We Don’t Leave Until Tomorrow – Any Fun Advice For Our Time In Vegas?

August 22, 2012 by 18 Comments

Do you prefer the lime green or the plum?

This is our new luggage for our trip to Las Vegas. Steve says he won’t have to search for our luggage when the plane lands, it will be outstanding.

This is our first trip to Las Vegas. We are excited and looking forward to an interesting and fun time. Steve will be playing poker at the Bellagio. We will be touring the Red Rock Conservation Area. Our realtor, Debbie Drummond, will be giving us a tour of the city. We have dinner planned with friends. Breakfast with another friend. We do get a thrill meeting Twitter friends in real life.

It has been suggested we take in the laser light show in downtown Vegas which I am told is now known as Old Vegas. We need to tour Binion’s and the Golden Nugget. We need to go to the Venetian to see the second floor performances. Enjoy the show at Treasure Island. Checkout the Volcano at the Mirage. Admire the fountain at the Bellagio and enjoy the flower conservatory on the second floor.

The N9ne Steakhouse at the Palms has been recommended for the best steak in town.
“Primetime dining with Chef Barry Dakake. One of Las Vegas’ most popular rendezvous, N9ne is known as a Premier Steakhouse and Celebrity Hot Spot. The sizzling atmosphere matches a diverse menu including prime aged steak, fresh seafood, and imported spirits complete with an exclusive champagne & caviar bar.”

CHINA POBLANO at the Cosmopolitan sounds interesting. “An entirely new concept from the innovative Chef José Andrés created for Las Vegas, showcasing his personal take on Chinese and Mexican cuisines. Noodles and tacos come together in a festive, stylish setting”

I am told the Sage at the Aria is exceptional. “Sage serves contemporary American cuisine spiced with global influences in a sophisticated, yet comfortable atmosphere. Critically-acclaimed Chef Shawn McClain combines farm-to-table produce, artisanal meats and sustainable seafood with an emphasis on simple, clean flavors and seasonal ingredients. Mirroring the chef’s commitment to seasonality, cutting-edge mixologists infuse the fresh fruit purees, boutique liquors and home-made bitters into daily cocktail offerings.”

Do you have any suggestions of places you think we should see?

    Have a great time, Diane! Brightly colored luggage is definitely the way to go!

    • dianebrogan

      No kidding Kim, we literally wore the wheels off our old bags. It was time to get some new ones. These have four wheels – wheeee!

  • CaraPosey

    Yes, make time to go to the Wynn Buffet at least once. It is the best buffet on the strip.

    • dianebrogan

      Thank you Cara. The Wynn looks so beautiful. There are so many must see places. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Go to the pinball museum. :-)

    • dianebrogan

      Wow! Thanks for the fabulous suggestion Mary. Great idea!

  • Mike

    Definitely need to eat breakfast at the Bellagio Buffet.

    • dianebrogan

      Great idea Mike. We will check it out.

    The Fountains at the Bellagio is a definite. I can spend a couple hours watching those. A walking tour of all the casinos is a good time as well. There aren’t any “Bad” sightseeing spots. The Mandalay Bay is beautiful and the Shark Reef is interesting. Don’t forget the Eiffel tower replica at Paris as well. Enjoy and have fun!

    Enjoy the Public House and/or Bouchon for lunch or dinner :)

    • dianebrogan

      Thanks, we will check it out :)

    If you do go downtown, grab dinner at Hugo’s Cellar at The 4 Queens. I worked there in the mid-80′s. One of Vegas’s best. And, have a blast! Joel

    • dianebrogan

      Thanks for the suggestion, Joel. Someone suggested the 4 Queens, but I couldn’t make out my notes. All I could read was the 4 part. I am so glad you gave me the reference in writing.

        You’re welcome. Get a reservation before you leave-if you have time :)

    I think they should finally get married.

    • dianebrogan

      I hear there are lots of wedding chapels.

    There’s a terrific mall across the street from the Wynn. It’s a definite for retail therapy. Consider a Gondola ride at the Venetian…If you like Elvis, go to Aria and see the Cirque du Soleil tribute to his life and music. The “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign is near the Mandalay Bay…get your cab to wait while you get a picture. There’s a lookout that you can go to that makes the strip look tiny. It’s past the Wynn away from the strip. Helps keep all the craziness of the strip in perspective. The botanical gardens at the Bellagio are magical, so is their spa. Most of all…have fun!

      I am looking forward to the Gondola ride. Thanks for the suggestion Corinne.
