hi mate, i went in october for a holiday and to go to sema show

get cheap/free drinks at a table: if you stay on a table for a while the girls come round and ask you if you want a drink. When they bring you a drink give them a fairly big tip and then they will keep coming back to you as they know you tip. Just give them smaller tips after the big one.

Go up the efile (sp) tower and watch the fountain display that you can see when your at the top. Its wickid!

I went to 3 clubs and hated 2 of them to the point where i paid $20 to get in then walked out 5 mins later, never have i been in clubs that stuck up in all my life. Unless your dripping in money they look at you and treat you like shit. However the club at the top of rio is awesome! really down to earth people and the view is out of this world.

Do the grand canyon helipcopter (do the landing one) it might seem expensive (shop about) but its well well worth doing. Its wickid!

Watch the dealers! i played roulette and put a stack of chips on green 0 and 0/00 green split. He cleared my split chips and only payed out my single 0 win. I questioned it and he payed up then he had the arse on with me for the rest of the game so i left the table. I had them clear my chips away previous to that when i won aswell but i left it too late to ask.

we saw stomp and they were really good but the shows would have changed by now.

Try prezels! they are wickid!

use the tram, the tram stops are at the back of some of the hotels which is a bit of a bitch to get to but it makes it easy to get around.

you get mexicans on st corners handing out porn cards for call girls. It didnt bother me and me and my mate collected as many as we could from them but it pissed the mrs off lol

watch out for share hold schemes they weill try and get you for the whole day to watch a presentation on something you dont care about in exchange for a dinner or show ticket

enjoy, its awesome!

with regards to rock bars there is hard rock hotel i think its behind MGM. Also there is a couple of malls, one is about 20mins drive out of the main area but its worth looking at for cheap trainers etc.

Was in the Wynn few weeks back

Loving that hotel. Tower suites rock!








Mr Mcrash... make sure you do the Grand canyon thingy in the helicopter! its cooool!

also hire a Vette or a Mustang and take a ride out to the hoover dam... awesome.

heres a pic from Chopper!




landing in the Canyon is weird!



you get great views of Vegas as well obviously flying over it...






My top tip for Vegas is just make sure you get OUT OF THE HOTEL as much as possible!!!!!

Its very easy to just get sucked in and never leave the Hotel! and then all the days just roll into one!!!

Get out and see the place!!!

Oh and you NEEEEED to go to Gunstore!!!!!

you will love it!

You neeeed to go nuts with a fully automatic machine gun...

there are 3 Gunstores in Vegas. The biggest is like a 10 minute ride in cab. but its WELL worth the trip. They have bigger and nuttier guns

As I've said before defo do The Gun Store and The Blue Man Group. Personally I'd avoid Freemont Street, it was good to see etc but at the same time I was quite on edge, felt like I was going to get mugged lol. If you're passing the Bellagio hang about for the fountain show. The Las Vegas sign was quite cool to see but take a cab to it.
