Las Vegas. Suggestions?

3AQ7 · Jul 23, 2009

Hey everyone,

If you've visited or live in Vegas I'd love some opinions and advice on where to go and visit.

The problem is, I can't experience the casino vibe, I'll only be 18.

Anyone have an suggestions on cool or fun places to there, only being 18 and a card collector?

Thanks in advance!

See phantom at the venetion, avenue q is good, mac king is funny, P&T, and Lance.

All good shows, avoid Believe though.

Most of the shows you can get into just being under 21. It's the gambling that is the only real age thing.

There are many "family friendly" shows here like Nathan Burton, Mac King, and many others.

For card collectors, there is the gambler's general store.

haha wellll, my bro is 18...he didn't let that stop him from gambleing/drinking and goin to clubs. he has a fake id tho...tht was...interesting. but anywho. as for where to go/visit i guess it all depends on what u like. so ill give u a list of shows/resturants/places overall that ive gone to and enjoyed and u can look more into those, take it from someone who goes every year.

shows:
the beatles love [even if ur not a beatles fan...awesome show!]
"O" was amazing, if u ever go to it dont sit in the front row, you'll get soaked, i learned tht the hard way.
david copperfield
"V" the ultimate variety show

resturants:

stacks [itz a steak house] @ the mirage
theres another right off the strip called casi di amore, itz italian? i think.
then various places inside the vanitian hotel, which the names i do not remember. but it depends what ya like.

theres rides on top of the stratosphere hotel and a roller coaster at the ny ny hotel

i cant think of anything else at the moment. but if u have ?s pm me.

P.S.-dont see believe itz not even worth the money to see how bad it is

Bad time to go, Copperfield is in Australia. I've seen clips of P&T's show, and it seems to be very good. Here's a review I wrote of BeLIEve:

Actually I would recommend going to Houdini's Magic Shop, especially if you are a Houdini fan. I recommend this not for the store itself, but for the mini museum. There is a display case (not too big, but still nice) that has many Houdini related items such as keys or handcuffs that he used. I personally enjoyed it.

I would recommend Mac King's show, especially at the low price it is. A funny and just fun show to watch, not to mention it also being a magic show. When I went to Vegas, another show I watched was Steve Wyrick's show. I really enjoyed that show. Might be worth checking it out...

There are also some great hiking spots near Vegas if you're into that. Red Rock Canyon was great and was also pretty close to Vegas. A little bit farther was Zion, which was beautiful. I hope you have a great time!

Absolutely. Glad I could help. Just a follow-up on the museum since you seem more interested, you might want to check this out. If you have more questions, feel free to ask, hopefully I can help!
