Fremont street, its the old Vegas strip. Has the largest tv screen in the world, and a lot of other neat stuff. Gamble at casinos off the strip 3+ miles away for better odds,and send me an in-n-out burger!

I live in Las Vegas (although I work overseas). More often than not, the Craps tables downtown are much more user-friendly than those at the larger (read Strip) casinos. I always seem to have really good luck at Main Street Station.
Definitely put aside some money for a visit to Casa Fuente.
DO NOT pay the retail++++ for any smokes at the Bahama Mama's kiosk at the airport!!!
If you play golf, take your clubs!

Thanks for all the tips. I will be sure to check that out on my down time. Saddly i will be in meetings during the day so no golf for me.

TAKE YOUR CLUBS ANYWAYS! callaway has a lighted executive course not far from the strip!

Casa Fuente for Cigars, just to check it out

I actually also like to go to the Palazzo, grab a cigar from their Davidoff stand and sit in the Round bar right in the casino. Much better eye candy walking around in there than case fuente and better seating since they have couches.

Show at they Wynn called Le Reve, its fantastic!

Steakhouses: Wynn(forget the name), but its very nice!! Carnevino, BOA Steakhouse, CUT, all good. You can't go wrong with many places there as they are all top notch!

If you are not into any of the above, then just go to the Bunny Ranch.

Best food in Vegas IMO is at Keller's Bouchon, for the price at least. Service is top notch, and the food is just phenomenal.
If you want to go Michelin star, 500$ per cover, prix fixe, then Joel Robuchon has two restaurants in the MGM Grand... Joel Robuchon (one of only 10 or 11 US restaurants to get 3 stars), and L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon (less formal, less pricey, still amazing).
Off the strip, The Barrymore is a cool, old-school place (Oysters Rockefeller, Steak Tartare, etc.), and their wine list is great.


Casa Fuente is a must, regardless of whether you smoke the occasional Fuente cigar, or you are a full blown obsessee like me. Be sure to spend a few hours there drinking the Casa Mojitos, and smoking the Casa Fuente house blend. If you like Fuente, the alcove to the side of the humidor has some crazy stuff (Forbiddens, BBMFs, Black Orchids, Siglo 13s, etc), but they are very pricey. The waitresses are... nice to look at...

Plus it's always nice to have a hottie cut your cigar for you.

Never had a fuente cigar, im still pretty new to cigar mostly buy samplers and im still smoking the ones fire truck guy sent me in the fall. So i guss i will have my first! I looked up some of those restaurants and nowi cant decide. I think this thread is going to do me more harm then good...esp to my bank account. Owell the trip is over my bday maybe my girl will give me cash= )>. Or i can invest my tax return at the black jack table. Overall i think i will have a fun first time there. Now if i could just skip this conference lol. To bad i have to present on it when i get back.
