    I need to start doing that. Trying to figure out our room situation, our buddy got a cheap room at Planet Hollywood but no one else seems to have the same offer and it only let him book one room online.

    Gentlemen,
    I'm planning a trip for my wife and I in April to vegas. So far, we're planning on MGM Grand for 4 nights because they have (not sure if it's still available) a package for like $1300 including flight. Any other deals on cheap rooms and flights? Best hotels? Best steak? Best Show? etc etc etc....

    racer tell me about this facebook/app game. What can I earn in two months?

    Depends on how dedicated and level of degenerate you want to be, but with moderate playing you can probably earn about $150 in food and beverage.

    In no order. Anything center strip Caesars, Aria, Bellagio. On a budget Mirage, Planet Hollywood, Flamingo, Paris
    I've only had Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay best view of the strip at night, a great experience, great steak need reservations cause they book months in advance and Stack at Mirage absolutely amazing steak
    You'll have a great time at any Circue show. "O" is mind blowing.
    depending on the time and type of music you like you'll be there there are a couple good concerts as well

    What are the exact trip dates? This changes a lot as far as cost/deals.
    Hotels are up to the individual. They run from seedy and cheap to 5-diamond within a block of each other. If you're looking for cheap there is the Quad (Imperial Palace), Harrahs, Excalibur, and Luxor. They will be lower end and generally cheaper. Not bad, but far from the best. Mid-range will include NYNY, Monte Carlo, Mirage, Paris, Planet Hollywood, and Flamingo. They're nice hotels and casinos, generally have better food and bars, and pools. Getting into Lower-upper would be Mandalay Bay, MGM Grand, Caesars, and Venetian. All have high end hotels and dining, higher limit casinos, and lots of stuff to do and see. Not quite the best, but close. Upper tier 5-diamond will be Aria, Bellagio, Wynn/Encore, Palazzo, Cosmo, and parts of Caesars, MGM, and Mandalay Bay. High end suites, $500+ dinners, high rollers, and just all around classy joints. You can get the low tier at $20-50, mid $40-75, lower-upper $60-150, and the high end $100-250+ a night. All depending on your level of expectations of a hotel, budget, gambling bankroll, food tastes, etc.

    There are about 5 great steak places. Craftsteak at MGM, Prime at Bellagio, Cut at Palazzo, Gordon Ramsay at Paris, and STK at Cosmo are the ones I hear most about as great.

    Shows are up to you. There is always comedy, usually a good headliner somewhere. Cirque Du Soleil everywhere. LeReve. Various music headliners depending on the week and venue. Personal taste.

    The facebook game is MyVegas. Basically you play slots to earn credits to turn in for drinks, meals, show tickets, rooms, etc at all of the MGM properties. You have to turn them in 2-3 weeks out to allow processing time they say, so you may be able to snag some buffets or 2 room nights.

    Looks like we're gonna do a cabana at WET for the Pool Party on Saturday. It's also EDC weekend, which is a big electronic music weekend. Not upset about this. Hardwell plays at WET that Sat. I can't really differentiate between most of the EDM stuff, but will still be awesome.

    Also already got The Venetian booked. 2 1/2 months

    Going to Vegas in July for anniversary but Im stuck on which room to get. So far Im looking at MGM Grand City View Suite vs Bellagio Deluxe Fountain View Room. Bellagio has edge for view and location and price, MGM has edge for the nicer room. I enjoy gambling at both places so that really isnt a consideration. Leaning towards MGM but itd also be nice being right in the middle of everything at the Bellagio.

    Any opinions one way or the other?

    What are the prices you're looking at? Room size usually wins out usually for me, but I'm just not at all impressed by the MGM suites. I would bet you can swing a suite (maybe not fountain view, but a better suite still) at B for close to the same money.

    So finally gotten paid by everyone for the room. It was only $200/person.

    I get a handwritten note from the guy with one of the checks that says "let me know before you cash this, not a lot of money in the bank."

    We haven't even collected money for the pool cabana yet.

    I don't want to sound like some elitist prick, but dude, maybe you should just stay home if your finances are in that sort of shape. We decided on this trip in December. Sorry you haven't been able to get your finances in order during this time (he also has a good full time job, not a druggie/alcoholic, but just buys retarded shit all the time---has a ps4, xboxone, inordinate amount of games for each).

    I'd rather him not come and everybody else pay $100 extra for everything because he's just going to be bitching the entire time about money.
