What are some must "DO" things while you're in Vegas?

So far the only thing I've got planned for my 4 night stay in Vegas is:

Activities:
KA
Absinthe
Venetian - Winter In Venice
M & M's factory + Coke factory

To Eat:
Carnegie Deli - Snack
Bacchanal Buffet - Lunch or Dinner
Wicked Spoon - Brunch/Lunch
L'Atelier - Dinner
In N' Out (Has anyone been to In N Out in Vegas?) - Lunch
Prime Steakhouse - Dinner

Are there anymore attractions or fun activities to do? Gambling and clubs probably aren't gonna be in this trip since I'll be going with the GF ;)

How about for food? Any must-try places or suggestions?

L'Atelier is a MUST.


Joel Robuchon too if you don't mind spending the money.


L'Atelier you have to get the foie gras stuffed quail... sooo good.

IMO "O" over KA
If you're into it the Gun Store

@HonestTea

no shopping..? If you've never been before, just exploring all the hotels can take up a lot of time too.

I second L'Atelier ... was just in Vegas and went there for dinner, did the 4 course and sat at the bar where you watch the open kitchen work, very helpful staff and the food was great ... they have a few different ways to eat with a la carte and also some set menus when I went ... make sure to make reservations now so you got a nice time slot

I've been to the In N' Out and its okay, i don't get why there is a huge line up for it.
Go to the shooting range with your GF. she will enjoy it but go early as people tend to go around noon and its a long line.
David Copperfield was pretty a good show.
If you rent a car there is a lot more you can see/better food places.
Go to one of the 2 outlet in vegas/ hoover dam/ skydiving?
You may want to try out joe's seafood prime steak & stone crab and musahi Japanese steakhouse.

HonestTea 12-06-2012 03:16 PM

For people that went to KA before, would you go Balcony level and sit at row KK(Balcony middle, third last row) or would you choose front tow Section 101, row 3?

I'm surprised no one ever mentions Le Reve (Cirque like show at the Wynn).

It's not a Cirque D'Soleil show persay but it's from the same director who directed/created Cirque Shows O, Mystere, etc and IMO it's equally as great!

For activities:
Bellagio Fountain at night time
Venetian Canal Ride if you dig that kind of stuff
Le Reve show at Wynn
Fashionshow Mall
Walk on the strip and go hotel hopping if it ain't too cold this time around.
Gamble and get free drinks! LOL

If you have a rental vehicle or you don't mind busing it (it's called the deuce bus from Strip to Old Downtown) go to Old Downtown for Fremont Experience go on a Thurs/Fri/Sat night. It's free and you can see what old las vegas Downtown is all about.

Eats:
Highly recommend bachannal buffet
If you miss viet/thai food and want it on the strip then Lemongrass @Aria is decent
Stripsteak at Mandalay Bay is good too go get the coupon off restaurant.com. $100 for a pretty good steak dinner for 2!
Secret pizza place @Cosmo - actually any restaurant at Cosmo (specially Holstein's and that Greek place for lunch) is awesome!

Also no mention for Cheesecake Factory or Grand Lux Cafe? It's not fine dining but if you weren't able to get your fix when visiting Seattle then they have plenty of cheesecake and grand lux cafe in Vegas Strip (1 in Ceasars Palance and 2 in Venetian)

For all the Big Theater Cirque Shows I personally have always loved sitting mid level and in KA's case that would be the front of the Upper Section so row AA or whatever is closest to AA.

IMO they are the perfect seats. Sit too low and you have to look up, sit too high and you have to look down, I find a good balance half way but everyone has their own preference.

ApePee2 12-06-2012 08:56 PM

Going to vegas for the 3rd time in March

I've heard but all I've gotten on the site is KK for both nights :/ so it's either KK or Row C(3rd row from the stage), which would you choose? It's a $120 difference in tickets($60 difference per ticket)

Personally KK. Row 3 is way too close imo and this isn't sitting in a massive football stadium way up in the bleachers trying to watch men with a tiny football. Save the $120 and go treat yourself to a nice dinner and have fun mang

Anyone heading to Vegas in NYE?

I have some cheap rooms at Aria I booked during a promo code error.

It's basically about $400 and you 2 nights at the Aria from Dec 31st, to Jan 2nd with upgraded rooms, and 2 upgraded tickets to Zarkana as well.

I booked for a few people and due to some work things, nobody can come anymore. Anyways, I'm selling the rooms at $500 each, which includes the 2 nights at the 2 tickets to Zarkana. I have to cover some costs for people due to the cancellation sorry =(. The Zarkana tickets are worth over $200 so you're getting NYE + 1 night for under $300 at Aria.

If nobody wants I'll just cancel the rooms and have my friends eat up the cancellation charges but I rather help someone out.

Since the rooms are under my name, I'll be there as well, and I'll have to check you in and add your name onto the reservation so you can check in too. Also, I'm a plat member, so you'll get a free upgrade on the Aria room as well, as long as it's available.

I made a separate thread for this so post on the thread and pm me if you can, thanks!

Has anybody been to Casa Fuente for some cigars and scotch/whiskey?

Obsideon 12-13-2012 02:49 PM

I did, but was already pretty hammered when I got there... the cigar and scotch put me over the top lol ...

bcrdukes 12-13-2012 04:56 PM

What are their prices like (if you can remember haha!)

was a beginner for cigar, they were nice enough to show and introduce us the different type of cigar and flavor.

we went for the cheap route around 16-24 bucks per cigar

drinks are Vancouver pricing so it wasnt too bad. Beer was like 9 bucks, brandy or scotch were 15-18 bucks

bcrdukes 12-13-2012 08:08 PM

Awesome and thanks!

I've never tried an Arturo Fuente so I'm going to make it a mission to have at least one while I'm there! :)

Obsideon 12-13-2012 08:32 PM

Tip: Do not have a cigar when you are 90% drunk, it will instantly push you to 150% shitfaced... true story ...

Something about the head rush?... I'm noob ...

bcrdukes 12-13-2012 08:59 PM

I'm a veteran cigar enthusiast so I know my limits. ;)
