villa4europe Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 The only thing I don't like is all the bloody cards people try to hand over to ya with naked women on. It's just so degrading towards those intelligent ladies to just have their picture passed out like that. yeah but the way they clap them together in their hands means you cant help but look at what they are! I didn't like how they handed them to everyone, me yeah maybe I can understand, but as im walking down the road with the missus, and 1 to her too? and to the 80 year old looking woman in front of me, and at least on 1 occasion a kid (which I remember well cos their mom went **** mental) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) Both Wet republic and rehab are spot on, also the encore beach club. As for clubs: Hakkasan Any of the wynn (XS, Surrender etc..) Marquee (supposed to be the best) Tao The ghost bar while not a culb is in the rio and looks out from the 50th floor or something and is worth it for the view. If you want local stuff the country bar Stoneys is quality, got a mechanical bull, line dancing, beer pong etc.. Also in the same complex is blue martini which was full of talent when i popped in. Good tips Dom We did XS, Marquee and Wet Rep. We did Pure on Thursday and Dreis which were both decent. On Friday we did Marquee & XS on Saturday for Avicii. Both were amazing and had outdoor areas where the English accent was being laid on thick - some chicks are not fussed by it, but others really, really love it By Sunday night, we were absolutely broken. Three nights of hardcore boozing had finished us. We had guest list for Hakkasan on Sunday, but didn't make it there. We did Wet Republic on Sunday afternoon which was something else! It's like they'd brought in buses full of models and let them loose around the pool area. It's awesome how you can take your drink elsewhere; and I love the option of tipping a waitress in a casino so she keeps bringing you free drinks. It's been decided that it's going to be an annual trip. I just can't wait for the next one.

Xela Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Definitely got some interest in this for next year as a lads holiday (cheers for the PM Craig - helped convince me) To the people who have been to both LV and New Orleans - how do they compare to each other, purely for going out and having a good laugh in the evenings. Or can't they be compared? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I've been to both Could have been the time of year but Bourbon street was rammed with people , lots of them on the young side , when I say young I mean in their 20's (i'm an old git of 43) .... Bars galore and people walking up and down the streets drinking and having fun Seemed to be more live bands in the bars in NO than Vegas .. there is a casino in NO but it lacks the atmosphere of Vegas , the eat all you can buffet must be good as they were queuing around the block when we went by (think it was steak night ) We travelled down on the train from Memphis and sat in the Buffet car drinking beer , the Americans were all chatty , sharing drink with us and asking us about Australia ... Once we got to NO and the Bourbon street area it wasn't so friendly , not unfriendly but nobody bothered to talk to us , people are in groups of friends and kinda stay that way Vegas is bigger and more chilled and an older generation , less baseball caps back to front on the head and less testosterone in the air .. and walk around Freemont street and people will say Hi , and have a drink with you ... I've got snaps of random strangers on my phone standing next to me as we both raise nuclear Kamikaze's in the air , that sort of thing Don't get me wrong I loved them both but Vegas wins it for me though if you were talking sightseeing and the like then New Orleans would win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Vegas is bigger and more chilled and an older generation..... though if you were talking sightseeing and the like then New Orleans would win Obviously Tony went to all the old fart places in Vegas hence his 'chilled' and 'older generation' comments Go to some of those places mentioned by Dom and it certainly won't be chilled or an older generation There are things to sightsee in Vegas (sort of), but you'll probably be seeing those things whilst bumbling up and down the strip whilst under the influence of sh*t loads of booze!

Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 It depends what you do as an alternative though, I guess. I'm gutted I didn't go, but I went to some of the top club nights instead. One of my work colleagues went and he just ate in a few nice restaurants, saw a show or two, watched some NFL in a sports bar, and went to a few casinos. I can't see why he didn't head to Freemont St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
