    As far as shows go two I recommend are Beatles Love at the Mirage and Jersey Boys at the Palazzo. I saw both shows a few years ago and they were excellent, Also you mentioned staying at the Flamingo. George Wallace does a good comedy show at 10 pm at the Flamingo

    I made the mistake of going in August. It was like walking around inside of an oven. It doesn't really cool down at night either.

    I'd recommend to get some sort of a plan put together. We ended up roaming around and wasted alot of time trying to figure out what we wanted to do.

    Make sure you get one of those 3 foot margaritas.

    Also, I decided I was going to attempt to collect as many of those porno cards the hispanic guys are handing out on the strip... my wife was getting pretty angry at me but I had like 300 of them by the time we left haha

    Whoa! This is the place to go for information! Thank you, everyone. We still have a few months to go so we will have lots of valuable insight to sift through. Thanks, again.

    Agreed. It's crazy but awesome.

    I also agree that renting a car is a good idea. They're super cheap and every casino has free self-parking. Besides, Vegas is deceiving. Everything is not as close together as it seems.

    If gambling, you may want to stick to BlackJack or Craps. Both games do have the best odds. I personally like gambling at Mandalay Bay. They have a better selection of more top shelf spirits that you have access to, even if you play the slots. Plus, there is a great restaurant there called the Burger Bar. Great burgers and shakes.

    I never tire of the Bellagio Fountains.

    The Beatles Love is the best show I've seen in Vegas. If you look around, you can probably find discount tickets.

    Since your trip is longer, you may consider a sidetrip to Hoover Dam, with the newly built bridge they have there or the see through glass Grand Canyon spot. Neither are too far away.

    You should visit Downtown Vegas. It's old school and you can feel the history there. Plus, they have a zip line there now.

    I'm not exactly the most health conscious person in the world. Although I attempt to run regularly, especially when the weather warms up, I don't mind my share of Chipotle or burgers or pizza, etc.. Still I have no idea how anyone attempts to eat one of those (Burgers that is) I couldn't imagine doing a double based upon the size of the patty, let alont a quad.

    I absolutely love the way the owner addresses the health issue. No qualms, no excuses. Eat at your own risk.

    They're both good in their own way. Besides, for fast food burgers in Vegas, Farmer Boys blows them both away.
    All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.

    ehh, I've never been to In-n-Out, though I've heard great things, but I'll take Smash Burger over Five Guys every day of the week.
