Going to vegas Mon-Wed

How much are you planning to spend.

Pools should be open

 

Marquee @ Cosmo on Monday night
Hyde @ Bellagio on Tuesday night
$3 craps at Casino Royale
Drink beer at the pool
Delmonico and STK are my favorite steak places there
There's a new Hash House inside the old imperial palace, open 24 hrs

 

i noticed you purposely left some places off the list

 

fyi, it should be pretty crowded there this week. NAB tradeshow is this week.

 

Well we can't be giving away all of the good spots.

 

i enjoyed the Beatles and Michael Jackson cirque shows

I've place a bet on your not coming back at 50-1.

 

Absinthe was a pretty good show that we saw at Cesars last time we went.

I don't think you going to find any free rooms, and if you did it would not be a place you would want to stay. I have stayed at the Palazzo the last few time I have gone and that place is great- would highly recommend.

 

you can get free rooms anytime is vegas. but it depends on what you play and how much. and definitely can't be a straight hit and run player. btw poker doesn't accumulate comp pts well at all so if that's the only thing you plan on playing, you probably won't get offered any free rooms.

 

are you going with friends only? gf? vegas has something to do for everyone depending on the reason you're going. couples trips their are completely different then going with your friends haha.

 

vegas on a weekday?! what are you, 65yrs old? Hah!

 

some of the day pool parties i believe are now open. encore beach club check it out if you can.

 

Where are you staying?

 

In Las Vegas, this hardly matters. Unless you're doing it wrong.

 

If you're a club kid it matters, or if you want to see a popular show that takes off early in the week. That's about the only difference. You'll find places that are open but not the popular clubs, and you might run into an off night with a big show like Love, or O.

I actually prefer early in the weekdays, but I've kind of been there done that with the shows and clubs. Especially in the Summer when I can actually get a spot at the pool. Getting a spot at the 5 dollar tables at NYNY is a perk of coming early in the week as well.

That would be one thing I would recommend to newbies who are going longer than 24 hours. You really need that time to go to the pool and relax for a second. If not you'll get burnt out on the strip quick after the first day 1/2.

Also... cabs are your friend. Budget that in. The next hotel might look close but its freaking far, and you'll kill yourself physically if you try to walk the entire strip during the day.

 

This is VERY true, we used to walk a lot but now seem to do more and more cabs each year we go.

 

It kinda sucks that your first time in Vegas with friends is gonna come on a weekday. Is there any particular reason you planned it like that? The only reason I say that is because it's your first time. You haven't been to any clubs or pools when they're really popping on weekends. That's an experience in and of itself.

 

I think a Thursday - Sunday trip is perfect for Vegas...3 nights is my max!
