10 crazy things to do in Las Vegas

Rick — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 01:57:47 +0000

There are way more than 10 crazy things to do in Las Vegas but I thought this would be a good start for you. If you have a few you would like to add, put them in the comments for all of us to see!

If you are looking for a few more wild things to do check out this older post: More Wild things to do in Vegas

Pet a Shark

Mandalay Bay has this crazy large aquarium that has sharks in it. Although the chances are you won’t be able to pet the bamboo shark, this attraction is still worth the trip. There is no other place in the USA that you can see a hammerhead shark in captivity.

Get a Sexy Caddie

There are a lot of golf courses in Las Vegas, but this one will be really memorable! The Rio Secco Golf Club introduces the T-Mate program for those who want to be carted around by a sexy lady when playing golf. Sorry ladies, this one is for the guys.

Dinner in the sky

After dissing the wife, or girlfriend with the Sexy Caddie, you will need to do something really special for dinner. Why not take her out to a dinner she will never forget.

Dinner in the Sky is a two-hour experience that starts with a small reception with hors d’oeuvres and cocktails at a posh lounge. After some small talk, up to 22 guests are seated at a rectangular table, strapped down to chairs that look like racing car seats, and taken 180 feet high up in the air by a giant crane.

Neon Museum

What is Las Vegas without Neon signs and what’s Me On Neon without at least one mention of the Las Vegas lights. This outdoor museum, that you will find adjacent to the Fremont experience, is the home of some of Las Vegas’ oldest and most recognizable Neon signs.

The Stratosphere Rides

Ok, not for the faint of heart! First, you have the Stratosphere, a tower that is already 981 feet in the air, then they put some insane rides at the TOP and on the outside. Check out the Big Shot. I heard that the coaster is going bye bye, so you are probably out of luck for that one, but the others are still worth it.

Get Married

Ok, this may not only apply to crazy things to do in Vegas! Just kidding, love you babe.
Anyways if you are adventurous and you want to tie the knot, Las Vegas is the place to do it. Here are some ideas to get your gears turning.

Adventuredome

The Adventuredome at Circus Circus is a ride lovers extravaganza. Housed beneath a five-and-a-half-acre glass encasement, this little gem offers rides galore. Great family fun.

Cloud Nine Balloon Experience

If you are into heights and sight seeing this will be a ride for you. The Cloud Nine Balloon Experience is the world’s largest, land-tethered helium balloon ride. Its custom-built gondola holds 25-30 passengers, offering guests the chance to fly 500 feet above the Strip.

Gamble

Seriously, let loose a little. I am not saying bet your house on black ( if you win, remember who told you;)). But Las Vegas is about doing the stuff you can’t do in your day to day life. Whether it be gambling a little or drinking too much, or buying a new pair of shoes. Just let loose a little.

Donnie and Marie and other Flamingo Entertainment

Rick — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 23:10:55 +0000

I have been asked recently if Donnie and Marie Osmond are still playing in Las Vegas. It really is amazing that the duo has found such success in Las Vegas and they have the hit show Dancing with the Stars to thank for it.
They are among a great line up that plays as the Flamingo Las Vegas
Check room rates at the Flamingo

Donny and Marie

It takes place at The Flamingo Showroom and tickets cost between $90 and $255 (plus taxes and fees). The 90 minutes extravaganza showcases Donny and Marie’s greatest hits. Their mix of country and rock’n’roll took the country by storm with their debut in 1976. After a period when each went solo, they reunited in 1998.

George Wallace

The show takes place at The Flamingo Showroom and tickets cost $39.95 (plus taxes and fees). Dark days are Sundays and Mondays. The comedian is very popular and his humor is simple, deriving from everyday moments of life.

Vinnie Favorito

It takes place at Bugsys Cabaret and tickets cost $39.95 and $49.95 (plus taxes and fees). He is an Italian from Boston and is one of the popular comedians in the States. He doesn’t have a set routine and the audience always provides material for his show.

X Burlesque

It takes place at Bugsys Cabaret and tickets cost $44.95 and $55.95 (plus taxes and fees). It is the steamiest show on the Strip. It features a variety of performances by six gorgeous dancers. The show takes 90 minutes and during this time the burlesque beauties bare their assets all while teasing, seducing and playfully interacting with the audience. Guests must be 18 or older with proper ID.

John Edward

It takes place at The Flamingo Showroom and the tickets start at $100 (plus taxes and fees). The first show will take place on January 16, 2010. The author, lecturer and psychic medium will appear for a limited time at Flamingo Las Vegas.

Nathan Burton

It takes place at The Flamingo Showroom and the tickets cost $34.00 and $44.00 (plus taxes and fees). He blends the comedy and magic in a unique show. The 60-minutes show comprises magical illusions blended with comedy and showgirls.

Mystere revisited

Rick — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 22:19:14 +0000

I have been thinking about heading to Las Vegas again so……..

I thought it would be a good idea to see another show, I headed to youtube to get some ideas and I came across this video.

MYSTERE ?Cirque du Soleil

I forgot how much I loved this show and I haven’t seen it for a few years now. I guess I better see if I can get tickets.

40 YEARS OF Elton John

Treena — Tue, 27 May 2008 17:01:58 +0000

Elton John is made of pure magic, and he is bringing that magic and charm to Caesar’s Palace for 22 shows starting on June 3^rd. The 60 yr old artist’s venue is a must see on my list, as he is my favorite singer of all time, justifiably so I might add. I challenge anyone to NOT know at least one of his songs/ hits. Over 4 decades of amazing music and lyrics will be performed in one of the world’s most legendary hotels and casinos, in a city that begs for and provides greatness. This is one concert that must not be missed for all of those lucky enough to be in Sin city from the 3^rd of June until the 22^nd.
