    I'm going to Las Vegas!

    So, I work in an accountant's office right now, and tax season just finished and we had our party. My bonus last year was a $100 mall gift card. My bonus this year, is +$1000 AND an all-expenses-paid trip to Las Vegas, staying at the Bellagio Hotel in an executive suit for 3 days!!!!

    So basically, I need things to do. I could probably hit the gym, slots, bar, and buffet all day, and perhaps the outlets, but maybe there are other cool things to do there :D I've never flown or really been anywhere outside of where I've lived (Florida and Maryland, and even then I really don't go anywhere), and I'm kind of a homebody, but I like to have fun! I'm sure my coworkers (5 others are going, including my boss) will have fun things to do like going to clubs and bars, but I'm sure there's more.

    Help me out BG! :D

    If you're interested in seeing a show, stay far away from the new Cirque shows revolving around Criss Angel/Elvis. Everyone I know who's gone to see them has fucking hated them (and they love every other Cirque show).

    Lock your friend on the roof of the hotel, then get so drunk you forgot what happened the night before.

    Oh, and take lots of pictures.

    Rhino's is crazy as there are close to 100 strippers walking around trying to get you into a private room. "VIP" rooms cost like $250+ and you'll need a CC to even come close to the room. Bouncers are outside the rooms if you decide to dash. Hookers aren't allowed on the strip, but they float around the hotel lobby's after midnight in the higher end hotels. Becareful uncover p.o's everywhere at night.

    Are you going with a group of people? If so, i suggest you get a table at a club. Tao, Pussycat Lounge, Chrtistian Audigier the Nightclub @ TI & Pure & Ceasar's Palace are places i've check out. I can't stress enough to get a VIP table if you're with a group of people. They only have bottle service which means you have to buy 1 bottle which is around $300-400. If you split it with people it ain't so bad. You get a VIP table, cover is included and it's money well spent.

    LaX @ Luxor, MiX @ Mandalay Bay are 2 clubs that are free to enter if you're looking for some place to grab a few drinks without paying for cover. Everything can be reached on the strip, bring walking shoes for the day. At night take a taxi, it's cheap. I could go on and on. Lol. I love Vegas.

    Beyond that?

    Um, there's good times at the hotel pools. And slots are gay (erm, wait, I mean lame, just go with me here Niro) - craps is -way- more fun and social. Play some online simulators to learn the game (just stick to the pass line and taking odds to make your money last) Gambling, drinking, pool, eating, shows, clubs - that's Vegas. Have a fucking blast.

    If you don't want to just hang around strip clubs fremont street is amazing.
    Lots of shops, all kind of street vendor types and the entrance to casinos all over the place. We stayed at the Plaza when I went and it was right outside, could hear the music all night.

    If you're at all interested in going to a sports book, Lagasse's Stadium at the Palazzo is amazing. Just ignore the association with a cheesy TV chef, the seating is awesome and the food is pretty damn good.

    It's Nirokun so the hanging around a chef > strip clubs.

    Is it all all all expenses? Air and hotel? I would start calling now to pre-plan for your prospective dates as there may be some blackouts on good deals like that, or at least limits, so plan well in advance to book the actual weekend.

    Shows get pricey but yes real le cirque i think you have to go. Also not sure what other diva's have big shows out there lately.

    Who are you taking? Plan on someone who you can count on to hold your hair back when you're puking!

    I'm not into women (mostly)! So strippers would have to be male, and even then, ew!

    I'm going with 4 women and a 21yo guy. Fuck him lol :D If we do go to a club with my boss, she's the kind of lady that is like, PUT IT ON MY TAB, GUYS HAVE FUN! Cool as hell. Beyond that, I'm not a "from the bottle" drinker, I need things made (extra sweet) for me :DD

    We're going to hit the clubs, most definitely. My cohorts have already agreed to go to the gay club with me XD

    I might have fun at the pool. I think I need to buy a bikini top though :X I'm used to my backyard pool with trunks and a (white) shirt, so nipples'a'plenty Have to cover up!!

    I'm definitely gonna try some gambling :D

    We have some SERIOUS shoppers (middle-aged women still looking good lol) in my group, so I'm definitely going with them :D

    Fuck yes, SUGAR SCULPTURE MAN SHOW ME SUGARY FANTASIA :DDD

    It is all expenses paid! We're on a nonstop flight on Wednesday morning (SO CLOSE)! I don't understand what blackouts are She's taken care of everything, we just have to be there and ready to go :D

    I want to see a show like that :D We'll keep a lookout :D

    Our group just consists of the office full-timers. The president/CEO (late 40s), the office manager (29?), the staff manager (47), and the 3 regular data entry staff (late 20's or 30 idk, me 24, and the 21yo guy.) We're close-knit and work a (as my boss has said) "brown business" so we've got eachother's back the entire way. And I definitely won't be puking! I had 6 drinks last night, no waters (until I got home lol) and no nausea during or hangovers after :D (I know my limits )

    If you're trying to pick a show once you're already there, right next to the World of Coke in front of the MGM grand is a place where you can see all the shows on the strip for that night, and buy tickets (usually at a cheaper price) for any of them. It might actually be in the World of Coke, I don't recall exactly.

    If you're looking for a Cirque show, my fiancee and I went to Zumanity at the NY-NY. It was a show that I would recommend for mixed gender groups. Yes, it's a topless show, but it's definitely more geared toward both genders than most. Although billed as "The Sensual Side of Cirque de Soleil", there's a high element of comedy, some music, and the impressive acrobatics you would expect from a Cirque show. It could be good for dates, but I think would be fun for a group that you are taking. It's a little erotic (but not overly so), pretty funny, and very impressive. And you have to get some of the drinks at the bar outside the show -- they are pretty explicitly named drinks that sound like they are right up your alley, as far as taste is concerned.

    We've seen the Blue Man Group at the Venetian, which was funny, and might be enjoyable for your group. I would imagine you'll know what to expect from thaem. We wandered up to the Venetian box office the day of and ended up with front row center seats.

    We also saw Fantasy at the Luxor, which was a more standard topless show. My fiancee described that as "It's like a bunch of cheerleading routines, except the cheerleaders are topless." I wouldn't quite describe it like that, but I can see where she was coming from.

    I'm sure there are some quality gay clubs in Las Vegas. Speaking of shows, check out Cirque as you can't go wrong there.

    The Rio has an amazing buffet, it's a bit off the strip though. T.I. has an amazing place to have breakfast buffet. Also it has the most expensive place to eat Pho. Close to $10 a bowl. /cry. The Fashion Mall has a stage that rises from the floor. Lol.

    Some hotels have topless pools, if you're ok with not covering up and not wanting to spend money on a bikini top. Ones that I know of are Caesar's and Flamingo.

    Nirokun is male.

    Spend your time indulging in debauchery any way you see fit. That's what Vegas is for.

    lol! I don't know what I am anymore, and I'm looking forward to seeing the doctors about it, but I'm thinking it is some kind of male/intersex thing going on. I have enough boob (not moob!) going on that I've been told I need a bra Anywhere from (aerides help me out!) "almost A" to small B. I just want something to wear under my tshirt, and vegas might be a nice place to try something new lol But it might not even come to that, the 10day forecast shows that it is going to be in the 60's/70's and rainy, which is cool by me. I would be perfectly happy running around naked in my HUGE ROOM :DDDD (And gambling and shopping!)
