Flight and hotel booked. Going down July 7th-12th. So psyched!
First important question: where are the good places to eat?

wooohoooo
Who you going with ?
Please try try a pizza with friggin MEAT on it Pepperoni or Meatball are both good.
what types of food do you want to try there ? Give me some types and I will give some suggestions.
I'm going down with the gf. She gets to shop while I hopefully win enough to cover (her) expenses.
These are the versions you need for max chips:
Myvegas Facebook
Konami slots Facebook or mobile (chips are shared)
Myvegas mobile
Myvegas blackjack mobile
Pop slots mobile
All earn you gold chips for play. Get the gf doing it too. Gold chips can be exchanged for rooms, food and show tickets. You will need to get a mlife card in Vegas. The email you use for Facebook and your mlife account must match.
Redemptions are the lowest cost in gold chips for all the 2 for 1 offers but that will also maximize your savings, since you are travelling as a couple. You can cash in 3 rewards per person. So that could be 3 free meals and 3 free show tickets or whatever.
My next trip I am going with a 2 for 1 spa at Mandalay Bay (used the same reward on my last trip), free lunch buffet at Mirage and 2 for 1 sandwich at Carnegie deli at the Mirage. The deli is amazing, Peteski and I ate there last trip.
The rewards reload every few days so if what you want is sold out, keep watching.
Currently I have 600,000 gold chips, which is enough for a free cruise and I have put total about $10 into these games, never mind the free rooms, shows and food I have cashed in over the years.

My favourite burger place is in the Paris ...... the burgers are amazing and they have sick sides. Waffle fries are really good and they have onion rings that have spicy cheetos dust mixed into the batter.
If if you like Thai food you have to go off the strip to lotus of Siam. Best Thai food I have anywhere.

for steaks I go to Prime at the Bellagio every trip but almost any of the steak places do an amazing job. Craft steak at MGM , Cut Steakhouse in the Pallozzo, SW at the Wynn, Golden Steer is off the strip and one of the oldest in Vegas.
These 2 are my favourite places for having a bunch of appetizers Fix at the Bellagio and Stack at the Mirage both have the same owner and similar menus..... you must try the lollipop chicken wings, Mac and cheese bites, slider burgers, and hot rocks where you cook thin beef slices on a crazy hot rock.
I would suggest you take your girlfriend to one of the shows. For a first timer I would go to Le Reve at the Wynn..... there is not a bad seat in theatre in the round and it is a Cirque du Soleil type show that also has the stage open up into a water show too.

it starts with a hidden front door, then once inside they have live frank sinatra type singer and really good old school Italian food. It’s about a 10 min cab ride and definitely worth checking out.
Hashhouse a go go for breakfast one time. +CR card
Chicken and ribs and beers in the BBQ at Ellis Island.
https://www.miraclemileshopslv.com/mall-directory/la-salsa-cantina/ is your best choice for a cheap breakfast in Vegas.
In n out is an ordinary burger and the fries are pretty much crap but it is a Vegas thing you do when hammered at 2 am. Then it doesn't seem so bad.
I agree. When there are sooooo many amazing burger places with wicked good fries too I would pass on the In and Out burger.
If you don’t do Brasserie burger at Paris then try one of these....
burger bar at Mandalay Bay or Holsteins at the Cosmopolitan . Both of those are good choices.

They do not care how much you take to Vegas but DO NOT try and sneak it across because if they catch you they can confiscate it and make travel to the USA very difficult in the future.
In Vegas you have people with a couple hundred thousand in their backpacks so don’t worry about walking around with 5 or 10 grand in your pocket .
i use the room safe if it’s under 20k and have got a safety deposit box at the hotel when I had much much more than that.
I wired funds to the Rio one year and would not recommend it... giant pain in the ass, big fees on both sides.
And yeah, much easier to get cash ahead of time from the bank and just bring it with you.
further to what Andrew says ......
royal pain in the ass.
i used to do it when I played mostly Blackjack. One time that won huge they would only wire back the same amount I wired and I had to carry the extra cash anyways. Also casinos assume that you are using front money for PIT games not poker so if you did send money via wire and didn’t play a fair bit in the pits they would never accept another wire from you.
Its a totally stupid system.
Waffle fries mmmmmmmm .
This is one is fun. And the Chandelier bar is pretty darn spectacular.

Staying at the Flamingo.
Perfect location centre of the strip, you can walk everywhere from a good home base. Y’all better bring your bathing suits too, usually it gets up over 110 the first couple weeks in July.
do you like nachos ? Everyone like nachos.....
margaritaville volcano nachos...... they are HUGE and amazing !

Holy fuck that's some nachos!
I will be arriving late on Sunday so the plan is to get to the hotel to check in after a quick stop at the "medicine" store. Plans for first night: get drunk fast and wander down the strip.
