If you are casino virgins, most hotels hold lessons during the day on the basics. if you are even thinking of playing craps this is a must - you will be most unpopular if you rock up at a craps table without a clue in the evening.
- 'The English Accent Effect' on American women is much less effective there than elsewhere, but don't write it off. - You can just wander into any casino regardless of where you're staying (probably obvious, but I was a bit unsure if you could) - As long as you tip the waitress $1 order whatever drinks you want at the tables... you can be more generous if you want. I was a student at the time so stuck to $1 and no one got pissy. - Do one of the free 'craps' lessons they do at your casino, I'd never played it before and found that game the most fun. - Make sure you chill at the pool and stuff during the day if you're there 3/4 days+, plenty of time to gamble when the sun's not about - Go to a pool party! Book in advance. Can't remember the one I went to, but worth it. If there's a few of you, investing in a cabana is great. - Look up club nights you want to go to in advance, because you can pay a load to get in and it's dead because it's not big 'that night'
(And then there's the stuff your mum tells you... - gamble only what you're prepared to lose etc. - One of your mates will very likely get carried away gambling when they're hammered - they will thank you for intervening the next day)
Oh... and don't think it's like The Hangover, it's not, but it's great.

People should know how to go to the toilet without lessons surely...?
I was speaking to a Canadian whilst I was there and they had friends who went a few years before, went to this nice restaurant and were persuaded to get four specials from the menu (which that night were lobster), they got silver service, even a phone call from the Head Chef letting them know how long it would take for their meal to come out etc.
Of course not one of them thought about the fact they were in the middle of the desert and that to have lobster it would mean it would have to be shipped in from hundreds of miles away... They realised in the end when they got the bill.
The waiters tip along was four figures... True story!!
I didnt expect to like it but i did. Not into gambling - (i know what a stupid place to go) but went for a wedding.
Go to see Matt Goss in the Gossy Room at Caesars Palace who was brilliant Walk into and out of the most amazing hotels that blow your mind with their bonkersness. Its rubbish for vegetarians generally but in/out burger is supposed to be great Go to the Grand Canyon - by plane - take a sick bag but its worth it Dont go in August - toooo hot.
We stayed in the MGM Signature, great location.there isnt a casino in the hotel but linked to the MGM grand
been twice stayed at the wynn and mgm grand, really is something for everyone there, even walking around the hotels is unreal, would recommend going to fremont st downtown to see the light show its a bit ott but well worth the visit and v cheap drinks i think a round of 4 spirits and mixer was around 12 dollars, going next april for cousins 40th cant wait already.
My eldest Son got married there a few years ago and it was amazing. We all stayed at Caesars Palace and he actually got married in one of the 'wedding gardens' which was magical. The Bud light was good! Someone else also mentioned Matt Goss, he has his resident Gossy Room in Caesars and what a fantastic night we had, even though he supports Millwall he sure did put on a great show!
We done the Grand Canyon which was AMAZING, I can certainly recommend Maverick Tours they were started by a Vietnam veteran and have got the most amazing helicopters, they are quiet, have a large viewing cockpit. We landed in the Canyon had a bottle of Maverick Champagne and a mooch around and then off again. It wasn't cheap but we looked at it as a once in a lifetime trip..........definitely worth it. We did not get to do many hotels because they are SO BIG but just looking inside is amazing. I think there must also be quite a bit of late 'night life' as a lot of the younger people were getting back to the hotel around 5-6 in the morning!!!.........no good for me now, I need my 8 hours!!
Whatever you do or wherever you go in Vegas I am SURE you will love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You may all be in your mid-twenties, but it's highly likely you will get asked for ID almost anywhere! Take it with you. My missues and I were in our 30's when we went and still got asked for ID....drinking, gambling

Good point - and passport rather than driving licence.
Not that I have the need to prove my age now (not for a very long time)
Yeah that's a very good point. We went out one night, just us 'old fellas' to New York New York and we couldn't get into the piano bar because we didn't have ID! I don't think it is for your age as we ALL looked in our 50's! Someone said it was in case you get into any bother!? so they can find out where you are staying etc etc. I must admit I still didn't bother as I didn't want to lose my bloody passport!
Taking my son for his 21st in October. Staying in the New York New York Hotel. It sounds nuts. Doing a tour of Zion, monument Valley, Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam and 3 days in both Vegas and New York. Can't wait. Just me and him. Will be a blast.

Couple of my mates were literally stuck on the loo for couple of days after eating there - much to the amusement of the rest of us.
For four nights what is a good.price for flight and hotel? About £800ish for direct flights and four nights seems the norm in a 4/5 star hotel.
How much are pool parties and club entry fees on average?
Have fun on the stag and @cafcnick1992 get it booked.

It is very different to the strip
Get there early with a group of blokes otherwise no chance
