There are lots of opportunities for massages. There are lots of Mexican chaps on the street handing out cards that can point you in the right direction. LMAO! Do the sport car thing. Where else can you drive a Lamborgini or Ferrari at speed for a few hundred bucks. Lol. Its your birthday!

be careful of the "timeshare" people. They will stop you, and ask where you are from, what show you going to see and then get you in for a deal on the tickets and dinner.

seen zumanity.....it was different. we were suppose to see Blue Man Group, but seen "mystere" instead (cirque du soleil) that was a good show. But like someone else said.. just go with the flow and be prepared to do a lot of walking and getting "cards".

We got nailed by them in Hawaii, we actually made off like bandits though, 3 years free vacations including the on we will be taking to vegas next month. They can put the pressure on you alright thats for sure.

Great tips folks, we are taking the no plan route too when we go

Don't need any of the Mexican message cards, think I will try a certified salon. Thanks anyways. I've always wanted a Lamborghini but them dam lotto numbers never show up for me. So I may have to go and try it out. Will have to wear my new go pro camera I got for Christmas if I do. All in all it will be a fun time.

Vegas is a blast, just got back from there Friday. If you are going to a show I would recommend seeing Mystere as well, great show! Best place to get show tickets is the discount ticket places, there is one right by the M and M store on the strip. We paid nearly half price for our show tickets. If you are go to Mystere try to sit in the centre of the stage, we sat on the side and sat half turned for most of the show to see what was happening at the back of the stage. The lightshow on Freemont street is worth checking out as well, think it runs every hour on the hour. The fountains at the Bellagio are impressive as well.

Join the M club at MGM. If you don't gamble a lot you won't get a lot of "comps" at the end of your trip, however, you get discounted show tickets (some 50 percent off) and discounted meals at 6 or 7 different casinos operated by MGM. O at the Bellagio is a really good production and after you can watch the fountain light show. The aquarium at Mandalay Bay is a cool couple of hours and the Mirage still has Seigfried and Roys Secret Garden with a dolphin show that is entertaining. The best new casino to people watch is Cosmopolitan, the high limit craps tables make me sick to my stomach when I see someone lose 10 K on one roll, but it is entertaining. I did the Richard Petty Experience in October and it was a blast. Either piano bar (one at Harrahs one in New York New York) are great evening fun but get there early as they are usually packed by 6 pm. The spas at any of the casinos are excellent choices for a massage or Mani/Pedi for the Mrs. I get a hot towel shave once in a while so I don't feel left out. Ferrarri Dealership at Wynn is OK but paying 20 bucks to walk through a showroom seems wrong to me. Always take a trip to Slots of Fun and Circus Circus just so you appreciate where you are staying!Have a great trip!

If at all interested in cool guns, you have to check out the Gun Store at Las Vegas. Its easy to spend a couple hundred bucks quick but they're full auto machine guns!

Thanks Bogger. I think that is going to be on the top of the list. Neither of us have seen the canyon or been on a helicopter. This is one thing I would really like to do. No sure about the wife as she don't like to fly, but it will be awesome.

the canyon in the helicopter is a must, wife and i did that on our honeymoon had a blast. Our pilot was a vietnam vet where he learned to fly helicopters as a 18 year old great guy and made the trip even better.

Vegas...friggin love that place, good thing the mother in law has a house there now. Zumanity is awesome but as others mentioned its very erotic but amazing at the same time. Have also seen Holly Madison Peep Show no where near as good. We rented a cobra convertable Mustang to hit the damn and lake, i thought it was really cool as i never saw it before. The one thing i want to do this time around is shoot some AK's....heard thats pretty cool. Would love to post a bunch of pics but most arent suitable for the site.

Take a helicopter tour to the grand canyon through sundance helicopters. It will cost like $2000 but its worth every penny.

The next time I go Vegas, I want to go to "Hoover Dam" I hear its pretty interesting......... was better before "911" as you were allowed into the dam....but still would be interesting to see !!

And go see "Rick's Resoration" from TV !!! Heard he is a really nice guy !!!
Make sure you go to the hoover dam its awesome and it hasn't changed a bit. You can still drive across it and go inside the dam, and its only $20 to fly over it in a helicopter.
