MMD3 posted:this is awesome info, thank you! glad to hear the atomic test museum and mob museum are both worth checking out, Good Mexican food recommendations are always appreciated too as is a great burger. If you head downtown, check out The Plaza. They remodeled it. And now the art district is booming which is pretty cool. Speaking of good Mexican. Mundo, which is located in the World Market Center is amazing. Best shrimp tamale ever and a bunch of other great dishes and a fantastic mojito. Nice spot to go at night and have dinner outside.

Kase Im Licht posted:Suggestions for clubs? I think the main thing is we don't want to wait in line forever, and I don't know that we can do bottle service. I know one friend would be okay with it, and one would not (he's very cheap), and I don't know the other teammates we're meeting up with, or if we're even hanging out with them. Somewhere with enough girls that we'll be able to dance with them, music doesn't matter too much, and we're staying at the Trop but pretty willing to walk or cab wherever. We can dress up however, we've got everything from shorts to suits. Best nights for going out are probably Friday or Sunday. Maybe Monday. Well you're hosed. It's the busiest weekend of the year and cover charges will be well over $100

And stopping all carnival rides and ALL the music across the entire festival...holy poo poo. I was with one of my biggest customers, he's calling AMEX and filing for a chargeback for both days...To the tune of around $60k. Every table there will probably be doing the same, and not to mention the 100,000+ people who should ask for a refund.

Huge_Midget posted:Can anyone comment if Bouchon would be an acceptable restaurant to take my wife for our second anniversary? We are both foodies, so if there are any other fine dining suggestions I'd be open to them. I just read about é by Jose Andres, but I doubt I'd get a reservation on a week's notice, plus that whole $700 check thing. Bouchon is just alright. I'd highly recommend Milos, Bartolotta, or Picasso. I think Picasso, table with a fountain view or on the patio is the stones for a romantic dinner.

Old Man Pants posted:Which as a dj who has dedicated my last 10 years to EDM and haven't heard of this happening besides this garbage "VIP is complaining about the DJ" is still bullshit. Mansion in miami pulled this same trash recently too. Its trying to homogenize dance music and make an artist compromise his art over money. If you somehow managed to get banksy to do a graffiti live show, and the people attending said "made him paint landscapes or I am leaving" people who were fans of the artist would have a right to be pissed too. The problem with your analogy is that you're assuming people are going there to see that DJ. If you're paying a DJ $30k and you have a guy who has spend $2mill+ in the club that year. It's a pretty simple business decision on who to cater to. People who are fans of the artist have a right to be pissed, club owners have a right to operate their venue however they want. If the overwhelming majority of the people are unhappy with the music being played, it's time for a change of pace. I couldn't give to shits about EDM so my unbiased opinion is coming from a logical business standpoint. You might piss of the hardcore fan who paid $50 for his admission or spent $200pp on his table, but the guy dropping $10k+ most likely doesn't care who is spinning unless it's Kaskade, Tiesto, Calvin Harris, or Deadmau5.

As an adult, I rarely share a hotel room with anyone. Unless absolutely necessary, that's just me. I'd look at Tropicana and Planet Hollywood as well. Also, Rumor, Artisan, and like Sam's Town or somethin? Maybe downtown? I guess downtown would be good for a budget trip. I don't get the allure of coming to Vegas with little to no money to spend for a bachelor party. Drinks are more expensive, strippers aren't cheap, rooms during Spring Break until the end of Summer aren't cheap. And partying even remotely properly should cost you a couple hundred dollars a person per night. Hell, I'm trying to talk my insanely rich friend into planning his bachelor party in Montreal or somewhere in Texas.

Old Man Pants posted:Unless the hotel has some sort of infestation or outbreak even staying in a kind of crappy hotel shouldn't ruin your vegas trip. The only time I am ever in my room there is to sleep/shower/change. If you wanna go someplace with a nice hotel to relax in, you could do a lot better for the money than Vegas. I dunno about you, but if I bang a girl, I want it to not be in a shithole hotel room on a twin bed. I also enjoy rooms where I can't hear my neighbor banging his wife/girlfriend/one night stand/whore if possible. Not to mention the hotel itself. I dunno about you, but I like a hotel that has a decent selection of restaurants, perhaps a bar that isn't infested with toothless patrons (this is not age specific, plenty of meth heads at Bill's and Imperial Palace). Somewhere I might actually enjoy spending part of my day. Or a hotel accompanied by a decent poker room.

jabro posted:Also, this is for his parents. I'm sure they don't want to be staying in the rooms at the Quad. That was fine when you're 22 and looking to stay cheap as possible but if you're over 30 and looking at $20 hotel rooms then you might want to look at other destinations. Well, everything beyond the first sentence of my statement stands. Because, you know, our parents don't have sex. I put my parents at the Vdara when they come to town. Wynn/Encore is a more Vegas option followed by Venetian/Palazzo, and then Bellagio and lastly Four Seasons.

This is not the first or even 10th time in Vegas for most of us, but we were largely just stuck to the same places. Do NOT go to Hash House A GoGo. Lotus is great food, but I dunno about for a bachelor party. Musashi, Yellowtail, Culinary Dropout, Jaleo, Gordon Ramsay PUB, American Fish, Nobu, and Firefly are all good options. I'd even consider Andrea's or Botero.

We are meeting a bunch of friends downtown on Monday, so I am also looking for some recommendations of fremont bars, Insert Coin was fun last time i was there but they seem to be closed on Mondays. Zumanity sucks, switch that poo poo for Absinthe or La Reve or Zarkana. Downtown check out Commonwealth, The Griffin, Beauty Bar, Downtown Cocktail, and Don't Tell Mama. All of them are on the same block. Hit the Glitter Gulch for some toothless/old stripper action.

For a 25 year old girls birthday party would you pick beauty bar over the others? I dunno, I'm a fan of The Griffin, but I'm not a 25 year old girl. They're literally all on the same block, so you can just walk 50 feet to the next one. Commonwealth is probably the nicest of all the bars downtown though.
