Oh, also, I don't know if that GM thingy is open where you can go test drive some cars on their road and offroad course. It opened just after I was there last so I've never done it, but it should be fun for car enthusiasts. You could also rent a ferrari, viper, etc (they rent S2000s too!! ) for a day and take turns thrashing it. Definitely check out the car exhibit/museum at the Imperial Palace (its broken up in to a couple parts). Some great cars there
I found this: http://www.vegas.com/about/releases/thedrive.html

but I can't find anything else...does anyone know if it's still going on there? We're going in May for a week (renting a house with a pool, BBQ & a GARAGE so we're driving!...a lot cheaper than hotels!)

Looks like it would be fun!

Keep in mind, prostitution is 100% ILLEGAL in Las Vegas.. not that that stops anyone.
This is a common misconception. Prostitution is not legal in Vegas; it is legal only in those brothels way the hell out in the desert. I think most are about 20 miles away from the actual city limits, not sure .

This is due to old mining laws that have never been changed, even though there isn

I was in Vegas last weekend and had the greatest time. Be sure to hit up some clubs while you're there. Tao on thurs, Tryst on friday, Pure on Saturday. If you want to avoid line ups and cover, have baller status, and have fine fine fine women approaching you all night, be sure to do bottle service each night. Pricey but WELL worth it.

I have not been to any of the strip clubs in Vegas, but hear most of the bachelor party attendees recommend Crazy Horse II.

There is a service road behind the strip hotels and before the freeway (Ceasar's, Bellagio side) that has about 4 or five strip clubs. Never been to any but this road makes a great route when the strip is gummed up.

Hard Rock and clubs at Palms are the cheesy hook up spots. Plenty of easy women there.

If you are looking to do stuff during the day you can always rent a Ferrari and act like a baller.

Those stupid VIP passes that cabbies sell absolutely do not work.. don't waste your time or money.
Actually most worked quite well when I went earlier this year. Most of the one's I got were free from people walking on the streets. I got into Pure, Light, and Tryst for free and had to pay $10 to get into Tao. Not a bad deal. Thats if your planning on going to some real clubs (and i suggest getting there early, the lines get huge at 11pm or so).

As far as gambling goes all the hotels have anything you need. The Bellagio (sp?) probably has the nicest tables around and the quickest drink staff (but for little ballers like me it's hard to find a $10 or less min. table). If your looking for cheap drinks without having to gamble on the strip I suggest O'Sheas. It's right next to the Imperial Palce and Flamingo (I think). They have an 18 hour happy hour where draft beer is only a dollar. But besides that it's kind of a dive (that's why it became our second home out there). I can't give you any advise on strip clubs, as a few of my friends ran out of $$ before we could go to one. But that'll be the next trip.

Besides that just walk around and explore....If you can't find something fun in Vegas then your either dead or just really boring.

Ok I should have worded that differently.. I didn't imply that my context was important. A lot of people think if you buy one of those passes or get one for free, you're going to get escorted to the front of a long line and get free entry. When the line is really long, my experience tells me the pass will do nothing for you, not even get you in for free if you wait forever in line. When you gained free entry, were there long lines?

If you want to get into Tao and the line is around the atrium thing and maybe down the stairs, you can make dinner reservations and get into the lower bar level for free & without waiting in line.. you can try to sneak up to the 'club' section too, but it might not even be worth it you still get to gawk at the nude women in the bath tubs along the entrance

If you want cheap tables, head to the Imperial Palace.. $3 during the day of course, you will regret playing here if you walk out with $100 in winnings.. think about the outcome if you were at a $25 table.

I'm not saying those "VIP" passes get you to the front of the line or mean your VIP at all once you get in, but if you get the right one's you don't have to pay a cover (they still make up for it with the $10-15 drinks inside). At Light, Pure, and Tryst there were no gimmicks, each pass got one person in free. Tao it was free for ladies and $10 for guys. When we went to a club we left early at got there at opening so the lines were never too bad, the longest being for Pure, and thats because it was on Saturday night. It took us about 45 minutes to get in.

I would have liked to do the bottle service, but damn was it expensive. I forget which club had a price of $1500 for a table and 1 bottle. That's more than i spent for the entire 5 day trip...


But enough about clubs (not my scene anyways), the fact that nothing closes and you can drink out on the streets means if your there for 2 days...your going to drunk for about 45 of them. Just go out there get drunk, and see where the world takes you.
