Been to Vegas 50+ times.  Going back in Sept. Looking to see if anyone has any NEW ideas or places to go.  Not interested in strip clubs or the clubs.  Like i said have been to Vegas 50+ times so just looking to see if ther is a hidden gem out ther that i might have missed.  An example would be our last trip ( always go with the wife btw) we found out about a restaurant named Capo's.  Enjoyed the old school theme to it and food was good.  Please post any ideas and i will let you know if i have done that, been there.....   And the wife and i have been to MANY of the shows/restaurants/casinos/shopping  So please post and we can go from ther.  Thanks fellow members!

The first Friday thing downtown is pretty interesting if you're looking to get off the beaten path. Google it.

fremont street in general is surging - lots of change - ride SLOTZILLA - try lamb chops at V & As while you are in area

Freemont street on Friday night is great if you are looking for families and groups of 17 year old girls.

Hookers and blow don't age discriminate

Take a hike in Red Rock Canyon. Did this in March and was a great way to getaway from the typical Vegas.

Not sure if you use Trip Advisor, but I'd give this question a shot there.  A lot more active LV forum with people that have many likes and hobbies outside of just us sports bettors. Lots of people with many insights

We are renting a car for a day and plan on visiting Pawn Stars and doing the downtown thing (shopping at outlets, casinos, eat etc..)  Have been downtown numerous times but never been to Pawn Stars (something to check out as i like the show and i know the guys are probably not ther but oh well u never know)  Been tryin to see a show at the Smith Center but EVERY time on our trip nothing intrigues us ther.

"Bodies" The Exhibition was neat to check out. It's at The Luxor now, was at the Tropicana when I saw it a few years ago. If you're a smoker, the lung displays will definitely make you think twice before you take your next puff.

The lines at Pawn Stars can be brutal, get there early to avoid the heat.

If you must play the slots, goto Slots O' Fun.   If you wanna play slots and not bump elbows with a lot of people my age (old as dirt), again Margaritaville.  

Enjoy!!!!
   


Always had a good time at Harrahs listening to the dueling pianos and the carnival court.  Ther sportsbook sucks though

There is a nice little restaurant out at Charleston mountain about a 40 min drive from the strip, cant think of the name of it.  But its a quite little getaway and they have outside eating, great view of the vegas outline
