I'm off to Vegas in a couple of months and wondered if anyone had any recommendations on good restaurants, Bars, shows etc. Going with the wife for my 40th.
Thanks all

Theres two main residential suburbs here in the Las VEGAS valley, Henderson & Summerlin.
Henderson is a City in its own right, I can drive from my house to the MGM Grand in roughly 15 mins

Andreas at the Wynn is great for special dinner and rammed with fit birds. They will also sort club entrance afterwards which is a bonus.
There's a small club/bar at the very top of Mandalay bay which has a terrace overlooking the whole strip. Great party atmosphere and venue so would recommend
Duelling pianos in one of bars at New York was a good laugh .
Think canyon is worth the day out. Had amazing times in a few trips to Vegas over the years, with both lads and Doris, but that's still up there with the best thing I've done there

Tbh I didn't think the cabs were that expensive. $20 from the Tropicana to Fremont st.
I did use the bus quite a bit, get a travel card. There's a fast bus which is a bendy bus and a local bus that stops all up the strip.

I was in Las Vegas 3 weeks ago, and usually go once a year.
*I don't rate the Mirage Volcano show, but really enjoy the fountains at the Bellagio (from Oceans 11).
*if you have time to go to the Grand Canyon, it is worth it. For a quicker daytrip if you're into hiking go to Red Rock Canyon, which is only 30 minutes away.
*Wherever you stay, signup for the Casino Rewards card. Show it wherever you spend money inside the casino, and you often get discounts on shows and meals. The MLife reward card is good at Bellagio, Mirage, Mandalay Bay, and many others for example.
*The Beatles Love Cirque Du Soleil show at the Mirage was good, not great.
* If you are staying at Caesar's Palace, they frequently will upgrade your room, if you give the desk-clerk $20 when you present your id.
*I walk everywhere I go on the Strip or take the Monorail. Both are perfectly safe at anytime.

The peppermill top of the strip.
Tony Romans in Fremont st
In and out burger is a must
Off the strip near the Orleans hotel is an Irish pub. The grub in there was lovely, cheep to and you could get a decent beer.
There's a decent bar to the right of Newyork Newyork. Beerhaus I think it was called. Food was good and you can sit at the bar it has TVs all round it.
The tipping gets on ya wick after a while though.

Lyft not Uber - sign up early and take all the offers from the front desk and you can whizz round town for pennies
Grand Canyon wipes out a day - perhaps drive out to the valley of fire instead.
Go out to trailer park for some cool breakfasts and lunches.
Fremantle experience is rough as, it's basically Blackpool but for Americans.

Get there quick as well... fuck going there when it's near parity to the pound... I think I almost done as much in three nights there than I did in my other 14 nights in CAL-ARZ and NEV... and I never punted a dollar

Was sent this info when I asked my American work colleagues about Vegas. Hope some of it helps.
Definitely do the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam trip.

use Uber and not local taxis, much cheaper.
Breakfast buffets at Wicked Spoon and Caesars
Watch the Volcano show at the Mirage hotel – runs daily at 8pm, 9pm and 10pm (I think)
If you like eating fish then go to Boiling Point
If you want a great burger, go to Gordon Ramsey’s burger joint in Planet Hollywood called BurGR.
Scott Conant’s place, Scarpetta, in the Cosmopolitan, is a great Italian restaurant. My mom, sister and I had a great meal there last year.
For Chinese, Jasmine at The Bellagio, is a good choice. Also, I haven’t been there for a few years, but my brother and I had a great Chinese meal at Fin at The Mirage.
It’s a bit of a haul to the South, but The M casino has a great buffet. My brother and I went there last year and stuffed ourselves silly. Also, I haven’t been there for a few years, but the buffet at The Bellagio was good every time I went there. FYI, the Cirque show “O” is still my favorite Las Vegas show, followed closely by “Ka” at MGM.

Jabberwockyeez show at the MGM Grand was the best thing about Vegas for me... rest of it I can take and leave in sin city... only time I have ever felt like a town wanted every last cents out of my Sky Rocket... Naaaah... I'll stay in Death valley, Yosemite NP and Grand Canyon a bit longer next time...
