Going to Vegas for 1st time!! Suggestion Please

I can only second plus3's recommendation concerning http://las-vegas.hotelscheap.org/. I've booked there as well and have been very satisfied.

Get a newspaper and use the plethora of coupons in them. Also, you can find like $5 all-you-can-eat buffets.

Do a breakfast at Hash House A-Go-Go after playing poker all night.

Treat it like you're going to work, you are there to make money playing poker. After work play a little bit. There's an old saying, "when you work, work hard, but when you play, play harder."

If you like sushi...

Kabuto
5040 W Spring Mountain Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89146

Two-factor (people) authentication for any large cash withdrawals or credit card advances could be helpful for a first timer I think...if it existed.

So, how was the trip???

most definitely it was an awesome trip for me and my wife. I think she got what she wanted to do and i did also. I wished i could have played more poker, but we decided to go back for our anniversary on july 20. Everything was just amazing. I have never seen anything like that. I think personally their is so much money to be won and lost on the strip when it comes to playing poker. Their are so many great structured tournaments and the cash games especially at the Aria Bellagio Venetian were just over the top. Even though i spent most of my time in the monte carlo. I will definitely be hitting up those places because there is so much action and so many people playing. Actually i am getting geared up for those days and i know that i will be ready to play games. Now if the cards run my way that is a different story, but i will definitely be ready

Glad to hear that you ended up having a great time in Vegas. Did you see the M&M factory or the Coca cola factory they are 2 great stores to check out.
