7 Iconic Experiences LV poker players should experience at least once.

[MicroBob]

I would be interested in some of those categories as well.


not really interested in either the hookers nor the blow.

Fatburger is number 1 because there are no Fatburgers in my area - I only get it in LV (and now Borgata - yea), same with OPH.

Not being into hookers and blow (my loss) - LV is about my two favorite things besides Gators football - poker and eating...

While I have some doubts as to how Fatburger could be #1 (mostly since In N Out is sooo much better)

O,

The Hard Rock Casino may just be the greatest place in the world.

1. Tip a Maitre D' for Good Seats

With assigned, high-priced seats the norm now, this may be tough, but not impossible. At least a couple shows still had seating by the maitre d' when I saw them, including Mac King (worth seeing) and La Femme at MGM. Just fold up a bill, hand it off discreetly, and enjoy your seats up front.


2. See a Jiggle Show

Yeah, I love lap dances too. But do it once at least to say you did. La Femme at MGM is very good, and easy to convince women to go to because it has that air of Parisienne sophistication to it. Plus, you can knock #1 out at the same time.


3. Eat at Hugo's at the Four Queens

I think The Ranch at Binion's may count also, here, but I am going with Hugo's Cellar. When you eat here, you will be rushed back into a dining time warp to the 70s, when waiters prepared baked alaska table side, and someliers wore spoons around their neck.


4. Schedule an Early Morning Massage for a Night You Plan to Be Out Late

Getting a massage is pampering anyway. Do it for the night that you plan on crawling back to the hotel anyway at the crack of dawn, and you'll be re-creating the acts of the Rat Pack while they filmed the original Ocean's 11.



5. Gamble, -EV Style

Don't spend all your time in the poker room. Take a shot at the tables. If you have not experienced a craps table when it gets hot...well, you may gain an appreciation for why people play -EV games.


6. Order Champagne

Do it bottle service at a club, or in your prime seats at a show, at the Peppermill Fireside Lounge, or by room service with someone who is going to be special for the next hour or so. Find a context and do it.


7. Lounge at the Pool and Bet on Ridiculous Things

If you're walking the Strip in the middle of the day, you're doing it wrong. It's too damn hot, and too full of fanny pack tourists with their kids. You did not come here to gawk at the gamblers, you are one. So have cocktails at the pool, enjoy the fauna, and make prop bets on coin tosses, how well guys will do trying to pick up various girls, which directions waitresses will turn, and anything else.

That hardly stops it from being the best list I have seen of things to do on a vacation.
