30th Birthday - April 22/24

[RegSid]

I am planning a trip to Vegas for my 30th birthday in April. We plan on getting in Friday and doing a nice dinner and then just going to a fun karaoke or piano bar. Saturday we are going to try to get a cabana at a pool and than depending on our state of mind after that, we're either going to bar hang, gamble or go to a club. I am not high maintenance, I don't need the newest/fanciest, but I also don't want to stay at the Flamingo. (no offense) Here are my questions and any advice would be so appreciated!!
- Nice hotel on the strip with good black jack tables. Budget of approx $300 a night
- I want to get a cabana for a pool party. Doesn't necessarily have to be WetRepublic wild, but want a fun crowd. What are the best pools/cabana set ups?
- Club with reasonable table reservation costs (doesn't have to be the hippest/most crowded club - just one my girlfriends and I can get dressed up for, have our own space and dance)

- Unique dining experience, not steak house exclusive. Something we can dress vegas fancy for and feel important even though we aren't.

Thanks for your help!

For hotels, I'd stick with Cosmo or Palazzo/Venetian. Wynn/Encore is really nice but more pricey. Depending on how many people, I always recommend the bella suites at Palazzo/Venetian.

For clubs, I think Drai's is your best bet. Tier 1 club feel without paying the tier 1 costs. It won't be cheap but I think it's good value.

I'll have to defer to someone else regarding dinner.

Have fun. I'll be doing the dirty 30 next year!

You may want to look at Wynn's bachelorette packages and inquire to see if they can do the same thing for a birthday bash? My wife did her bachelorette party there and had a blast while staying elsewhere. Hit the view packages on the left and then scroll down to see the cost to add on bottle service. XS with 1 bottle of vodka and a bottle of champagne with a table for 8 for $520 is not a bad deal. They did the dinner at Andrea's

Marquee does one also that may be able to do the same for a birthday. Scroll down to the bachelorette packages pricing.

Hope this helps.

I think I'll be coming this same weekend with a group of friends. I'll be doing a bunch of research on hotel prices, BS costs, etc so if you have any questions about any of that, I'm happy to forward you the info I find out.
