    I used to live in Vegas and go quite often to see friends and family. Party in Vegas is redundant lol. It all depends on what you want to do before I can make any recommendations. :) June will be hot, I can tell you that much.

    I went to Vegas in 2003, stayed in the Luxor. I'm English and I think the partying thing there seemed pretty tame to be honest! When I went it was July and very, very hot (47 celcius) but everywhere is air conditioned so it's fine!

    Hey, husband and I have just booked for a week in August!

    Our package includes a helicopter night trip down the strip, and I've booked a one day tour to Grand Canyon South including a sunset. For the rest, I'm sort of happy to go with the flow. Husband likes to have some "aimless wandering" time when we're on holidays, which goes against my grain - I reckon why travel half way round the world to somewhere you may never be again, and just dander about with no plan!

    For the big shows, I'm not fussed about Celine Dion or Elton John, I'm sure we can find something when we're there. We're not big gamblers, but we'll visit a casino or 2. Sipping cocktails by the pool sounds good.

    if you are single hard rock is the place to stay. IMO

    If you play poker Aria is the best poker casino. Awesome poker room.

    Bellagio, well its Bellagio. Awesome casino.

    If you are looking for cheap fun and casinos. Hit freemont st.

    HAVE FUN! Hard Rock is the best time in Vegas. Off the strip a bit but the whole beach area/ pools areas/ cabanas are the best. If budgets not an issue rent a cabana early & have a little party with your friends if anyones going with you. Tao is great, Ghost Bar, etc etc etc. Lots of fun "divey" type bars around too. Hit the Bellagio & Venetian as well, you'll love em. The Wynns great too, go pick up a new Ferrari in the lobby :)
    Have FUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!

    Club wise check out ghost bar, haze, and moon. All the clubs are good if thats your scene (not my thing, I'm more of a bar/pub kind of guy). If that's your style, check out hogs and hiefers (biker bar - fremont st), blue martini (a bit off the strip, but lots of singles go there, minus 5 bar (cool concept), Insert Coin (video game bar, good for day drinkin and relaxing a bit), the list goes on and on. Food wise, there's a lot of great buffets in all the casinos, but twin peaks just opened up (sports bar, think hooters but better and with a rock climbing wall)

    If you're into electro music, rebook your tickets and go to EDC that following weekend. I went a couple years ago, and it's amazing.

    I will be here may 1st thru the 6th
    I go once a year and It is such a blast.

    I personally LOVE old town (fremont street) hey always have a queen cover band playing and a zip line you can go on.
    I am not a fan of clubs so I don't have suggestions for that.
    all I know is you will have a a BLAST! no matter what you do :)

    Thanks for all the input so far!
    I dont mind a bit of dance music but more an rnb kinda guy...dunno if any of the clubs there cater for that though.
    Im going to D.L Hughley stand up on the 15th and Eddie Griffin on the 17th. 16th and 18th will probably be random clubbing nights. Def wanna check out a tour of Grand Canyon as well and I've been told theres some awesome shopping outlets just out of Vegas.

    If you are into playing craps Casino Royale is your place. $3 dollar tables during the day and free drinks (just tip the waitress). DONT buy food from your hotel, there are countless i mean countless places much cheaper on the strip. If you are into shooting there is a range nearby where you can shoot full auto ;). There is also skydiving available (indoor and outdoor). California is not too far away (depending on where you want to go). Lock up your credit cards and debit cards and only take a LIMITED amount of money with you. Good luck and have fun. The club scene is ridiculous...TAO and many others that I don't even remember LMAO.

    Craps sound fun! Will def give it a try! How much would be a sufficient amount of cash for a night out? I've heard many times about not carrying too much cash or credit cards. Didnt realise it would be that bad out there! Esp the fact I have a 2.5km walk each night back to my hotel alone! Where can I buy a gun? JOKES!!
