What's atop your "To-do" List for Your Next Trip?

Robbing a hooker to supplement my bankroll

 

Ha ha - been there, done that; elevator is in a little alcove in the west/Chelsea tower just to the left and behind a wall of buffalo - easy down the elevator, walk across what looks like an indoor funky unused parking area and on the right enter through a nondescript door into a small lobby and the little store is straight ahead on the right - but don't hold me to that as I'm directionally challenged. On the short walk back, we misdirected ourselves slightly, got back on track and then got off on the wrong floor of the elevator all while stone cold sober.... and finally back to those shiny slots!!

Our best find and now often used tip from our fellow VMB'ers is the shortcut between Cosmo and Aria - out the valet, exit the garage, turn right, short walk and cross street to the elevator by Vdara, up one level and out, cross the bridge to Aria. We actually did this in reverse one trip, rolling our luggage when we moved from Aria to Cosmo; once you enter the Cosmo valet area, it's a few steps to check in lobby.

Have fun with your to do list @Multifarious5 ! Is that pineapple drink actually a 'virgin' drink? If so, I'm in...

 

My to do list is more like a suggestion list... if I don't do it this trip I'll do it in a future trip....

1. High Roller - this will most likely happen on the upcoming trip. My son is having his bachelor party and I think I'll join them on this activity.
2. Visit and gamble in a new Casino/Resort. Still haven't stepped foot in Aria. I've got a checklist on my phone, I'll see if I can check another off.
3. Eat at The Palm again, had the best filet there back in 2000 on my 2nd Vegas trip. has it really been 17 years??? Where does the time go?!?! I did get to go to the original in NY a couple of years ago though....
4. Walk the strip. Pretty much do this every trip.
5. A few hours in the spa, I usually do this on day 2 in the late morning. Day 2 is when I do the most, I think it's because of the spa, a good massage is like taking an energy pill!
6. Pool time.... lot's of pool time!

 

My To-Do list is always part-bucket list, part-Fantasy, part-setting the bar high and part-leftovers from previous trips.

Discover the hottest machines that pays the max jackpot on the first spin.
Have a roulette session where every spin hits my regular numbers and I walk away with 100x my buy-in.
Have the perfect night's sleep every night of the trip.
Use Lyft instead of Uber this trip to see if there is any difference.
Experience what it's like to have a really hot girl hit on me who isn't a hooker (only to turn her down since I'm married, of course)
Actually make it to Cosmo this trip and have some success.
See either Sexxy, Fantasy or Crazy Girls.
Eat at Strip House again in hope that it is as great as my first time a few years ago.
Eat at Canters Deli at the Linq Promenade (hopefully, they'll be open by then)
See Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglasias live in Vegas. (actually have tickets for this)
Rack up some wins on machines where there would be no hand-pays and taxes wouldn't be an issue.
Relive one day, any day, as seen in the most recent @tdhoier Trip Report.

 

I always have pool and spa time to relax. At home I'm always on the go during mommy and household stuff, and don't get that much time to just sit and relax before moving to the next thing. I don't drink a lot at home but in Vegas it's a different story. Every trip I'll try a different drink, if I really like it, that will be the drink I get the most. Last trip was the raspberry lemon drops at Cosmo, so good!! Not sure what I'll try next trip but I'm looking forward to drinking and parking my butt at those slots!!

 

See LeReve.
Do a $100 slot pull and $100 on the hard 6.

 

LOL. aka the reverse Trick Roll, or John Roll

 

Staying @ Paris for the first time...

- Some pool time
- Trying some new restaurants. Hoping to find some to add to the regular rotation
- Top Golf
- Fremont Street evening - casino hopping & video show
- PH Shift Change
- Casino hop on the Strip (do this every time)
- $1 afternoon beers at Casino Royale
- Visit Stage Door

 

We have tickets to see this too!!! Can't wait!!!

 

Going in October for a hit-n-run trip and hoping to pull these off:

1. Finally see Mat Franco...loved him on AGT
2. Use MyVegas to try the pappardelle at Cucina
3. Try the truffle spinach at Strip House (with a side of Rib Eye!)

 

Find a cool place to see the partial eclipse.
Take in a show - maybe Clint Holmes.
Try at least three new restaurants.
Maybe get a massage.

 

Just thought of a couple more possibilities for my To-Do List:

Visit one of the new legal dispensaries
Shoot some machine guns

Should I change the order of these?

What's atop your "To-do" List for Your Next Trips? (<-- Fixed it for you. )

Restaurants to try:

• Sage
• Abriya Raku
• Bardot Brasserie
  
• Hey, top of the World Restaurant at the Stratosphere could be fun. Very Vegas. So could Oscar's Steakhouse, for that matter.
• If I'm lucky on slots, é by josé andrés, Guy Savoy, or Twist'll be hit faster than a card slapper working the Strip.

Experiences to try:

• The private pink Cadillac tour of Las Vegas with "Elvis" (so that's what happened when he left the building!)
  
• Helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon
• Happy hour on the High Roller (why not?)
• Indoor skydiving
• The Neon Museum

Always on the list:

• Discovering some new bar for new drinks and the chance to people watch. Must be one I've never tried before. Double points if I can try a new drink I've never tried before as well.
• Walking the Strip
• Bellagio Fountains.

 

Ya what she going to do..call the police and say he paid me for sex but left me in the middle of the desert naked?

 

Oh my gosh, I am SO pulling this up on my next trip, as I thought it was a different location. (My luck I'd take the elevators to some secret off limits room and get in trouble...)

I better remember this next trip, or I'll have to take another trip to rectify missing out. (Twist my arm)

On the Sacrificial Virgin, I don't think the drink is virgin, just the name...but I can bet they'd make you a Virgin version! (Should be less expensive, I'd ask!)

GREAT post as always Geo, and thanks for the great directions to the secret elevators...I know have a mission!

 

Going to try to hit the north strip this time for the first time in a couple years. I don't make it past V/P much anymore, but this time I have to go to my bank on the second day of the trip (which is on Sahara) so I'm going to start at Palace Station, then hit Artisan, Lucky Dragon (all places I haven't been) and WynnCore (haven't been in years) before working my way back center strip. The other 3 days - no real plan. I'll make my pilgrimage to Skyfall at Delano at some point as always.

 

Play "spot the hooker"!

 

This sounds SO fun! Gonna remember this if I DO get a handpay this trip! "Short notice OK" according to the website!

 

High Roller - Although we have free happy half an hour tickets for last few years, we never able to use them (had been too busy Gambling)
