Mandalay Bay has a Russian restaurant/bar. it is a vodka bar with a big block of ice in the bar to keep your drinks on. It is like 12 bucks for a good vodka, but get it on the rocks and after one, you are good to go and they had the best calamari.
It was a 6oz vodka. That why I got it on the rocks. I am no lightweight, but not up to the standards in my college days. One got me going, if I had anotehr, I would have had to crawl to MGM.
Scrimp on the alcohol expenses. They give it away for free there.
Splurge on the limo. It's worth it.
Don't use the slot machines at the airport. It's a scam.
DO NOT AGREE TO "TOUR" THE TIMESHARE PROPERTIES!!! They too are a scam, regardless of the tickets or prizes that they offer you.
Turn your internal clock upside-down about a week before you go. You should sleep from 6am-Noon and party the rest of the time.
Treat the experience like you are in a dream world. If it turns out to be a nightmare (like my Vegas weekend was), you can just forget that the whole trip ever happened.
