Announce your Vegas dates here.
Quote: mcallister3200Flamingo also arguably has the most hookers per capita trolling around, so they got that going for them.
I wonder why not the high end casinos, like the Wynn or Venetian.
There's some chippies in my trunk (-;Quote: lildevilLucyGoing tomorrow till sunday I will be on every pool party I can :)

Chippie parties!!! We may need a trip report on this one with lots of photos.
Quote: NYSithBe in Vegas from the 25th to the 30th of July, staying at the Cosmopolitan. My daughter is celebrating her 21st birthday and wanted to go there with her boyfriend. Is the Gondola ride at the Venetian something they would like or is it cheesy? Anyone ever done it?
It's something she would like more than him, but it is something that should be done as a couple. They will try to sell you a souvenir photo package. If you are going perhaps scope out the route and try to get a picture of them with your phone or something over one of the bridges if that is something they want instead. It's a little overpriced IMO, but what else do you expect in a tourist trap like the strip?
By the way, I was the oldest of 4 growing up and my father took us each to Las Vegas for our 21st birthday although my trip was a couple months after my 21st (stupid college not accommodating my schedule) but it is something all four of us have remembered ever since, and talking to my father, all four of the trips were different in their own way that was to the specific person's liking. Mine, we spent more time gambling, and going around town finding those $6.99 steak dinners where we would play a little video poker at the bar afterwards, my sister's was more about hanging out at the pool and my two younger brothers was more about the golf. What I would advise is that since it is for her, let her set the itinerary, if you even do that sort of thing. Also, since it is for her 21st birthday, let any restaurants know that you are there celebrating her birthday, many times they will give you a dessert or something like that on the house.
Quote: zippyboyThis date is coming up soon, and I just bought a GoPro Hero4 Black series to document some fun activities. Planning to head out to race a Lamborghini around the track at the speedway for $300 for 5 laps, and take the Sky Jump off the Stratosphere for $120 wearing the camera. Anyone think of anything else fun to film?
Pretty dumb and totally expected that they won't let you film yourself. Were I you I'd skip the Strat jump and put that money plus the track cash on a rental. Think you can get a 458 for about $100 an hour, or a McLaren for a bit more. 4-6 hours is plenty of time to get out of the city and find a fun road, and then you can film yourself doing whatever you want.
Just remember what "GoPro" translates to on the street - "Evidence". Don't f@$! up =)

My wife and I have asked her and her boyfriend what they'd like to do and usually I get a shrug and, "I don't know". I've seen a few things mentioned in the Forum, like the "Countdown Escape", but she hasn't given an indication if she is interested. I know we're getting her a birthday cake from Jean Philippe's at the Aria and plan on sneaking it back into the Cosmo since "outside food" isn't allowed. I appreciate the tip about letting the restaurants know it's her birthday. I kind of think she's going to ditch my wife and I and go do stuff with her boyfriend which is fine by me. I'm trying to convince her that a pizza from the "Hidden Pizzeria" at the Cosmo along with the cake would be the best birthday dinner ever, but she's not buying it. I won't encourage gambling, but if she wants to try any, I'll be on hand to give her some advice. I appreciate your advice, take it easy.
Quote: beachbumbabsGo upstairs in The D and play the horses for quarters.
Scratch this one. I think BBB may have had a brain freeze on this one. While Sigma Derby seems like a game suitable for kids and seems like something you might find in an arcade, it's a gambling games. Not only can kids not play, but I am not sure they can even get upstairs to watch. I guess maybe if you were on the way to the D grille, they can be upstairs, but thy aren't going to be allowed to even stand there and watch.

Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought this was a 21st birthday trip for the daughter (assumed, perhaps wrongly, that the boyfriend was of age as well). I was talking about 21 year olds (legal).

Oh! I didn't read the earlier posts. It sounded like you were describing activities for underage kids and when you said half adults, I assumed underage kids. My bad.

No biggie kewlj, I may not have typed something clearly in the earlier posts. The boyfriend is 25 turning 26 and my daughter is turning 21 on the day we arrive. They'll both be "legal" for most activities in Vegas so they should be able to find something to do. She'll just be showing her ID a lot, she doesn't look 21. I figure we'll hit a bunch of the tourist trap stuff like the neon sign graveyard, might even look into a helicopter tour for them. Then again, I had a lot of bad experiences in helicopters, that might not be a good idea.
Quote: beachbumbabsIt depends a lot on what kind of folks the 4 of you are
More suggestions:
I like going up to Red Rock Canyon, but of course depending on when you go, it can be craaaazy hot outside. Since it is on the West side of the city, you would need a car to get there. That could be combined with a breakfast or lunch at the Red Rock casino, which although it is a "locals" place, it has a very nice luxurious feel to it.
I have also always enjoyed the Mac King afternoon comedy/magic show at Harrah's.

When I came to Vegas for my 21st, I looked too young to be there. I think I weighed about 130 dripping wet at my 21st birthday, which is almost sickingly skinny for a 21 year old male. We stayed off strip, due to my wanting to gamble. The pit boss suggested I go to the cage, and they would give me a wristband showing I was 21, so I wouldn't be asked everywhere I went, or by multiple people while sitting at the same blackjack table.
To bad because your man usually hits half the strip clubs in town.Quote: lildevilLucyJajaja nope !!!

Jajajaja is not a secret anymore I guess Axel u are too funny
Aaaaww such a cute strip club name we both always see it on our way back home :)
Really? I went to OG with a group of girls. It was years ago. It was upstairs where the men danced. They said It was kind of ceedy and not like they expected. They didn't stay upstairs long before they came downstairs where the girls stripped, I think they had a much better time. Perhaps they have upgraded since.Quote: NYSithDon't know about the "Thunder Down Under", but a friend of mine and his wife said OG wasn't very nice.

I thought about that and I asked the Concierge if they would do something like that for my daughter, but they said the security office doesn't do anything like that. They recommended keeping a drivers license or passport handy and basically just deal with it.

No sir, they said it was still sort of dingy and seedy. My friend said a cab driver recommended it because he went with his wife and another couple and the location had male upstairs and the females downstairs. His story was basically the same as yours, the ladies joined them downstairs because they didn't like it upstairs. They gave the place a thumbs down. In the movies, the strip clubs in Vegas are always these polished high end looking joints. Guess that's not true,...

They do that for me all the time ask @Rogerkint all I have to do is wear a wristband to show I'm over 21. Otherwise is super annoying be showing my ID everywhere, plus I take a higher chance to drop it somewhere.

I'll give the Cosmo a call again and see if they'll entertain the idea, the last time I asked they said no. :(
Quote: speedycrapSome casinos will give you a STAMP on your hand.
I've never seen them do that at the casino we'll be staying at for her birthday, but it would make sense if they did.
There are some high end strip clubs, there's also very low end ones as well. Unless they have VP at the bar, its to expensive for drinks.Quote: NYSithNo sir, they said it was still sort of dingy and seedy.

Quote: speedycrapSome casinos will give you a STAMP on your hand.
I got sick of being carded at xyz casino, they have security posted at the entrance so i got stamped every time. It was really bad at hard rock for a while, i think they got busted for underage gambling beofre the heavy id checking happened.
In AC at the GN, they did actually freak me out last year. My GF hit a hand-pay, so I went to secure the money. She was playing solo for about 20 minutes, as I was walking back up to her. I hear security talking on the radio. saying, "Is that her". Suddenly as he approached her, I hear "OK WE NEED TO SEE SOME ID." It was not the typical age check situation, especially with 2 of them. But, It was just an ID check.
I asked the security if the guys watching the cameras are actually looking for under age gamblers? He said, yes when the club is busy.
Anyway, I am going to be in town very, very close to now until a time not so close to now.

The easy way to keep this going in a logical manner is for people with upcoming trips to copy and paste the list above inserting name and dates.
Quote: Mission146Would you suggest that the dates must be firm in order to post dates in this thread? I know I am coming in December, and I have a four day spread for both my Arrival Date and my Departure date.
I don't think so, maybe put tentative next to the date
I always take the last 2 weeks off from work every year and plan a Vegas trip.
Tentative dates may help a member plan a trip such as a member see's Mission will be in Vegas and wants to meet him.
On the flip side, a suspended or nuked member may want to stalk you.
