Its official! Vegas here I come!

[namehater]

so today i booked our vacation to vegas, we will be spending sept 2 - sept 6 at the mgm grand, im SOOO excited!! we didnt book any activities, we are kinda just gonna wing it, anybody have any ideas that are 'must-dos' while we are there?

[Peench]

Awesome!! Wow, must-do's. Hm... there are more than a few really good shows out there that you could check out. Aside from gambling I'd recommend checking out what shows are playing and pick one that interests you. Last time we were out there we saw Louie Anderson. Talk about a blast from the past!

[N0W IM N0THING]

Any of the Circ De' Solie (sp) shows. I was a little hesitant as it was a 100$ a ticket, and I am not a show/play type person. After 10 minutes in I was like Holy shit this is awesome!! Go and check out the Stratosphere for the best view, and if you like to scare the crap out of yourself ride the Bigshot. Cruise through any hotels that interest you as each one offers some pretty cool exhibits and things to see. Bellagio, MGM and Ceasars come to mind. If your a fan of Italian metal there is a Ferrari Galary at the Wynn Hotel, no Enzo though as it sold two weeks before I was there for 1.2 mill if I remember correctly. There is a ton of stuff to do and see, if I think of more I'll post back

[namehater]

awesome, i had looked at some of the shows, i wasnt to impressed, im not much of a show person either and i was a little leery of the prices, maybe ill bite my lip and just go to at least one show, i think a magic show would be cool, anybody been to one of those?

we are also thinking about getting some ink work done down there, any advise on shops there?

[Peench]

Not sure on the ink shops, but Lance Burton is supposed to put on a pretty good show. One of my buddies is a magician and was always recommending I go check him out. I still haven't had a chance to do so yet tho!

[ZoomZoom71]

Never been to Vegas, but I'll 2nd the Cirque du Soleil shows. I saw La Nouba in Orlando, and it was INCREDIBLE. It's worth the $$.

[Desi Cuse]

Have fun namehater, for a second I thought you bought the game.

[BronxBomber]

the Cirque shows are very pricey but they are something you really should check out - they are amazing!
The only ones I haven't seen is the one at MGM Grand (KA) and the new Beetles themed show at the Mirage.
If that type of show is something you would see here is what I would recommend,

"O" at bellagio (acrobats mixed with water and diving stuff - really cool!!)

"Mystere" at Treasure Island ( more on the acrobatic side - cool and usually cheaper than "O")

"Zumanity" at New York New York ( more cabaret style show - VERY adult themed - really need to be open minded for this one. People are easily offended at this show.)

I worked as an entertainment supervisor for the "Zumanity" show for a while and we always had people walk out pissed off about the content.

One guy I always wanted to see is "The Amazing Johnathan" - Funny as Hell but not for everyone. You can find him on You Tube. I think he is still at the Shahara.

The Mirage has a cool Dolphin and Lion exhibit you should try and check out.

Sorry about the novel, but PM me if you want anymore info. Have fun, I miss it there.

If you want magic, go check out that new show with Pam Anderson and that dude she's "dating." I heard them on Stern, and it sounded pretty cool.

[namehater]

i talked to my wife about the shows, she just doesnt want to spend the money, but she does want to get some ink done, even if its just to touch up some of our current work, i think more than anything we are just trying to get ideas and opinions of everything there then once we walk around a little we will start deciding on what we are gonna actually do

[Peench]

That's often the best way to do it. Just cruise around and go see whatever floats your boat at the time!
