Official "Going to Vegas in..." Vol. II "It was time"

Checking in since we're finally deading the previous thread. I think it's been long overdue for the reasons already mentioned.




However, still going July 4th weekend. Anyone else?

That weekend can get expensive, quick.

We should make a list for Iron Man to put in the OG post...Something like

Favorite casino
Favorite hotel
Favorite place to eat
Favorite buffet

Fav Casino - Wynn/Encore. Great service, solid rewards, lively on weekend nights with XS/Surrender traffic but never overly packed

Fav Hotel - Palazzo. Largest standard rooms. Perfect for groups if 4-8. Can do connecting bella suites and just turn it into one large room with 4 queens and 2 fulls. Solid location with Tao, WynnCore and 1OAK all close

Fav place to eat - Holsteins. Amazing burgers with great options and solid beers on tap. Good atmosphere in Cosmo

Fav Buffet - Wynn. It's been the only 5 star one I've been to so it wins by default
 
just came back from MDW and no joke,if I can find a cheap/decent room, im in there. The yambs that was ran thru was epic...
 
Going for my Bday(7-21) weekend 19-22 of july. going with my girl and staying at either the venetian, ceasars or mgm. were still deciding. any advice between those 3. hoepfully with it being my bday + the $20 trick we can get a sick room. might up it to $100 trick to try to get real player. dont know what we gone do while out there but consider im not going with the bros ill have extra cash as i wont need BS or be doing to much clubbing so we should have a good time....
 
Man Tell me about it I went MDW 2011 and im still tryna recover lmao ...it was VERY expensive but well worth it
 
might up it to $100 trick to try to get real player.

FYI... $100 won't get you anything different than $20.

If rooms are available, then they are. $100 won't help if they're fully booked.

My friends have tried upping the tip. One of them tried a $50 bill and got upgraded. they saw the same clerk as they were walking to the elevators and he straight up told my boy the extra $30 was unnecessary.

It's widely known as the "$20 tip trick" for a reason.

Thanks for the tip boss.
 
Took this right outta the old thread. Figured it'd be asked here as well.

IronMan, feel free to add this to your OP.

Let's keep the EDC chat to a minimum. Will be an expensive weekend...if u can't afford bs get ur tickets to pool parties NOW. They will sellout, and all the major spots have them on their websites.

And for guys who just got back, post trip reports!!!

And what's the purpose of keeping "chat to a minimum"?
Also, everything in Vegas is expensive. Prices aren't high just during that week. Just because you aren't looking for good events/deals during that time doesn't mean everyone else isn't.

Memorial Day Weekend
EDC Weekend
Independence Day Weekend
Labor Day Weekend

In that order, are probably the most expensive Summer weekends in Vegas. Your best bets for deals is to do presales, so do that as soon as you possibly can.

That being said, if you are under 21, and in Vegas for EDC your options are fairly limited but you'll have fun purely on EDC alone.

I went in 2011 with no tickets, bought some off a scalper outside, trip was on a whim and had a blast. Last year, hype was bigger and didn't live up to it for me. Didn't help that a wind storm killed Saturday night. Even then, if I could go back I wouldn't do a 3-day pass. For the over 21 crowd there is too much to do that weekend to just focus on that one event for the entire weekend. That is just my two cents. Majority of EDC acts pop up at random clubs, not talking about those that already have residencies. The day clubs are popping as well.

People just coming in here saying "EDC!" is worthless, as was ur post.

This is mostly for information and helping each other. Is everything in Vegas expensive? I wouldn't know, never been.

Go read the first page clown.

I'd say

MDW
Labor Day
EDC
4th

But that's mostly club prices, I know EDC for hotels was absurd. If u cant afford BS just do a simple presale, they are all up at the major spots I checked last night.

Iron Man, update the og post man!
 
:lol:

I am, still compiling, if you guys want anything included feel free to copy/paste like miketheking did...
 
Might as well toss it in the thread: officially on board for July 13th. Booked ticket last night. Will be there thru 17th.

Go read the first page clown.

I'm creating discussion so other people can join in and give their input. How else would I mention it to receive information? I didn't write a worthless post, if you want an example of one refer to your horrible copy/paste job that is impossible to comprehend.

What have you contributed to this thread that is your own? Nothing. So quit pretending as if your offering so much to this thread. There are other people mentioning the dates alone that they are going in hope of receiving info like me. I wasn't aware you are dictating what topics are allowed. It appears as if there indeed is a clown in this thread and it isn't me.
