $5-$7 for a beer).Service is normally quite good.Order your drink and play a hand or two of VP.There are 3 tv's above this bar and football and or play-offs will be on so,if you choose to sit there and watch keep your card in machine and gamble a bit but all your drinks will be comped and fairly quickly.I usually tip $1 per.

Flamingo is not a grand casino but it's fun and down to earth.IMPORTANT...I don't normally like spending a lot of bucks on food when in Vegas so keep in mind on either side of the Flamingo you have the following 2 places.1.O'Sheas
which is also owned by Harrah's so your player's card can be used there.This place usually has GREAT live music and is always packed and the bonus is it has a Subway inside for $5 footlongs

2.Bill's Gamblin' Hall which between midnight and 6 a.m. has a $5.99 steak and eggs and the extras.

Lastly your Total Rewards player's card is good at any Harrah's casino and I suggest using it whenever gambling as they have a great comp program and they can be used anywhere including Harrah's KC.

Some of Harrah's properties in Vegas include
Harrah's
O'Shea's
Flamingo
Caesars Palace
The Paris
Bally's
Planet Hollywood
Imperial Palace
The Rio(off the strip but there's a free shuttle at Bally's,the sportsbook there if you get there early and get a seat has comped drinks during any game and I never once had to show that I was gambling.)

ALSO,per Dartgod's post for NFL action on Sunday get your ass to the Hilton and NFL Central at the old Manilow theatre.Best place to watch games bar none and it gets to rockin'.Also note,the Hilton sportsbook,seperate from the theatre is the mother of all Vegas sportsbooks,and I mean the mother,giant tv screens and the absolute largest book in all of Vegas and if you venture over there still has comped drinks during the games.

Sorry,this was so long but seeing that I know you and appreciate your past gifts

I wanted to make sure you at least have a damn good idea on getting around.

Have a great time!!

P.S. For beautiful women and a very seductive show with fockin' great music,take your buddy to see X-Burlesque at The Flamingo.It's up close and somewhat personal(not a strip club) but the wimmen are WOW and the show is top notch.The only negative is that they rape you on the drinks,so get nice and buzzed before you go,the show is at 10p.m. nightly.

Yep. I stay at the Nugget for a few different reasons, to be across the street from Hugos is one of them.

For a really good cheap steak (yeah, I know, those two words aren't normally used together), go to the diner at Ellis Island Casino at Flamingo and Koval. It's not to far from the Flamingo, so you could walk to it if you want.

For $6.99 you get a really good strip steak, potato, veggie, salad, roll and a beer. They have a brew pub on site, so you can try one of their brews which are pretty good. It's not on the menu, so just ask for the steak special.

I had heard about this for years and finally tried it last time out. I will go back again.

CHENZ A! · 10-06-2011, 08:50 AM

Thanks a lot for the tips Joe!

Hell yes. I got broke in on Vegas when this place was the Barbary Coast; learned to play cards there because it had the cheap tables.
BC and Desert Inn were two of the old school good ones...*sigh*....getting old.
