Question about Las Vegas hotels...
 
Hey, how's it going?

What's the best hotel to stay at in Vegas for decent rooms, good pool, and plenty of silicone fun-bags to stare at poolside? Any pools allow thongs?

Anyone ever stay at the Stratosphere? What's up with this place? It cost less than a night at a crack house in Harlem! Is it that bad? Any good tail at the Stratosphere?

Help. I'm serious. Please recommend a place with good eye candy.

Sounds like you'd fit right in at the Hard Rock Hotel...

OneTwoThree Mar 29th, 2004 04:36 PM

Palms.

The Hard Rock is located around a lot of strip clubs, when I was there recently there was lot's lot's lots silicone. Personally I find the clientele a little sleezy but if you're a young single what the heck! Palms gets very attractive people.

Stratosphere is at the far end of the strip (the older end), several miles from the above mentioned places.

Thanks. I've heard the Hardrock has some real filthy girls...which isn't a bad thing. I stayed at the Palms once and was rather impressed with the poolside flesh, but I'm looking to try something new.

What about the Mandalay? Hot chicks? Think it's too classy for me?

travelinwifey Mar 29th, 2004 05:12 PM

I don't see a problem as long as you act like a proper gent. But I do know MB is very strict and allows hotel guests only. They check keys and ID. Don't know about the other places.

Man are you guys slow on the uptake.
Can't you see the big red flashing lights between the lines reading "TROLL POST"?

Patrick Mar 29th, 2004 06:17 PM

Considering Tuna Taco's other posts, mainly for trips to Mexico, I'd suspect he's not a troll at all, just a horny young guy with very bad taste.

travleis Mar 29th, 2004 06:26 PM

...and don't women just get all weak in the knees around guys like that?

TunaTaco Mar 30th, 2004 02:34 PM

Troll? What does that mean in the "Message board World"? Moron just looking for a reaction?

Seriously, I was joking around with some of the terminology I used...sorry if it offended anyone.

The reality is I'm heading out to Las Vegas with about 6 guys...sort of a mini-bachelor party weekend for my friend. We would like to stay at a place with a younger, partying crowd. We have stayed at the Palms and would like to try something new.

I know the Hard Rock is a party crowd, but it's so damn expensive. Seems to be cheaper at the Mandalay. Anyone know what the guests are like, in general, at Mandalay?

Taco, I love your description of "troll" :)>-

Trisha Mar 30th, 2004 02:41 PM

Tuna Taco, I showed my husband your post because I thought he would be amused. He suggests you just go over the cat house which is legal in Nevada.
.......Wait a minute, how does he know about that...

travelinwifey Mar 30th, 2004 02:46 PM

Depends on when you're going. The hotel seems to draw a large amount of Asians certain times of the year. In general it is a youmg, hip crowd but during the summer many families stay there because of the pool. The nightlife scene is pretty good though.

rjw_lgb_ca Mar 30th, 2004 02:51 PM

TunaTaco, your definition of "troll" is spot-on accurate!

Now, for a bachelor-party kind of crowd, the Hard Rock is really ideal. It's rock-'n'-roll trashy. Not that there's anything wrong with that. The Palms, IMHO, tries way too hard to be hot and trendy, which in itself is completely lame. C'mon, you WANT the Hard Rock. How expensive are we talking...?

Mandalay Bay is on the elegant side, probably not a good fit for your group, frankly (and the women in the "topless" pool area will probably frown on drunk guys ogling the European-style sunbathing). Maybe Caesar's Palace...?

The Stratosphere is kinda a last-resort resort; if you're from the LA area and you decided at 7 PM to drive to Vegas and you arrive at 11:30 and there are no rooms to be had somewhere *good*, you end up there. Or Circus Circus (I call it "Sh*thouse Sh*thouse" myself).

For a more frat-boy view of Vegas, check out cheapovegas.com. It's pretty up-to-date on Vegas goings-on, and it's funny to boot.

With an M.O. like that, you better have the cash to back it up or you're gonna be lonely in Vegas.


TunaTaco Mar 30th, 2004 03:19 PM

Thanks for the help.

What is Caesar's like in terms of crowd and atmosphere?

Topless at the MB?? Okay, now we're talking!

P.S. Yes, a trip to the Cat House is probably on the menu too.

TunaTaco Mar 30th, 2004 03:21 PM

GoTravel,

Exactly! Which is why I'm looking to save a little extra on the Hotel. Too many other things to spend on.

GoTravel Mar 30th, 2004 03:25 PM

I'm serious Tuna. If you want to hot girls, you better be a whale. They're not looking for frat boys out to spend a couple hundred bucks. They are out for the big boys out to spend a couple hundred thousand.

Please try and not refer to us as "silicone fun-bags". It will not help your situation. Plus, it pisses us off.

beachpup Mar 30th, 2004 05:19 PM

I recall reading somewhere that Caesar's has a topless pool; but listen to GoTravel: If you are independently wealthy, incredibly lucky at gaming, willing to accept considerable debt, or a combination thereof, you can aspire to all your desires. But flashing two or three grand isn't going to do you jack with your desired clientle in Las Vegas.

TunaTaco Mar 31st, 2004 08:44 AM

GoTravel,

Trust me, I've been to Vegas and I'm not too worried about having luck out there. The "Whales" need to spend thousands of dollars because they look like Whales by the poolside.

That said, I'm no fratboy when it comes to my wallet...just my attitude. Thanks for the tips on how to bed a woman in Vegas...it's really tough out there! LOL.

What would you prefer? "Silicone Milk-Sacs"?
