Unless you’ve been ignoring me lately (and sometimes I wouldn’t blame you), you know I’m going to Vegas this weekend for the first time ever. This weekend is Part Three of Eleventy Hundred in my Epic Summer.
Since I’m a Vegas virgin, I asked my Twitter friends to weigh in on the must-dos and must-sees while I’m there. Apparently 2.5 days is PLENTY of time on The Strip, but I’m having a hard time believing I’m going to fit in everything I want to do in those short days.
Listed below are some of the initial suggestions I received. What would YOU add to this list?

@doniree The Fountains at Bellagio at night are absolutely a must see. @dimwell gave you a damn good list!
- dimwell@doniree Forums @ Caesar’s Palace, Eiffel Tower @ Paris, Fountains @ Bellagio, Freemont St. Experience. Find more here: http://bit.ly/1KONx
- punsultant@doniree also regarding gambling: don’t go upstairs at the New York, New York casino. That’s a place for kids (for some reason) and it SUCKS
garciasn@doniree the playing cards people hand to you as soon as it gets dark.

Well the good thing? When we are walking on the Strip you wind up passing and seeing a lot of these things (Eiffel Tower, Bellagio, etc) so you will be able to fit that in, no problem. And Vegas has a way of showing you the town, if that makes any sense. Every time I'm there (this will be my 4th trip) I learn something new, see something accidentally and get comped something new. Tickets to a show. A stretch limo which will take us wherever we want. Oh, I also learned that 4 hours of sleep per night is considered a lot of sleep while in Vegas. It's an up all night city so we'll be just fine!
Four hours? I need to find the college spirit Doni…
Tell Grisham, Catherine, Nick & Brass hello.
Haha, ok…
i'm SO glad nora is going. also? like 25 hours from right now? we will be togetherrrrrrrr.
love your face.
Um, like 10 hours.
I worked in Vegas for 4 months, so I had plenty of time to play there. Go offstrip for one night (or part of one). To the Hard Rock Hotel. The gambling scene there is young, fresh and fun.
Ooh! Thanks for the suggestion!
