Like hell I'm giving up my food spots.

There is a reason Vegas is the food capital of the world, though. Do some research.

I prefer fremont to the strip. Plenty of amazing places to eat on the strip tho

Just checking the menu at Bazaar. Wow.
"Yes, gimme a half pound of Wagyu my good man. "
@ 60$ per ounce
>>
>>2732668
No prices for Stanton's. (I guess if you have to ask.......)
>>
Whatever happened to the $1.99 prime rib ?
>>
>>2732670
"With all the fixins and a free shrimp cocktail."
>>
>>2732670
Forget which place but somewhere downtown has a $3.99 steak & eggs breakfast which was surprisingly good
>>
>>2732669
Stanton's has a 64oz tomahawk steak which is enough for 4-6 people and costs $395. You get the steak and the short rib and it's worth it IMO. Fucking delicious and flambeed tableside

I lived in Vegas for 2 years and I visit 2-3 times a year to visit my friends. We pretty much avoid the strip because it's overpriced and no one who lives in Vegas will go near it. With that said, if you want to get off the strip, go to Redrocks and park at the Calico Basin parking area. You can do a really fun rock scramble hike to the top of the giant rock pile. You could do the cloud 9 course at the Angel Park and play a round for $100 with balls, clubs and a cart included. The downtown Grand casino still has $5 blackjack. Fremont Street has free live music at nights on the weekends. There are like 100 good Asian restaurants on Spring Mountain Blvd, Hachi is my favorite. If you're into biking or skateboarding, there are about 14 free skateparks in the Vegas valley. Omega Mart is pretty cool. The Arizona Hot Spring Trail is great.

are players cards worth the effort if youre a small limit player? can you actually get free rooms and free food and shit if you spend 500 bucks gambling over a trip
>>
>>2732972
Yes, it's worth getting them. It's like 10 minutes to get one and even with only $500 coin in you might get teaser offers for a couple nights or at least discounted rates. The thing is this is not going to happen on the first trip at that play level, it will be for subsequent trips. So if you only go every 5 years don't bother.

the prostitutes come out on the strip about 3am. the black ones steal.

It’s less about the dollar amount per wager and more about the length of your play. Casinos love slot players especially. If you enjoy slots you should always use your card and you’ll get some comps after a couple trips. Table games count for points too but they don’t accumulate as quickly as slots
>>
>>2732634
Carrot Top is surprisingly good. Was a bit skeptical, but his act was polished and he was very genuine and likable. Highly recommend.

For food, Omlette House and Blueberry Hill are good breakfast spots, Blueberry Hill on Flamingo is 24hrs. Another Italian recommendation is Nora's on W. Flamingo; great service, high quality, and huge portions. Din Tai Fung at Aria is very good and not too expensive. Really enjoyed Shiang Artisan Noodle. Golden Steer is overrated. Bugsy and Meyers was better imo.

Best gambling is South Point; low table minimums, 3/2 $10 blackjack, $5 3-card, $5 UTH and the slots are loose. Plus the service is old school Vegas, they take care of you without nickle and diming. After midnight, they have a cafe that has $5 specials; burgers, shrimp cocktail, steak and eggs...

Other entertainment, Chicas Bonitas (not joking). Just be on your best behavior or you might have issues with other patrons. Speaking even a little Spanish will also help, but is not necessary. $300 budget and you will have the time of your life.

Tips; if she starts talking money in the elevator, she is an undercover.

Is there really that much difference between a 50/100/200 dollar a night hotel? I use a hotel room to sleep in and can't understand why you'd pay out the ass for a room.
>>
>>2733255
$50 night hotel room is not for sleeping.
>>
>>2733255
If you’re talking Friday-Saturday night, anything under $200 in Vegas will be a 2.5 star hotel at best. If you go midweek you can get a 4-5 star hotel room for under $200 sometimes.

For me, luxury hotels are overrated AF. I don’t spend time in the room besides sleeping and showering. If I was taking a SO maybe I’d pay the extra $100 a night and get a 4 star place to impress her. If I’m going solo or with friends I’m booking the cheapest 3 star I can find
>>
>>2733255
If you don't care about room, then just look at the location. Without a car, anywhere off the strip is going to be major hassle. I would AVOID places like the Rio, The Stratosphere, Circus Circus, The Palms, Mandalay Bay, The Orleans, and the Sahara. They're are all far from the central part of the strip. You'll have to uber or take the bus to get around. Some places are just old and shitty like Flamingo, Excalibur, Luxor and Harrah's. For a tiny little bit more, you get a nicer stay.

If you're staying mid week on a budget and you want to be on the strip, I'd look for a room at the Paris, Treasure Island, MGM or Planet Hollywood. The Paris has some nice rooms with a view of the Bellagio fountains for like $140/night during the week. It's also central on the strip.

Just get drunk and high on the legal weed out there. Let your superior judgement and altered mind mental superiority guide you to adventure.
>>
>food
I never eat anywhere fancy, usually just the mid casino places and it’s fine. Not paying $100 for a steak
>gambling
Get a player card and play $1 video poker as much as possible. You can tread water in that game for hours on $200 usually. Accumulate a ton of points and it counts as slot play which is what casinos want. They’ll send great comp offers if you play a lot of VP
>tips & tricks
The $20 trick works at most lower end properties. Not at Bellagio or other luxury places. Worth it to get a cheap upgrade. Worst case, you’re out $20
>>
>>2733413
This sounds like a sensible plan.
btw when did they legalize pot there ?
Is the US doing it state by state ?
>>
>>2733452
It is up to each state whether it wants weed legal or not. A measure in Florida that would have legalized it failed, whereas Colorado and California have had it legal for over a decade.
>>
>>2733432
>The $20 trick
What's that?
>>
>>2733476
When you check into a hotel they always ask for your ID and a credit card. You sandwich a $20 between the two cards when you hand it to them. They’ll give you a room upgrade most of the time
>>
>>2733477
Imma try this next time at Motel 6
>>
>>2733479
It’s worked for me at multiple mid level Vegas properties. I tried it at Venetian once and the lady handed my $20 back and said they’re booked full so there’s no upgrades. Obviously I had to still tip her the 20 but it made me wonder if I slipped her $100 if she would have given me a suite
>>
Any casinos spas with reasonably priced massage? Not looking for a seedy rub n tug place, legit massage that isn’t $190 for 50 minutes
>>
Looks like hotels are raising their prices so the black friday "deals" are the same as the prices from last week.
>>
There's no point to gamble in Vegas unless you live in a state (or country) with no gambling. Almost every US state has casinos where you can play the same games as Vegas for 1/3 the price. Go to Vegas for the shows and clubs and food and pools and museums. Don't gamble unless you're a poker player or sports bettor. Vegas gambling odds have gotten progressively worse over the last 15 years and the comps keep diminishing.
>>2734407
Look on Massagebook or something. Casino spas are all super overpriced. I've only done a casino spa when I had at least $100 off and it still cost more than a massage at home
>>2733255
The main difference between a $100 and a $200+ room is the clientele. If you stay at a cheap place you'll be surrounded by low class people having arguments in their rooms, yelling in the halls at 2am, shit like that.
>>
>>2734953
the only way to get a good room price in vegas is to gamble lots. comps still exist if you play for hours each trip
>>
>thread hasn't been ruined by the you've never been to Vegas schizo

Gambling in Vegas sucks ass unless you player poker or high limit. Poker is about the only thing the strip does well for low limit players. Everything else you're likely to get rinsed.

If you're a slot player only head to some of the older casinos to find actual decent slots. Who wants to wade through 50 different re-skinned buffalo and huff and puff high volatility bullshit. Try to play old school Pinball, Triple Double Wild Cherry, Double Diamond or Top Dollar. Try to find a Cherries Jubilee slot at mgm grand.

Don't play any 6:5 blackjack or the gay blackjack variants. Avoid triple zero roulette. You'll likely find double zero or American roulette right next to it. High limit will have normal 3:2 blackjack and European roulette. But you're gonna pay a premium to play those games.

The books are fun if you like sports betting but it seems like anything is now an excuse to charge for seating.

I like baccarat, sports betting and poker myself. But last time i was in Vegas I didn't see any lower limit bacc outside of electronic anywhere I went.
