Members Ryan. Posted July 20, 2011 Members Share Posted July 20, 2011 Truthfully, my last trip to vegas was the best I've ever had. All through college I had done the typical Vegas trip... get {censored}ed up at night and sleep through the day. Head out to some over priced club where the girls would get us in for a great deal... ($20 a head) and then we'd pay $12 for every red bull vodka we had. So basically we poured money down the drain.My last trip to Vegas was: Golf, Love, awesome dinner, and some gambling. Best time I'd ever had. No overpriced drinks. No {censored}ty clubs full of douchebags. Just fun with my friends. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members CodeMonk Posted July 20, 2011 Members Share Posted July 20, 2011 am I mistaken or isn't reno only about a 4 hour trip from the strip? It is if you go 150mph The problem with that drive is that its flooded with speed traps. I found that out the hard way. Never get a red rental car. I lived in Reno and surrounding areas for about 20 years. Went to Vegas 4 times during that time. Just double checked. According to Mapquest : 7 hrs 13 mins / 448.45 miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members genesis3 Posted July 20, 2011 Members Share Posted July 20, 2011 They have a Sam Ash store..a bit of everthing kinda like GC...The Pawn Stars store was a letdown kinda, if you're there on a weekend you ain't gonna see no stars lol...walking the strip is a trip at night, stop at Sammy Hagars catina for a giant frozen margarita. They had a smokin' chick band playing live too, outdoor seating facing the strip, cool..btw, the drive from Vegas to Reno is so desolate of a drive, literally nothing but 1 or 2 very small towns on the way and the terrain could double for Mars or the Moon. I kid you not. ...There were some cool things about the drive though , one was knowing you were at one point very near the vicinity of the nuke tests in the 50's and area 51, and this really giant , desolate lake , with pretty much NO vegetation at all around the entire thing, that I later found out was the military's submarine training waters, and a huge military munitions site that stretched for miles with these odd little bunkers and rail tracks to each one...edit - if you find yourself downtown , the Golden Nugget buffet is good eats for not too much $$...every course has it's own chef. ..Muy Bueno, at least for downtown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rezrover Posted July 20, 2011 Members Share Posted July 20, 2011 Check out the Pawn Stars store, We did that and I haven't watched the show since. Had more fun on Fremont Street than the Strip. Did the zip line ride, drank $2 beers instead of $8-$10 beers on the strip, tons of people in costume down there.
