Tried to rep you...but couldn't. You're right...was asleep by midnight...but got to admit...you would have had me anyway on that one.

Probably mentioned the good resources like Nightlifeguru, too?

I wouldn't be surprised if we sent the same information.

Big Elvis plays in the lounge at Bill's Gambling Hall M-F late afternoon to early evening. Free, fun, & $1 margaritas in the bar in the back of the hall. All my guests love the show-it's always rated some kind of Best of Vegas.
My fav food place for value is Grand Lux Cafe at The Venetian & another at The Palazzo. Portions are HUGE so you must share! My sis & I share the Caramel Chicken & have leftovers for at least one more meal for each of us.
Of course the can't miss Bellagio fountains & the volcano at The Mirage. (That pirate show at TI is always so darned crowded.)

[lyra33]

I love the atmosphere while standing outside at night watching the Bellagio fountains with the music. Especially when the weather is nice.

Also- check out the cool botanical flower display inside the Bellagio. (free.)

The flower display is awesome, but I'd imagine a group of girls from NJ has seen fall colors before. Buy 5 day passes for the bus so you can get around easy. The passeswill get you all over town and up and down the strip easily. Fremont Street is free and fun. A group of girls should have no problem getting into clubs free. Have fun.

just wanted to see if anybody had any suggestions for things for us to do. we are on somewhat of a tight budget. meaning we won't be staying at the palms or bellagio and won't be going to any super fancy restaurants for every meal but will fork up some money if its worth it.

we are a group between 21-25

which are the good clubs? i read somewhere that we can get in before a certain time for free and get free drinks if you meet some promoters.

places to eat, a good (inexpensive) spa??
things to do during the day...
we probably won't be seeing any shows as tickets seem to be very expensive, but if there are any suggestions for must see or cheap tickets we'd love to hear!

Clubs:

TAO is my favorite! A lot of fun, nice looking crowd, and a great atmosphere. It's located in the Venetian. Pure is the most overrated club in my opinion, crowded to the point dancing is impossible, most of the club is roped off for VIP sections, which cost $$$$$. You won't get free drinks, but I'm sure you could easily get some guys to buy you drinks. $15 Jager Bombs and $10 Heinekens...work your magic or pre-game in a cheap bar.

Restaurants:

Mon Ami Gabi is a great restaurant inside Paris. Go there for lunch, great value.

Spas:

Go to Imperial Spa. It's a traditional Korean Bath House. You can get a 70 minute massage and all day access to the spa for $90. They have a bunch of steam rooms, saunas, clay ball pits, clay hot rooms, jacuzzis, recliners etc. The best part is the massage. It's unlike any Western massage. You have to get completely nude (you will have the same sex performing the massage), they scrub you head to toe with milk, cucumber juice, cucumber oil and you can see rolls of black skin coming off your body. You are then given a bath on a table and then transferred to a traditional massage table, where your therapist puts on a cold cucumber mask and then gives you a deep tissue massage. It lasts 70 minutes, best massage ever, plus you can relax in their facilities for no extra charge.

Day:

Pool, make sure the hotel you choose has a nice pool area.

Shows:

There is a small store in the front of the Fashion Show Mall that sells discount show tickets for the same day or the following day. You can watch Phantom of the Opera for $60-$90, depending on the section. Any Cirque Du Soleil show is great, Le Reve, Phantom of the Opera are all good too.

On a budget, on the strip when it comes to food, always keep an eye out for cheap platters after midnight. 5 dollar steaks with the works, 5 dollar hamburger baskets with fries if not you always Mc Donalds on the strip. Shows, well there are cheap shows to watch like the variety show. Spas, well they're kind of pricy on the strip. If you have a vehicle, you can cruise down flamingo blvd and youll be able to find many low priced spas. Last time I was there, for 25 bucks for a massage and sauna...very relaxing. YOu can make it with 300 bucks for 3 nights.

I'm just wondering how many guys here have their fantasies spinning out of control...right about now?

(I'm just hoping that they all don't look like that Snooki...or whatever her name is! )

[swagger]

I don't partake of the club scene, but on weekend nights when we go to Mirage to play poker, there's always quite a crowd of young, attractive kids waiting to get into Jet. Sometimes it's so crowded, we have to make our own path just to get to the escalators.
