Re: Vegas on New Years weekend?
As long as you don't have to be on the Strip or cross the Strip, you'll be fine. I would suggest though that if you're heading East of the Strip, you should hang out at a property located east of...

Re: Vegas on New Years weekend?
I've been to Vegas 100+ times and this will be my 8th New Year's in a row (since the Millenium) in Vegas. EVERYTHING will be crowded including the poker rooms. Sat and Sun will be like any other...

Re: cheap Vegas hotels
I stayed at the Tuscany Suites 2 years ago for a buddy's bachelor party. 7 guys in 1 room (suite) and it wasn't that bad. Things were clean, it was easy to get in and out of and there is a small...

Re: LA Touristy Stuff
Agree on The Getty Center (off of the 405, NOT the Getty Villa off of PCH). It's free admissions, all you pay is $5 for parking. Assuming you're in your 20's, here's a few more:
- Hollywood:...

Re: cheap Vegas hotels
Check out the Tuscany Suites a few blocks east of MGM Grand. For a 1-2 week stay, it probably beats Motel 6 and the like.

Re: Spotting fake hundos
I was a teller in my past life and in nearly 4 years, I'd spotted only 4 fake bills, with only 1 getting by. Here's my take:
- There are many more fake $20's, then $100's, so relax.

Re: Ballys, Harrah\'s, Caesar\'s, Las Vegas
Sounds like it will be a bunch of young single dudes in Vegas for a bachelor party and looking for a young/fun crowd.
With this in mind, you have to start at the Palms. Rooms are expensive (much...

Re: Ballys, Harrah\'s, Caesar\'s, Las Vegas
Out of the 3 you mention, Cesar's Palace is by far the nicest/classiest. That said, since it's a bachelor party, do you really want something that nice? On the other hand, it would be VERY...

Re: Driving from LA to Vegas
Leaving earlier would be worse, unless you can leave before 2pm. Just spend the $100 and buy the girl a 1-way plane ticket to Vegas and pick her up from there!

Re: Driving from LA to Vegas
All things equal, the 210 is much better than the 10. The 10's carpool lane only stretches for about 5 miles and doesn't really help. The 210's carpool goes from Pasadena to the 15 so that would...

There is the Rumjungle inside the Mandalay Bay, but it looks better than it really is and it's more of a bar than a 'club'. The Mandaly also has the Foundation Room which is private, but open to the...
