Things To Do in Vegas When You're Dead
Not really when you're dead but Ive always wanted to use that line so I did. Last week was a busy week for me: went to Vegas and got married to the love of my life, got my first tattoo, bought a new car and a new tv. While I did have a blast i have a list of do's and dont's to pass on to yall the readers.
Things to Do
1. Get a rental vehicle if possible. It was part of our package and Im glad we did. The main strip is over 2.5 miles long and parking at all the hotels is totally free. We would drive down the strip, park at a certain hotel then walk up and down that area till our feet were tired. Taking the strip in little chunks like this will save your feet a whole lot of pain. The other section of old Vegas at Fremont street is several miles away and you would have to get a taxi to go see that anyways.
2. Go visit Madam Tussaud's interactive wax museum at the Venetian. Ive been to a lot of wax museums in my life but none that you could interact with and take pictures with. Where else would i be able to take a picture of me hanging out with Matthew McConaughey or a picture of me hitting Shaq in the nuts while he's going up for a block?
3. Go to Fremont street and hang out and watch the light show. Every night on the hour there is a light video show on the roof of the street. Sometimes its a techno inspired event or it could be a country jam with country artists. Every hour it seems to change what they show. Very very cool. Plus in that area there are some great drink specials, great food and a chance to go visit The Golden Nugget and 9 other casinos.
4. Go see "Bite" at the Stratosphere. Well go see that show if you are into topless hot chicks dancing to heavy metal/hard rock music and some great audience participation deception.
5. Go up to the tower of the Stratosphere for a great view of Vegas or if you have some extra dough to spend get a meal at the Romance at the Top of the World restaurant. The restaurant does a full rotation of vegas once an hour. Very romantic. For this brave enough you can go up to the top outside of the tower and ride three amusement park type rides.
6. Get a tattoo! There are many many tattoo parlors on the strip and most are too high priced but you can also find some inexpensive ones off the strip or further towards the downtown area. The tattoo i received on my left calf as seen above was very inexpensive by Gary at Starborn Tattoo.

Things Not to Do
1. Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay. What a total waste. Nothing you haven't seen before at any zoo or Sea World, and its damn expensive too.
2. Dont overstay your welcome at a slot machine. If you hit a jackpot on quarters or nickel machines that is $60 bucks or above go on ahead and head to another machine because rarely are you gonna hit big again.
3. Unless you're gonna watch a game which you can at a million other places don't waste your time at the Espn Zone at New York, New York. I was highly disappointed.
4. Don't waste your few remaining dollars left at the Airport slot machines!!!
