Last time I was at Vegas I hit up Tao and Macquee, but I’m kinda Vegas’ed out. I wanna hit some really degenerate casinos, like that one that Anna Nichole Smith died in or some river boats.
This adequately sums up Vegas vs. SF (IMO)
^ JMH, you probably want Macau or Thailand
Is haiku the plural form of haiku? TIL…
Thailand perhaps, I feel like if I go to Macau I won’t come back.
I heard the pool parties in Vegas are insane.
If you haven’t been to one, then you haven’t lived. I highly recommend going to Rehab at the Hard Rock.
How much should I expect to pay?
$70 cover at peak times. I haven’t been to Rehab but I’ve heard great things.
Love the Vegas, hate the pool parties. It’s like watching the Jersey Shore, but you’re in the same water as them…getting thier oily germs all over you.
Will stay at Aria for 4 days. Thanks again guys. Yeah, the place looks amazing and is not that expensive…
Any bar/club/stripclub/restaurant/etc I need to check out?
Thanks!
Read my previous post for bars & clubs. As far as XS (see previous post) try to line up bottle service several days in advance to make it easier to get in or show up early on a Saturday. It’s definitely the best party in town on a Saturday night. For strip club, check out Spearmint Rhino. Also, confirm dress code in advance for Tao (requires collars I think, even if you have a jacket on over a tshirt, they’ll make you go get a collared shirt) and avoid white shoes.
The best clubbing night I’ve had in my life was a Friday night at Tao when I went back in June. I went to XS the next day and I expected more based on reviews similar to yours and I can say that I didn’t have fun. Bottle service and all. Oh well. Maybe i’ll try again in September. I might have to go with Marquee or The Bank this time around.
^ What made it the best clubbing night of your life? You banged a pornstar?
Combine college friends who I hadn’t seen in years with post-studying mentality with Tao nightclub and the corresponding HCBs. As far as I knew, she wasn’t a pornstar.
You serious? Who would you rather check with than a bunch of young finance people? Most other professions don’t party nearly as hard and I’m not going to trip advisor to hear people that complain about $50 buffets tell me where to stay.
I know the whole what happens in Vegas yadda yadda yadda, but I would be extremely cautious if you head down to the hip hip room in Marquee. It appears to be a gay cruising spot, as I was hit by at least 3 dudes within 2 minutes of being down there.
Pics?
Black swan - Thanks much, I will check out the places you recommended.
1BigStudMuffin - so you want us to keep talking about how passing CFA level I will help an IT guy into a FO gig in GS? 
the pool parties in vegas start in May and finish in September?
