    Did I tell you that they only charged me for 3hrs of open bar, but wound up giving us 4.5???

    That was a great night

    We need to do that again.

    Not get married, hit Vegas

    I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

      We are staying at the Cosmo.  Already heard about the pizza place from a couple other folks so  we will definitely be hitting that up.  We usually hit the Bellagio buffet and the Wynn buffet.  Thanks for the other pointers, this will probably be our 5th or 6th time in Vegas but its always good to get other people's faves.  We saw one of the Cirque de Soleils, liked it more than I thought I would.

      I need to start practicing my dice throwing!

        Cosmo looks really nice. Was in Vegas last April and stayed at the Flamingo. Got the new deluxe rooms facing the waterfall at Bellagio for 40usd a night. Worth every cent. Caught the David Copperfield show at MGM. Was okay but pretty short at about 40 odds minutes? More talking than action. Too bad I wasn't of legal age, so no gambling(though I managed to play blackjack downtown at Golden Nugget once).

          Ahhh, good ol' downtown…I had a pretty good haul from a craps table at the Fitz last time we were in town.  Hope I get another good run or two...need more IH!

            Too bad you're going in the winter. The Bamboo Pool at the Cosmo is the happiest place on Earth. Def check out the Wicked Spoon there

              Comme Ca at the Cosmo is actually pretty good. It's a modern French brasserie. There's a decent prix fixe menu at lunch. And the burgers are good.

              Across the street at Aria, Sirio Ristorante is good. It's pretty classic italian. Don't waste your time at Jean-Georges Steakhouse. The buffet at Aria is so-so. The Wynn blows it away.

              And you can't go wrong with Mastro's (I haven't been to this specific location, but have been to several others. They're all fantastic.), which is in the Crystals Shopping Center.

              Those are the places I know of and have been to that are close by.

              Also, inside the Cosmo is store for a company called Retrospecs. Go check it out. They find and refurbish old eyeglasses. I have three pairs and love them.

                If only I did more research on what to eat in Vegas. Had boring, boring breakfast at Denny's twice, a really mediocre meal at Wolfgang Puck. Expected more…

                  The Drunken Monkey milkshake as Holsteins is a must

                      Got back late last night.  Awesome trip.  We spent most of our time/money at the Cosmopolitan.

                      Ate at the Wicked Spoon (their buffet) for brunch, twice.  They had an interesting selection, even for brunch, and a lot of the stuff came in personal sized serving dishes.  Awesome tri tip roast as a substitute for prime rib.

                      Had snacks at Holstein's twice.  The drunken monkey that Doug recommended was good, as was the smores shake.

                      Tapas at Jaleo was our favorite meal of the trip.  Had a really good gin and tonic and some awesome sangria with dinner too.

                      Tacos at China Poblano were also great.  I had one with pickled cactus.

                      White pizza and meat lover's pizza at the secret pizza place were also fantastic, especially the white.

                      Sensing a theme here? You can't go wrong with food at the Cosmo.

                      Retrospecs was super cool, but I couldn't deal with the $500-600 price tags on the models I liked.  Maybe if I win big next time…

                      The other noteworthy place we ate was Strip Steak at Mandalay Bay.  We had a Kobe burger and a filet mignon - wow.  Duck fat fries with truffle aioli were a killer side dish too.

                      We went to see Jabbawockeez (decent, was entertaining) and Zumanity.  I think I liked Mystere better, but then again,
                      Mystere wasn't cabaret-like (obviously enjoyed that part).

                      We loved Vegas yet again and will be back.  The Cosmo may have ruined us for anywhere else.
