Can somebody else try this and see if it's just me?  | Spent one freaking hour on the phone with Travelocity...even their agents (BTW, I think they outsource to India...) were unable to do anything. They kept bouncing me from one department to another before I finally got to speak with a supervisor who said she notified tech support and that she would "personally look into the problem and call me back". One week later after no response I got fed up and have decided to go on a cruise instead

Going 2 weeks with a bunch of buddies...which clubs to hit up? I can imagine it'll be hard getting in with a bunch of guys.

Getting in with a bunch of guys is going to be hard. Be prepared to pay the bouncers or you can always buy one of those Vegas Nightlife passes which give you VIP and skips all the lines at every Vegas club. It's like $200ish so only get it if you'll be doing lots of clubbing.

tau, tryst and pure. you either need to know someone who works there, pick up some girls to get in, or grease the bouncers at tau. as for strip clubs i recommend sapphire and spearmint rhino.

you can't really expect to get into TAO w/ 8 guys..
i went w/ 4 guys and one girl, and we kidna had trouble but luckily, we got in only b/c the night before, we went to go talk to one of the bouncers at TAO, and he gave us his card...
we called him the next day and we were in the shorter line up that night.

Saw this on fatwallet. This seems like a good deal. Lots of nights available for $69 per night.

there is nothing wrong with taking a trip by yourself but i don't think las vegas is the place to go alone. it's a party town..you're gonna be kinda lonesville even if you end up finding something to keep you busy.
and if you want to be relaxing..i'd suggest somewhere more low key and calm.

# Hours of operation: Friday - Saturday, 10:30 p.m. to the early morning hours.
# Cover price:
* Front of the line pass, includes admission (Friday and Saturday): $30, per night.
* Open Bar Package (Friday and Saturday): $60, per night. (Includes Front-of-the-line admission and premium open bar until the club closes for one. Drink types included are domestic and imported beer, wine, basic liquors [SKYY and Level Vodka, Cruzan rum, Salsa tequila, Jack Daniels and Crown Royal whiskey and bourbon, Hennessey cognac], bottled water, soda and juice. Does not include Red Bull.). Package does NOT include table seating.
* VIP Package 1: $375, per night. (Includes front-of-the-line admission for up to five, one table, one bottle of alcohol and up to three mixers. Gratuity included.)
* VIP Package 2: $475, per night. (Includes front-of-the-line admission for up to eight, one table, one bottle of alcohol and up to three mixers. Gratuity included.)
The open bar package and the VIP packages aren't so bad considering most clubs usually charge around $300 for bottle service

Just booked my Vegas trip
Staying in Seattle Saturday night and catching the early 8am flight out of Seatac the next morning. Arriving in Vegas on Nov 18 and coming back Nov 22nd. ~$300/person so I think it's a great deal

I have a question regarding cell phone use. I'm heading down there with my gf and what would be the best method of contacting each other?
What do you guys do when you're in Vegas and are separated from your group? The roaming charges down there would be $$$...are there any pre-paid cell phone sim cards we can buy when we're down there (or locally) so we can call each other? i.e. $10 pre-paid sim card @ $0.20-$0.30/minute?

I suggest you to buy yourself a prepaid SIM card from either Cingular or T-Mobile. Or, if you want, you can rent mine while you're down there. I have 2 T-Mobile SIMs with a Los Angeles number and all you have to do is add money on to it. However, if you don't forsee yourself calling each other, I would just suggest you both SMS each other since it's like $0.10 or I think $0.20/message?

I and my 8 friends used 4 walkie talkies.
The only good/bad stuffs about is other users can hear you. Good if someone has a good conversation and try to interrupt their conversation. Bad if you need it and others are sharing the same channel.
Communication should be fine though depending on the frequenzy.  | |
