This is kinda a trip report... or what might develop into one!
We're going to Vegas to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday over the weekend before July 4th. Gonna actually head back to LA on the 3rd, I don't feel like sitting in crazy traffic on the 4th. I've got an idea what we want to do... but need to fill in some blanks. Let me know what you think of the plans, and any suggestions would be appreciated! We're going with a group of about 10-12... 3-4 couples and about 4 other guys. Most everybody in the group is between 21-28.
We're heading out Friday. We have the first 2 nights at the Hilton under the spa package, so 2 buffets, 2 spa entries, and a 25 minute massage. I booked Orleans for $50 on Sunday nite, never been there, want to get some points on a card, apparantly they're good with promo offers for cardholders.
Friday: Head out to Vegas around 9am or so. Check into the Hilton. See if we can't get some of those passport stamps and some food credits! Cruise around during the day. Meet up with the rest of the group at the Hilton buffet for dinner. Hit up Fremont Street for the remainder of the evening (some Vegas Virgins with us, gotta get them the full experience!)
Saturday: Do the spa thing, let the girlfriend get her massage. Cruise the strip, get some more passport stamps, some gambling, wander around aimlessly. Probably hit the pool... not much planned for the day.
Saturday nite: Meet the group at Hard Rock for dinner, girlfriend wants to go to Mr Lucky's... bought her a banana split there for her birthday once, she loved it, wants to continue the tradition! From there... a club? Not sure which, people aren't gonna want to spend TOO much $$... but I still want to do the Vegas-club-scene thing. Suggestions?
Sunday: Check out of Hilton, into Orleans. Wander around during the day, no real plans. Got 2 passes to their buffet, maybe do that for lunch or dinner, not sure... burn the 2 free bowling passes, dunno what else.
Monday: Lunch at Commanders Palace (already got reservations) for the 4-martini lunch, gonna try the 18.88 special... then head back to Los Angeles, maybe around 2 or 3.
So... any other must-sees? Using those dining credits isn't a HUGE deal, I'll be back in August, and they're good out to Oct 10th, so I can use em then... will be nice to grab some free food! Gonna try the $20 trick at Hilton, check in early as opposed to late before everything's booked up, gonna see if I can get a suite out of it... would be nice to have somewhere for our group (10-12 people) to congregate and "pre-party" before going out at nights.
I've heard good reviews for the Prince cover band (Purple Reign was it?), maybe hit them up before the club on Saturday nite? Where are they? What else is around there club-wise that we could go to afterward?
That's all I got... let me know what you guys think!!
