Depends on what you mean by "can't miss".
- Ellis Island is a poo poo hole, but they have the best steak special in town (it's not on the menu, but trust me... $8 for a great steak, salad, potato, veggies and a glass of their micro brew beer or root beer.)

I'm in a foul mood today since Pep Boys hosed up my brakes, so forgive me if I seem jaded.

Excuse me sir, but I am a card carrying member of the Ellis Island Passport Players Club.

I will have you know that they brew their own beer on property, and have a loving amazing ribs BBQ special. You say "loving shithole", I say "$2 craft brews, $17 full rack of ribs, and Karaoke till your voice goes horse"

Does anyone know which buffets have king crab legs for dinner? A couple years ago it was a given that the higher end buffets would have them but lately it seems like even they've just been serving the snow crab.

Wynn has them chilled and split, but I'm always going to rep GVR crab legs buffet even if they serve snow. It's just too good with all them seasonings and shrimps.

I'm just in the preliminary stages of my trip planning but thanks for all the advice in this thread. My friend and I (both married & in our thirties) are using a work trip to cover as our "one last fun time" before his wife is due in May. We're staying at TheSuite at Mandalay Bay on the company dime and I also get 90 a day in per diem.

Our main goal is to drink every drat local/microbrew beer in the whole drat town. I can't wait to try to achieve this. Also, 90 dollars for Penn & Teller? I assume this is the type of money I'm looking at spending. I'm from the south...everything is cheaper in the south.

Hit the Yardhouse in Town Square. It's keg heaven.

Also try not to get sticker shocked over show prices. Sure, that's no chump change, but the production values are so high and polished that you will leave feeling satisfied. Go see Blue Man too if you can swing it.

Regarding your per diem, always bet on black.

My favorite cirque shows are, in order: Love, KA, O. The rest are kinda lame.

Blue Man is awesome. Inebriation mandatory for that one.

When booking a hotel, make sure to check (either on the travel site or elsewhere on the net) for resort fees. There are plenty of places that seem like they're a good deal, then you get stuck with a $15/night fee for the amenities.

If you're a skilled negotiator, a frequent visitor with a high enough theoretical win, or tip the front desk staff well you can get the resort fees waived. Just ask.

Incidentally, that movie is hilarious.

The famous desert scene, where Ace and Nicky meet "100 yards down the road from Caesar's" is a bleak desert.

I know it's a period piece, but it's still funny to me how fast the town grew.

Being alone in Vegas during the day made me an easy target, apparently. I got approached twice by men trying to pick me up.

There's nothing wrong with stringing some idiot along while he lets you shop at Crystals and gamble with his money.

Just sayin'

Happens every day.

People wear shorts/t-shirts/flipflops into the steakhouses. You will see shirtless men and women in dripping wet bikinis if you happen to wander into a part of the casino near the pool. Fashion is not a concern.

And it's a god drat crime, if you ask me.

Casual is fine for running around town, but if you're going somewhere nice, wear a loving suit you classless jerks.

Dress to match the venue, etc...
