Las Vegas - recommendations

looks like my gf is taking me for my birthday to see The Beatles - Love, and wondering about good shit like record stores, strip clubs, dj rooms or non-tourist stuff i should check out?

OK you HAVE to go to New York Pizza & Pasta run by this NY family. get the basic NY thin crust. so good. couple miles off the strip. pulled up and saw this old Italian lady having a smoke out front; knew this was the place to be. it's in this little crap strip mall. totally non-tourist.

Best record store is Zia Records. there's two of them but this is the big one.

i went to vegas over christmas. it blew my mind. here's what you should do:

1) get a limo to spearmint rhino - if you talk to the valet guys in your hotel lobby, they'll sort you one out for free. it's $50 each to get in but the girls are stunning. $20 a dance, and it goes up significantly if you go to the back room...

2) get hold of a guy called chris lambkin, he's the guest list guy for the club in the bellagio (the bank). he hangs around the bar at caesar's palace, drinking jamesons. he'll get you in for free. his number is 949-300-0266. the club is great, i managed to get off with some girl in there. if you try to go there without getting guest list/vip first, it'll be rather expensive - bottles of bud cost $10 alone...

3) get hold of a guy called zeus (i shit you not - he's a short asian bloke), he does the guest list for the club in planet hollywood (privé). again, free entry, vip, etc. i don't have his number to hand, but he wanders around the floor of planet hollywood a lot.

4) do the rollercoaster on the outside of new york new york, while arseholed.

5) play craps at a casino called o'sheas. it's a small one on the strip, beers are dirt cheap, lots of hot girls and the craps dealers are legends. we made a killing there.

there's loads more but those are pretty much essentials.

The buffet at the Rio. mmmmmmmmmmmmm.
