Looks like you've got it all planned out. If you're going with others, don't be surprised that all your plans don't work out. People tend to get "lost" gambling in the casinos.



I recommend the Bellagio buffet for your buffet. It's one of the best in town.



I see you've chosen Delmonico for your steakhouse. Good choice, it was in my top 5 steakhouses. Emeril does a bang up job. I have a little story about Delmonicos. Last time we were there, after dinner we scraped all our leftovers onto one plate so the waiter could put it all into a dog box for our two rottweilers. We were sitting there at our table when a group of men came in, sat at the table next to us, and one of them pointed to our plate full of leftovers and told the waiter "that looks really good, I'll have what they had" LOL!!! So that should tell you how yummy Delmonicos is.



I also have noted you've planned a lot of time for happy hours in bars. You will find that probably one hour or so is enough then you'll probably want to get on the move in the casino. You can walk around with drinks everywhere and they are free when you're gambling.



The Hilton is the best choice for sports. Excellent plan for that.



Be careful driving on the Strip. Lots of crazy tourists who dart in front of you!! When I used to work at the Flamingo I used to use my car horn the entire time on the Strip. Everyone just walks right out in the street because they are so excited.



Have fun while here and don't forget to get a shrimp cocktail at the Golden Gate Casino when you're downtown at Fremont Street.
Wow - I think this is a great itinerary. It will keep you hopping! On Saturday, having lunch around noon will mean crowds anywhere on the Strip, of course. But if you are on the South side of the Strip and want to have a bite to eat at a fun place, try ESPN Zone in NY NY. You are obviously a football fan, and they will have college games on the TVs, assuming you can get a table.



Mandalay Bay also has some good places for lunch, like Red White %26amp; Blue (deli), Burger Bar, and Border Grill.



Have a great trip!

see this website http://www.insidervlv.com it has a slot machine offerings of free stuff! Squint eyes to find it! Info on LasVegas, NV available.



Buffet @ Planet Hollywood on the strip. Across from the Bellagio.



Best home brewed Root Beer is at Ellis Island. Way behind Bally's off of Flamingo. Turn Right at Arco gas station, go 300 feet turn left.

Ask for the 24 hour steak special. Do sign up for the slot club membership!
I recommend taking a couple of hours to do the tour at Hoover Dam. I was pretty skeptical on this one too - how much fun could a dam be? It was absolutely fascinating - the highlight of my trip.



Red Rock Canyon is also very beautiful (as mentioned by the previous poster). Be sure to take a camera.
If you can fit it in.....morning or afternoon I would highly recommend taking a drive (just a few miles west maybe a 15 minute drive??) to the Red Rock Canyon (mojave desert area).

You can take a short or longer scenic drive or take a long or short hike. It really is beautiful...

Maybe work off all the steaks and drinks you'll be having...lol



Edit: www.redrockcanyonlv.org
One night you should try Nobu at the Hard Rock. INCREDIBLE.



Your intinerary sounds great! Have fun! I've heard the Hilton has one of the best sports books in Vegas. Another good one is @ Caesars. Delmonico is absolutely delicious. You will love it! :)
Sounds awesome but it Vegas and anything can happen. And where do you shoot machine guns i went looking for that when we were there and couldn't find it
go to red rock or venture away from the strip we have alot of cool things other then the strip...................... oh and dont go to the gun place its wako


sounds like fun... but I like a bit more flex to my schedule.
i like it or you could walk outside and see what finds you!
You know your not going to stay on this schedule as when you get there you'll see other things that you might want to do but forgot to add it!! You sound like my type of guy

Well I have to disagree with some other posters. I have been to Hoover Dam and Red Rock Canyon and they were both pretty boring. The rides out there are long, and once you get there it isn't all that entertaining.



Are you into roller coasters? The one in NY NY and the one on stratosphere give you really cool views of the town. My favorite bar (I wouldn't call it a club) is the VooDoo Lounge on top of Rio - cool drinks, cool views.



The best thing that I have done there, if cost isn't an issue, is rent a helicopter and fly over the Grand Canyon. That was definitely worth the time spent and the price paid.



Oh, and I think that your plan of getting up at 8 AM every morning is VERY optimistic for LV! : )
