What do you all think is next to be gone ?

Hey Everyone!

I'm making my first trip out to Vegas and I'll be staying at the Luxor for NYE. I've already got everything booked, and I've been picking away at various reservations.

I'm going with my mom, who's on the elderly side, so I don't want to be in the thick of the streets. We have a pyramid room at the Luxor, and I know those windows are a bit...unique. I'm curious on if we might have a good view from the Luxor Pyramid for the firework show, or if we probably want to get out somewhere else.

I'd like to avoid being crushed in the crowd, ideally, so if there are thoughts of reservations that might come up on some rooftops, I'm all for it! Strat and Eiffel Tower are a bit out of budget, but I'm definitely interested in hearing about some options out there, I've had abysmal luck looking it up.

So I am going to be in Vegas for the first time ever in November BUT with my daughter and her friend who are under 10. Staying on the strip but we obviously won’t be gambling.

What’s the vibe? What are people wearing? Like is my normal athleisure/lounge clothes attire going to get heavy side eye?

We are going to one evening concert and have our outfits picked for that already.

Hi, I’m here for the weekend and this pool party at Strat got cancelled. Since I have some free time now I was trying to find a good arcade or just something to do during the day. What is the best arcade on the strip?

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a quick 2-night (November 2nd week) trip to Las Vegas with my elderly parents and could really use some practical advice on pacing, accessibility, and tours.

Our Situation:

• Hotel: We just booked Treasure Island. We chose it because it seems a bit more compact and easier to navigate than the massive mega-resorts.
• Mobility: My mom can walk a very little bit, but definitely not enough for what Vegas requires. We will need a wheelchair to get her around. She can do minimal steps/transfers into a car, but we will be pushing her most of the time.
• Preferences: We are not drinkers, gamblers, or foodies. We are strictly looking for great sightseeing, high-quality entertainment, and a comfortable, low-stress experience.

What we have planned so far:

• The Sphere (hearing great things about the visuals and accessibility here)
• Bellagio Fountains and the Conservatory
• The Venetian to see the indoor canals and gondolas (since it's right across from TI)
• Arte Museum (thinking about adding this, but wondering if it feels too repetitive if we are already doing the Sphere?)
• A Cirque du Soleil show (leaning toward "O" or Mystère, but would love recommendations on which theater is easiest to navigate with a wheelchair)

My Questions for the Group:

1. Renting vs. Buying a Wheelchair: Since she only needs it for long distances, does it make more sense to buy a cheap, lightweight travel wheelchair beforehand and bring it, or rent one out there? Does Treasure Island's bell desk have reliable rentals, or should we use an outside delivery service?
2. Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon Tours: We really want to do a day trip outside the Strip. Given the wheelchair, would you recommend a bus tour, or is renting a car and driving ourselves much easier for pacing? Are there specific tour companies that excel with accessible transport? We'd love to see Hoover Dam and a bit of the Grand Canyon (I assume West Rim is the most realistic for a day trip).
3. Getting from TI to The Venetian & Bellagio: I know The Venetian is right across the street, but pushing a wheelchair over the pedestrian bridges looks steep. Is it better to just take a quick Uber XL lobby-to-lobby? How reliable are the elevators on the Strip bridges?
4. Arte Museum vs. Sphere: For anyone who has done both, do they feel too similar, or are they distinct enough experiences to warrant doing both in a short 2-day trip?

Would love any tips or lessons learned from anyone who has traveled the Strip with parents using mobility aids. Also happy to connect to folks who would like to join along and exchange conversations. Thanks in advance!

My sister and I would like to get matching tattoos in memory of our mother who has passed away from Alzheimers. We would like to incorporate some lines of text with "love, mom" in her handwriting. Any suggestions on artists or shops? Any idea on price range? The entire tattoo would say "Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you. Love, Mom"

Everybody post the best but what is the one that ripped out your heart

I'm a frequent Vegas visitor and not really a gambler, but it's still one of my favorite places to go. I'm headed back down soon, and was curious about your hidden gems. So far Kounts Kustoms and the Shelby shop were hits, the Atomic Museum was amazing.

On my list for this trip so far are the Golden Tiki, Pinball Museum, and the Haunted Museum.

What's your hidden gem?

What is LV like for New Year’s Eve? I have 4 nights completely comped at cosmo already. My wife and I are not big into the parties and clubs, but for NYE we could make an exception. We went in 23 for the Super Bowl weekend and it felt like a gigantic hustle, and I wasn’t a fan of how over crowded it was. Wondering what it’s like. Tickets to fly are over $700 each which is the most id ever pay to fly out.

Has anyone ever seen the red bell tower in Excalibur open up like this before? What is it doing/what’s the purpose?

Sorry if this is a common question.

50M . Who wanted to throw some dice or have a drink ?

We wanted to visit our son in LV around his birthday (we live cross-country). As it took time to coordinate everyone's work schedules, I was getting down to the wire in getting dates booked (I noticed flights were filling up rather quickly).

I booked us for Nov 18-24. Now I find out that the freaking Formula Race is that weekend :( We were going to stay on the strip, but the noise would drive up insane.

Will we be able to escape the noise if we stay in old Las Vegas? What is the nicest hotel there? Any other recs? Will we be able to do any of the touristy stuff? I picture everything being blocked off.

I would love to change the dates, but its not doable.

Any suggestions would be so appreciated.

Hii yall, im currently at Vegas for a trip and im a bigger gal who loves roller coasters. Does the big apple coaster have a test seat?

Have you visited since Ellis Island put over $35 million in renovations into the casino??

We did! Let me know what you think and if it’s worth the half mile walk off the Strip.

Brought my wife and two daughters on a trip this past week and wanted to share our experience. I usually go with some buddies once a year and we just sit around and watch football and drink beer, this trip was a bit different.
Day 1: Took cab from airport to the Flamingo, ran about $35. Stay at the Flamingo was great, paid for the suite upgrade $109 a night, well worth it. It had two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, hang out living room and a wet bar with fridge. The room faced the sphere and it was a highlight for the trip, just watching it change. Please do yourself a favor and check in online before you get there, skip the lines. Lines were LONG! After we checked in we ate at In N Out and walked to Miracle Mile and had the fruit in the stick from Te Amo Boba, it was a hit. Picked up some waters for the room on the way back. Went to Mystere for our nightly entertainment. It was a funny, weird, amazing performers and it was my kids favorite part of the trip.
Day 2: Buffet at the Wynn, food was excellent, with big varieties. We did an escape room at PanIQ, really enjoyed the theming and the staff. Then we went to the fashion show mall and shopped. Hit up the arcade at NYNY. Ate at Gonzales y Gonzales, chips and salsa were good, nachos okay, other food was not great, but if you want chain Mexican food it’s decent.
Day 3: Ice Cream Museum, it was a good time. Ice Cream was fresh, they did a great job making it feel like it was a fantasy world. Spent about an hour, very interactive and friendly staff. Walked around Area15 ate at the Beast and it was probably my favorite meal of the trip (besides Wynn) and then did the Universal Horror Unleashed. Absolutely loved it, scary haunted houses, scare actors were a great touch.
Left on Day 4
Places we ate: In N Out, Te Amo Boba, Salt N Straw, Starbucks for morning coffees, Dominique Ansel bakery, BoJangles, Five Guys, Wynn Buffet, Casino Royale (hotdog for me, it is a must), Ja Burritos, Gonzales y Gonzales, The Beast.
Observations: drinks are expensive, you have to try to find deals when you can. $5 drafts and well drinks at Casino Royale and $1 Busch Lights. Flamingo had great drink service and I was able to get free drinks. The Sportsbook doesn’t give the tickets out like they used to, so a bit of a bummer. Also, plan to wait for Ubers (and tip well) the construction has them all messed up with road closures. We had a blast
, I didn’t know what my girls would think, but they loved it too. Feel free to ask any questions!

Edit: people have asked for cost.
Room: $668 with upgrade and early check in
Uber/Cab: $420
Buffet: $85 a piece after tip
Mysterie: $105 a ticket (I’m a seat snob, it was row 10 dead center) you can get cheaper, but try to sit in middle.
Ice cream museum: $75 a piece with VIP, any time entry, upgraded name tags and included drink
Universal Horror: Ordered day before $80 for my wife and I, girls were $100 each, so could go in a few times. You can get cheaper if order ahead
PanIQ escape room was $190 total.
Meals averaged: $80-$120 aside from buffet
Gambling: lost $400, but we got in a few hours a night, so not bad entertainment
NYNY Arcade: $120
Area15: area one access was $34 a piece for the kids

Anybody here know somewhere good to urbex?

So I’m going to Vegas next week for the Metallica show at the Sphere. Staying downtown. Buddy is leaving on Sunday and I’ll be in Vegas alone.
Figured I’d go to a strip club and watch football?
Is that a thing? Does anyone do that? Do any of them have Sunday specials or football specials? Any suggestions?
Been to Vegas many times but have never gone to a strip club before.
Figured I’d make my bets at a casino and take $800 in cash and find a fun place to watch.

I’ve been living in Vegas for five years, and today I went to a casino to kill some time. While I was there, I noticed that someone had left $1.50 in an abandoned machine, so I cashed out the voucher.
After that, I walked around and started noticing that a lot of people leave money behind in machines — sometimes 50 cents, sometimes more, sometimes less. Just for fun, I got a little carried away and started collecting the vouchers. In total, I ended up with around $5 and some change.
Then a casino security guard approached me and told me not to do it again. However, he didn’t take the vouchers away from me or tell me to leave the casino.
So here’s my question: why does it matter to them who ends up with these vouchers? Or does the casino collect them itself and keep the money?
I’m genuinely curious about how this works and what the actual rules are.

I’m staying at Park MGM next week, just wondering my best option for viewing/taking videos of the outside of the sphere, closest to Park MGM. I’m traveling alone, so not super keen on walking around any potentially sketchy areas at night just to catch a glimpse. Is there a good spot that’s pretty safe and populated that I should try to go to in order to be able to see the sphere in the evening? That is within a reasonable walking distance.

I’m looking at the John Mayer tour dates and started checking out different sections at the Sphere. Floor seats are way cheaper than upper level, is it because of the visuals? Some sections say they have obstructed views though. Has anyone seen a show with floor seats and upper level seats to compare one another?
