Before Vegas

[VEGAS88]

Hey guys i was wondering if you could help me out. We need to know which city in USA we can visit before we come out to Vegas? We will only be spending 4 nights in this city and want it to be pretty close to vegas so flight time is not to bad and we can get to vegas pretty quick.

We were thinking LA but many have said we will not enjoy it and it's not as good as it seems. We then thought about NY but it's to long a flight and i don't think 4 days will be long enough there. San Diego has got some good reviews and is recommended by a lot of people.

Where do you guys think we should go...keep in mind its 3 guys looking to party and have an awesome time at clubs??

Thanks

Being from San Diego I have to say come out to San Diego the flight from San Diego to Vegas is about an hour tops! When are you looking at going? The best places to hit are Gaslamp and PB but it'll depend on what type of atmosphere your looking for. Gaslamp is where most clubs are located and PB is where the younger crazier crowd parties at cause it's mainly bars and pubs.

For the first leg of the trip will be arriving July 28th and leaving August 1st. An hour is very good, i thought it would have been longer.

Yeah we are looking for a bit of a mix, a night going crazy and some nights more chilled. We want to be able to make it to Vegas lol so while we will be going hard we need to conserve some energy.

My friend said he stayed at the Hard Rock in San Diego and had a good time.

The clubs in Hollywood are pretty much at the top of the curve.

The hottest crowds, you're literally fighting off Jamie Foxx and other celeb homos for girls. It's a dogfight, but totally awesome.

That being said, summers in LA suck. It's easily gonna be 90+ here in July. San Diego will probs be in the 70s...I'd probably pick San Diego...it is a college town after all.

Well if you go to SD you also can go to Tijuana for the day, give your drinking a more international flair, many pros and cons to this so listen to any advice-Never been personally but had friends go while in SD and mixed reviews from "MUST GO" to "Never again"


If you golf you may want to look in Phoenix/Scottsdale...also close to Vegas and a decent town for visiting for a few days.

Thanks Guys.

We agreed wherever we go we will most likely have a good time because we are on holidays on the other side of the world partying.

Although i don't really rate my chances getting a girl when my competition is Jamie Foxx haha and we are going for a bit of fun after all. In saying that though it would be good to bump in to the celebs there....Its a tricky one.

Is it hard to get in to clubs in LA do you have to do bottle service like vegas clubs if its a group of 3 guys?

I've so far only heard good news about SD. We will be booking in a few weeks time so hopefully we can find more info on SD before making a decision.

I love San Diego, but I def like LA much better for party scene.. and if I was three guys, I think I'd prefer LA..

have you considered scottsdale in AZ? it's close and you can drive to Las Vegas while taking in some sights.
I actually haven't been to Scottsdale myself, but my guy friend went there for a bachelor party and said it was a good party place.

No haven't considered that. It was either NY, LA or SD. NY is to far away though But anything close is an option i guess. End of the day we want to party hard. So LA may be the go, still getting mixed reviews about it though, its very confusing lol.

We just don't want to make a decision that we regret in the end, because being from Australia it's not like we can just pick up and go on the weekend lol

[Charles~]

Why not just fly into one town and drive to the other so you can see both?

LA clubs aren't that difficult to get into. I know some promoters that I can hook you guys up with also.

I've never done any partying in LA yet so can't comment on that but what I like about Diego is you can get that crazy college style partying in PB where drinks are cheap and everyone is there to just fuckig party! They have a long block(s) with all kinds of bars and it's a good spot to do a pub crawl. Oh yeah and there's the beach right there! Lol downtown Diego probly won't compare to the better clubs in LA but your going to Vegas anyways so don't really see a point in hitting top clubs at both.
At the time of the year your going it'll be perfect beach weather but since your from Australia maybe that's not a big deal since you guys have some awesome beaches. We've also got Seaworld that you could hit up lol if you wanna do the tourist thing.
If you end up coming down here hit me up!

That will do me. SD it is Thats what kind of time we are looking for. As you said we don't want to go to hard when we stll got vegas to come. Weather in Australia sucks man, its been raining all summer...beaches are good but never get to go to them.

Thanks for the tips and once a decision is made (looking like SD now) i will hit you guys up and we can take it from there.

I didn't realize you were coming all the way from Australia! in that case, I think you should think more about New York. it's probably a five hour trip from JFK to las vegas. But probably take you close to 24 hours to go from australia to JFK.. I'm guessing Australia to vegas area is shorter flight time.. I think going to NYC is worth the extra flight time..

SD is definitely beautiful, but i think you are used to seeing that kind of beauty in Australia.

If you haven't been to NYC yet, the city has an energy/vibe that is hard to feel anywhere else. I strongly suggest you think about NY some more.. You are gonna do tons of partying in Las Vegas anyways.

NYC to Vegas is between 4-5 hours.

Well the thing is in Australia, you can't fly straight to Vegas. Its a 14hr flight from Sydney to LA then you have to change over and get on another flight to Vegas. The plan was just to go straight to Vegas for a week, but seeing we would have to stop in LA we thought we might as well stay a few days there to and warm up before hitting vegas lol

Flight from Sydney to NY is 20 hours.

If flying from Ausy stay on the west side of the US...I vote for SD. Beautiful area and easier to get around then LA. Check out Corando Island while there. Tijuana is a ball for a day trip, just be cautious. Plus ya got Cisco to give you all the inside tips for the area.
