Vegas Vengeance - The Group Activity Bucket List

[SirPercival]

Our (MrsSirP and I) current eating list is as follows:

Outback Steakhouse

Don"t bother....if you"ve eaten in one over here...it"s no different. Sort of a TGI Friday"s.

Had one in Florida last month and enjoyed it. But it is probs the one I will drop.

[Paulie_D]

With my previous group trips we usually have a slap-up steak dinner without sparing the expense....you know the sort of place where you pay through the nose for a steak and pay extra for veg.

I believe Harrah"s has a fairly decent establishment (The Range) with a good picture window view of the Strip.

If that appeals I can make reservations for Wednesday night when we get there.

Paulie is the travel guru, nominated scribe, and Vegas Veteran, so I have complete faith in whatever choice he makes.

Have you been drinking again!?....Sorry...silly question.

It"s not to everyone"s taste...paying £30 for a piece of meat and £5 for a spud just rubs some people the wrong way.

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

Only just spotted this - I played Rhodes Ranch in March 2009 and was not disappointed

Now that I have booked, I have started looking at the suggested activities from the list:

Some Questions:

When is the batchelor party?
When is the wee man"s 21st?
Where is the wedding?

Things I"d like to do:

Harrah"s Duelling Pianos - (most are staying there so a big group night to kick things off sounds good..... and plays to the title of the other thread)
The Pub at Monte Carlo* - was it 200 different beers, count me in!
Range Steakhouse - I am up for this

Poker

Imperial Palace Mixed Game - this sounds fantasic, subject to any APAT Tourney and timings thereof (although I am usually free by 7pm Sunday to be fair) Paulie - What time does this run till?
Intend to make the trip to Binnions as I didn"t make it last time
Ditto the Ventian based on everyone else"s comments. I know I went to the venetian on my only other visit but I don"t recall finding the poker room, although I knew nothing about Vegas and wasn"t really a poker player back then**
Will play some $1/$2 at MGM as I really enjoyed this last time, mostly tourists, good fun and quite soft

*I will be placing myself in front of a TV showing saints" Heineken Cup game at 11am on Friday (they are 9 hours behind right?) so may well combine this with the Monte Carlo visit
**>>>Braced for the comments

Poker

Imperial Palace Mixed Game - this sounds fantasic, subject to any APAT Tourney and timings thereof (although I am usually free by 7pm Sunday to be fair) Paulie - What time does this run till?

Several hours...often it will go all night...I"ve played it for 11 hours. Depends how many people want to play and for how long. Each 10 game rotation is about 3 hours.

Nearer the date I"ll be drumming up support on All Vegas Poker and Tweeting some locals. After a while though you"re just passing the money around and it just breaks up naturally.

Will definitely be dropping by for some of this....how long I get to play though depends on Joobs!

Tell her that JP & Paulie will make sure you leave the casino by 10.30am

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.

Awesome, get a soup with your sarnie and dunk away. Then, depending on how big an eater you are, save half the sandwich for laterz
