  • Any Las Vegas Guru's out there?

    Hey CCW,
    The wifey and I are Headed to Vegas with another couple at the end of July, begining of August. Nothing planned except to trow a few dollars down a couple slots and do some people-watching, we'll probably catch one, maybe two shows while there....we're thinking Zumanity will be one of them.
    We have a hook up to get into a some clubs a couple of the nights, but was wondering if any of you have any Vegas unknowns to see or you maybe have a hook up yourself you want to share, or you got some usefull coupons laying around that you wont use. I dont want tips like "Dude, you gotta see the sunset on top of the Eiffel Tower!!", or "Dude, the roller coaster on top of Statospere is awesome!!!".... If you have some info that could be usefull on our trip, or even your favorite resturant I could take the wife to (no $100 steaks, please!), we love hole-in-the-wall type places, and it can even be off the strip cause we're planning to rent a car also. So, feel free to share what you know, no matter how insignificant it may seem to you, you can PM me if you'd prefer the info not be out there for everyone.

    Also, as many of you might do, I usually look up card shops when going to any city other than my usuals. So, I found a couple shops up there I'll be checking out. Have any of you been to any of the Vegas card shops?...expieriences? Im surprised that there are not that many card shows in a city like Las Vegas. My some-what smaller town even has a card show like twice a month!!

    Anyways, lmk if you guys/gals have any info for me......and there are NO dumb responses.....Unless you suggest the Sirens Pirate show in front of the Treasure Island!!!!

    Currently looking for:
    Football: The Gronk!
    Basketball: Dennis Rodman, Scottie Pippen, & Michael Jordan, 90's refractors or #rd stuff, Damon Stoudamire, Penny, etc.
    Baseball: Paul Goldschmidt & Mike Trout
    + HOFer slab bed or raw.

    Collecting University of Arizona current and Alum players!!!
    Go Cats!!!

      If you like shows, try a Cirque de Soleil show. I watched Mystere at Treasure Island last time and it was great. We went on a Tuesday night and got tickets at the back for $70. Because it wasnt full, they moved us up to the front row (which was like $185 tickets) for free.

        lol....that was definetly going to be one of our stops since its popularity blew up over the last couple years. Would like to get a picture with Chumly or whoever else is there.

        We'll be there early in the week, thru the weekend, so cheaper show tickets is definetly on the agenda.


        Anyone else??

          Well after watching a Cops marathon, some advice would be to stay away from hookers (they are obviously not legal in Vegas proper, go figure, Sin City right?) North Vegas looks scary so stay away from there, watch your wallet while walking around and keep your drinking inside the casinos. LOL Actually, my wife went there with her sisters and they went on a day trip to Hollywood, which she said was pretty cool. My daughter and her husband also went and they stopped at the Pawn Shop and were told that the main dudes, Chumly, The Old man, Cory and Rick are rarely there.

            It'll be tough.....but the wife and I will TRY to refrain from ordering too many hookers.....lol. I think I'm more likely to get a ride to jail from punching out one of those porn flyer-slappers....man, those guys are annoying!!!
            I had a hunch that the pawn star "stars" would be hard to catch.....once their wallets got fat, I'm sure they only started showing up when the camera's were rolling.....oh well, maybe we'll get lucky and catch Chumley.

            Some good advice so far....keep it coming!

                          The Excaliber jousing show is fun, I did that one years ago on one of my 1st time to Vegas.....ripping into a meal, while bangin my beer stein on the table for a refill during the show.....good times!!

                          We have the Renaissance festival here in AZ once a year, pushed up boobs everywhere, beer, turkey legs, staff walking around in charactor, saying "good morrow, sir!", jousting shows, and all that. Its a good time, but not our kinda thing EVERY year. We went once 2 years ago and havnt been back.

                          As far as doin the Heli tour.....we went on a heli tour in Sedona, AZ a couple years ago and had a blast......but like skydiving (twice for me), once you do it once, Im good for this lifetime, we dont have the urge to be in anymore Heli's.

                          Great suggestions guys....keep em coming!!

                            We seem to always find something different and fn to do in Vegas every time we go...

                            In no particular order, these are great!

                            1. Penn & Teller at the RIO. They do a meet and greet after every show.
                            2. Ping Pang Pong Chinese restaurant at the Gold Coast. GREAT Chinese food!
                            3. Pinball hall of fame! $10 lasts a long time in there! Much cheaper and more fun than gambling!
                            4. Twilight Zone 3D Slot machine! We played at the Gold Coast, but they are probably scattered throughout Vegas by now
                            5. Broadacres swap meet/flea market
                            6. It's fun to see the Pawn Star Pawn Shop once, but it's just like every other pawn shop except it's busy and half the store is show merchandise. When you leave there, continue north on las Vegas Blvd and hit the next "junkie" shop right on the the next corner from the pawn stars shop. Much cooler.
                            7. Next time we go to Vegas we might go check out Rick Dale's restorations. He's the guy who restores stuff for the pawn stars.
                            8. Check out the Toy Shack on Fremont Street. The owner is the guy who appraises the pawn star toys and the shop is AWESOME!

                            I know this thread was started in May, but you aren't going until the end of July so I thought these might help you figure out some fun stuff to do.

                            Enjoy!

                              Thx for the info.......

                              I like the Pinball HOF idea...im guessing there are playable machines in there, not just one's for show?? ....the wife might have to drop me off at this one while she shops elsewhere.

                              I like the swap meet idea too...that one is on my agenda for sure!....and the "other" pawn shop I didnt know about, Im not much into a pawn shop that carries merchandise of themselves!!!

                              Trip is still a month and a half away so keep the tips comin!!!!
