Alize is another one that we wanted to do but didn't have time to get to.
Definitely will have to remember that one.


Lots of different things to do in LV obviously.
And GF and I are just now beginning our stretch of traveling around and living 3-6 months in one place or another.
LV is on our list for a 3-6 month stay in the near future.

Should be nice just getting to some of these types of things at a more leisurely pace instead of trying to cram them all in as quickly as possible on a 4 day vacation or something.

I'll chime in with a dining recommendation - I took the significant other to LV about 1.5 years ago and we had a great dinner at Hugo's Cellar - this is off the strip in downtown LV in the Four Queens Hotel/Casino.

Being off the strip it is probably off most people's radar, but I found the food and atmosphere just as good as any of the restaurants on the strip, and if I remember correctly it was decently priced.

Here is a link to the trip advisor review's:

Some things I've done (or wanted to do) with my boyfriend or by myself in Vegas:

Renting a cabana at a pool.

Breakfast or brunch at Bouchon. Call ahead and get a verandah seat. I didn't make it, but Tableau at the Wynn is supposed to be just as good.

Try to get up to the Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay for sunset, or just have a drink at Mix on the 64th floor over looking the Strip.

Rent a car and drive to Red Rock for sunset. Bring a picnic or pick up some pasteries at the Bouchon bakery or the bakery in Paris.

I haven't been as pleased by it on my last few visits, but I usually split some sangria and tapas at Cafe Babareeba at Fashion Show Mall (it's on the promenade, you can watch people wandering about and see the Wynn) then go shopping, or vice versa.

Might be a bit tacky, but you could ask the hotel ahead of time to have flowers in the room or a welcome basket or something for you both.

One of the most romantic things I've ever done was to drop acid at the MGM, visit the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay then lay on a couch in in the Bellagio down by the conference rooms, talking. We wandered around for quite some time, and ended back at the hotel room.

I think that La Reve at the Wynn has a special champagne seating. You can get luxo seats at the show, plus a bottle of champagne (god knows what kind of swill they give you for free) and chocolate covered strawberries, I think.

Failing that, a threeway is always romantic. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

AZK,

Cirque shows are always great.

No shortage of great restaurants, check B&M Vegas thread and the one here for tons.

Ghostbar, Foundation Room, and other lounge type places are nice places to hang out with a girl.

The pool, of course.

A room with a jacuzzi tub.

The new club (Moon) at The Palms sounds pretty cool.

[/ QUOTE ]

We might check out the club, but neither of us are really into the club scene.

I'm looking at those 2 lounges, it looks like you have to purchase 'front line' passes to ghostbar, is this for when there is a line or just in general? Do you recommend doing this?

What about foundation room, it doesn't really say anything but refers to a 'membership'.

We'll probably hit up the pool during the day, already thought of the jacuzzi but unfortunately my rio room doesn't have one. If I run good this week maybe I'll spring for a better room.

Thought of taking her to the grand canyon on a helicopter ride that all the hsnl ballers have been doing... not sure if it's going to work though... thanks for the ideas.

1. Get your casino host to arrange a gondola ride in the Bellagio fountain.

2. Helicopter ride picnic - they fly you out to Grand Canyon where there is a table and lunch and champagne setup.

3. If you are on a budget, Imperial PAlace has cheap jacuzzi rooms

They do but this place isnt that great. It's not that nice of a arcade or anything. Skip it. The arcade at your local mall is prolly better than this piece of [censored].
