Go Wicked Spoon for brunch/lunch. It is WAY better (I must have ate like 6 Benedicts lol), and much cheaper.

That's how I felt about the Bellagio buffet. We went on our last day there for breakfast and it was pretty good and was about half the price of dinner.

After looking at other buffet dinner prices I don't think they are worthwhile at all. We had dinner at an actual restaurant (Mon Ami Gabi at Paris) and it was way better and cheaper than the Wicked Spoon.

We got back yesterday after a week. It was pretty cold but we had an awesome time.
I was so hungover for New Years we just watched the Strat fireworks from the roof.
I drove an r35 around the exotics race track, that was amazing! I need an r35 now, it was a huge rush! It took about 5 laps for me to get used to the track and knowing when to brake, accelerate, etc but I passed a few ferraris 7 laps went by really quickly.
We saw Anthony Cools one night he's hilarious! He has the longest running hypnotist show in Vegas. If our friend didn't volunteer and go up on stage I wouldn't have believed it was real.

At one point he made all the guys on stage homosexual and really horny but their cocks were on their forehead they woke up and immediately got turned on so they started rubbing their forehead dicks. Everytime he said one ladies name on stage she imagined her vagina was telling all of us its deepest darkest secrets.. the look on her face was priceless and she kept crossing her legs telling it to shut up.
Definitely go check him out if you get a chance to!!

Beach parties are always crazy the Marquee day club they put a bubble over the roof and cranked the heat, we got daysted then went to pf changs and played $5 blackjack for the rest of the night.

Hardwell at Hakkasan was soo good, drinks are such a rip off but I'm a cheap drunk anyways.


One night we played pub golf (the reason I was hungover for New Years)
Pub Golf Guide - How to play the drinking game

we started out at
Dicks Last Resort - crown & water Par 3
Nine Fine Irishmen - Newcastle - Par 5
Double Barrel - Rum & coke - Par 5
Rock Bar - Shot of Captain (the shots in Vegas are basically a full glass) - Par 2
CVS Pharmacy - Choose your own Mini champagne - Par 3
Margaritaville - Margarita - Par 6
Margaritaville - Jack Daniels Margarita - Par 4


it's definitely nice to be home, I need a vacation from my vacation now.. work is tough

Exotics Racing was a blast, I had such a good time there! You're right though, 7 laps was not nearly enough. Next time I go, I'm gonna double up and do 14, fuck it lol.

Are they still doing the Corvette 2 lap drift/ride a long? That was worth the $$ as well. I remember getting into the vette after doing my laps, and telling my driver I don't scare easy, and to do your worst while I slipped him a $20. Needless to say, the boxers I was wearing were wrecked lol

Margaritaville is a dangerous spot if you're already wasted. We ended up there one night, and it was a lot of fun, but I don't remember getting back to our room at NYNY afterwards

Only 3 weeks until I'll be back!

It was honestly soo much fun, I was so stoked after and now in the market for an r35 lol!
Yeah they had the z06 but he only did a few laps, I don't think anyone was interested. they discounted it too.. it was $150 for 2 rides rather than $100 a ride. hahaha thats awesome I was scared in the discovery lap I thought he was going to roll the cayanne lol

yeah I found out I get angry when I drink JD and I don't remember leaving margarittaville but I think it went something like this:




pub golf was dangerous.

Only thing that kinda sucked, was taking out some American cash the other day

Gonna try and find that Secret Pizza place inside the Cosmo. Sober it shouldn't be an issue, but after a few beverages it should be an adventure lol

Go to Estiatorio Milos inside the Cosmo for their 3 course lunch menu at $25.15. Really good food at a great price.

It was a lot of fun, definitely do it if you can, it's just not long enough. By the 5th lap, I was finally getting to know where to accelerate and brake, and then it's over it was a rush though.

Anyone do a bus club tour with Rockstar Concierge Services? I'm leaving on Thursday with some friends for a stag and they're trying to sell us on a bus with open bar for $59 per person. Apparently vip no cover to three clubs for the night as well.... seems to good to be true.

Sounds WAY too good to be true. Unless they're the shittiest holes off strip and open bar means draught Budweiser only.

Last time I was in Vegas, we were walking back to the hotel along the strip when a guy started chatting us up. We started talking and he told us he worked for Olympic Garden and offered us free shuttle, cover and a drink. We ended up spending a few hours there and had a great time, so it's definitely not a scam.

So just know that strip clubs would do free shuttle/limo, cover and usually 1-2 free drinks for parties as long as you called/email ahead.

Yeah the line up for White Castle was completely retarded, no matter when we went by!

Me and my bro in-law were across the street, pissed that the Mirage Volcano wasn't up and working, when this group of young-ish guys/girls started heckling the line up. It was pretty funny lol.

But then I also thought I could get the volcano to start working, by throwing my change at it... so I wasn't exactly in the right frame of mind

^ In my experience, throwing money at anything in Vegas usually works so I wouldn't feel too bad about that
