Bit like that?

Do you know where this is? It"s fricking miles away from the strip.

It"ll cost you $20 in a cab to get there and back (at least)...have at it if you will.

Jon will walk it.

Jon will walk it.

Made me chuckle Alan, yourself and mintrav are similarly sarcastic

Sarcastic? Moi??? I was merely pointing out that Jon likes walking.. more than spending money

lol, lulz

is it actually sarcasm when it"s all true?

I fancy a couple of rounds of golf on one (or two) of these desert courses in and around Vegas.

Any other golfers fancy it?

(Virgin will carry golf clubs FOC!)

I"am up for a game.Where do you fancy?

Fancy a drive up to Mesquite to play Wolf Creek?

I hadn"t got anywhere in mind... but 86 miles seems a bit excessive when there are loads of courses around LV.

@HankDHaney recomends Bears Best, Summerlin - http://www.clubcorp.com/Clubs/Bear-s-Best-Las-Vegas/Golf - about 10 miles west of the strip on W Flamingo.

Rhodes Ranch - http://www.rhodesranchgolf.com/sites/courses/layout9.asp?id=613&page=33162 - is supposed to be quite good also.

Has anyone tried Earl of Sandwich @ PHo?

I"ll probably focus on researching food places (I"m a closet foodie) that aren"t high-end restaurants.

Oh, and I don"t know about the rest of you, but Joobs and I plan on spending one afternoon at a shooting range.

ooooooooooo I"d like to do this

[HOLDorFOLD]

My bucket list includes:

1. learning to play craps as it looks fun and I like the idea of regular high fives with random americans.

Pizzled can help you out with this

Right - latest research shows the following sounds like fun:

FOOD:

For those of us who don"t really care what they are eating, then you can find a McDonalds/Subway/TGI Fridays etc etc etc all over. I"ve not really been looking at the high-end places but would link you to this twoplustwo thread which is about fine dining in Las Vegas.

For stuff in between, Joobs and I noted the following places:

The Cheesecake Factory - Despite the name, doesn"t just serve cheesecake. A full-service restaurant with big portions, good prices, and excellent cheesecake. Apparently. (Please don"t forget that I am a Vegas Virgin and have never tried any of these places!)

Hash House A Go Go - Just ask PaulieD about this place. He profiled it in his blog.

Earl Of Sandwich - Makes Subway seem like the rat burger vans you get outside nightclubs at 3am. Comes highly recommended in all reviews.

This twoplustwo thread is all about casual dining.

Also, don"t forget all the buffets - recommended ones include Wynn, Spice Market at Planet Hollywood and Cosmopolitan. Avoid Circus Circus!

My main tip though is to go to HERE. This is restaurant.com or r.com. What they basically do is sell gift certificates with restrictions on them. They also often produce discount codes up to 80% (currently 80% off using code HOT until 16th August). All you do is go to their website, find a restaurant you like the look of and see what certificates they offer. Buy one, put their code in and voila. You"ll be amazed at the savings. Oh, and yes, if a $100 certificate is reduced to $35 when you go to their site, that code does take another 80% off the $35!


GUNS:

The Gun Store
Discount Firearms
Las Vegas Gun Range

Make your own choice on this one!


DRIVING:

Exotics Racing - Must have a driver"s licence for this one. I know Duke and Joobs are definitely up for this. Driving Lambo"s/Ferrari"s etc around Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Drive Petty - As above, but NASCAR cars instead of exotic cars.

And for those without driving licences:

Fast Lap Las Vegas - Indoor go-karting. I quite fancy an Ironman race myself.
