Gurges-Ahter Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 I just found out today that my work is sending me to Vegas in late September for some specialized training - I'll be there for 4 nights. I've been to Vegas once before, but it was for a bachelor party and I don't remember much from the trip. Does anyone have tips/advice on what I can't miss while I'm there? I should remember more this time around since I have to work; I'm not allowed to be boozed up the whole time. Any good stories about Vegas?
Master Shake Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 I don't remember much from the trip. That's probably for the best. My only tip is watch The Hangover and do the opposite.
purifier Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 You know what they say: "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." Yeah.....that's all I got.
Revan 411 Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 My only tip is watch The Hangover and do the opposite. While your at it, you should also watch the Simpsons episode ''Viva Ned Flanders''
Gurges-Ahter Posted August 5, 2009 Author Posted August 5, 2009 That's probably for the best. My only tip is watch The Hangover and do the opposite. The one thing I do remember is saying, "and then she walked away with our money." Ouch.
Canderis Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 Creepy. My dad is in Vegas now. He sent me a pic Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) Its taken from a restaurant that spins around. He said food was good, might be nice to go there. Don't know what its called though.
Master Shake Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 Oh yea, drink a lot of water cause it's ********ing hot.
Gurges-Ahter Posted August 6, 2009 Author Posted August 6, 2009 whats your job, Gurges? I'm a Sr. Financial Analyst for a defense company... sounds interesting, right? ha. The training is for a new requirement levied by the Govt that gives more insight into the ways government contractors (like my company) spend govt funding. The funny part is that its intention is to monitor the use of tax-payer dollars, but it costs millions of tax-payer dollars (per contract) to implement. Anyway my company has decided to make me the resident expert so I get to gamble, drink, and look at ridiculously gorgeous women for a week and then pretend I learned something when I get back.

Well if your goal was to get me jealous, you've succeeded.
Q Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 I'll bet that he makes a ****load of money doing it, too. The world is an unfair place. You know what they say: "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." Unless you can't wash it off with bleach. Then you bring it home with you.

Just "look at"? You do realize that it's Vegas, right?

I should remember more this time around since I have to work; I'm not allowed to be boozed up the whole time. Any good stories about Vegas? If you can manage to get in at one of their fine resort hotels, it's hella worth it. Circus Circus is like an indoor museum park at the top--nerds can all attest I'm sure. Arcade, rides, cool souvenir stores. Just don't lose a hat on the ride--nobody gives a flying crap if you get it back or not. Awesome drive down the mainstay of the resorts and casinos. DO bring a camera! Oh and do watch it around gas stations. Highway crewmen, county labor (employing inmates), hoodlums, and people going postal have some notoriety in that city around gas stations. Up north of that, at a large trucker pit stop area there is a little restaurant/casino-in-one. Small one room casino entrance and its adjacent restaurant is about the size of an ihop give or take. BEST damn steak and eggs I ever had! Don't remember the name, but if you do manage to stop there, you won't be sorry. Next time I go to Vegas I'm a make a stop in there again on my way in or out, should I happen to be driving.
Mav Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Just "look at"? You do realize that it's Vegas, right?nah, it's true Q, the "look but don't touch" rule gets enforced, I had the bruises to prove it too...
purifier Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Orignally Posted by Evil Q Unless you can't wash it off with bleach. Then you bring it home with you. Yep, that does happen. Or even worse, you marry someone on a whim when you were stink'in drunk and you end up bringing them home; and you don't even know who the hell they are.

You lucky, lucky, lucky....dog you! Some people have all the luck.
Rogue Nine Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Go to Joel Robuchon's and spend $500 on tiny portions of food that probably cost $2 to make.
Q Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 nah, it's true Q, the "look but don't touch" rule gets enforced, I had the bruises to prove it too... Ah, so you touched the wrong woman who happened to be in the wrong profession, then.
Darth Avlectus Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 ^^^^^^^ I know the picture is meant for a different sarcasm (towards guys' grab-ass-ing) but I find a particular relevance here anyways:
Mav Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Go to Joel Robuchon's and spend $500 on tiny portions of food that probably cost $2 to make.No Niner, when in Vegas, the necessity of all food necessities is going to an all you can eat sushi place, anything on the menu for $25... Ah, so you touched the wrong woman who happened to be in the wrong profession, then. Yeah... let's go with that
Q Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 OK, and always make sure to ask whether or not she's a cop...
Darth Avlectus Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 A good hint would be "keep your hands where I can see them" every time you try to even move your hands a little. Oh yeah, the MGM grand is also pretty cool. If there is any major events going on I'm sure you can buy tickets right there.
Gurges-Ahter Posted August 6, 2009 Author Posted August 6, 2009 Has anyone else been to (or heard of) the Spearmint Rhino in Vegas?
adamqd Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 LOL, There is a Spearmint Rhino in Birmingham England I went to, on my Friends fathers Stag night... If it's the same Establishment it will be XXX bud, XXX!
Gurges-Ahter Posted August 6, 2009 Author Posted August 6, 2009 Yeah I've been to the one in Vegas once before - all 10's. Amazing.
