Classy, fun Vegas for four single girls
 
My 3 friends and I are going to Vegas and staying at the Bellagio. It is all of our first times! We are looking to go out every night, whether it be drinks, club, loungy bar or great restaurant. We are seeking fun recommendations of where we should go that will not be overly cheesy, but lots of fun. Also we would love restaurant recommendations.

Party and eat at Bellagio. It has the best of everything.

Although I can't recall the name of it at the moment, I really like the bar/club on the top of RIO. It has an incredible view of the strip all lit up at night with an outside patio. They also have live bands. I was just in Vegas again in February and enjoyed dancing in one of the bars in Mandalay Bay - I think it was called Rum Jungle.<BR><BR>Theresa<BR>

The bar at the top of the Rio is the Voodoo Lounge. Excellent place!<BR><BR>Rum Jungle and Red Square @ Mandalay Bay are also very good.

Olive's in the Bellagio is great, has a fun bar scene, cool bartenders, etc. Border Grill in Mandalay Bay is also a great space to eat and drink.

Ra @ Luxor and I forget the name of the club at Hard Rock. Mandalay bay is classy check the joint out. It depends on your ages also. Just 'cause your are single does mean young. For all I know you may be 3 single gals in your 70's.

the voodoo is always mentioned as a great place to go. i like gambling at the mgm cause they sometimes had bands playing in the lobby. i think there is a house of blues in vegas too.

House of Blues is in Mandalay Bay.

Bellagio has the best restaurants so stay there to eat. They also have a lounge called The Fontana Bar which is very nice.

Paris-Bar at the casino had a great Santana type band great for sit down drinks.<BR><BR>Mandalay-Definite Rum Jungle. Bar is made of ice<BR><BR>Luxor- Ra ok Techno & young crowd<BR><BR>Rio- Voodoo Lounge worth the view great dancing. I believe there is a free shuttle from Harrahs to Rio(same owners)<BR><BR>Paris cafe was a great lunch spot <BR><BR>

Thanks! By the way, we are in our late 20's.

We're your age range, and we loved Storm at Mandalay Bay and O at Bellagio. Both are breathtaking. Get tickets early. Enjoy your trip.

Check out Caesar's Palace next door, the "Forum Shops" inside is a great place to browse and people-watch. Excellent restaurants here including Bertolini's open-air Italian, Spago, the Stage Deli (great for breakfast) and the fabulous Cheesecake Factory (if there's not a C-Factory where you live, this place is a MUST. Share some appetizers and a couple of (huge) entrees and SAVE ROOM FOR CHEESECAKE! <BR><BR>At the Venetian, the Warner Brothers Restaurant is fun and the view from the bar upstairs is nice, have a drink there. The Grand Luxe Cafe here is another good place to dine. <BR><BR>You might enjoy the "Dueling Pianos Lounge" at NYNY, and the Brew Pub at the Monte Carlo. Both are an easy hike from the Bellagio because there is a monorail.

Ignore mare's suggestion of the Cheesecake Factory unless you enjoy huge platters of very mediocre food.

Topping for Sally-Kate

Tom Jul 29th, 2002 09:16 AM

Henly,<BR><BR>Take Jeffrey's advice and avoid the Cheesecake Factory at all costs. If you could look up the phrase "epitome of mediocrity" there would be a picture of the Cheesecake Factory. <BR><BR>And, by the way, their "cheesecake" is among the worst I have ever tasted.<BR><BR>Tom

Go to the Voodoo Lounge at the Rio. Fabulous place with the best view of Vegas in town.

tom Jul 29th, 2002 09:53 AM

Mickey - I think you're confusing two bars at the Mandalay Bay. Rum Jungle doesn't have a bar made of ice - it's Red Square that does. Both are in the Mandalay Bay and both are pretty cool.

Why in the world would a woman in her late 20s refer to herself and her friends as "girls"?
