Definitely do Olives at The Bellagio. If you go for an early dinner (around 5) you can get a seat on the patio right in the fountains. Its really beautiful and easier to get these tables at the earlier time. I also love Mon Ami Gabi at the Paris hotel. Very nice environment and good food. If you like Italian, try Onda at Mirage. Excellent food.
I also recommend Mystere by Cirque du Soleil at Treasure Island. I found this one to be the best so far and the most reasonably priced one. I've heard Zumanity, is also good for couples because it is risque.
Spa depend on which hotel your staying at. Im sure you could visit the spas even if your not a guest but I'm not sure. The one at Caesars is heavenly :)
IF you need any more tips or have any more question feel free to FM me. I go to Vegas every year so I think I'm pretty knowledgable LOL

I have been to Vegas 4 or 5 times, LOVE IT. However, we're planning on having our bachelor AND bachelorette parties out in Vegas and I don't know what we can do. The girl's group will probalby just be a total of 3-5 girls (me included) and the guys will be 4-6 guys. I think it's easier for the guys (some fun at the hotel pool, maybe some gambling, and lots of stripper joints, LOL), but what should we ladies do???
I was thinking to look into a pole dancing class? LOL Besides going out clubbing and hitting the hotel pool, any ideas on what to do that isn't toooooo expensive? THANKS!

Re: Vegas Recommendations?
Vegas is so much fun. O is great but my all time favorite is Lance Burton at The Monte Carlo. Ghose Bar is fun but usually a very long line to get in. Voodoo Lounge at the Rio is alot of fun as well. Coyota Ugly in New York New York Hotel is another fun spot if you like to drink and get all covered in booze. It is just like the movie. Carnaval Court at Harrah's is another good one. Mac King Comedy show is a cheap day time show that was hilirious at Harrah's. The dinner buffet at the Bellegio has great food. My favorite place to eat is Mon Ami Gabi in the Paris Hotel. It is french food and the steak classic is to die for. Bring comfortable shoes, there is a lot of walking and so many different things to see

Re: Vegas Recommendations?
Tao is the absolute best club. It is at the Venetian. If you call there and say it is a bachelorette party I am sure you can get on some kind of list. It is great because even though it is a club, the atmosphere is so beautiful. I haven't really been to too many shows out here believe it or not. There are also some really cool places to go off the strip if you have a car.

Re: Vegas Recommendations?
We were just there this weekend - I don't recommend going during the All Star game, but otherwise I love Vegas. We ate dinner at Fix (at the Bellagio) and 808 (at Caesar's) - I highly recommend both. There's also a Rao's that just opened in Caesar's that's much bigger than the one here so you might actually be able to get a table. We also got a couples massage at the Canyon Ranch Spa at the Venetian, which was really nice. And you don't have to stay there to get a treatment (not true of the Bellagio and some other spas). I also highly recommend Mystere - I've seen Mystere, O, and Ka (on different trips, not at once) - Mystere is by far my favorite. O's next. Ka is more story-like than other Cirque shows and it involves a war so my husband really enjoyed it. We also had a fantastic time at Blue Man Group - lots of fun. And my husband really loved Quark's Bar (but he's kind of a trekkie...) - anyway, the food there was actually pretty good and we got a very strong and tasty alcoholic beverage that was smoking (dry ice). It was a good time. I can't remember where I've eaten on other occasions... but there a lot of NY restaurants there (Il Molino, Aureole, Le Cirque, etc.) so if you haven't had a chance to go to one here and it's on your list, it might be worth checking out. Aureole has wine fairies - I really wanted to see that but we didn't eat there. Good luck!

Re: Vegas Recommendations?
I was there a few months ago and I had a BLAST!!!!! I would totally recommend going to Studio 54 (had the BEST time there), Rain, Ghost Bar, Pure and Tao. I would not consider any of those places cheap, but they are a great time!! Have fun!!!

Re: Vegas Recommendations?
I just had my bachelorette party there!
Zumanity was incredible! I thought it was beautiful and hilarious. Very adult.
For a fantastic dinner we ate at Capital Grille at the Fashion Show. It was pricey - but the kona rubbed steak and Stoli Doli's were WELL worth it.
We stayed at Casino Royale - and it is a little bit of a hole in the wall - but it is cheap, it is clean and the gambling? Dollar roulette, dollar craps with hundred times odds... DOLLAR BOTTLE BEERS and it is right in the middle of so much.
We did the Stratosphere. All 3 thrill rides were soooo much fun... especially the one where they launch you off the side of the building!
M&M world was a big hit with my girls... but I really found 4 floors of friggin' M&M's to be too much for me. So instead I wandered next door to the Mexican place and had a yard long premium margarita on the rocks.
I am NOT a club person - but I had the BEST TIME going to watch the people going INTO the clubs at night. It was HILARIOUS to see the way some of the people were dressed. I may be mean - but it really was fun for me.
If you love Sephora there is a GIANT one at the Venetian. Yeah... I shopped. LOL
There were lions to see at the MGM Grand and I Peed in the Bellagio and wandered through the Chinese gardens there.
The fountain show at the Bellagio is a must see. It runs every half hour from 12-8 and then every 15 minutes until like 9 or 10.
Don't rent a car unless you are going outside of the strip - I wouldn't wander off the strip personally. Take the Deuce. It is a double decker bus and it costs $5 to ride ALL day up and down the strip.
Mostly - we drank, gambled and flirted with tons of guys. It was a BLAST!
I loved the spa in Paris, it was definitely one of my favorites. I highly recommend O at the Bellagio. I love Coyote Ugly and the Piano Bar in NYNY. Rum Jungle is one of my all time favorites. I haven't been to Pure in Caesar's, but I've heard amazing things about it!!!

Re: Vegas Recommendations?
Del Monicos in the Venitian (it is one of Emeril Lagasses restaurants) Have eaten there every time I've been to Vegas.
Wayne Newton was awesome (even for the young crowd). We paid $10 extra to be in the VIP seats and got to meet him after the show.
Amazing Jonathan (comedian) - a little rauncy - would not be in VIP seating unless you want to be called out and pulled up on stage. Definitely funny.
Recommend staying at Belagio/Wynn/Mandalay Bay

Re: Vegas Recommendations?
Which do you think is better?
Wynn or Bellagio?
Wynn is more expensive. I believe it is off strip but like right next to it.
Has anyone stayed at Wynn? Opinions?

I have not stayed at either but I know people who have stayed at both and both of them had nothing but amazing things to say about those places. The Wynn is on the strip but its a little further down past TI and the Venetian. I think the Bellagio has a much better central location to other hotels/casinos, but you can always take the bus for $5/day (bring exactly $5 bc they dont give change) HTH

I've stayed at the Bellagio. It's nice, but I liked The Venetian better. Wynn is by The Venetian, it's on the strip. but a little bit of a walk. I didn't find Wynn to be anything special. It looked EXACTLY like the Bellagio (same decor in the casino, same direction signs)...not very creative for $2.7 billion. If I had to choose, I'd stay @ Bellagio and save the money.

Re: Vegas Recommendations?
Stayed in Venezia Towers at the Venetian Hotel. It's expensive but they had an upgrade discount online before. FM loved the bathroom! Bellagio is great too!
Definitely watch Zumanity-- but if you get uncomfortable on sexual stuff then it might not be a good thing to watch.
FM loves the beatles so I surprised him and got tickets for the Fab Four. They were great! They even looked like the original casts.
Red Rock Tour - scenic rock formations and desert. We had a picnic lunch at the ranch.
Kahuhaville at Treasure Island is known to have the best martinis
Bouchon at Venetian - french bistro
Olives at Bellagio

Re: Vegas Recommendations?
We went to the spa in Treasure Island and it was great. I spent my weekend there during the last bachelorette party since I had a migraine.
By the way- we went in December not knowing it was the rodeo. I felt so out of my element with all the cowboys.
