headed to vegas for two nights early december please share suggestions for entertainment, food, gambling, museums, tips & tricks, etc. any and all vegas insight welcome
>>2732634Like hell I'm giving up my food spots.There is a reason Vegas is the food capital of the world, though. Do some research.
>>2732637Moron >>2732634Italian>Lavo (strip) >Andiamo (fremont) >Piero’s (just off strip) >Giuseppe’s (spring valley, more of a local hangout) Steak>Bazaar (strip) >Oscar’s (fremont) >Golden Steer (off strip) >Stanton Social Prime (strip) Other >Nacho Daddy (multiple locations) >Le Thai (near fremont) >a million buffets on the strip >Pizza Rock/Evel Pie (both on fremont) I prefer fremont to the strip. Plenty of amazing places to eat on the strip tho
>>2732664Just checking the menu at Bazaar. Wow."Yes, gimme a half pound of Wagyu my good man. " @ 60$ per ounce
>>2732668No 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."
>>2732670Forget which place but somewhere downtown has a $3.99 steak & eggs breakfast which was surprisingly good
>>2732669Stanton'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
>>2732972Yes, 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.
>>2732634the prostitutes come out on the strip about 3am. the black ones steal.https://odysee.com/@Realfake_Newsource:9/RFNS-4.21-003-030:4
>>2733035I had several hookers proposition me on Fremont around 330am last time I was in Vegas>>2732972It’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
>>2732634Carrot 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.
>>2733255If 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
>>2733255If 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.
>foodI never eat anywhere fancy, usually just the mid casino places and it’s fine. Not paying $100 for a steak >gamblingGet 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 & tricksThe $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
>>2733413This sounds like a sensible plan.btw when did they legalize pot there ?Is the US doing it state by state ?
>>2733452It 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 trickWhat's that?
>>2733476When 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
>>2733477Imma try this next time at Motel 6
>>2733479It’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. >>2734407Look 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 >>2733255The 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.
>>2734953the 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 schizoGambling 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.
love vegas love gambling love drinking favorite place on earth simple as
>>2732634*scrolls the thread with this face :/*SoooooooooooWhat’s the best way to get Las Vegas tutors without getting the principle of involved and getting locked in the detention room?
>>2735286what is this schizobabble
Going in January. Got some great offers from the Fremont properties. They must be hurting for gamblers, I’ve never gotten as many free nights and as much free play. I’m not a big gambler
My Vegas suggestions>avoid penny slots and 6:5 black jack>stay at a non casino hotel>its fine to gamble but you should limit gambling time. do other stuff>vegas has great museums, check them out>get plenty of sleep>drink a ton of water>two nights is long enough. do not do a week long trip>vegas strip clubs have 9s and 10s dancing but they’ll bleed you dry with criminal pricing. lap dances are often two hundred bucks or more if the girl is really hot>buffets mostly suck now. skip buffets >any casino bar with machines in the bar will give you free drinks if you are gambling. play low limit video poker and drink for free >leave one day before you have to go back to work. nothing worse than a vegas hangover and having to work the next morning>downtown is really fun. IMO fremont is better than the strip. free live music, cheap booze, reasonable gambling odds, good food, easy to casino hop unlike the strip where it’s half a mile between property entrances>many undercover cops trying to entrap people into buying drugs or sex. drink and smoke legal weed if you need to. do not try to score coke or molly or other drugs. decent chance you end up getting arrested>casino restaurants are far too expensive. eat at local spots and save money
>>2734961>The main difference between a $100 and a $200+ room is the clientele. Definitely this. We stayed at the Excalibur one night and the nogs next to us were blasting music at full volume all night. We called down to complain and they said "People are allowed to listen to music in their rooms." It was 4 am. I actually got Travelocity to refund the cost of the room because I told them what happened and said that we left in the middle of the night. But we actually didn't leave.
Got a 50% off shows with booking a hotel in Vegas, staying there this week for thanksgiving any suggestions on choosing between penn and teller, WOW Vegas show, or comedy cellar? I’m leaning more towards penn and teller even though they are fossils, wish it wasn’t a family friendly show
>>2736609Penn & Teller was underwhelming for me. I’d do comedy
>>2736609pay the money and go to absinthe. worth it. best show in vegas
worth it to chase gambling comps?
>>2736740I've heard great things about Absinthe. Ka was amazing. There are a ton of live music venues in Vegas. It's always fun to go see a band there. I also like hitting up the cheap comedy clubs. A few of them are free, or have a tiny cover charge. There's a great comedy scene in Vegas. Everyone stops there.
>>2736747nope. Absolutely not. Unless you're playing $50/hand of blackjack for 3 straight days, you won't even get a buffet.
>>2736747If you’re a skilled gambler maybe. Otherwise you’ll lose far more than the amount you’re comped. Gamble less and just pay for your food out of pocket. The only exception would be players club welcome bonuses. Some places do $50 or more free play for new players and they’ll throw in a free meal with it. Club One downtown (circa, the D, golden gate) has restaurant partners you can spend your comp dollars at. It’s a good rewards program if you like to gamble and like fremont street more than the strip.
>>2733106This is a terrific response. Cheers anon
For me it’s Ultimate X. Check it out if you’re a fan of video poker and volatility. Had more big comebacks on this game than any other. Easy to pile up player points when you’re betting $5-$12.50 per hand. Pic related. Hit this for over $1000 after getting rinsed for nearly an hour
>entire /trv/ board prefers old town vegas to the stripevery opinion ITT disregarded
Going back to Vegas last year for a Bachelor Party, first time I'll go without family around. My friends likely want to stay most of the time on the Strip so what are the must-do stupid tourist things to do that won't destroy my wallet?
>>2735205>reddit spacing
>>2733452>>2733472>It is up to each state whether it wants weed legal or not.It's legally complicated at this time. It's illegal at the federal level but legal in certain states; people in states where its legal can still get in trouble with their jobs because of this, unlike with alcohol. It was to the point where previous administrations, the Obama one being the last one, actually raided legal weed stores and arrested employees and owners. Federal prohibition could possibly be struck down and have it truly legalized on a state by state basis, which is exactly what happened when PASPA, signed in 1992, a law making sports betting illegal nationwide, was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2018, and sports betting was legalized on a state by state basis afterwards, as per picrel.
>>2736551>We stayed at the Excalibur one night and the nogs next to us were blasting music at full volume all night.It sucks that the cheesy old casinos/hotels have gotten like that. I enjoy the kitsch, and it's sad to see the old places getting torn down or getting lost to the riffraff
>>2736551>I actually got Travelocity to refund the costCool post proof. (he's not gonna post proof cause he's a little larp bitch, lots of really pathetic losers on this site)
>>2735205lmao you are a shook, rattled little bitch.
>>2737480>>entire /trv/ board prefers old town vegas to the stripNot true at all.
>>2737883>>2737885nigga showed up three weeks late lmao
>>2735205>The books are fun if you like sports betting but it seems like anything is now an excuse to charge for seating.Which sportsbooks charge for seating? None tht I've ever been to (and I've stayed at nicer properties than you)
This seems like an imposter Vegas schizo. Not sure it’s the OG
>>2736516Also>don’t gamble drunk. It’s fine to have a drink or two while you play, but you’ll lose 5x more if you’re hammered
>>2736516>the strip where it’s half a mile between property entrancesWhy is it like that anyway?
>>2737938It encourages the lazier people to not go to the other businesses (especially in the summer heat) and spend all their money at that one resort.
>>2737883I lived in Vegas for 2 years. I still have friends there and I visit 2 times a year. I've stayed in around 20 of the hotels on the strip. If you complain about a room, they can move you to a new room 99 percent of the time. Walk down to the front desk and ask in person. I've moved plenty of times for different reasons, bad smells, noise, dirty rooms, broken AC, loud neighbors, people smoking. Those hotels have 100's of rooms. There's always plenty of other rooms available unless it's like New Years or some insane event.
I’m at the tail end of a Vegas trip and my advice is to avoid gambling altogether. Casinos exist for a reason. Spend your money on experiences, not gambling
>>2737946It's shitty but it makes sense
>>2737976Cool bro all you had to do was post a screencap of the refund. But you didn't. So kys.
>>2738151Rude
>>2738151Elliot Roger vibes from this dude.
>>2737050played this several times and get killed every time. too volatile for me
>>2735286I know I've been mongering too long when I immediately understood youre asking how to get prostitutes
Are the admin offices in DT generally open 24 hours? I got a bunch of coupons for free play but wasn't planning to go DT until early evening. They expire at the end of the year so I want to redeem as many as I can.
>>2740558Admin offices? Like the player's club? Look up whatever casino you have free play for, it will list the player's club hours on the site. Usually it's something like 8am to 1am
>>2737050Agree with >>2739597 ultimate X is too volatile. You either make multiple quads or you get destroyed. My fav VP variety is super times pay or old fashioned jacks or better progressive. Still never made a royal flush despite playing tens of thousands of hands lifetime
>>2739243Watch out. He went to a UFC fight a decade ago and has some candid photos of Dana White milling around Bellagio.
>>2740830you sound like a little bitch who has never been comped seats this close to the ice
