What NOT to do in Vegas (Faina’s list)

Everybody is asking what to do in Vegas, but I’ve decided to come up with a list of things NOT to do in Vegas.

1. No swimming in Venetian channels

2. No parachuting from the Eiffel tower

3. No duck (flamingo, penguins) hunting in the Flamingo's arboretum!

4. No gambling in Bellagio's fountains.

5. No trying to get onto Rio floats for free.

6. Don't even think of competing with the Circus or Cirque performers!

7. Don’t sing along with any Elvises.

8. Don’t try to drive off in any of Wynn’s cars.

9. Don’t fight the knights at Excalibur.

10. You don’t need to put your ticket through the ticket machine to get out of the monorail, this is not BART!!

11. Deuce is not a bad word nor a gambling device. It’s the name of the strip bus. Doesn’t matter how many cocktails or martinis you had, it’s still the name of the strip bus.

And please remember: you can talk to Madame Tussaud's tenants, but don't expect an answer from them!

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas (but sometimes reappears nine months later)

Don't try to buy a round for the entire blackjack table. The drinks are already free.

Don't split 10s.

Don't drive on the strip if you want to go somewhere.

OK, I'm game:

Don't stiff the dealers or CW's
Please do not act like you are 23 when you are over 43.
If you are 23 and female and dress provocitively, don't be suprised if you get propositioned for $$.
Don't gawk.
Please do not bang on the glass at the aquarium in Mandalay Bay.
Don't expect that your children will be well behaved and welcome in the wee hours.
Do not expect to win.

For women: don't wear anything but 4 inch Jimmy Choo's on the strip and always carry the largest, heaviest and bulkiest purse you can find

Oh Faina, I'm going to do # 7 when I'm there next month. And # 11: I look forward to going on the "strip bus". ;-)

Oh my god, faina. The texas one is just hilarious! I have to show some friends that! And here I thought this thread was funny - the texas one is funnier (mostly because I live here)!

Thanks for the post(s)!

Don't forget to carry ID in the casinos, even if you look 40 - they'll card you.

Going through this list, I'm relieved I can still:

run after lions at the MGM

pose with the statues at Caesars Palace...

Don't try and get on the volcano water slide at Margaritaville, even if they have left the ladder for it out.

Don't offer the "Strippers Direct to Your Door" guy less than $20 for his shirt- he won't take it.

Don't drool on the upholstery of the cars at the Wynn.

Don't put your elbow through any of the artwork at the Wynn, either.
