Guys, thanks so much!!! All your suggestions will be a huge help. It's so much easier when you have a few good ideas, and some nice restaurants lined up.

I'm really starting to get excited. Can't wait to go.

Hoist a margarita (or two or three) for me!

I will. We will be drinking them in your honor.

When I was there in December, I saw the Producers, Phantom, and Menopause the Musical. Got discount tickets for all of them at the half-price booth.

Menopause audience is mostly female, DH may not enjoy. It is at the Hilton (off strip). We took a cab and afterwards had dinner at the Benihana's there. We are still talking about how good the Filet Mignon and fried rice was.

Also good food and fun is the Hofbrauhaus. Very much like the original in Munich with lots of tall beer and a good oom-paw-paw band in the evenings.

Wow, that's encouraging.

No problem, DH isn't going. It's a girl's trip.

Thanks for the info!

Angela,
Why didn't you say it was a "girls night out" vacation earlier? I would have told you about the Chippendale's show at the Rio. They have their own lounge for before and after the show. There's also a show called American Storm at Polly Esther's inside Stratosphere. I've never been to that show, but the pictures are impressive!

The Bette Midler tickets are ranging from $127 to $650. I'm afraid I'd get a nose bleed from the cheaper tickets. Not sure what to do.

I love Bette Midler, but I wouldn't pay $650 to see her unless it was 20 years ago and came with a lap dance at intermission (what happens in Vegas...)

Yes, they most certainly are! Big thanks!

Yeah, not willing to pay that price either. Just trying to figure out what to do. We might just get the cheaper seats, and hope for the best.

BTW, not sure even a lap dance twenty years ago, would warrant paying $650 a ticket. She's just not that good looking....Then again, it is Bette.
