Las Vegas

GuidoHunter · 05-24-2004, 07:50 PM

Hey, Imma take a trip to Las Vegas this Wednesday for six days. I used to go quite often about ten years ago, so I know of some things to do (Merlin's sweetass Magic Motion Machine in the Excalibur), and some new things to sightsee.

My question to those in the know about the Las Vegas Area: Is there much for a nineteen year old to do there? If y'all know of any awesome arcades, I'm all up for those, but I really don't know of much. I'd rather not spend most of the trip in my condo for lack of entertainment, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Treasure Islands Arcade has been taken away.

Circus Circus's Adventuredome has a good arcade and a few rides. Gameworks is also very good. Located on the strip next to the MnM factory.

There are good places, I just dont know of them.

GuidoHunter · 05-24-2004, 08:37 PM

Okay, it looks like I'm going to have to revise my question...

BARRING PROSTITUTES, what is there for me to do in Vegas? Laharl, I hope you can give me something.

I have a question about las vegas, since i'll be going there too this summer. They don't have one of those minimum age policies at their arcades to they? OMG, because i'm only 13, and when I went to hong kong, you had to be 15 or older to get into good arcades. I snook in though, nobody noticed

I was at Las Vegas 2 years ago. New York New York casino is the place for you. They have an awesome arcade with a decent DDR scene. Unfortunately this was before I was into DDR.

Make sure you ride the Manhattan Express roller coaster, but ride it at night. It goes around the casino, and there's a wicked cool loop where you can see the Luxor from upside down. It's really cool seeing the beam shoot down instead of shooting up.

Also, Caesar's Palace is a nice place for general wandering. It's really huge. Also check out the Aladdin, there were some street performers in it when I was there.

If you want some great eats, go to Olives at the Bellagio. It's moderately priced and delicious. Get a table out on the patio and watch the fountain show as you dine.

I also recommend the Star Trek Experience at the Hilton, but that's just because I'm a Trekkie.

Ceaser's Has a nice, but small arcade. All you really need though is DDR (Max2 and 5th), and Dancemania. And there is a Borders or something near by.

Also, there is no minimum age because the arcade is where parents ditch their kids while they go bet away the child's college fund on Poker.

If you've got cash to spend, I'd highly recommend seeing the Blue Man Group live. It's one of those experiences you will remember for the rest of your life as being damn good fun.

As for good arcades, I'm told there is a good one that contains among other units Guilty Gear X2. I will have to double check the location on that for you, because I have yet to go there. My friends and former coworkers at GameStop told me about it, and I just never got around to going there. Hell, if you wanted, I could meet you down there while you're in town and kick your ass hardcore style at GGX2. I am masterful at that game.

I have no life, so as for fun thing to do that don't cost you an arm and a leg, I'm at a loss.

GuidoHunter · 05-25-2004, 11:46 AM

Thanks for all the tips, y'all.

@ Laharl: I see you're into the fighting games, what with your av and the GGX2 business. A good fighting game scene is what I'm really looking for. I've never played GGX2, but I'm an avid Tekken fan (I own everyone around here in TTT) and play Marvel vs. Capcom 2 decently well. Oh, and my Roberto > all at Project Justice =).

Having DDR is cool, too, though... But Borders has machines? I thought they were a bookstore (I've never been to a borders).

Blah. Looks like the arcade I was thinking of got closed down. The only good one left in town is GameWorks, a really big arcade place in the Strip (I'm not sure of the exact location, but meh! Ask someone downtown and they'll likely know). $20 for 2 hours of unlimited play, if memory serves me right. I haven't been in ages so I don't know what machines they got there. I assume they've probably got every DDR machine known to man, and hopefully a few good fighting games and Time Crisis 3.

I <3 Time Crisis 3.

**Squeek** · 05-25-2004, 02:49 PM

I heard someone earlier ask of a legal gambling age. I'm pretty sure it's 21 in the US. I may be wrong and it may be 18, but I doubt it.

You definitely want to see the Bellagio fountains at night, and have a wonderful lunch / dinner within the casino. Bellagio has about 1000 different things to eat, all delicious. Enjoy waiting an hour or two to get in.

I never saw any arcades when I was there, but then again, I was there for a whole two days. The security guard made me wait in the gift shop while my mom was at a slot machine. Don't worry, she knew moderation. Still, I was like 16 when I went. "I think I know a thing or two about rigged machines, sir" ...cough...

Edit - Oh, the question was about arcades, not casinos. Well, I'm sure there is no age restriction as it is still America... it just doesn't FEEL like it.

I went to Las Vegas not so long ago. Cool place, but it was too bad I was sick.

Gameworks sucks. It is way the hell too expensive. The only bemani/dancing game they have is DDREX, at $1.75 a game. I recommend going to the second floor of the adventuredome. Two(2) DDREX machines, DDR Disney Mix, DDR 5th Mix(i think it is 5th...whatever), Para Para Paradise, Beatmania 5th Mix (pretty sure. it isn't IIDX) and Dance Maniax (the one like PPP except only 4 sensors). That along with a nice selection of other games, will provide you with hours of fun. There is also a bootleg DDR on the first floor. Steer clear of it.

I'm going to Las Vegas for memorial day weekend and i'm hoping to get a bunch of time in on the PPP machine. Oh hell yes...PPP is the best. Don't hate.

Laharl · 05-25-2004, 07:56 PM

Legal gambling age is 21.

AND FOR THE RECORD, PROSTITUTION IS NOT LEGAL IN LAS VEGAS. There are parts of Nevada where it is, but not in Clark County. You'd have to go out to Nye or something, where there is quite literally nothing except for the Bunny Ranch.

banditcom · 05-25-2004, 08:20 PM

$1000? LOL... sorry.. had to laugh at that.

It actually depends on act and by where you go. At Sherry's Ranch, you get a lineup of women. They introduce themselves, you pick one out, and sit in a room and talk with her. You tell her what you want, she checks you for STD's, you pay, and then you do what you told her (and not more). And careful, you only get one "go", if you know what I mean. It all depends on the women, but the minimum is $100. So if you ask for just one act, it'll probably be $100. The more acts you do, the prettier the woman, the uglier you are, etc. all determines the price.

I know this because on IGN I go to this board called the Sex, Health and Dating board (great community.. great entertainment) and a guy posted about his experience there a few days ago.

EDIT: Legal gambling = 18... trust me. There might be some places where you have to be 21 though (bars, certain strip clubs).
