Are
you coming to Las Vegas for some weekend fun? Are you too lazy to plan your own
weekend?! You’re high maintenance, but that’s OK; we all have to be good at
something! ;) Fret no more, I’ve got you covered. I’ll tell you how and where
to spend your money (that’s what I’m good at)! There are plenty of things to do in Las Vegas!
It’s
Friday, you wake up, and the sun is peeping through the blackout drapes in your
hotel room. You THINK about getting out of bed, but you’re SOOOO comfortable wrapped
in those 1500 thread count sheets, burrowed in the soft down comforter, atop the
luxury pillow top mattress, that you merely roll over and cover your head. No
problem. It happens. When you finally manage to drag yourself out of bed, start
your day out right and head to a buffet to fill your belly.
Bacchanal
Buffet
Bachanal
Buffet, at Caesar's, is fairly new to Las Vegas, just coming to us at the end of
this last year. In Vegas, we go big or go home! Bachanal isn’t your ordinary “feeding
mill” style buffet. You’ve got to try this place. The décor is modern and sleek,
and the atmosphere is more “restauranty” than “buffetish”. There’s plenty of
food choices (over 500 items) to tame even the most wild foodie beast; dishes
from around the globe are prepared by highly capable chefs and many of the
dishes are prepared to order in front of your very eyes. The pricing is
reasonable at $25-$50, depending on the day and meal.
Gamble
What are some other things to do in Las Vegas after your belly is filled with delicious goodies and, hopefully, several mimosas? You might as well get the gambling out of your system! You’re itching to sit at a poker table or down at one of those shiny, fun-sounding slot machines and MAKE SOME MONEY! You know the house always wins, right? Who am I to stop you, I love gambling as much as the next person! All of the casinos sport the same games, so wherever you decide to stop, you’ll be in good hands.
Pool Time at Wet
Republic

Walk
the Strip
Don’t
bother showering at this point (and don’t bother putting on those high heels),
just throw on some clothes (or don’t, as you’ll quickly find that people like
to “expose” themselves here) and take a walk up the Las Vegas Strip. Take in
the free attractions, look at the street performers (aka “people doing anything
for a dollar"), and walk through all of the hotels, where you can enjoy the outrageously
expensive décor while enjoying a little air conditioning. Grab a small bite to
eat at one of the many food courts while you’re out; you’re probably still
stuffed from this morning's buffet!
