I can't believe we are going to miss you! Kimmifunn and the Olives in Vegas.... it would be "The Perfect Storm".:biggrin:

So far, I have tickets to Cirque du Soliel's Zumanity (John R's recommendation) and the Rancid concert at The House of Blues (nothing like aging punk rockers!). We are staying at the MGM Grand. Please ask your friend about anything else that's hip and happenin'!

Thanks everybody! I posted this, went and took an nap, and woke up to all this! I love it!:wub:

Oh, Olive, that is just crazy funn that you're going to see Rancid! Wait 'til I tell L'il Pea #1--he's a budding fan who's going to be so jealous!
I had a great meal at Mandalay Bay at China Grill. They have great bathrooms, too! MB also has a restaurant called Aureole where the big draw is that they have four or five stories of wine--floor to ceiling built-in racks. They have special wine girls (wearing catsuits, at least they used to...!) who literally scale the racks to retrieve bottles. You can watch from outside the windows--it's great campy funn! Also, MB has the shark reef.
I agree with Mer's friend--the Patisserie at the Venetian is really good, as are most of the food places there. I ate more than one meal there because that's where I was staying, but it was always good.
Make sure you go to the Bellagio to see the beautiful Chihuly glass there. And then I want you to go on a recon mission for me at the Wynn and report back!
 
I agree with everyone's suggestions here. Especially Hoover dam, Chihuly's glass works in the Bellagio, a Cirque show, a magic show (cheesy but funn), the roller coaster on top of that tower (can't remember the name), the lights downtown in the old original section of Vegas - the Fremont Experience (& people watch the freaks there too!), And the restaurant Peapod mentioned, Areola (I know I've misspelled it ;-)), the Venetian, the pool at Caesar's Palace. And if you want the best steak you've ever eaten in your life, go to "Golden Steer Steak House" on Sahara Ave. It's not on the tourist list, been there since the 50's when all the celebrities (Rat Pack) partied there following their shows on the strip. But it still does a booming business with the locals. Very dark, leather booths, discreet waiters. The restaurants are always packed and resrvations are needed ahead of time. So if you have your heart set on a few, make reservations.

Vegas is an absolute blast. I've been twice and had always said that I would NEVER go, but there's just something funn and carefree about it.
 
Don't forget the Spearmint Rhino;-)

Where are you staying?
You have to go to the Venetian. Go see a Cirque show. And of course Celine!
I have a friend that lives there. Want me to ask?

I know these are good:
Hard Rock: Nobu, Simon Kitchen & Bar
MGM: Craft Steak
Bellagio: Mixx

Let me ask her for you and I'll report back.

Hey Kimmi, My son moved to Vegas the end of August. let me know if you need an escort. I will give you his cell number.
 
The best part about Vegas is hearing normal noises when you leave the casinos. That, and the outskirts of town in the dessert where you don't see all of the crap that is in Vegas. There is some beautiful country out there. :D ...But don't listen to me. Enjoy your strip. Did I say that? I mean, enjoy your trip. :D

By the way, You can be on my kickball team anytime.
