Ledgie Parties in LV (is it too soon?)

[desertangel]

Guess I'm just a little too excited, but is it too soon to ask about pre-show gatherings? I know people are going on various nights and coming and going at different times.

My daughter and I are going the first night but we're arriving early the day before and leaving late on the 11th. Just curious... I'm already planning our activities and it's more than a month away! :blob1: :] :blob2:
I would love to meet some Ledgies and I'm sure she'd get a kick out of it too. She's a big internet-head... jes like her mom. :rolleyes:

:woohoo:

Where are you staying? I know there are a bunch of us staying at the Flamingo. My group is arriving the ninth but late in the evening. We probably won't even get to the hotel until 11.00pm or so. I will probably be tired from the travel and time change but amped at the thought of seeing Stevie and meeting everyone. I cannot believe it is now a month away. I am soooo glad I was talked into going. I would hate to miss something like this...especially the first show.

[David]

I'm hoping we call all get together & party & go to restaurants & sing songs & just hang out together!!

Count us in at the Flamingo. Theresa & I arrive on Tues 5/10 around 3:30, we should be at the hotel between 4 & 4:30pm. We leave late afternoon Thursday 5/12. I'm up to meet out whenever, wherever. :thumbsup:

[TwistedGypsy]

I think we're staying at the Flamingo also. We'll be getting there Tuesday morning around 10 and then leaving late afternoon Thursday.
:woohoo: Brit

I think we're staying at the Flamingo also.MITCH: "Didn't you stay at a hotel called the Flamingo?"

BLANCHE: "No! Tarantula was the name of it! I stayed at a hotel called the Tarantula Arms!"

BLANCHE: "Yes! A big spider . . . that's where I brought my victims!"

I will be there at the same times. Cept I'm not sure if I'm leaving Thurs or not. And I'll probably be at the hotel around 1-2.

We're staying at the Luxor. I'll prolly leave the house around 4am Monday, our flight is 8:30am and we have a two and a half drive to the airport. Our first night might be an early one too.

In the event anyone who's in town Monday night and too amped to sleep, here's a karaoke place and a list of all the places in town that have karaoke.

No way Theresa & I could make the Hard Rock. Much too far away from the venue, and we don't arrive until 3:30 on Tues. :shrug:

uh....me, too, then. (Is it really far?)
we should go somewhere after. People said they might be tired, but right after the show? won't everyone be all excited? And hungry?

[skcin]

It's off the Strip. Anywhere from 10 - 20 minutes in a cab depending on how quickly they drive/traffic/etc. I'm a nervous nelly when it comes to being on time, so I'd rather go somewhere closer if we meet before the show.

And we are so going out after the shows no matter what! :nod: :nod: :nod:

Just a suggestion, doesn't matter what day/time/etc. But Chinois is a really good Asian restaurant right in Caesar's (in the Forum Shops.) It's a Wolfgang Puck place - very good food & not too pricey. Extraordinary sushi, as well as other Japanese food. They also have Chinese food for the less adventurous. :p

Ah! I like that food, (japanese, not so much chinese) but people may want more regular food after. But i'm sure there's all kinds of places to eat, right close. :shrug: I thought Vegas was the land of cheap buffets? :p

[David]

Just a suggestion, doesn't matter what day/time/etc. But Chinois is a really good Asian restaurant right in Caesar's (in the Forum Shops.)Chinois is okay for the sushi, but we'd prefer to eat at the great little Vietnamese restaurant a block away. We will all meet there after the show. I'll be staying in Room 1209 at Caesar's & will have an open-room/house for Stevie fans that afternoon & the following day. Everyone drop by for some guacamole & a hi-ball!

Oh, definitely. No need to worry at all. There is no shortage of food in Vegas - any type, any place, any time. Even the smallest hotels have several nice restaurants & casual food courts. :xoxo:

The cheap buffets can be scary though. :eek: You have to be careful.

I would rather do something after. I will want to eat after the show and this way we can talk about the show. I would rather go someplace that has regular types of food because I am fussy. That is my input. :laugh:

I know that it is not that exciting but I think that there might be a Denny's near my hotel and the Flamingo. I know that Vegas is open 24 hours but sometimes it is still hard to find a place open for food. I will not be happy at all if I don't get to eat after the show. WARNING! :laugh:

[skcin]

I will also want to eat after the show. I used to have a really good listing of restaurants in Vegas including prices, hours, cuisine, etc. I will try to locate it.

One place that I wanted to go to last time but didn't fit it in was the buffet at Mirage - it's supposed to be different than the usual (I think you order the food from an enormous selection & they make it right away for you so it's fresh as opposed to sitting out for hours.)

I will start my food research......................................................NOW! :p

The Spice Market Buffet at the Aladdin, and the Bellagio's lunch buffet are awesome. Spice Market is supposedly rated really high in terms of food/price for Vegas eateries. The Paris Hotel has good French food (I know where to find Marissa...) too, but I think they're a little more expensive.

You think they're a little more expensive? :laugh: I won't be able to go near Paris on my budget. It is beautiful though.

Actually, it really is hard to judge just by hotel. Delmonico's (Emeril's place) at The Venetian is about $30 per person for dinner, which is not terrible considering it's a nice steak joint with incredible food at a 5 star hotel.

BTW Tiff, there's a cute little Japanese restaurant at Monte Carlo. Didn't eat there, but it looked nice.

[sodascouts]

Kristin and I are game for meeting up after the Tues. or Wed. show.

[desertangel]

Are you serious David? That sounds like something I would have done when I was younger. If you're serious, we're there. :woohoo:

Folks, I haven't been to Vegas since 1976. You might as well say I've never been because I remember very little about that trip. The Travel Channel aired a piece about The Palms (3 hour wait to get into the Ghostbar) last night and I got a quick glimpse of The Strip. It is a lot bigger and longer than I had imagined/remembered it. So I know what everyone's talking about getting around to the different places in a fair amount of time. Good grief. I'd better put a little more thought into what we're going to do while we're there or we're likely to end up spending a lot of time transporting or "Standing in a line."

I am up for whatever everyone decides about after the show on Tuesday. I'll keep checking back here to see what is decided. I'm not particular about what kind of food or how much it costs. The place at Caesar's sounds nice and convenient. Any chance it might be really crowded after the show or does it matter to anyone? Anyplace convenient to the venue would be best.

YAY! heehee

Lol, sorry... the one time I was there it was someone else's treat and he made us order without looking at prices, so I don't know what the avg. meal costs. French food though, so I can imagine. Japanese, eh? I think I can safely say that is one type of food I have never tried. Maybe we should check it out!

:laugh: I may not eat there but I certainly would love to go see it. I have to make a list of stuff i've been told to go and check out.

I was told to save up for food and drink for Vegas--my friend said saying you can eat in Vegas inexpensively? is a lie. If you go for the convience of the strip, you're going to pay more. She told me every morning at The Flamingo they paid 20 some dollars for the breakfast. From their hotel room, there was a sign that said "Five Dollar all you can eat breakfast" with pancakes on the sign. They tried to find it more than once but never could :laugh:

I plan on doing a little research but I am a huge $40 A Day/Rachael Ray nerd and she did a show in Vegas.

http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_ad/episode/0,1976,FOOD_9947_20749,00.html

Most is off the strip but i'm not sure how far away or if it's in walking distance for us.

Yeah... a lot of stuff is ridiculously expensive just because it can be. They know you don't want to venture too far offstrip and will shell out the extra cash to avoid doing so. There are some good deals to be found, though. You can definitely find breakfast for under $20. The Flamingo is whack, apparently :p. I'll be going out for breakfast, if that's the case.

There's actually quite a bit in walking distance. There are also cabs on every corner and it's pretty cheap to get around that way if you ride with a couple friends. Plus, if y'all ever want to go out to eat together or something, we'll have a car ;).

Oh, they're totally going to sell it to you because they know the average tourist is going to want convenience over savings. They've made the trip to Vegas to gamble and spend money--mind as well spend it on food, too. If there's anything i've learned from watching Food TV, it's to check for discounts with the hotel and to get local suggestions from the people working there. Plus, I do believe we have a few locals of our own from The Ledge that i'm sure can suggest something decent :nod: I'm down for whatever. (*waits for Kelly to interject with a "YOU NEVER EAT" :laugh: *) I'm sure even though I can be slightly picky (as Pattie apparently also is), it's looking like Vegas can please everyones taste buds (including us pains in the ass). It looks like if not dinner, I can get some breakfast at Le Village Buffet in Paris (croissant's with a little bit of butter and strawberry jam are my friend Tiff!). Apparently it's $10. That's the price you'd pay here for a decent breakfast.

Um, I'm not flying a few thousand miles to sit in The Flamingo so you bet we're going out to eat, etc. ;) It's not everyday I find myself out west (wait, it's never). < / long ramble>

[David]

There are some good deals to be found, though.Breakfast is great over at the Cannery, where Mirage gigged last October. We could all meet over there!

I like pancakes with syrup, cheese omelets, eggs Benedict, hash browns (crispy on the outside & soft on the inside) & a plate of real corned beef hash.

I chase it down with a hot chocolate or a vodka screwball.

[David]

David, I'll drop by for a Hi-ball, preferably just before the concert.
HAHAHAHAHAAAHAHA!!!!!

Drop on by!! I'm gonna have a karaoke machine ready with karaoke tapes of "Sweet Betsy from Pike," "Twilight on the Trail," "Pride" & Dame Edna's "Niceness"!!

Girl..I am so there for breakfast with ya. (um, even though you will probably just 'look' at that croissant) Breakfast is one of my most favorite meals. Personally, I hate eating late at night, it stays on my ass forever, but I can nibble and have a drink or whatever after the show. Plus, I want to jam in as much sight seeing as we can into our three days, I have never been west either. I am really glad we have Paula and Tiff to give us pointers. At least we will be able to figure out what is the best for us to see and how to go about getting there. I would feel like a babe in the woods without some friends who are familiar with Vegas. Kandace lived there too!

[skcin]

It is possible to eat cheap in Vegas, but you have to look. Those $1.99 buffets are:

1) Hard to find - they're more in downtown Vegas or smaller gambling towns like Laughlin (which is a very funny/scary/tacky/weird place.)

2) Scary when you do find them. :laugh:

Buffets can run anywhere from $9.95 up to $24.95, depending on where you go & what they have. MGM's breakfast buffet is very good, I think it's close to $20 though. Patty's right, there is a Denny's right near Caesars but it's a normal sized Denny's, so it's packed all the time. There's also a busy McD's around there, if someone wants a dollar menu quick fix. :laugh:

As far as going off Strip - it's not a bad thing, but we should definitely go after the show rather than before. God forbid we run late, or there's an accident or something. I would be so pissed. :nod:

There was a brew pub on the Strip that served burgers & stuff, I can't think of the name right now. It was farther down, near the Riviera/Circus Circus. I'll try to find out if it's still there. As time goes on, we'll figure out a place & time. We may have to start another thread to post when & where everyone can meet - Diss will kill us! :p

EDIT: I also am a huge fan of breakfast! :blob1:

I just took a quick look & that's a really good site. I narrowed the search down a bit & that made it slightly easier to retain all the info, lol. Sounds like the Spice Market Buffet @ Aladdin Tiff mentioned got very good marks. :nod:

Oh, and Riss? Rachel Ray kick ass! LOVE her! I have a couple of her books, the great thing is that you really can make those meals in 30 mintues.

I love Paula Dean too, mainly for watching purposes. I don't think I could bring myself to toss in a whole stick of butter into something like she does. :laugh: But damn, it looks good.

EDIT: Here's the review for the Flamingo. I'm glad we picked it. :nod:

http://www.cheapotravel.com/vegas/vegas_casino_full.php?hotel_id=1026#food

Pink & orange lights, 80's music, quick cocktail service, flamingo statues...it's like my own private paradise! :p
And I now really want to go to their annex casino O'Shea's, where the "younger, cheaper, louder, dirtier crowd" hangs out. Yup, that's me! :nod: :laugh:

Paula Dean....MmmMMmm...I loooove southern cooking. I'm dying to go to Savannah to eat at her restaurant :nod:

Several people I know have stayed at the Flamingo. They all say the same thing...it isn't terribly extravagent but the pool is amazing, everyone is very helpful and it's a nice place to stay. Plus, I hear if you have a room on the one side of the hotel, you'll have a perfect view of the Bellagio fountains :nod: Oh, and our hotel has live penguins and flamingos walking around...you can't get any more appropriate than that :laugh:

Oh, and I also found out, you can check in to the hotel at the airport. They have a desk inside :nod:

I will so eat a croissant (or ten). Usually I skip breakfast and head straight for lunch later on but oddly enough, when i'm away and on vacation, I end up eating breakfast. Two Jersey girls in Vegas...heaven help everyone ;)

So unless you're one of them, I don't know what you're talking about.

Sadly, I have not had the pleasure of banning anyway from the new board yet.

The Cannery is WAY too far from the strip. I would suggest the Peppermill Restaurant for breakfast, it is down the stip near Circus-Circus and Riviera.

Most of the buffets are edible for a few days. Atleast they will fill you up.

For those wanting to splurge one night for dinner, I suggest The Steakhouse at Circus-Circus. I have eaten at just about all of the steak houses in town, at one time or another and I find (Atleast of the strip) That one is best. Will run you about $30 or so which is as much as some of the buffets. They have large protions there. It is kinda out of place for a great place in there, but it IS good. Of course it will be higher if you add those pricey wines.

Otherwise there are lots and lots of restaurants on the strip. Just about any price from resemble to "What the F are they thinking?". For those that have never been there....The strip is LONG AND HUGE. You aren't going to walk the thing in one day unless you are nuts. After 3 of these megacasinos, most people go glassy eyed. Lots to see (much of it free). Also, if you want to see particular stuff, us locals get tickets discounts......so just ask. Also the big shows sell out weeks ahead of time, (AND CAN BE PRICEY) so if you want to see Mystere Or "O" or one on those, get reservations now.


Umm.....any questions just ask...... :)

When my parents and I went through Vegas back in 1998, you'll never guess what we ate....

Give up?

4 hot dogs for a buck.

I kid you not. :shocked:

4 hot dogs for a buck.

I kid you not. :shocked:Gah.
Its a good thing your duodenum didn't go into shock, christy.

I make it a point never to eat a hot dog that costs a quarter.

Nothing worse than hamburgers with bones in em & hot dogs with veins.

[AliceLover]

I have a feeling all i'm going to be doing is swimming in the hotel pool and doing homework in my room because thats basically all there is to do in Vegas for teens.

Any suggestions?

You know it's possible she could play Alice :nod:

As for banning, I believe Cayla is the only person I have banned besides spammers back on EZBoard. Oh, also that Todd Davey guy and the girl pretending to be Kristen. So unless you're one of them, I don't know what you're talking about.

Sadly, I have not had the pleasure of banning anyway from the new board yet.

try to make one of the Vegas shows, Just have to see how everything plays itself out in the coming days (A rather large medical malpractice suit will be fast approaching...I will be stressed from that alone, But they took my Mother so I feel the urge to make sure they never f**kup anyone else!!!) so I may show up to party with y'all...

[seeker007nmss]

I may forget a few things, and I won't list the various shows, those are kinda expensive, but here are some things to do. Some might be boring to some, but atleast the options are there. Most are free, or less expensive than the mega shows


Things to do in Vegas besides gambling (For teens and others) in no particular order:

At the Tropicana: Las Vegas Museum (old chips and things)
Titanic relics (good show saw it at the Rio a few years back)

New York, New York : Has rollercoaster - real fast and high

Manadlay Bay: Shark Reef - Big indoor Aquarium with walkthrough shark exhibits and critters

Luxor: Eygyptian exhibit, 3D motion rides, Arcades, Talking Camel Statues

Excaliber - Jousting show, various acts throughout the day, arcade

MGM - Lion habitat,

Alladin - Dessert Passages - big shopping area with "rain storm" inside kinda cool

Mirage- Dolphin and tiger areas - volcano out front

Treasure Island - Sinking boat show out front - more adult orientated now, not the pirates anymore

Circus-circus - Adventuredome (largest indoor amusement park, arcade, circus acts

Venetian - large shopping area with gondalas, various acts, and water course (on second floor). Gugenheim museum is showing Egyptian artifacts from Cairo museum. This place is worth a trip to see how much detail they did when they built it.

Ceasars palace - Large shopping area with Staute show, 3d rides, etc.

Hilton - Must see Star Trek Area for your Treakies/Trekkers (whatever) out there. Quarks Bar, and shows and shopping.

Imperial Palace - Huge Antique Car exhibit

Paris - go to top of eiffel Tower, various wandering acts in shopping
area

Stratosphere - very scarey (to some of us) rides at the top. Rollarcoasters

World Of coke - If your a coka-holic this is Mecca.

World of M&M's - Everything M&M you ever wanted and more. Colors and flavors found no where else.

Fashion Square Mall - Big Mall on the strip

Sahara - Rollarcoaster and Nascar stuff

Bellagio - Fountain show, Arboritum (inside), and various artwork scattered throughout (Degas, piccaso, renoir...etc)


I know there is a ton I have forgotten, but that is off the top of my head. There are more arcades, shopping, shows, etc......But the above are all on the strip.

Close to strip:

Hard Rock - mostly for its memmoribilla displays.

Rio - Has great free show that is Carnival/Mardi gras theme with floats and beads etc....big things fly around from the casino ceiling with dancers on them...etc.

Tons of clubs, nightlife, bars,...etc.

One tip: BRING COMFORTABLE SHOES - a lot of walking even after you enter these megaplaces. These are HUGE. First timers just don't understand how big these places are. (For instance..if you walked the complete ring of shopping at the Alladin Palace it is almost 2 miles I think they said).

Also the strip is great to people watch....Just when you think you have seen it all......And you can walk through each casino and check out each theme. They put alot of detail into them, so much to see. All have some sort of shopping, some better than others, and restaurants up the wazzoo.



Hope this helps. :)

[AliceLover]

Wow thanks Seeker!

I really wanna see that Titanic shoe and Aquarium. Lots of malls and stuff is cool, i cant wait!

The have a jellyfish tank that is just great at the aquarium! They seem to "glow". And the shark walk through area (they are all around you) is cool.
(For you Monty Python fans: Fishy...fishy....fish)

The Titanic show (If it is the same one from the Rio - same people) - was just Wonderful, although I was kinda put off by them "looting" a sea grave and all. But they did a good job of telling the story, and brought up ALOT of stuff from there. They recreated the Staircase and rooms and things - Just fantastic. Worth a see.

[GardenStateGirlie]

The Titanic exhibit was at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia for several months over the past year and just left in January. I had the opportunity to see it and I must say, it's worth it. I don't want to give too much away but upon entering, you're given a ticket to the ship with a name on it and a detailed description of the person that you are (where they're from, class, etc). At the end of the tour, you find out whether or not your person survived or perrished on the Titanic (at least that's how it was here but that might be because there were several local ties?). Lots of great artifcats and information for history and Titanic buffs.

[GypsySorcerer]

As far as Ledgie parties go.....

1) I'm up for anything

2) I'll eat anything.

Thanks so much for posting that list. It's exactly what we were hoping to find somewhere so we know where we're going once we get there. We will be sure to bring walking shoes, sounds like we'd be hating life if we didn't.

:) this is gonna be waaay cool!

Seeker, thank you soooo much for that list. I just printed it out to bring..it is amazing and very helpful. Riss...we need to check out soo much!

Can you tell me where the Palms is in relation to the Flamingo/Caesars? I would like to check that hotel out, see Rain and the Ghostbar. Not "go" to the Ghostbar as I know the wait to get in is crazy etc but I do want to see the place. I think it looks like a really neat hotel.

I have a list from my friend as well. She's written a bunch of stuff down, told me places to eat and places for cheap drinks, etc. One of my coworkers leaves Monday night for Vegas and is bringing me back stuff. Combined with Seekers list (thank you for that, btw), WE NEED ANOTHER DAY OR TWO!! :laugh:

The Palms is off the main strip. If you or anyone else needs to check out distances, etc, this is a really good map of every hotels location....

We honestly couldn't have picked a better place to stay :nod:

Honey, the only thing you can't do is go onto the actual casino floors. The options are limitless! Seeker's guide is an awesome start. :nod:

Like she said - if you've never been, you can't even begin to comprehend what it's like. DO NOT try to wear cute shoes/outfits when you're walking all over the Strip - you may die. :laugh: Sneakers all the way, baby! Bring your camera, a Strip map & same cash in case you just can't take it anymore & need to catch a cab (just remember, cab's can't pick you up on the street, you have to go to the hotel cab areas.)

I think if anyone wants to meet for drinks before the show, it may be a good idea to either meet up close to the venue: maybe at Caesars or if many of us are at the Flamingo, then there. Another option is NYNY (which is about a 15-20 minute walk, but a cab would be very cheap esp. if a bunch of us got one or two together.) There's a nice Irish pub style place in NYNY, as well as a coffee shop.

As far as afterwards, wherever's open, affordable & good will suffice. :p We can all figure that out later.

One recommendation I do have is the Stratosphere. You must go to the top to the observation deck (I think it's $12?) and I personally think it's better at night. :nod: A bunch of us (who aren't scared of heights :cool: ) should go after one of the shows & take some group picks up there.

[desertangel]

Yah, I originally wanted to stay at Treasure Island because it's a little more centrally located. But I let my daughter pick the hotel and she wanted the Luxor which is all the way at the END of the strip. I was like ooohhhhh nooo. I checked out their website and I know why she wants to stay there. It's just gonna make it hard for getting around. We'll have to literally abandon our hotel for the day. I had hopes of staying some place where we could stop in and rest up for an hour and then go back at it.

Well... so much for the bellyaching! I'm sure we'll make the best of it and it's gonna be a lot of fun!! :woohoo:

This is a great suggestion. Cash for a cab - when you get tired is a must. You may think "Oh , we can do that......" and by the end of the day, any price for a ride back is worth it!

I also did a little more research and found the following...

www.bell-trans.com offers a shuttle to and from the airport roundtrip for $9.50 per person. Their number is (702) 739-7990. When you arrive at the airport, you go through baggage claim and look through door #12. They will have shuttles at that location.

Apparently, Las Vegas also has a trolley that will take you up and down the strip. It's $1.65 exact change to ride. The trolley begins at the Stratosphere at the northern end and goes to Mandalay Bay casino (the southern end).

Laura, The Luxor has an IMAX theater inside which would be awesome to do as well.

I'll post more when I find more information.

I think you're thinking of the monorail - that thing's down half the time. There are several trolleys going up & down the strip all day long & they're always in service as far as I know.

[thepoetinmyhear]

Folks who still haven't found a hotel should check out Lasvegas.com by the by. There is a great deal at the excalibur there for $58 a night during the week which includes 2 dinner tickets, 2 rollercoaster tickets and $20 off (total) their "tournament of kings" show. It's called the Spring Faire package. Just a heads up.

There are several trolleys going up & down the strip all day long & they're always in service as far as I know.Yeah but remember that anything with wheels on the main strip is going to be sitting on it most of the time because of the traffic. In your car it takes 15 mins to go a block or 2 on the Strip

On a Tuesday or Wed? During the day? Seriously?

The only time we had major traffic issues was on weekends & sometimes in the evenings. It's a busy street with lots of signals, but it's not like there's a ton of traffic jams.

Oh well, just be prepared for anything & give youself extra time to get places. :)

[SuzeQuze]

I will be there at the same times. Cept I'm not sure if I'm leaving Thurs or not. And I'll probably be at the hotel around 1-2.

I think that's when I am arriving too. :nod: And I'm taking the red eye out Thursday night.

[SuzeQuze]

:laugh: I may not eat there but I certainly would love to go see it. I have to make a list of stuff i've been told to go and check out.

I was told to save up for food and drink for Vegas--my friend said saying you can eat in Vegas inexpensively? is a lie. If you go for the convience of the strip, you're going to pay more. She told me every morning at The Flamingo they paid 20 some dollars for the breakfast. From their hotel room, there was a sign that said "Five Dollar all you can eat breakfast" with pancakes on the sign. They tried to find it more than once but never could :laugh:

I plan on doing a little research but I am a huge $40 A Day/Rachael Ray nerd and she did a show in Vegas.

http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_ad/episode/0,1976,FOOD_9947_20749,00.html

Most is off the strip but i'm not sure how far away or if it's in walking distance for us.

Here's a little update:

The best buffets are apparently Bellagio & Paris, but both are "gourmet" and are about $25 for dinner (one idea given was do lunch at Bellagio for $15 - they claim it's very much worth it.) Slightly cheaper but still rated very good ($15-$20) are at The Aladdin (Spice Market Buffet,) Cravings at Mirage or the buffets at Mandalay Bay or MGM. However, NONE of the buffets are open past 10pm, so going to one after the show is out of the question. I know the buffet at Boardwalk is open all night, but I also know the buffet at Boardwalk sucks ass. :o

As far as 24 hour joints to eat after the show, there's America @ NYNY (coffee shop/restaurant), Sidewalk Cafe @ Bally's (coffee shop/restaurant), Fix @ Bellagio (burger joint - the reviews sounded really good!) I'm sure there's more places, but I've just started searching.

More casual places in general are Brew Pub at Monte Carlo, Blue Iguana at Circus Circus (I've been here, pretty good Mexican food& great margartias!) or Nine Fine Irishmen at NYNY (bar that serves sandwiches, burgers, etc. I believe Irishmen is open until 2am, not sure about the rest.

Also - here is a basic map of the Strip for those who haven't found one. Remember - something that is "next door" to something else is still a good 10-20 minute walk at least. :D

I'll be thinking of you while I'm flying in Tuesday morning. :wavey: I'm thinking Thurs am may be pool day for us, since we're leaving late that afternoon. :nod:

Coworker just got back from Vegas today. She says the monorail IS currently working and it's $3 roundtrip. Hopefully it'll be up when we're there :nod:

YAY! That's great news, thanks for letting us know. I don't want to be stuck at the far end of the strip (Luxor) for 3 days for lack of a cheap way of getting around. I have to see The Venetian and Fremont Street Experience.

Oh, Riss I am going to hang with you poolside Tuesday morning. I cannot wait girl. The smartest thing you did was talk me into flying in Monday night. I would have been a wreck and a half arriving into Vegas at 3:30 on Tuesday...one small plane delay... and that would suck. Plus how long does it take to get to the hotel from the airport at dinner time? I would want to shower, freshen up and check out the surroundings before the show and I would have been so rushed. Sooo, yes, cabana Tuesday morning. NO CAMERAS allowed.
Laura, it is a shame you are staying so far up the strip from alot of us. I know about 12 people so far whe are staying at the Flamingo so we can hang in the lounge or something if we want and gab. Less than a month away now! Hooorah.

[bikerchic]

......Beach Club: It's right next to the excellent Flamingo pool, where you can see women in their 40's sunning themselves wearing sensible swimming gear. Sizzling!

How'd they know I'd be there! :laugh:

She told me I HAVE to check out Fremont Street. She had three full days there and said that simply wasn't enough. There's so much to see and do but she said we're all going to have a blast. I can't believe it's only 20 some days away...

I figure since our sleep schedules will be totally botched while there, we'd probably wake up early in the morning and could catch some early rays poolside :cool:

I'm glad you ended up changing your flight. It just would have been too much trying to get there and get to the show right off the plane. One little delay somewhere and you would have been screwed. After having paid all that money for a ticket (and flying out there), the last thing you want to do is miss that show. Cabana Tuesday morning (illsobringmycameraandyoullneverknow :p )

Laura, i'm sure you could come and hang out with us by the pool, etc. and no one would be the wiser. We won't say a word ;)

[kato]

That is exactly why I to decided to fly out Monday night

I know, da*g it!! Well... my daughter and I decided this trip is going to be a destination vacation getaway where money is less of an object, so I let her pick the hotel. Otherwise we'd be at the Best Western Mardi Gras. My hope is that we will at least be able to get together with you folks at Margaritaville after the show. Glad you're flying in a day early. All the reasons you listed are exactly why we're coming in Monday too - and so we can spend more time in the sun. It's been raining for days on end here and I can hardly wait to GET AWAY!! :D

Shut up & stop stressing me out, beyotches!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

:o

I know what you mean, but Theresa & I just couldn't pull off a Monday flight. Both times I've flown direct to Vegas from here I got in 15 minutes early & was at my hotel within an hour of landing. So PLEASE send us your good vibes that all will be well again! :nod:

Awww...we didn't mean to freak you out :xoxo:

I didn't know you were coming in on Tuesday. My only reason was that I just didn't want to get there and feel like I was being totally rushed (mainly because I'm a girly girl AND a huge slowpoke...a deadly combination). If you happen to be flying Southwest, every experience I've had with them, i've arrived 15-25 minutes early. Assuming the weather is decent, I don't think you guys will have any problems. What time is your flight expected to land? Are you direct flight or do you have a layover? (it looks like you guys are direct which is a good thing).

Will be thinking positive thoughts for sure :nod:

[amber]

Will be thinking positive thoughts for sure :nod:
That's good, cause I can't get into my room until they get there. :nod:
I arrive about 1:30 or something.

1:30 isn't bad at all :nod: How long is that flight. 45 minutes??

[amber]

1:30 isn't bad at all :nod: How long is that flight. 45 minutes??
um, I think longer, like an hour and a half? My flight leaves at 11:30 ish and gets there around 12 something...yeah, 1:30 is good. I didn't want to get there at 3 something either, it didn't seem like enough time. Although, if I can't get into my room, I suppose I just may be able to accomplish eating and maybe pool lounging (if they let me) by the time I get into the room. But it will be nice to rest and gather myself, I guess. Maybe I can say "hi" to some people who will already be at the Flamingo. :shrug:

[skcin]

We are set to land in Vegas at 3:30pm & it is a direct flight through Southwest. :nod: I've never had a problem before, I'm sure I won't have one now. I? Love Southwest. :p

I don't like rushing either, but we'll manage. I figure even if we do run late, then we just check in, change clothes & run to the show. We will NOT miss it, that's for damn sure. :thumbsup:

Amby - maybe you could meet up with Riss & Kelly at the hotel since you're getting there early. At least that way you won't have to sit there by yourself for 2 hours. :shrug:

Unless, of course, Riss & Kelly hate you & don't want to hang with you. In that case, you're scewed. :p

I'm not screwed because I'm sitting by myself for 2 hours. Sheesh. :rolleyes:
and if you get to the hotel by 4, that still gives you, like, 3 hours to get ready. should be plenty o' time, I myself would only take about 45 min to 1 hour, including shower and outfit picking. :p ie - "this one or this?" :laugh:

:laugh: I feel the same way. I'll be flying in that afternoon but arriving at 3 for an 8:00 concert (what time is the concert?) seems like plenty of time to me! (knocks on wood) Also, I'm excited about Margaritaville after, I haven't had good Mexican in a while and I love the 'ritas for sure.

I won't be too casual. Not like your dress, though. Cause I'll be wearing black. But maybe with my Stevie shirt, it's all burgundy and dark orange and swirls and gold threading. definitely dress or skirt, though.

Oh cute. I was thinking that I could use this as an excuse to wear flats, that I don't want to be too dressy. There are some fun gold thongs out there! Since it's a baby doll style it can be dressed down.

I would go all out if I wanted, or had the clothes. But it is nice to wear flats. On the other hand, you may be sitting the whole time. I, personally, wouldn't worry about being to dressy, but that's me. Flaunt it if you got it!!! Own It!!! Work It!!! Command Your STyle!!! :laugh: (sesly, though). Did you see those red velvet seats? It makes me want to be dressy..... :p

You're a doll. I did see them! That is probably why I got it into my head that I had to dress up, the place is just elegant! Besides, I clean up real good. :laugh:

Yes! :D Besides, what I'm thinking, is that in my regular life, I hardly get chances to dress up (you may have more, but) so, if anything even remotely resembles an opportunity to dress up, I will. So you should definitely rock it. Plus, aren't you going two nights? That gives you another opportunity to wear what you want. I was thinking of trying to rock that green dress I got, but it's not quite as flattering as I would want it to be. I'm still having much shoe trouble. Also, I'm hoping I won't need a jacket for evening, but I'm pretty sure I will. That's kind of bumming me out. For the record, I'll probably be wearing high heeled thongs with my outfits.... :D silly? oh well.

I haven't had many chances to dress up in quite a while and I am such a girly girl. And, I love heeled thongs! Go for it. Also, if you want to try the green dress, you can get a Nancy Ganz shaper from Filenes or Macys. They are not like girdles and do the trick. Although if it's hot, they're not too comfortable. They're better than pantyhose though, those are evil, blech. And yep, I'm going to 2 shows, so now I have to decide which night to wear what! :laugh:

I'm not getting a shaper, no way, but thanks for the suggestion. The dress is so tight, it seems a shaper would show. 'Sides, the main problem is thighs, the shaper won't help that, will it??? Actually, I'm not buying anything tween now and Vegas. :( Including food.... :lol: JK. What do you have in mind for the other night? :D

[skcin]

I'll be pretty casual during the day (shorts or capris, T's or tanks, sneakers or very comfy sandals for walking.)

At night for the shows, I do plan to dress nicer. I'm thinking I'll leave my Stevie garb (platforms, black hankerchief skirt, black bell-sleeved blouse, scarves) at home, I haven't decided yet. I will be wearing the sheer tank with beading on the neckline I just bought (see shopping thread) & I'll almost definitely wear that with jeans & sandals. I've also decided on a black beaded blouse I wore for NYE last year, either with jeans or black pants.

I am terrible with heels, so we'll see how that goes. :rolleyes: Wedges are back in, supposedly. Maybe I can teeter along on those... :o

Of course, this all depends on cash flow - I may end up with my black boots (cuz I heard somewhere that I can wear them all summer long if I want to.)

FYI -

I remembered a cute little brew pub right on the Strip. It's called Holy Cow & it's down near the Stratosphere end. Very reasonable prices and good food. Hopefully it's still there.

Same here, dah-ling... I'll be sittin on the bench with my shoes off, rubbing my stinky feet.

Night of the show I'll dress up a bit; black pants and a pretty scoop neck top with black strappy sandals that have about a one inch heel. I'm traveling light and casual; khaki capris, black tank and black Zeeta sandals. Levi jacket if it gets cold. I'll pack a couple of other nice tops just to change it up a bit. I found a cute bathing suit coverup that could double as a shift if it gets really hot. I thought about my long black lace dress and flat black suede ankle boots, but my daughter is going and she wouldn't feel comfortable with me dressed like that... so I'll spare her the agony. I don't get to dress up much either, but I've managed to put on 20 extra pounds over the last year so it's okay.

Our tickets came in the mail today! :blob1:

Every once in a while my feet will bother me. My family is certain i'll have some serious issues when i'm older due to the shoes I wear everyday for work. I love my shoes but I don't doubt i'll pay for it later :distress: Oh man...packing...thank God Kelly will be the only one to see me with my bag. She and I pack like we're going for months...you should have seen all of the crap we bought with us to Atlanta last year. The suitcase I use? Came with me for 12 days in France. I'm sure it'll be packed :laugh:

I think I am scaling back a tiny bit and only bringing ONE bag this time around. Plus a carry on.
I am doing the casual thing during the day and dressing nice for the show. I just bought a nice pair of white capris with a pretty scarfy belt type thing. Maybe I will bring those. I need some new shoes!

Man, that's the same way I feel and hoping I don't regret not having brought enough. My carry on always looks like a pregnant guppy. Darn shoes take up an INCREDIBLE amount of space. They should be collapsable, like a pocket knife. Not sure how much my daughter will take, it's not my business, but secretly hoping she only brings carry on. I hate standing in baggage check lines and standing at the carousel for pick up. Yawn.

Marissa and I will definately be doing the luggage belt because her suitcase would not fit into TWO overhead compartments! Neither will mine as it will be overstuffed.

Very cool. What are you wearing? For opening night I may wear a black spaghetti strap long black dress with gold metallic thread down the back in this awesome pattern. Or, I have one that is short with a diagonal stripe of silver thread down the front, it is VERY vegas. I don't want to buy another dress! I'm going to wear my new one on Wed.

[skcin]

Ooooooooh, you guys are doing dressy-dressy, huh? I do have this really gorgeous long black slinky dress with a turquoise llining & embellishments on it. Maybe I'll go for that if I won't look overdressed.
