In 3 weeks we will be headed to Vegas for a few days and I have never been!! Super excited. Will be there for the NFR and was looking for reccomendadtions on food and must see attractions
I am leaving the 11th of December, driving out there for the World Series of Team Roping Finale. If you like seafood, I suggest the Rio seafood buffet. It is pricey, but its all you can stuff in your face seafood. Downtown is cheaper on everything than the strip. What sort of stuff interests you? Last year i went and saw all of the car building shops that are on TV (Kounts Kustoms, Welderup, Rick's Restorations). If you like mexican food, go to Casa Don Juan.
If your into shopping and don’t want to spend as much as in the shops at the casinos. There are nice outlet malls at the south and north end of the strip. We’ve always loaded up on clothes for the whole family when we are there. Silverton casino has always been a bad place for me. Something about a bass pro shop attached to a casino causes me to lose money. Lots of great places to eat and if you get off the strip a bit the prices come down to normal.
Go check out the natural history museum. I know it sounds kind of weird for Vegas, but my cousins husband donated all the animal mounts in there before he died from Parkinson's. He collected many great trophies before he died. We went and checked them out last time we went. He was the AD at UNLV back when they were good at basketball
Hash house a go go for food ( the plates are giant ).. see Belagio Fountains , take pictures at the Las Vegas sign. Go downtown and check out Fremont street..the Gondola at the Venetian, Madame Tussaud’s wax musuem and the Absinthe Show at Caesar’s Palace to name a few.
We've just decided on the same trip for 7 days from the 26th-1st, New Years should be pretty cool.
If you are into shopping, and resale shops, hit up Buffalo Exchange. It's off the strip and is a neat shop, lots of new things that are unworn, still with tags. Lots of cool clothing/shoes/accessory stuff to look at with it being Vegas, both mens and womens too. We did hit the outlet on the south end of town and it was good, both our boys loaded up on Under Armour gear as it was cheaper than anywhere we have found, including the outlets in MS and FL.
One place that I have heard about many times is Lotus of Siam. It's a Chinese spot that has what some claim is the best Chinese/Hunan in the country, in a little shopping center. We are definitely trying it for sure this trip.
Rick's Restoration is neat, they are nice and will talk to you as well, very cool people. The Pawn shop, just go see it, it's a tiny showroom but the show makes it look huge. They sell lots of shirts though, lol. Kounts Kustoms was neat. I ran into Steve from Welderup at the DFW airport and he was very cool, going to check his place out as well. He was a very nice guy.
