Headed to Vegas in an hour
First time ever. My only question is: Hooker or no hooker?

Why no hooker? Do you think I've got the "skillz" to get laid for free? Had a bad experience? Too expensive!?!? TELL ME WHYYYY!

The hooker is a better value than the strip clubs. I'd stay away from any of those places.

Hooker trading cards? Really? Man I'm getting more excited every second. I've been reading through the old Vegas threads on here. Wynn buffet..Paris breakfast buffet..
What do I not do at the tables so I don't look like the n00b that I am?

I think that the Harrah's properties just introduced a $35/day eating pass that covers all of the buffets at the various properties they have on the Strip.
Yeah, here's the link: http://www.inlandsocal.com/iguide/di...2.20c7763.html

In case you're wondering WTF, here's someone who posted a few samples on flicker. las vegas hooker trading cards! on Flickr - Photo Sharing! Basically the call girls pay homeless/unemployed dudes to stand on street corners & hand out their "business" cards. I don't know what it's like now but a few years ago those things were all over the place, stuck on every lampost, newspaper box, trash can lids, you name something outdoors & there was a hooker card within your line of sight.

btw I started learning how to play craps. Anyone got any craps tips? I know it's bad etiquette to bet don't pass, but anything else would be greatly appreciated.

Those guys are always integral in my good time, once I'm completely wasted. A friend and I spent hours collecting cards, and then stealthily "redistributing" them into old folks' bags, and such. All class.

Read up on "the 5 count". The basic premise is to not place any more bets until the roller throws 5 times without busting. But there is a lot more to it than that. The idea behind it is to extend your play so you can hopefully catch a heater.

Naw, hooker's a second or third trip to Vegas perk. For now, just enjoy the basics.

Fortunately, there are hookers just outside of the county limits. There are also hookers who come to your room. Or so I heard.

I was just in Vegas last month. I'd recommend the buffet at the Bellagio. One thing to do is to go in around 3:30 PM so you can get in on the lunch rate. They change everything over to dinner at 4 PM but you can just stay and dine on the lunch rate since you were already inside. It's awesome. The food is just incredible.

These guys were on every street corner on the strip when I was there last month. The annoying thing is they snap the cards at you even though they watched you walk past five or six other guys with cards in the last 10 feet. "If I didn't take a card from any of those guys right there, why would you think I'd take one from you?"

I wonder how many cards would be needed to make a complete set.

I was just in Vegas last week, those 'snappers' seem limited to a few blocks of the strip, but in that space they are literally everywhere! And I was quite impressed with how they manage to make a move towards every single person passing them, no matter which direction and how many people were walking by. They had spin moves, double-snaps, all sorts of stuff.

They also seem to have no problem handing one to you even though you are walking with your wife/girlfriend/so. My hand slowly starts gravitating towards the card, but then I return to my senses and keep walking... |

A buddy of mine* said that this strategy worked for him:
Find, if possible, a large bachelorette party. Engage them enough to see if they are staying in the hotel. Don't try and pick one of them up then--the mother hen (self-appointed chaperone who makes it her job to protect the other girls from a guy like you) will shoot you down. Gamble, play in the sports book, drink, etc. until the party goes upstairs to bed. Then, a few of them will come back down. Move in aggressively b/c these girls are ready for action and just had to ditch the mother hen. I have no idea if this really works, but it was reported to have worked like a charm once--even if the guy didn't realize the dynamic at play until afterwards. *I really do mean a buddy. I have never had skill picking up bar chicks and would have managed to fail even faced with a drunk girl feeling desperate because her friend was getting married and who came down to the bar specifically to look for action. Hell, I probably would have stood a decent chance of failing with a pocket full of hooker trading cards. |

A couple of years back I was in town for the HP convention. I was hanging out with some of the HP bigwigs that I knew from their Compaq days. One of the execs was cornered by a hooker, and they talked for about 30 minutes. We could tell she was really trying to get him to seal the deal. At the end she shouted "You jerk!" and left.
He came over and gave us the recap. What got her so pissed off was she finally asked him what it would take for him to bring her back to his room. He told her, "I'm HP's purchasing manager for the Americas. See those guys over there? What kind of bulk purchase discount would you give for all of us?"

I believe they are called Escorts, not hookers. And yes, get one, but only after you've failed lining up a "real" whore.

Hell, the first time I went to Vegas, I was with my wife and her aunt, and I took all the "escort" cards I could find. I came home with a huge stack of these cards. Sure, my wife and her aunt rolled their eyes, but it's not like I was goin to call the escorts and invite them to the room that the three of us were sharing. I had my hands full anyway.
So to speak.

Ok...in the middle of night two. My friends are all at dinner and I'm at an internet cafe next to the Polo Towers. I'm doing this because it feels like gonzo journalism, except much stupider.
Ok, so night one we go to MGM Grand, New York New York, and The Luxor. I play $10 blackjack exclusively, because I'm not very smart, and wind up going back and forth, losing about $15 when all was said and done. Then, my BFF Glenn woke up me up at like 6, and we went back to New York New York for more blackjack, and I lost about $60. He won like $15 Then, tonight, after me walking around the stupid strip like an idiot all day and swimming in my hotel pool for a bit, I went to Planet Hollywood by myself while everyone else went to the Mirage. The only reason I can give you is that I'm a loner, Dottie....a rebel. So I bought a shot of Goldschlager (shut up) and a pint of Blue Moon (again, shut up), and hit the roulette wheel. I spread my $10 around a few squares, and put one on 29. It hit 29. Sweet! Some crusty old gambler told me to keep my chips where they were. I thought he just wanted to see me lose my money so he wouldn't feel as bad going back to his empty bed. So it turns out, I won again on corner bets! I am a gambling genius! So, I call my BFF and tell him "Guess what, fuckface? I just won $240 dollars! How do you like me now, you scrub ass BIIIITCH!?!?!?" His response: "I just won $750 playing blackjack" Whatever, you mealymouthed braggart. More to come if I have $5 left to spend on internet cafe time tomorrow.

Here's the thing about Vegas, and why I consider it the greatest city on the planet bar none: nothing requires explanation, nothing requires excuses, you do what you want to do & to hell with whether anyone else understands it or likes it. If that's drinking oddball liquors, if it's playing penny slots, if it's people watching in the tacky gift shops, whatever makes you happy pretty much works.

You can get an hour of hottie hooker time for $240.
Or so I've heard.

Why's that? Other than the fact that transportation from university to Strip can take a bit from what I understand.

In August, I'm heading out to Vegas after spending a few days in Ocean City. What are the best pools for, umm, scenery and shade and drinks? Also, I've seen so many clubs and nightclubs come and go, I don't know what's cool any more. What are the best clubs for rock (if any)? House of Blues still good?
