The wife and I, along with another couple, are heading out to Vegas for the first time this April. We%26#39;ll be there the first week of the month. To tell you the truth, after digging around the internet for suggestions of where to eat, things to do, where to stay, etc., I%26#39;m rather overwhelmed by the whole idea. Which is why I turn to you, for help.
We%26#39;re all 28-30 years old, don%26#39;t really like to gamble, like to drink and relax, the women like to shake their asses on the dance floor but the other guy and I really don%26#39;t. We%26#39;re all fans of rock music. We%26#39;d like to eat at nice places for dinner while stepping down a couple of notches for good deals when dealing with breakfasts and lunches. We%26#39;ve already reserved our rooms at NY,NY and are looking to budget between $1 and $1.2K for the trip per couple.
So, would you please recommend a possible itinerary for our trip? We could really use the help. Looking for dinner recommendations near the hotel, good bars/drink deals, sights to see (again, on the strip) being we don%26#39;t gamble, and good cheap eats for breakfasts and lunches. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Breakfast at La Salsa Cantina for $3.95 (across the rd from NY NY) near the M%26amp;M%26#39;s store;
Dinner at Paris at the Cafe next to the Buffett(cant remember its name) great food %26amp; service %26amp; very reasonable price;
As for sights: Use the Duece Bus ($5 for 24 hr pass)
Fremont St - light show; Bellagio Fountains; Paris %26amp; Eiffel Tower;
Venetian (Gondola ride %26amp; the casino itself);
We have just come back - if the girls like to shop - send them to the Primm Factory Outlets for the day %26amp; you guys go %26amp; try to see as many casinos as you can (I dont gamble, but loved looking at them)
Good coffee at Seattles Best Coffee inside the Barbary Coast.
Hope this helps :)

I second the recommendation of La Salsa Cantina - it%26#39;s a chain with multiple locations on the Strip. One of the best deals in town, good food, good drinks, an inexpensive.
is there a la salsa cantina closer to the flamingo?
check my reivew we just got back and did not gamble much but ate a lot !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the closest Cantina to Flamingo is in Desert Passage. Filling enough breakfast at $3.95 but nothing to write home about. (I know - what do you expect for $4?)
Beer - our advice is to schedule some events, but leave yourself lots of time to just stroll around and take it all in.
There are good bars/clubs right in your hotel or across the street at MGM.
Some other suggestions:
- Carnaval Court at Harrah%26#39;s
- House of Blues at Mandalay Bay
- Shadow Bar at CP
- Margaritaville rooftop patio
Heard good things about the brewpub in Monte Carlo but haven%26#39;t made it there yet. It%26#39;s on my list for our April visit.
To the best of my knowledge, there are 5 La Salsa Cantinas on the Strip, as follows:
Luxor, Showcase Mall, Desert Passage, Forum Shops, and Riviera. The closest to Flamingo would be the one in the Forum Shops at Caesar%26#39;s palace.
Since you are staying in NY NY make sure to get a meal in America. Love the big map overhead. Food is good as well.
Make sure you check out the Venetian. Lots to do there - gondola rides, shopping centre, Guggenheim, Madame Tussauds.
Vegas is totally overwhelming with so much to do, that is why we all have to keep going back. Enjoy
Thank you for the help.
Do a search on the Peppermill. The restaurant is said to have huge portions...it%26#39;s a retro restaurant...the atmosphere seems to be an attraction all by itself, not to mention good plentiful food...everyone that eats there...writes about a memorable experience. I can%26#39;t wait to try it myself.
I recommend going to Mix at THEhotel at Mandaly Bay for a nice dinner, good food, cool restaurant, and an amazing view. Do the Paris buffet at least once and if you want something closer the Bayside Buffet at Mandalay Bay is really pretty and not as crowded as most. If you like Vodka I recommend going to Red Square at Mandalay Bay and even if you don%26#39;t it%26#39;s a really cool bar to visit. A couple of good restaurants to try would be Emerils at MGM, Delmonico at Venetian, Olives at Bellagio, and Mon Ami Gabi at Paris. A fun Martini Bar with some dancing is the 13 Martinis at Hooters. A couple of bars I really like (besides Red Square) are Caramel at Bellagio (the women would probably love the Oreo Shake Martini there, it%26#39;s awesome!) Centrifuge at MGM, Shadowbar at Caesars, and Parasol Up/Down at Wynn. Definately set aside time to check out the Forum Shops Mall for gawking and the Desert Passage Mall for more realistic shopping.
