FWIW when I was in Vegas in June I had a great night in Town Square on advice from
a few locals. Good food/bars/live music etc. Beer was sooo cheap early & ate for $5

Ended in the Blue Lagoon (or something like that).

Blue Martini?

That would be the one...but only early on...it gets pretty douchey later (according to my sources).

As long as its not the Blue Oyster

+1 but there is always the going back.....

Top of my bucket list after poker/eating/drinking/fountains is a helicopter trip to the canyon & after a chatting with Curlarge at the weekend seems the best day would be Friday morning when the body clock is all out of sync and your wide awake at 6am so is anyone on else up for this & can anyone advise on a good firm to go with price wise & if it"s cheaper booking online beforehand as I"m not taking my lappy?

cheers in advance - Shaz x

Sian and I drove to Eagles Point from Vegas in August and the last 15 to 20 miles, spent rallying up (and then down) a desert dirt road in a rental car was awesome.  It takes a day though, but you can fit in a lot of route 66 magic, hoover dam, etc.  However you get there Sharon, you"ll find the Grand Canyon amazing.

btw what does "douchey" mean??

Urban Dictionary:
   

One that emits striking qualities of a douchebag. Objectively speaking, most common description of complete assholes who maintain an extremely shallow personality.

Pertaining to something (i.e. a place, a group of people,) that contains an abnormal amount of douche bags.

Douchebag:

Someone who has surpassed the levels of jerk and asshole, however not yet reached f*cker or motherf*cker.

A person with a ****ty personality that needs to "take themself the f*ck down" or "go home and get their f*cking shine box." A douchebag usually assumes the form of a hair-gelling pretty-boy but can also be described as an overzealous, pompous, or vexatious a**hole that most people wish were killed with a Mortal Kombat fatality.

Thanks Des, I wish I had a day to do that - I have made a note for next time though;). The Hoover dam is on the to do list for another day. So if anyone else is interested in this (there were so many tours/variations top wade through - mindboggling stuff) I"ve booked the early morning tour on the Friday (18th) - I think a half a day tour will be enough first off (then I can fit in some poker/snooze/whatever before what I think will be an epic Friday night).

Did we get the karting sorted?

Is there enough interest?

[AAroddersAA]

Just noticed Fremont Street has been mentioned a few times but we don"t have a list of interest. I would suggest we have a few possible times:-

Sunday Afternoon/Evening (We will all be too drunk from Friday to last until day two in the APAT)
Tuesday Afternoon/Evening
Wednesday Afternoon (I am assuming there will be some sort of meal on Wednesday evening)

My choice would be the Sunday afternoon possibly include the evening (APAT should be done by about 9pm anyway)

Who would be up for a trip downtown and when would you like it to be?

That be worth a go maybe on the fri day before APAT ?

Wasn"t Sunday evening set aside for Tighty karaoke?

Although you could do early evening down at Fremont street, watch the light show and then head back to the Strip. That might work.

Hmmm...there were a couple of places I wanted to hit in Fremont Street East.

1. Insert Coins
2. The Griffin

and possibly..Hogs & Heifers
