Mar 13, 06 07:17 pm — Leaving Wednesday morning for Las Vegas, confrenece Thurs afternoon & Friday am. Got a full day and another evening to goof off with the wife. Haven't been there in about 4 years, anyone been there recently have any suggestions?
Is there any other reason to go to Vegas?
Someone told me once that I have a gambling problem, I responded with; "I'll bet ya $5 I don't."
Last time I lost $225 so I quit.
Oops, sorry, that was $2.25.
I would suggest this but I think you mentioned not liking coasters/thrill rides.
It's been almost four years since I've been to Vegas as well. Got married there! ::grin::
Have fun! (Sorry I don't have any ideas for you)
Betcha the last nine months have kinda tarnished that particular memory 
::grin::
OMG, you pulled a Britney Spears before she did!!! 
LOL
Actually, as far as Vegas weddings go, ours was atypical. We planned it that way since my family is in Idaho and his out here in Mass.
It ended up being a nice, albeit, quick ceremony with his dad and his dad's GF showing up on his side. For my side my mom, sisters, grandparents and an uncle and cousin came. One of my best friend's from here was also able to make it and her and my sister were bridesmaids. My sister also had her son, so I had him be the ring bearer. He was such a cutie, too exhausted to actually do the job though. ::grin::
For our reception we went back to our hotel room and had cake, champagne and other snacks. It was a great way to get married for us. Very inexpensive, excluding rings we spent about $1500 and that even included travel and a room with a jacuzzi tub.
We went to the 1st NASCAR race in vegas years ago. Before the race started a couple got married in the stands a few rows behind us.
Oh yeah! We saw them a few years ago, best show ever. Like many of the Vegas shows, get there early because the pre-show entertainment is also great.
The wife, eh? I guess hookers aren't an option. Probably hafta go with gambling then...
Have fun!
Its mostly looking but she will even point out the hotties if she thinks I missed one. Her reasoning, the day I stop looking is the day I'm dead.
Just 'cuz you're chained to the porch doesn't mean you can't bark when they drive by.
Arf!

Buffets!
Okay, really, if you want some non-casino fun you could try:
-Shark exhibit at Mandalay Bay
-Dolphins at Mirage
-The free water show at Bellagio is worth a look if passing by
-The best deal is the stand-up comedy show at the Tropicana (if you like stand-up comedy). You can sometimes find a two-for-one coupon in the local magazines. Regular price is like $21 per person, including two free drinks. If you get the twofer, one drink each. It's always lesser known comedians, but we go every time and have never seen a bad show.
-If the wife wants to shop, send her to the Fashion Show Mall (north strip), or the Aladdin (center/south strip). I suggest you yourself go....elsewhere. Unless you have a masochistic streak....
-Two things I have never tried: The gun range where you can fire sub-machine guns and the like; and the "skydiving" machine like they had at the Torino games where you can 'fly' indoors with that industrial fan-in-the-floor gizmo.
Just a few thoughts....
Thanks but I never have/will pay to see/hear a comedian, my life and friends are more humorous than any funnyman/woman I've ever heard of.
NO SHOPPING! Might as well piss it away on gambling.
Weapons would be fun but she'd put the kybosh on that as I would the shopping.
Free stuff is always great.
Renewing your wedding vows in one of the hundreds of little chapels.
You can even have Elvis perform the ceremony.
Renew our vows?? Hell, the first time around has cost me 28+ years already. I'll never get out alive.
You better pray she doesn't see this or you'll be home all alone while MrsDdub does Vegas with a girlfriend. ::grin::
I'm gettin' with the green for the holiday, yanno?
After March 17th I'll go back to being the Jewess Peeper Princess. 
In that case, I'll raise a toast to ya meself, faith and begorra
Saol fada chugat.
