Las Vegas guide and MSE thread 2012

Personally, I was very disappointed with Stripburger on my last visit. Quality of the food was very average and not worse the money, even with a restaurant.com voucher. Will avoid next time.

Hi everyone

Got back from Vegas on Monday and am missing it loads - been reading through people's reports and thought I would add a few things that I did which may be of use to someone!

Skydiving - amazing experience in an amazing location, would not hesitate to do again, and much cheaper than doing it in the UK. Did it with these guys http://www.skydivelasvegas.com/ who were absolutely fantastic, really put you at ease when jumping from 15,000 feet!

The Gun Store Been here before but went with a few first timers so took them here. Good day out and worth doing at least once, queues can be long so best to arrive early. Instructors are great and you can take some decent pictures with the guns afterwards!

Absinthe at Caesars. Last minute decision to see a show saw me searching on trip advisor - saw this had great reviews and found a 25% discount online so booked it up. The show was amazing, actually hilarious. Don't go if you are easily offended but I would definitely recommend going to see this one! Lots of variety.

Cabo Wabo at Miracle Mile Went in here as we were starving, food was great but service wasn't up to much, had to wait ages for food and drinks but we were hungry!

The Cheesecake Factory Always go here when in Vegas and am never disappointed - must go!

Fat Tuesday's Always seen these in Vegas and never even thought about going here. Trip Advisor rates then number 1 (!) of all the restaurants in Vegas. Reading further I found out this was because of their cheap (strong) drinks that are refillable for the price of a beer in our hotel. Get a refillable cup on your first day and top it up as you go along, great value and extra shots only $1.

No big wins to report, constantly playing the Wizard of Oz slots as seen on here, had a $90 win one night on it but probably put more in over the course of the holiday :rotfl:

Can't wait to go back!

about a year ago, there was construction going on opposite Cosmo / Crystals (I think)... I presume that's all finished now, can anyone update with what's there now?

It's a big Walgreens and additional retail space, etc, there are now pedestrian bridges crosssing the strip and Harmon.
