Las Vegas

by tomhoward - last update: Jul 22, 2006

Wierdest place on earth. A collection of monstrous comedy hotels sat in the middle of a desert shanty town. Nowhere else will you find such a wide cross section of people in such a small area. Ultra wealthy billionaires on their way to the high roller tables brush past minimum wagers feeding their weekly pay into 25cent fruities. Anyone in the UK who says Blackpool is, or is going to be "The Las Vegas of The North" clearly has never been here.

Info galore both on this forum and the excellent Las Vegas Talk. Tips on tipping at Access Vegas at the very least should make your stay smoother, if not open some interesting doors, and the science behind gambling in this NY Times article.

If you're a first-timer, check out this map on Frommers before booking any hotel - it could save you a fortune in taxis.

 Seems we share similar music tastes and have equally high expectations for such a "club" town like Vegas. I've been twice and FYI - Body English was probably the worst attempt at hiphop/ mash ups I've ever heard. ICE by far, best club ever!

 Great comments Tom. It must have taken you as long to write the review as it did to get that table at Circus Circus

 Your tips are hilarious. quite sarcastic. the funny thing about vegas is we got in almost everywhere for free and no line. i thought it was the best spot for nightlife.
