The Mustang Ranch is no more, unless the Feds decided to go into the brothel biz. Besides that was up by Reno, a pretty good drive from Las Vegas.

I'll trust the voice of experience..>

Aww crap..  The wife and I bought a nice bottle of wine a few years ago and I snuck it down here to celebrate  her passing the boards.  So, when I call the restaurant they tell me I can use my own bottle but it will cost me a $55 corking fee.  55 bucks?  The ice must be off the same iceberg that sank the Titanic or something.

Aureole

The kid and our wives went there just last Saturday ... right after the early "Rat Pack" show ... less than a grand with two bottles of wine.
Aureole is in the Mandalay Bay.

Chopper tours of the Grand Canyon are a blast.

The paddle wheel tours of Lake Mead are a blast too.

You could always go with the old gamble and get drunk routine.


I'm very disappointed that you went to a Celine Deon concert.  You should have your MAN CARD revoked.

Go shoot a machine gun.

I did the last time there. The video is of me shooting an M249.

Red Rock Canyon has some nice trails. It's right outside the city ~ very beautiful.

I lived in Vegas 90-93 when they opened the Excalibur. They had a filmed motion ride of the Colossus from Six Flags Magic Mountain. Was pretty good but no match for the real thing.

Fat Tuesdays at the MGM has pretty good hurricanes. :aok

While in the lobby, looking at the desk, to the right are some stairs. Fat Tuesdays is down the stairs on the right. Ask for a couple extra vials of booze, only a buck a piece.

If you never play one game in Vegas, make that game Blackjack. The odds are skewed so far in the houses favor (they use 3,4,5 and more decks of cards)it is the 2nd worst odds of winning behind Keno. Baccarat and Craps are the best odds of winning.

If you want to learn the games they usually have tutorials on one of the in-house TV channels.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

cheapest craps in town are at the 4 Queens and the circus circus,, good place to learn, also all the hotels used to offer lessons for the cheap or free
you dont lose too much that way. when i used to go i would put my limit amount in my left pocket then all i won all day in my right, dont switch them then you can see how you really did at the end of the day! i also only set aside certain times to gamble like after 10 at night or from 1;30 to 5 ;00
this helps give you a chance at keeping more of your money but wont work as well if your doing the casino tour i,e, trying to find your favorite one.there is so much to do and see there i really only gamble about1/4 of the time im there. :D  i wissh i was going too its been  a few years since i have got to go  have fun  and thnx for helping to pay the power bill out there your donations are greatly apreciated :rofl :D

o and the blackjack is best on 2 deck shoes but 3 deck works ok too. i should know i used to deal way back when they invented it. and i dont know who said not to play it but it is one of the better games to play as far as odds go, just learn how first or you will be catching crap from the players around you for takeing the dealers bust card or something
