I've been here since around 12:30 PM local time and I love it so far. It's super hot and we're on foot/taxi for the week. The closest landmark to the condo complex I'm in is the Tuscany.

There's also the Fashion Show Mall on the strip if you wanna go shopping. You might wanna ask someone who's above the age of 21, since the opinion of a 17 y/o kind of limits you. 34681 Post 2009-05-31T19:28:31-04:00 995321 5474 2009-05-31T19:33:57-04:00 <blockquote><cite>thebutcher said:</cite> queue Christian.</blockquote> Anything you want to do, you can do in this city, and then some. What type of stuff are you leaning towards? clubs? bars? shows? naked men/women? site seeing? adventure? pool/pool party? I unfortunately know way too much about the city. Let me know and I'll recommend some things. 34681 Post 2009-05-31T19:32:07-04:00 995391 2973 2009-05-31T19:32:07-04:00 Get married, that's what I did. LOL, for real tho go see LOVE if you can. Even if you're not a Beatle's fan. Mindblowing! 34681 Post 2009-05-31T20:28:57-04:00 995931 1498 2009-05-31T20:30:14-04:00 Here's a few specifics: I'm going with a friend who has an apartment "5 minutes from the Palms." We won't have a car meaning I'll be on foot as much as possible. He won a satellite tournament online for a seat in an event so he'll be grinding at the tables for most of the trip. I'm not a fan of strip clubs. I am over 21. Thanks for everything so far guys, hopefully the above narrows (or broadens) your range of suggestions for me. 34681 Post 2009-05-31T20:47:33-04:00 996151 5537 2009-05-31T20:47:33-04:00 <blockquote><cite>William. said:</cite> Here's a few specifics: I'm going with a friend who has an apartment "5 minutes from the Palms."

It’s incredible. They actually have a deal on tickets going on right now too. See the attached pic at the bottom. Buy the cheap seats. The show is better at the top anyways since it’s such a tiny theater. The #1 thing you must do in town is go to the MGM and play the Horse Races game. Caleb GK can attest to the awesomeness. Basically you bet on 5 plastic horses than run around in a circle(way cooler than it sounds). It gets rowdy and crowded. You can sit there for hours on $20 worth of quarters. Do this. It’s a must. If you’re close to the Palms, you’re also close to the Rio. Rio has one of the better pools in town as well as in my opinion the best all you can eat/all you can drink champagne buffet. Take advantage of this. Voodoo Lounge at the Rio at night is also a good time. Way better than Ghost Bar and most of what The Palms has to offer. Make sure to hit up O’Sheas on the strip(in between Flamingo and Imperial Palace). $5 tables, cheap drinks if you’re not gambling, beer pong in the back as well as a midget leprechaun that cruises around the bar with a whistle and pours booze down your throat every half hour. New York New York has two of my favorite bars in town. Nine Fine Irishman is a great Irish pub and The Bar at Times Square has dueling pianos every night. Enjoy some beers and shout out your favorite tunes. Always have had a blast at both of them. Lastly, if you’re looking for great restaurants... The Eifel Tower restaurant at Paris is probably my favorite. Quite expensive though. Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill is a more affordable but equally as awesome meal. And Monte Carlo Brew Pub if you like lots of beer. You can order 5 foot tall 5 liter beers to share for the table. They are fantastic.

Their office building & success story is mindblowing, and they have an awesome, very exciting tour that you can go on.

It's so good. I usually end up at this table for hours. The louder you yell at your horses, the better they do(not really, but it makes for a much better time. see photo). I've only seen the 200 quarter horses pay off once. A bunch of us hit on 108 quarter horses last time I was there. I think I may have some video of the ponies. I'll try and find it. <img src="http://photos-b-9.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs037.snc1/2418_1105180784036_1062269905_354041_3477955_n.jpg" /> 34681 Post 2009-06-01T14:50:22-04:00 1007181 2973 2009-06-01T14:50:22-04:00 I think I have to do that at least once. 34681 Post 2009-06-01T15:18:52-04:00 1007581 5537 2009-06-01T15:18:52-04:00 I've arrived. 34681 Post 2009-06-02T19:23:27-04:00 1028451 5537 2009-06-02T19:23:27-04:00 FUUUUUU I was in vegas over new years, never saw that Horse racing game and I spent alot of time in the MGM 34681 Post 2009-06-02T20:25:00-04:00 1029081 7920 2009-06-02T20:25:00-04:00 some video of the Horse Races at MGM.
