You should go to Machinegunsvegas to shoot guns.
Hot chicks + great service + great pricing + great variety of guns.
A+
10/10
It's rare that I am so pleased with anything
Much more enjoyable than ExoticsRacing IMO

Drinks can be about $15 for a shot of goose or more.
If you don't want to line up, you can always go at 10:30 when the club is almost empty. lol. Quote:

Getting drinks @ the bar is a challenge on its own after you lineup to get into the club.

drinks were 15-16 each but they aren't the same 'singles' that we get here. you can have fun with or without bottles but the bottles make it that much easier when you don't have to line up. typically they give you free cover too for getting bottles.
i'm going there this fri-mon. 41c and sunshine throughout. fucking stoked!!!

Would love to hear how you did at the tables.
What do you usually play?
Bellagio is a fav of mine to gamble in. They got the largest casino floor in Vegas and imo the best rules for blackjack (well most of the MGM top tier props have the best rules)

ok... just got back yesterday here's a few things everyone should take note of.
1. Planet Hollywood is 2/2 for the $20 trick. Each time I upgraded from Hollywood Hip room to a Resort room facing the Bellagio fountains.
2. Roam Mobile DOES NOT support Rogers 3G Frequencies on your phone. I was using my Nexus One and only had EDGE. Find a phone that runs 1700 mhz. I was PISSED, still trying to work out a refund.
3. Pinks is shit. Overpriced and disgusting, I couldn't even finish mine because it was so gross. Earl of Sandwich is where you want to get cheap and pretty good food.
As for my trip... 1OAK was awesome. Stupid that I had to grease the bouncer to get in at 11 though. Won enough through craps to make all my shopping free. Caesars Palace buffet is closed right now, I think for renovations.

TMo will also charge for the SIM (it's about $8-10 if I remember correctly) so factor that into your cost. If you're OK with EDGE speeds, then just get their $2/day 2G plan and save yourself $1/day. Your Rogers, Fido, Bell or Telus phone will most likely support EDGE.
If you absolutely need 3G/4G data and don't have an AWS phone (i.e. a phone on Rogers, Fido, Bell, Telus), then AT&T is your only option. You'll have to get the $25 Monthly plan and then add on $5/50MB, $15/200MB or $25/1GB data add on. I don't believe AT&T charges for their SIM (at least they didn't when I got mine 2 years ago). AT&T's voice only plan is $2/day but doesn't have data. The advantage they have is that texting to Canada is free in case you have friends who don't want to get a US phone number - you can text them without getting charged for the texts. | Damn if only I read this before I left.. Very stupid that this information isn't on their website.

Just got back from Vegas today.
Stayed at PH for the first time. Tried the $20 trick and worked. Got upgraded from hollywood hip to bellagio view room. Watched KA and Phantom. I'd give KA a 7/10 and Phantom a 9/10.
Ended up buying the buffet of buffets tix for $45 / person, but only ended up eating at PH twice, and Paris once. Still, for the amount I ate, I made that money back.
Remember to slap on sunscreen, and keep yourself hydrated. Once I stepped outside the airport, the hot air felt overwhelming. It felt like i was being cooked in an oven, literally.
Taxi from airport to hotel is around $15-20.
Taxi to premium outlets is $20-25. Overall, it was fun. But I might be getting bored of Vegas, so gonna plan for Orlando or Hawaii

I tried at a few other MGM properties (Vdara and Aria) and it's always the same room type just higher up with a better view.
For the actual MGM hotel it would be hard for them to upgrade the room type cause they go from rooms to suites and that's a pretty big $$$ jump.

Only bad part is the rooms may be dated.
Paris and PH look pretty good at that price IMO
