I stayed at every hotel on the strip in vegas and 2 off vegas. I like to stay at each one everytime I go there which is once every year at least. But anyway a funny story about Hooters hotel/casino. I won 30 to 1 on a 50 dollar bet and I had a dumb typical blonde dealer. She said I am not sure how much the payout is one second. She then calls the pit boss and he had to give me the right amount. Hooters have nice snack trays there but they have gals who are dumb as a door knob.

never stayed at Hooters, let me know how u like it... i've stayed at the Mandalay Bay, Rio, Bally's & New York, New York & have been to the Bellagio, Venetian, Paris & Luxor.

as far as hotel accomodations go, i had the best time at the Rio, but it's a little far off from the strip so you will need to take a cab there if you wanna walk the strip... the atmosphere there was the most fun tho by far of the places i stayed at... the waitresses are all hot & they all sing & dance as well as being ****tail servers... they also have a Rio style Carnivale show that goes through the casino every couple hours or so that's fun to watch & they throw beads at you... there's a club upstairs called the Voodoo Lounge that's pretty good too... chicks aren't as smokin' hot as the ones you'll find at the bigger clubs like Tao in the Venetian, but they're a lot more approachable & i had a better time partying there with my friends... there's also a nice outdoor terrace where u can look out over Vegas while you're getting your party on, which was cool... the seafood buffet at the Rio is also BOMB! people go there just for that alone.

do NOT waste your time at New York, New York, it was by far the cheesiest casino i've been to in Vegas & way overpriced for the accomodations... the room was smelly & the decor was really tacky, & being from New York City yourself i guarantee you're gonna get sick of seeing the ridiculous imitation New York City street decor everywhere around you inside.

the Mandalay Bay has a lotta hot chicks staying there & the wave pool is awesome... if you wanna check out hot chicks & lay out by the pool alot, i would definitely recommend that place, but it's also sorta at the end of the strip so you'll have to walk a ways to get to where the Bellagio & the other main casinos are... the service there was just so-so tho... they are mad cheap w/their comps as well... i got MUCH more comped meals & stuff at the Rio.

Ballys was pretty nice... not as much fun as the Rio but in a very convenient location right across the street from Bellagio... & the room rates were pretty reasonable for that area of the strip... the rooms were nice enough too for the money you pay... a pretty good value overall IMO.

as far as other casinos go, the Bellagio & Venetian are definitely the crown jewels of the strip if u ask me... the fountains show at the Bellagio are world famous as i'm sure you've seen in the movies, definitely worth checking out while you're in Vegas... the decor inside is amazing & makes u feel like you're hobsnobbing w/the rich & famous... i don't like to gamble inside places like this tho, i feel so stuffed... i prefer a more lively atmosphere personally, but it's a nice place to take ur girl to to look around & sip on some wine in your Vegas best threads... just keep her away from the expensive jewelery stores inside.

Luxor is pretty cheap & cheesy IMO... didn't stay there for very long, but it was right next door to the Mandalay so i went in to check it out... my buddy's room there was whack tho, i would opt for another hotel if i could choose.

the Paris casino is pretty nice & it's more of a light atmosphere... more older married couples hanging around in this place tho, but not so much that u feel like you're inside some kinda bingo parlor or something... the dealers there are the nicest ones i've encountered by far... they keep it all happy & smiling as they take your money away... lol... actually if u go there, look for a Latino dealer gentleman named Alex... he's awesome & will help you out if you don't know what you're doing & won't let idiots who don't know what they're doing screw up the table by taking hits when they shouldn't be taking them... i hate dealers that just keep their mouths shut & deal the cards, i need someone who's into the games as much as i am.

i've heard good things about the Wynn & the Palazzo too from friends, but have never gone there... from the pics they took of the Palazzo suites i would say those rooms are the bomb if u can afford them.

no open container rule on the streets so feel free to bring your booze when bouncing from place to place.

definitely 1 of the best things about Vegas

One thing I do always is watch the George Wallace Show at the Flamingo. I always laugh my butt off. Also he gives free stuff out. I got a free 3 day stay at the Flamingo the last time I spend there.

Sounds good fellas...thanks for the insight...

alot of cats that talk about Vegas just say..."dude just go trust me". That doesn't do it for me.

I might stay for 5 days so I gotta start upgrading my "Douche Bag gear"...Should I cop a suit or 2?

Five nights is a long time...pace yourself

seriously, i was burnt out by night 2... lol... i guess it all depends on how hard u plan on partying out there caca... Vegas is pretty dead during the weekdays tho... it's only bumping at night on Thurs, Fri & Sat nights... so my suggestion would be to save those nights for the crazy partying action & take the other days to spend at the poolside, doing some shopping, see a show or 2, maybe go take a tour of the Grand Canyon which isn't too far away or go off roading in the desert in a dune buggy which is always fun.

also there's an indoor gun shooting range nearby that lets u shoot fully automatic machine guns... it's the only place i've ever found that has this... most gun ranges only have semi-auto rifles & handguns... i shot an M249 SAW at this place & it gives u a friggin' rush like u wouldn't believe... also tried out the Uzi .9mm submachine gun, an M4 carbine, & also took out some frustrations on a pic of Osama with a 12 gauge shottie.





here's a vid clip i shot of the Bellagio fountain show last time i was there... much more impressive in real life tho.

It's called the Gun Store and it's on tropicana and mcleod or something... i live right around there. I like the Rio a lot and don't forget your Ed Hardy gear, spiked hair and tattoos... lol.
