Vegas in October
 

So... I'm going to this conference in October in Vegas. My boss will be there and I'm expected to do the usual networking and such - but should I find a moment or two on my own, what would you recommend?

Mind you gambling bores me, so is there something spectacular I should check out, some place to dine, or a show I shouldn't miss? Or maybe I'll get lucky and be able to see a DJ set from one of LoT's fine Vegas swankers?

Which part of gambling bores you? Occasionally winning money you didn't expect to have or generally losing money you can't afford to lose? Having the pit boss greet you, if only in your head, "Good evening, Mr. Bond. Your usual table?"

Slots are boring, however.

I can recommend Ka and O among the Cirque du Soleil shows but not Love.

Plenty of great restaurants but one I enjoy that doesn't have a celebrity chef name attached (or at least not one who is a celebrity to me) is Canaletto at The Venetian.

Are you going to be alone?

Somehow I would see Zumanity as the Cirque show of choice for €

Although I did enjoy O.

O.

O is awesome, and you'd very much enjoy Zumanity ... though perhaps not if you're alone.

I'd take Love over Ka, but i think you're getting the drift that you can't go wrong with Cirque du Soleil (even Mystere is still good, though a little creaky and showing its age).



There's not much else i like to do in Vegas. I'm also not a gambler, so there's less and less of interest there (heheh, just as i'm making more friends who live there). No more Spamalot, no more Star Trek.

I still love the fountain shows and the conservatory at the Bellagio. And there are some great restaurants at the Wynn. What's your price range? Vegas is, alas, a very expensive town.

have to agree. a really good O is worth the trip.

:evil:

Diego's in the MGM for some awesome mojitos. It's in the back by the monorail stop.

CraftSteak in the MGM is awesome, very swanky though pricey.

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be in to anything else I do there, well sans the people watching. The Venitian and Ceaser's are beautiful hotels, as is the Bellagio.

Oddly enough, the best Wor Wonton Soup I've ever had can be gotten at the 24-hour cafe in the Orleans. If you're into that sort of thing.

Apparently he's not planning on being alone.;)
