Vegas Recommendations

Where are you staying? We went two years ago at that time, weather was perfect....We'd enjoyed Beatles Love at mirage.

Spring for a Balcony 1 Bedroom Suite with a fountain view at the Cosmo, the wife may make it worth it! Make sure it is the suite, not the studio...the suite has an amazing bathroom that can set the mood. You'll understand once you see it.

Absinthe is always my first recommendation to anyone who hasn't been to Vegas in a while, and I rarely hear of anyone who didn't enjoy the show.

Take an Uber up to Freemont Street one afternoon, it is a different feel, and the people watching under the awning at night is worth the trip; it's a clown show! Think cheesy photo opportunities, talentless buskers, and possible fighting bums! Although, they also have paid acts that perform on stages throughout the area, that can keep the energy up. The casinos in that part of town usually have lower table limits at night than the strip casinos.

There are tons of great restaurants in Vegas, but for a outside the lines recommendation, Beauty and Essex is at the Cosmo... and it has a very eclectic menu of small plates. Been there several times, and everything has been great.

Planet 13 is like the Apple Store/Disneyland...only for cannabis. It is worth at least a visit; if you are into that sort of thing. I don't partake, but was impressed at what the industry could be across the country in a few years.

Depending on how long you are there and if you are wanting to do something besides gamble and lay by the pool during the day, rent a car and ride out to Red Rock Canyon and hike some of the trails. It is only about 40 mins from the strip.

Any Cirque de Soleil show. I've been to 4 different ones in Vegas, and all are very very good.

Just got back from Vegas, was there for NYE & got married. Do the Valley of Fire to Lake Mead loop, the landscape is beautiful, but it takes a few hours. The Mob Museum is cool. Dinner at the top of the Stratosphere was sweet also.

Joe’s crab shack Ceasar’s Palace....

Bring your wallet, but one of the best meals ever....

Gabriel Iglesias is playing at the Mirage if you want a comedy show

The Black Sheep is a hole-in-wall Vietnamese-American food restaurant that is pretty good. Get some salmon skin tacos

We are going back to Vegas in a couple of weeks. We were debating which show to see out of R.U.N and KA. I have not heard of Absinthe, but looks pretty good.
We went last year and saw "O". It was great.

Just went right before Christmas. Stayed at the Cosmopolitan in a room overlooking the Bellagio fountains. Everything about that hotel was bad arse.

Went and saw ‘O’ and ‘Mystere’. I enjoyed Mystere the most out of those 2, but both were great. I also saw ‘The One’ (Michael Jackson) on a previous trip and really liked it probably the best of the 3.

The Neon Museum is worth checking out, but you need to get a ticket in advance.

The High-Roller (huge Ferris wheel) is pretty cool.

The Bellagio & Cosmo both have really good buffets.

There are a shite ton of really good restaurants there in Vegas so I’m not even sure where to start.

But for shows, here are my favorites in order:
1. LOVE
2. O
3. Absinthe
4. Michael Jackson ONE
5. Mystere

I always stay at Signature Condos just behind MGM. Very nice rooms great price no resort fee. Connected to MGM. VRBO Great location on strip. Have fun.
