1.)Has anyone here been to Vegas and had a good time? If so, what are the best things to see/do?
1.) Ok, Well, every day is a good time if you know your way around, the strip has a ton of stuff to see and do, I recommend the pirate show at the Treasure Island, the Lion Exhibit at The Mirage, and the Watershow at the Bellagio, but these are just a few starter ones
2.)Has anyone here been to Vegas and had a bad time? If so, any tips as to what to avoid?
2.) Well, Dont know really, nothing too terrible happened to me, been going well the last 5 years
3.)Has anyone stayed at either The Excalibur or The Flamingo? Anything you can tell me about them?
3.) The Flamingo is a part of Vegas history, besides that it has one of the top 3 pools in las vegas, besides that, the rooms are very nice On the contrary, the excalibur is a bit lacking in its rooms (the flamingo is a bit more expensive aswell) but Excalibur has a King Banquet (or something like that) every few days, you can watch like knights jousting and eat stuff fit for a king (or so they say I hear great things about this show)
4.)I hear that there is a superb "piano bar" in the New York, New York hotel...anybody heard of this?
4.) Yep, its a must-see in vegas..... very high class
5.)How much does a beer cost in vegas? do you normally tip in bars or what?
5.) Depends on where you go, most places theres free drinks for the ladies or free first drink for everyone or free drinks with ticket purchase, or a combination of these, besides that, drinks are quite cheap here, but tip is almost mandatory, unless you get bad service (feel free to elaborate on that, but try to leave a tip most of the time)
6.) Anybody got any photos or tips to share about the place?
6.) I got tons of photos, but heres a few tips, make SURE you stop by Fremont Street (Or the Fremont Street Experience as they call it) and generally around the strip, theres plenty of things to see.... you might also wanna ride that really tall rollercoaster at New York New York, you could also check out The Venetian (in my opinion the best hotel here, its BEST place for newlyweds, very romantic cruise by gondola through venice (or a good recreation of it)
7.) s the Grand Canyon worth the visit? How long does it take to get there from Vegas?
7.) I think it takes 3 or so hours by car, its worth it though
8.) here would be the best place to stage a Stag Night (Bachelor Party) - preferably WITHOUT going downtown?
8.) now THIS i can answer but i need you to tell me in a bit more detail what you have in mind hehhehe
