    Don't understand what everybody likes about being in Vegas. Been there once and that was enough - felt like walking around in a Disney World for adults. What's so specail about Vegas? I don't get it.

    It's not for everybody. It's a place to let loose and have fun without worrying about anything. If that's not for you then that's fine. Though a little outside there is plenty of hiking and nature related stuff with Vegas. It's not all booze and gambling.

    The other advice I give to people who have never been there is: Don't look down on the sidewalks when walking or take handouts from people on the street unless you're into building a deck of cards with naked chicks on them! But you already know that about Vegas!

    My daughter asked us to build a deck like that for her when we were there. So we did.

    Very true, you will need money if you plan on partying. Just a bottle of Miller lite can cost anywhere from $6 to $10 depending on where you go. If you like better liquor like Ketel One, Patron, etc be ready for some sticker-shock. :) That's why I don't party much on the strip anymore.

    I dont even like to drink, I'd be happy watching some good shows but those prices! eek! and the slot machines are just too tempting

    i seriously hope everyone gets to experience Las Vegas at least once in their lives..Tourist say that Times Square in new york is perhaps the #1tourist spot. i cant understand this i love NYC but Vegas is a place where anything you ever wanted to do can be done and not looked at like a bad thing.. THIS IS WHY THE TERM WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS STAYS IN VEGAS!!! was thought off.. i did things in Vegas that i always wanted to do but never had the nerve.. What made Vegas so different than most gambling establishments is that even if your not into gambling you still have so much to do.. The shows are great, 2 hrs away is the Grand Canyon...So many parties strip clubs, wedding chapels, just a great place to be...Please everyone experience Las Vegas at least once ...

    If your entire group is planning on partying unil you drop, you might want to hire someone to make sure you get back to your rooms (or a room :wink: ). If you are active duty (thank you!) no need for the MP's or CO to get involved.... Have fun!!

    Good point and you reminded me of this club night you can buy. It includes a Party Bus and it takes you to 3 or 4 clubs that night.

    Yeah, I know there is great nature around Vegas - I've been there and I liked it. But I don't need Vegas to let loose - I can do this at home. But that probably depends on where (country and city) you are from. If I wanna drink in the streets, clubs, bars - I can do it. If I wanna smoke in the streets, clubs, bars - I can do it. If I wanna dance in the streest, clubs, bars - I can do it. If I wanna see naked people - I just go to the next lake or the sauna ;-)

    It totally depends on where you're at. Early this year a bunch of us from work were traveling back and forth to Cleveland for a project and everything shut down at like midnight or 1am, it was really weird. There was literally nothing opened except our casino.
