Vegas - June 12-15... advice for two thirtysomething couples

[regdunlop09]

Huge fan of this board... has been a big help planning our trip.

Looking for advice for what to do this coming weekend. About us - two thirtysomething couples... smoking hot wives (maybe a little bias, but they both turn heads... totally out kicked our coverage)... don't mind spending money to party, just not foolishly... bottle service probably isn't necessary because we don't need a table, but HATE standing in line... have to find at least one night for the ladies to hit the upstairs at the OG.

Here are the details: staying at Cosmo - have two Terrace rooms, hoping to have them connecting or will upgrade to a 1-bedroom suite with a connecting king. Plan is for Thursday night to chill and walk the strip... Friday morning skydiving (first timers!)... Friday afternoon BARE, followed by LOVE and 1OAK. Saturday is up in the air, but probably Boulevard Pool, dinner and a club. Sunday... sleep in and then back to the real world. If anyone could help with any of the following it would be much appreciated:

* Used the Groupon for the BARE/1OAK deal a few weeks ago. Has anyone used this? Is it worth it? Seemed like a good move at the time, but questioning it now.

* Best options for Saturday night? Would do Marquee because it is in our hotel - but, again, hate standing in line. What is the deal for hotel guests? Would we have trouble if we got there before 11 pm with two/two in our party? Any other clubs that are must-dos? Has been about four years since our last trip and it seems much has changed since then.

* Going to the OG at least once... should we call ahead for a limo, or take a cab? Would like the limo ride - just wanted to know if there are any surprise charges. Also, has anyone done the packages from their website, or just call to get a limo in advance?

* Must eats on the strip? Hear Wicked Spoon is a good buffet for breakfast/hangover relief. Anywhere near Mirage for Friday between LOVE and 1OAK?

* 1OAK a good spot?

Thanks for any help anyone could give... looking forward to the trip - just want to make sure we make the most of our limited time there.

What is the groupon offering for Bare and 1OAK? I have not seen it before so unsure about that, as for dinner between LOVE and 1OAK I would suggest Stack in the Mirage. It is not talked about too much on here, but I think it has a great vibe and good energy which is nice before going out.

Stack is a good bet for dinner at Mirage. If you want a mega club on Saturday go with Marquee. If you'd like something more intimate give Hyde a go at Bellagio. 1OAK has received good feedback from forum members. Whats the groupon? If you dont want to wait in line buy presales or setup a handshake with a host.

My bad, it is actually a Travelzoo.com deal:

* $49 per person - one admin to BARE and 1OAK
* Includes admission to both, VIP line, two drinks per person (must arrive at 1OAK by 11 pm for VIP access)

Seems like a pretty good deal so we bought one for everyone in our party (4).

Thanks for the heads up on Stack. Might give it a try. Any more advice would be great.

Nor a bad deal...basically the same as if u bought presales. If u have any time to kill b4 1oak swing by Revolution at Mirage.

I stayed at the Cosmo in the spring with a group of 6 guy friends. We got to Marquee on a Friday at 10:30 and walked in for free with our room keys (with a 5ish minute wait). There's a line for hotel guests, so arriving early shouldn't be a problem. Especially since you aren't 7 guys. That beat the ~$2000 we were quoted for a table.
