    If it has #2, then it's also #1. Unless things have changed, gambling is open to the public...you just have to tell them you're there to gamble. As for pools that have this, I think The Palms does it on and off, and so does Mandalay Bay. I don't think any one casino does is all year long.

    Post 499, bottom of previous page:
    Have you been to The ACT at Palazzo when it was open? Sort of like that, except this one has a revolving 360 stage with a show on each side.

    Does anyone know how Charlie Palmer Steak's steak compares to Prime at the Bellagio or SW Steakhouse at the Wynn? It seems like a good value, but I'm not sure about the quality.

    prime is the best out of all
    of these. sw steakhouse is good if you want I enjoy an outside show.

    smith and wollensky on the strip is actually pretty legit too.

    this sounds too high class, prefer places where it's friendly and down to earth, hell even off the strip

    I was just interested in Charlie Palmer Steak's Cut of the Week deal, which was an appetizer, main course, dessert, and an endless wine pairing for $48. I've been to Prime and SW Steakhouse, which is why I wanted to know how Charlie Palmer Steak's steak compared to the steak at Prime and SW Steakhouse. I've heard bad things about Smith and Wollensky, though.

    Thanks! Will give Caesar's a go first since it's close by and see how it goes. Mandalay has always been so restrictive, but I'll try the gambling angle

    I am assuming bottle service is going to be quite expensive?

    Somewhat. Buying 1 bottle probably isn't too bad but it also depends on how many people you have. Some clubs have a minimum of 1 bottle per X people, so depending on how many people you would possibly have to get more than one. This is the way to go if you have a semi large group though. in my opinion at least. I was at XS and Hyde a few months ago and our group got a section. It was incredibly packed so I liked that we had our own section and a place to sit/hangout.

    If not, I agree with the poster above that said spread out and don't be at the door in a group of 10 guys. Which clubs are you planning on going to?

    On a not special weekend or special weekday at Marquee:

    Roof Deck Patio - 350 (daybed) 700 (table) 1k-2k (cabana)
    Boom Box - 350 - 700
    Library - 350
    Main Room - 1.4k - 3k
    Prime Area Main Room - 4k+

    Bottle prices start at $350 and go up from there. Minimums are before 8.1% sales tax, 10% LET Tax and 20% gratuity for the waitress.
