Review of Las Vegas 2005

Congrats on the first post. Give us a review on where you go when you get back home ........ and are recouped lol (notice my review was written MANY days later hahaha).

I guess this should be in another thread since it's already June, but anyway...

Friday night we started off at the Hard Rock. We tried to get into the club, but were turned down...even after we offered $500 for a room. I guess the management thought it was up for negotiation and asked double. Fuck them, the floor of the casino was the CRAZIEST party I've been to since going to Argentina a few years ago. It was absolutely packed with people, but forget about getting a drink at the Center Bar.

Drais was the best afterparty...BY LIGHTYEARS. We paid $30 to get in. The music was thrown down by a DJ who's mixing was on point, and kept the party bumping well past 7 in the moring (when we left). Tunes ranged from funky progressive to vocal and funky house. The floor was filled with beautiful people who came to dance, and there were plenty more lounging on the couches in the space across the hall.

Saturday night we arrived at Ice at about 1:30 AM...after paying $20 each, we were greeted by a half-full dance floor barely moving to Chrisitan Smith's tunes. I guess Christian has come to expect this from crowds in the States...too bad, he's a really good DJ.

Later we hit up Seven which didn't offer anything better. To be fair, the bouncer said it was only getting started at 3 AM...but the tunes didn't stray too far from cheezy late-90's prog trance, and we decided to check out.

:vomit2:

The bachelor party debauchery took other forms, which I can't discuss here...becuase, well, the groom-to-be asked me to never speak of it again. :)

Centrifuge - name of the bar in MGM that I referenced. Teatro and Centrifuge - best damn afterhours double-wammie combo in town. If you luv cool ass peeps that shake it, rock it, and let loose... this is the e-ticket.

I just got back from Vegas yesterday morning.

I stayed at theHotel @ the Mandalay only on Sunday night. I got the room thru priceline and it was about $180 for that night. On all other nights the rate was as high as $500. The room is nice, flatscreen TV's in the bedroom, living area and bathroom.

On Sat night I catched the 10:30 showing of O with the fam while a few of my friends went to Rain. They texted me and said it sucked. They wanted to leave as soon as they heard Billy Jean. My friend ONLY likes EDM so we decided to go to Ice. As soon as we got in we heard hip hop...he was so disappointed...then he noticed a there was a huge window looking through another big room. There we saw Christian Smith. Thank gawd!!! He stayed there for the rest of the night. As for me, I went back and forth.

I had a great time in Vegas. I only wish we clubbed/bar hopped more. I didn't want to go clubbing/bar hopping by myself. My cousins are such gamblers.

My times might be a bit off. But here's the review.

3:00 pm Ballys Hotel checkin

We were shocked. What appears to be unrenovated from the outside, inside it is most amazing hotel, and if you don't know "why" its amazing, we aren't telling you. Because of what we learned, go back over and over to this hotel.

5:00 pm Paris Buffet Dinner

Really the finest place in town to eat. For about $17 lunch or $25 dinner you eat some of the most expensive dishes you can buy, as much as you want. You easily eat over $12 in appetizers before you get to the entrees. No trip of decadence in Vegas is complete without some food decadence at the Paris Buffet.

9:00 pm Paris Croissette Bar preparty

Best bar in town. Cool ass staff and best friggen drink prices (shot of patrone for $8.25) in that area of town. Drinks to go, too. Best pre-preparty spot.

9:30 pm cab paris to Mandaly

Have to say ... had one of the best cab experiences in a decade. Older cab driver. Gave us all the inside gossip about "The Donald" versus "The Steve". Really, an amazing, fascinating, and funny as sht memorable cab ride. (Oh, and what he said about 5150 - hilarious.)

10:00 pm Mix @ Mandaly

Wow. Two bacholrette parties. One a party of 16 girls, yes 16, girls from Denver, one more hotter and :devil: than the other. Another party from SanFrancisco, four girls.

Drink prices - pricey ($9 for a shot of Cuervo); great staff; well pour drinks. Overall, the hottest crowd we saw in Vegas was at Mix. The cream of the crop (very Los Angeles crowd). But quite pretentious and very sedate. Best spot - the patio (inside is a waste of time).

11:00 pm cab ride to NYNY

Okay, second time it's happened in two trips to Vegas. You get in the cab. Meter instantly reads "$15". Cabby doesnt say shit. Being a former New Yorker, Ive seen this hustle in several other cities. So I start the interrogating. Same excuse as last trip "Oh, its broke." Eventually he backs off when he realizes we are onto him.

Side note - worse looking, unpresentable crowds anywhere in vegas - in new york new york floor. Horrible clientele of people.

11:30 Coyote Ugly.

Huge huge line. Line pass with lalate. Get in. Great decore. The show by the staff - nice. Drinks strong and reasonable. Ratios - decent .. but you can find some wild times in here especially amongest the girls that like you have gone to the other coyote uglies and expected to find bodyshots done by staff only to find none here.

12:00 MGM

Hit up Stage Deli. Good food.

12:00 Centrifuge

Omg. This place is amazing. Our second favorite place in Vegas. Last time we got to this place at 3 am and it was less crowded, more parting people. This time, earlier, it was very crowded, way too many dudes in corporate suits. Of course, the contrast of the wildness of the girls alongside the fortune 500 crowd is what made it great. Find (another) bachoreltte bride-to-be and get her to make out with another girl and watch how the stuffshirts corporate dudes mouths drop in this place. Best thing about this place - you make it what you want it to be. Wild wild wild :devil:

3:30 Studio 54

Brief stop. Not enough time to review. Huge line. Line pass w/ lalate and access to the VIP lounge with the free food.

3:45 Teatro

Wonderful. Digital Boy is an incredible dj, really incredible. Favorite place in Vegas. I wouldnt dare tell you what two girls said to me while waiting for the restroom. :devil: If I did, everyone would go to this club :heart:

Overall comments -

Crowds -

Some parts of the town were more crowded than Memorial Weekend.

Girls -

Less girls on holidays, more girls for bachorlette trips.

Guys -

Lotta convention looking dudes

Lines -

As long as memorial weekend or longer

Weather-

Stunning. Cool at night, pleasant during the day. Big surprise.

From -

Vast majority of vacationer cars with license plate holders were from L.A. city.

Gas station -

Get gas 2 miles out of town. Zero waiting time. The lines on Flamingo and Tropicana were ridiculously long for gas.
