When I went back in Sep. where I was lucky enough to hit the jacko, I spent one whole day from 6:00am to about 10:00pm going to every and I mean every single hotel just to get those membership cards cuz after you hit the jacko, you sure dont want to spend any of the money Oh I'll give you my cards so you can drop money in some machines or tables and I'll get some more comps plz

I'm not a big gambler so I like to sight see. When I was up there a couple of months ago I went up to Red Rock and also drove down to the Hoover Dam. Was pretty cool.

Good luck and have fun!

I was just there!

You can get good tickets to "O" by waiting in line at the ticket window an hour or so before the show!! Great show!!

The Hard Rock is one of the coolest casino's to hang out in!!
Check out The Palms!!! Their room rates are pretty cheap too!!

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. This forum is awesome!!

Rob, what exactly is Olympic Gardens? Also, I don't plan to gamble too much, but I know your a pro, so let's get together and give me a few tips on BlackJack or Pai Gow.

i highly recommend the Blue Man Group show, its WELL worth the 115.00 or so it costed us when we went. im gonna go again one day.

if you want tips on blackjack

www.hitorstand.net

its one of the best blackjack trainers on the net. dont pay attention to how much money in that game, vs the ACTUAL correct moves u make when playing.

good luck

I agree with the "BlueMan" show at the Luxor. If you do go to watch this show, a good friend of mine can probably get you in if not get you a good price for the show. Let me know before you go and I'll give him a call and give him the heads up.

For shopping, the Outlet Mall in Primm is a must! There's Versace, Coach, Ralph Lauren, TOD'S, Bally, Tommy Bahama, Cole Haan, and much more. There's some good savings out there.

It'll be cold at that time. Have fun!

Thanks for the suggestions, but I can't sell my wife on the Blue Man Group.
She's making me book Cirque du Soleil "Acrobatics", and Lance Burton
She'll be happy to hear about an outlet for brand name goods though...
BTW, how cold does it get in February? Will we need a heavy jacket or just a windbreaker?

Silvers808

last time i went in early march, it was like 50degrees out. id take a jacket.
