    I don't know how strict you will be on your diet, but for breakfast the Paris hotel buffet is excellent but you have to get there early on the weekend. I've heard that the new M casino has a nice regular buffet. If I'm there a weekend I usually do one very nice dining restaurant and one buffet, not necessarily in the same day. Then eat light fruits and oatmeals the rest of the day. Bellagio and Venetian have nice fine restaurants, but most hotels have the gamut in price and food choices.
    I don't play tables or anything just slots, so no gambling advice. It will be hot most likely so be prepared. I usually get a map of the hotels like on vegas.com, so I can see where they are in relation to where I'm staying then you can plan what you see when you walk and if there are places you want to catch a cab to. Even casinos next door can be a long walk though, so comfy shoes are always good. Save your clubbin' heels for the cab nights.

    I like to see the lions at the MGM grand. They also have the white tigers still at the Mirage. There's a coca cola and m & m museum on the strip too if you are tired of gambling, eating, drinking or sunning yourself

    Thanks for all the advice, I am going to try to stay on my diet but I know it will be difficult. I will subconsciencely count calories... but not sure about logging. Also alcohol will probably win over the food anyway.. I havent drank in sooo long.. :)

    Beatles - Love at the Mirage! If you're a Beatles fan, its a must see. I see it every time I go! I'll be in Vegas from June 12-15 and I already have my tickets!

    I love Vegas, I try to go at least 3-4 times a year :) I'd go more, but then I'd probably end up a broke mofo.

    if you are staying near New York New York, everyday from 6-9 they have a happy hour 2 for 1. It's a great place to pre game.

    Then after lunch head straight for Margaritaville. After a few 'blenders' you'll on your way.

    Also the Stratosphere rides are great if you enjoy being frozen with fear :D Probably best to do those before your "what happens in vegas" night.

    I actually lost weight the last time I went to Vegas. Even though I drank a lot, I ate modestly. My friends and I walked, swam and danced the entire time. You'll have a blast!

    I live here, and can't wait to move away.
    Everything is fun for tourists, though, if you follow these rules:
    Bring money.
    Spend liberally.
    Avoid buffets.
    Don't jaywalk.

    *Coyote Ugly in New York

    *Make sure to make it to the old strip (where Golden Nugget is) for the LED light show on the hour until midnight (heck once you're there then make a trip out to the Vegas sign)

    *Comfortable walking shoes (what seems like a 5 minute walk is more like 30 minutes)
  • I love Vegas! :) I'll be there next month too. Some of my favorite spots to hit up and things to do are:

    1.) Pool Party during the day for sure!!! :D Some might even have an open bar during designated hours.
    2.) XS, Surrender, Tao or Marquee nightclub
    3.) Serendipity in Cesar's Palace
    4.) World Buffet at the Rio
    5.) Earl of Sandwich- Best sandwiches, hands down. :)
    6.) See a show! I've never been but I'm going to Cirque du Soleil next month.

    And I would recommend hitting up a promoter before you go. They can hook you up for some great deals while you're there. And haveeee funnn! :) But then again, Vegas is always bound to be fun. lol

    If a fat jesus look alike tries to give you a drink on top of the building, don't take it or you might wake up finding a tiger in your room

    I live here in Vegas. Just enjoy being the tourist. I don't really go out so I can't advise of any places to go. There's the usual, walking the strip, freemont street experience. Hope you have a great time.

    If you're a vodka fan don't miss out on on going to Minus5 at the Mandalay Bay, the whole bar is made of ice (they give you parkas to stay warm), quite the experience! :D...Think of it as drinking inside a giant freezer!
