PF Changs. Although a little americanized it's still good and not overly expensive.Comment -
lol to the suggestion of PF Changs to someone looking for real Chinese food.Originally posted by Dark HorseComment -
I said it was americanized. You arent going to get great Chinese in Vegas. Great Japanese, but not Chinese.

Support the Binion's Steakhouse. It's great. Decor looks a bit stuffy but they'll let you in with flip-flops, shorts and t-shirt without making you feel inadequate. I guess they're used to the hotel's clientele.

hey Matt...I was actually reading your older thread.... so did you end up going to vegas yourself??? I am planning to go by myself.....
Padre, where is good japanese place??? I hope they have take out too since I don't want to go to fancy place all by myself...Comment -
also, how much is a pack of cigarette cost in vegas?Comment -
what do you smoke? I can assure you that you wont be spending more than 7 bucks a pack.

probably a little over 6 bucks a pack. Parliaments are my cigarettes of choice as well, and I pay about 6 bucks a pack in San diego. Shouldn't be that big of a difference in Vegas. Just be sure to buy them at a gas station or liquor store rather than inside your hotel

I did. Was fun to do the sports betting thing the "old school" way, although I did feel quite a bit dorky while staying on the Strip - you're (somewhat obviously) surrounded by honeymooning couples, bachelor parties, piss-drunk socialites, etc. Downtown is much better if you wanna focus more on betting.Originally posted by CollegeProComment -
Sorry to butt in. Do they still have $20 rooms and stuff? I heard they have insane promotions right now due to the 'economy'

I was checking earlier today and Golden Nugget has $39 rooms. I'm sure that many other downtown properties have even cheaper deals.Comment -
I checked hilton for hell of it... and their price was close to $200 I think.... that's per nightComment -
Vegas Club Hotel on Fremont - Expedia is quoting me 33 canadian tomatoes a night on the weekend and 14 (!!!) during the week. I'm sure it's a lovely place.

hey Matt, when you went to Vegas, how did you dress up??? I am reading some reviews online and it seems like that some casinos like Cesars, you will have to fully dress up to enter..... is this true?? since I am going there all by myself, I was going to take only comfortable clothes like puma pants and hoody.... and mayb one khaki pants along with dress shirt just in case...Comment -
I was in a t-shirt and shorts the whole time, even at Bellagio, but I ate at buffets & snack bars except for that one meal at the Binion's steakhouse. I think any stricter dress code applies to proper restaurants and clubs, but you'd be wise to ask that question to other people who've gone to Vegas more than once.
Comment -
lolz..... wow you actually went to strakhouse all by yourself??? brave man..lolzComment -
Vegas Club isn't that bad actually, Matty.Comment -
Even $17-a-night Binion's wasn't that bad. Lots of burly 50-something biker types and latino families with 8 kids, but nothing that made me feel unsafe.Originally posted by GELATINOUS CUBE
That one trip to the nearest Laundromat was something else though. Oh shit. Don't go North of downtown, not even one block past the govt. buildings.Comment -
CollegePro,
If you don't want Americanized chinese food, perhaps a trip to China will change your mind.
Then you'll see how bad REAL chinese food really is.Comment -
LOL. Did you go down by Jerry's Nugget, Matty?Comment -
Yeah, some of the areas near the Greyhound station were kinda dark and desolate. Fortunately I am large and fast (because running like hell is always a excellent option).blog '09-'10: 37-16: +$31,900

Yah! Had zero expectation - huge surprise to see the waiters wearing tuxedo vests and bowties. Chit-chatted a lot with my waiter and a couple other ones who weren't busy (was 6pm on a Sunday) and they treated my underdressed ass like royalty.Originally posted by CollegePro
I kinda liked that place.

Cool! I'm trying to come up with an excuse to go solo for one or two days next week (like, for a decent NHL futures bet on the Phoenix CoyotesOriginally posted by MonkeyF0cker), will keep that place in mind.
Nah. I guess I shouldn't either, uh?Originally posted by MonkeyF0ckerComment -
have you even tried real chinese food?? you might want to go to Chinatown and visit good restaurant(not the dirty ones). come back and tell me how you liked it. I will give you some recommendation for dishes you should try. Clams with black bean sauce, soy sauce chicken, roasted duck, spicy pork chop, etc.....Originally posted by andywend

I have two options... one, take 1stop airplane and sleep at decent place like Luxor and palms. This is cost me around $580-$650ish... I do not mind about 1 stop airplane ride but for return flight, it HAS to be overnight flight which I do not like. my 2nd option is to buy airplane ticket and hotel separately. I can get a ticket at the southwest airline for around $500 and this is non stop flight. If I go this route, I will sleep at Hooters or equivalent hotel to save me some money and total will come out around $600ish..... which one do you guys recommend?Comment -
I have never felt unsafe anywhere in vegas and I've travelled by myself a lot there. Mind you once you get past the greyhound station downtown or the El Cortez on Freemont and start walking you better keep your wits up as you'll see some of the non tourist sites. But if your smart you won't run into any problems. Besides how much safer can you feel than seeing a bail bonds place every 3rd building.Comment -
Where are you flying from southwest should be a lot cheaper than $500 round trip. I've never paid more than 300 ish round trip from either buffalo or pittsburgh.Comment -
flying from hartford, ctComment -
CollegePro,
Chinatown is a 5 minute cab ride from the strip...
It's down Spring Mountain Rd.Comment
