Has anyone been to Club Rain at the Palms? Link The yelp reviews look great and I'm really into Electronic Music. Paul Oakenfold hosts the concerts from time to time. For those that have been here, how did you like it? Are there any other places that are into Electronic Music?

Pieces posted:The events calender (http://www.marqueelasvegas.com/events/) for Marquee is full of big name house & trance artists on every Friday / Saturday night. January's lineup includes Gabriel & Dresden, Nicky Romero, Dash Berlin, Dirty South, Gareth Emery, W&W and more. Virtually all of the top DJs will visit and play in Vegas over the year, there is definitely no shortage of electronic music now that it's blown up in North America. Hell yes! Thanks a bunch.

What's the best or the best sushi/asian restaurants in Vegas? I'm in Venetian and went to the local one (assuming there isn't more than one, this place is huge) either way I wasn't impressed but the Noodle Asia was pretty legit. If anyone has any recommendations near the strip that would be great. Not sure if it's just me being jet-lagged but is the Venetian geared more towards a older crowd? Everyone has quite a few years on me which is fine but if I ever came here for fun I'd pick a different hotel. EDIT - Re-read the thread, I think I know where good Sushi is...

I was in Vegas for IBM Enterprise 2014 and my first time actually in the city. I'm pretty introverted, took one too many statistics classes in college which eliminates most enjoyment you'd get out slot machines although poker is an exception. Even if you're not gambling it's still a fun place. The shows, food, events are extraordinarily well done. Even the small indie bands you've never heard of playing at the small casino bars are very talented. You also have museums, car shows, all sorts of random events, etc Don't even dare set foot in this town without money or if you're impulsive. This place will rob you blind - leave the ATM Card in the hotel room. I'd budget at least grand for a few days but more is way better. Granted, you can get a little creative pre-game in your hotel room, play slots for free drinks but expect a minimum of $10 a drink and more in actual clubs. If you have a group of good looking female friends, this equals instant and free access to any club. That all said, Vegas is the place where you instantly become modern royalty. With nearly everyone on vacation it's brings out a great vibe out everyone. I almost thinks this was even the best part but a different part of me sees the bad side. You can say all you want about how energy efficient the casino lighting is but that doesn't change the fact I'm flying half-way across the country to a city in a desert where AC is blasting 24/7 and the local economy is based upon people slowly being con'd out of their money. I'm sure Vegas will be around for the next few decades but who knows what'll happen after but I'm going to enjoy the fun while it lasts.

Mordecai Sanchez posted:What are some of the best bars on the strip that provide somewhat of a club-like atmosphere? By club-like, I don’t necessarily mean loud DJs and lights, but like a fun, modern place with lots of 20/30 somethings NOT packed liked sardines. I’ve only been to Vegas once so The Chandelier at Cosmo is what comes to mind, for example, but I'll listen to any recommendations. I sort of get what you're saying and I wish there was a better resource for this. I stayed at the Venetian and while it's a nice place it's not necessarily geared towards 20-30s. Most of the guests are "old money". Hopefully, someone who's been to Vegas could chime in here...

FaceEater posted:Are you staying at Cosmo? Cause you'll get into the club there for free. I was there for 3 nights last time, and 2 of the nights we'd already been downtown at some bars (Laundry Room, Griffin) and decided to have our nightcap at Marquee. And it was fun. And free (to get in)! Is this unique to the Cosmo? I've only stayed in Vegas once but I keep hearing that most clubs have a cover if you're just a random dude.

Probably the weirdest thing I've ever experienced is stumbling down Fremont among dozens of other drunk tourists in a midst of smoke in nearly running into a baby in a strollers who's parent was also intoxicated.

Scrot Eel posted:I think Las Vegas is the last of the huge markets that Uber hasn't been able to get into. The taxi lobby in Nevada is one of the biggest and most powerful in the country. Eventually Uber will be big enough to out-lobby ( aka out-bribe) the politicians. Heh, Uber would definitely clean up cabs in Vegas. It seems that customer service or basic vehicle cleanliness isn't required to be a cabbie but if they're working for uber its going to more hustle on your side job. On another note, I've heard Vegas is heavily unionized - cabs, hospitality, dealers, bartenders. How accurate is this?

MrChupon posted:I've always been pretty happy with it when I'm licking my gambling wounds at 4am at the Venetian. But I'm not sure if I've had enough exposure to less Americanized Chinese food to know where it really lies. The review sites seem to think its mediocre, but its hard to pick out the people who went in there expecting like General Tso's Chicken and came out disappointed. It's not as greasy as your typical "Americanized" Chinese Food whatever. It's higher-quality Panda Express if anything.

Downtown is a bit more raw than the strip and cheaper. I'd vote staying on the strip and cabing downtown for a few hours.

Cascadia Pirate posted:Flights are usually around $150 round. When I was in college there was a super cheap discount carrier that was even less but I couldn't afford to travel back then. I don't remember what the mirage was last time I stayed but there are lots of dirt cheap places. That's what I'm hitting out of smaller city with 150k but if I lived major city I've seen flights for less than $100.

Baddog posted:Speaking of which, definitely seems like Vegas kind of shot itself in the foot by promoting itself as this "shows/food/clubs/drinks/pools/loving" place instead of being all about gambling. Vegas has been promoting itself as "fun" destination a few years now. Celebrity Daytime Pool Parties are now top grossing entertainment venue. Peaking at the report those numbers might seem scary but in the business world it's just another loss leader and the entertainment companies make it up with bars, clubs, restaurants, events, etc

If someone in thread where to mention it took too long to get their Burger King Whopper, I'm sure someone would chime in that they "know a guy" who will get you ahead. Baddog posted:Its a loving grind to count solo for rent money, you aren't gonna get rich. Team play is where the big money is at, but then you have to deal with other assholes. Exactly. One player sits at the table, bets the minimum, signals to their buddy the count is good and they throw down hardcore. It's not the 1980s anymore, rules have changed lowering a players odds and variance high. The MIT Blackteam nearly fell apart because of how huge the swings were but managed. I ran into a few guys whom actually successfully accomplished this in North, South Dakota but gaming commission sent their photos to all the casinos and they're banned from playing.

Thanks for the awfully detailed replies. I'm in a City of about 100k at 30, I want to badly leave and while Vegas isn't my first choice it is however surprisingly affordable. If I don't gamble - aside from poker - or party too hard what's it like living in the City? Are there walkable areas aside from just the Strip or would I able to get an apartment near a bunch of bars/restaurants? Would the city even exist without the Casinos? And heat doesn't bother me.

Craptacular! posted:If you want to drink at bars and walk home, I'd suggest you live downtown. Check out The Ogden or Juhl. Downtown was home to a rough crowd a decade ago that was trying to resist the gentrification of their neighborhood by wealthier people through burglaries and high crime that would drive them away. In recent years a few monolithic condo towers were built, the Zappos CEO has been throwing money into a flaming wastebin to gentrify it into a dot-com hipster bar zone for his employees/cult followers, and the police have become far more aggressive about relocating any scruffy-looking patrons further down Fremont to the part where the drugs and prostitution dens are still rampant. If money was no object the first I'd take up residence would be Odgen or Juhl but I'd say my initial budget is about $1k month but it seems that can be done in the area. Curious, what's the local take on the Zappo's CEO? From your tone it doesn't seem like his investment has paid off in the slightest.

Capt. Sticl posted:Depends on the company. As far as I know Wynn drug tests every single hire. But, keep in mind that in most hotels the restaurants / shops / etc. are just renting space. The employees of those outlets are not always employees of the casino itself. I know several restaurants in the Venetian do not drug test for employment. Any idea on IT Departments?
