Coming in November for a 21st bday - Couple questions

[Alics]

Your going to have a great time, if you create and follow a happy mindset.
As for the host nonsense, we are the ones who are getting catered to not the other way around, I agree remain generous, tip well- but under no circumstance feel like you owe these people anything, ask as many questions as you like, ask to see every possible seating sequence: ask questions all day. They are the ones that are supposed to apply a "service" to you the customer. My Las Vegas nightlife host opinion, is for another thread. But have a great time buddy: and ask questions, whether it be from other locals or people on the forum!

Put it this way, fun can be had anywhere and doing anything in Vegas. You don't have to go clubbing every single night you are there. This is what I would, I would get the room at the PH, go to the clubs only 2nights, 1 night I would check out the free shows at the TI, the fountains, go to Freemont street. There is plenty to do there at night.

I gotta give you props for being on a budget....last time I tried doing that (budget was $1k) I nearly quadrupuled it and that was for 2nt 3day trip.....LOL....but it was Vegas and I had a blast.

I LOL'ed hard at this point. I know the feeling.

I tried this incredibly lame but semi effective budgeting tool my last vegas trip (Friday-Tuesday). I put 400 dollars in an envelope for Friday to Sunday of my trip. Had a float of 500 cash in my wallet. This lasted me until the last day Monday when my friends and I lost everything on high paying slot machines and dirty blackjack.

I'd try it again. If you aren't gambling much splitting bottles with a group of 6 to 8 and eat cheap a 200-300 dollar budget a day for spending is manageable. Takes disciple though....

I thought I was on "Final Destination something" when I got on one of the elevators at Luxor. Wouldn't stay there


Has anyone suggested calling hotels directly and asking for a 10/15 % discount via CAA or AAA and getting the resort fees waived. They'll do this is you acknowledge you won't be using the hotel much. Dollar saved on hotel/flight is a dollar earned for more measurable areas of fun in Vegas!
