Wynn is Vegas nice, which is probably near the upper end of hotels in the US but the US hospitality industry is laughable.

BizarroAzrael posted:I've just realized that going for time I'm looking at I might be in Vegas for US Thanksgiving, should I look to avoid that? Do things shut down? Las Vegas casinos never stop though shows may be dark and stores will be closed in the morning. The Christmas shopping season in the US usually gets started Thanksgiving afternoon.

BizarroAzrael posted:Yeah I just had a proper look at Sahara and completely see what you mean. A sharp discount came up on Booking.com with Four Queens for like 40 dollars a night so I've booked that cancel-able, may still look elsewhere as it's not an ideal location and the pool looks blah. I may even change hotels part way through. Four Queens, that fuckin place. Love asking for a room not on Fremont Street, opening the curtains, and there's a huge rear end speaker RIGHT THERE.

I wouldn't sweat walking to the Strat at all. It's a couple of blocks north of Sahara and if you can't handle walking past an IHOP and tattoo parlor at 2am consider avoiding Las Vegas entirely.

BizarroAzrael posted:Might spend a couple hundred more on Treasure Island, which is a better location for me and because of stories like that I've found. It's not being made easy for me though, Booking.com doesn't say if the price includes the resort fee, so I booked a cancelable start to see if I could find more messaging them about it and right there in the breakdown it shows that the fee is included. Could have made that easier for both of us guys. Might be able to save a bit more through TI's website as there's an offer for "Optional resort fees" if I don't mind not using the fitness center. Hopefully that let's me earn Radisson points but lol, their site links to the old, original Radisson Rewards sight and not the new Americas one they split off from it for some loving reason. It was $20 a night at the time and I got what I paid for but basically don't stay on Fremont Street is the moral of the story.

Ghislaine of YOSPOS posted:heading to Vegas with no specific plans this weekend with some friends. area 15 looks awesome. is there anything in particular there that will sell out i should get a reservation for? planning on hitting up the pinball place too. will also probably try to take down a poker tournament. been watching YouTube on how to count cards in blackjack as well so I am expecting the trip to be pretty cheap after all of my profits. lmao

BizarroAzrael posted:It's not completely specifically Vegas, but I'm looking to go around Halloween time and tack on a visit to New York (that is, the actual city and not the casino) Every time I've taken a domestic redeye in the US I've regretted it. Further, the Las Vegas airport currently has one of the highest rates of flight delays and cancellations, and if you're there at the end of the day and your flight gets boned there's a decent chance you have to stay at the gate overnight or go back into town and get a hotel. I'd personally just plan to stay the night and get a morning flight the next day, if you're looking to pinch pennies you could get a room at one of the cheap hotels near the airport for your last night but it may not be much less than where you're staying the rest of the time there. And even if you can't check in hotels will almost always hold your bags for you if your room isn't ready so don't drag them all over Manhattan on your first morning if you do elect to take the redeye.

Judgy Fucker posted:My buds and I are gonna be in Vegas in a couple weeks, we're all staying at Caesars properties (Horseshoe up to Harrah's). We have no intention of getting in a car while we're there. Will we be able to walk that little bit of the east side of the strip? Down to Cosmo for Wicked Spoon, over to Ellis Island, or across the street to Ceasar's sportsbook? That was easily doable in early August. Getting across Las Vegas Blvd was a little annoying since some of the crosswalks were closed but you could still do it.

Teeter posted:I'm looking for recs on something for my wife and I to do during a Saturday afternoon in Vegas. We've been like 30 times and know the city well, just looking for hidden gems or the big attractions that we've consistently passed over. No transportation so we'll be looking for something near the strip this time. Atomic testing museum and Omega Mart are both a lot of fun and not super far off strip.

Superrodan posted:Man, it seems like such a bad idea to build a baseball stadium at the end of the strip like that. It's already a pain in the rear end to drive, baseball games are like 140 times a year or something ridiculous and a lot of those are going to be home games. Isn't that also the main exit for the airport? Airport dumps out a few blocks away but yes it's an insanely bad location for traffic.

WhiteHowler posted:Speaking as someone who has been to DEFCON, if you're not in town for the event, I recommend staying away from Vegas -- or at least the Strip -- that weekend. It sounds like Caesar's canceled their 2024 contract last-minute, so it's moving to the convention center, which may affect attendance. lmao at this entire thing

Absent additional information I'd do the live performance and if afterwards you felt like you needed to go back and check parts out in more detail do the self guided version the next day.
