By the way the best Thai restaurant in North America (and therefore outside of Thailand) is in Vegas. Lotus of Siam is really one of Vegas's culinary powerhouses. I wrote a long rear end review of it in the archived General Vegas thread mentioned in the OP if anyone wants to fish it out and repost it in here for me. Unlike the rest of Vegas's dining stars Lotus is also very reasonably priced, though it is located in a strip mall instead of a casino.

There are lots of great Thai restaurants in Vegas, (maybe because a sister city is Phuket) but I feel like I have to mention that in THE SAME shady strip mall is another awesome Thai restaurant called Komol. Not the same selection as Lotus of Siam, but equally great food, and incredibly vegan friendly for people who are into that. When Lotus is going to take an hour to seat you, try bouncing across the parking lot to Komol instead.

edit: I'll totally agree with that review. Hit Lotus for what the other Thai places don't offer

I'll be in Vegas next month, and I'm planning to visit some off-Strip casinos (specifically Sam's Town, Green Valley Ranch, the Stations, and Orleans). I'd rather not deal with the headache of renting a car, so is it possible/recommended to take the bus to all these places? Or would I be stuck paying out the rear end for cab fare?

Those casinos are pretty spread out, you'd spend more of your trip on the bus or more of your money on cabs than anywhere else. I think a rental car would be worth the investment if you're set on seeing all of those places

ATM fees in the casino are a minimum of $5. I've seen as high as $10 in strip clubs.

More like 10% at strip club ATMs

Also thought it might be worthwhile to ask for recommendations for any particular food at Lotus of Siam. I'm going to try and have lunch there but my usual Thai food order is Pad Thai and I'd like to branch out.

I'm a big fan of the Khao Soi. It's pretty delicious and, unlike pad thai, it isn't easy to find at other Thai restaurants

a soup-like dish made with a mix of deep-fried crispy egg noodles and boiled egg noodles, pickled cabbage, shallots, lime, ground chillies fried in oil, and meat in a curry-like sauce containing coconut milk. The curry is somewhat similar to that of yellow or massaman curry but of a thinner consistency. It is popular as a street dish eaten by Thai people in northern Thailand, though not frequently served in Thai restaurants abroad.

Me & the girlfriend are going to be in town Dec 26-30th. The 3 djs playing that we are interested in seeing during our time there are Steve Aoki the 28th @ Surrender, Calvin Harris the 29th @ Surrender, and Kaskade the 29th @ Marquee.

I see on both Surrender's and Marquee's websites they offer pre-sale vip tickets to these events. Are those the best way to ensure getting into those sets or is there a another way? I'm assuming it works like a normal concert but then I read about standing in line and getting on guest lists and I'm unsure - We've never done the Vegas clubbing scene before.

Usually if you buy tickets in advance you won't have to deal with all that poo poo. I know at Marquee there is a separate line for ticket holders
