My Vegas experience is largely as a local, so I'm not a great source for tourist recommendations. You've probably spent as much time on the strip as I have. I just know that one of the few positives about that city is that it's incredibly cheap compared to other major American cities. I actually just spoke to someone from San Francisco who was marvelling at how cheap the food is. But that person is an older person with lifelong friends there, not someone trying to party and such. The best advice I can give is don't grab your food from gas stations, tourist destinations and such-- I went to the ATM at a 7-11 near UNLV and the fee was around $2 as I'm used to; if you went to the Vons in that area, you could have gotten some cheap food. (The Smart & Final near UNLV may be your best bet. Of course, there are always places like Wal-Mart and more local/regional options like Sprouts.) I can't speak as to why a group like Boyz II Men is performing for free anywhere-- That's definitely not happening with major acts in Vegas. Entertainment may cost more than other places but the basics are really cheap.

That makes sense. A Lyft driver did tell me that staying in downtown Las Vegas is a very different, and much superior experience than staying on the strip.

Looking for some dance clubs to head to, specifically ones that play hip-hop, top 40, r&b.
Any other spots and tips would be appreciated.

I figured it would be slow around that time. Hence, why the hotel prices were so low. Not looking for too much craziness anyway.
Remember you have to pay a $25 a day resort fee on top of whatever your room rate is + you have to pay to Park your car unless you fly

Yeah, I already know about the resort fee and we're flying.

Any spots you can recommend?
XS night club @ encore Maybe a night flight over the strip and the Grand Canyon.. also if you're into shows I would definitely recommend Le reve

Tell you what go to www.vegas.com to find deals and things to do... I would definitely tell you to rent one of the exotic cars for a few hours or you can go to the motor speedway and do a few laps

Need an 2017 update. Going with the Mrs in a couple of weeks
If u are not renting a car try stay on the middle of strip. Even though a rental allows you more flexibility. There are alot of nice places to eat on and off the strip. Bellagio has one of the best buffets on the strip,truly excellent.Crab Corner is off the strip and have excellent food and very reasonable prices

Thanks @CORNBREAD for the input. We had a suite at the Venetian. First day there we went to Dupar. Breakfast was excellent. Pancakes the size of plates:eek2:. Went to sunbuggy.com and did the hour long Baja mini chase. The terrain was tough as hell but we had fun. Went to the Michael Jackson show at the stratosphere. That was excellent. Right after that went for the helicopter ride on the strip. The wife and I loved it. Went to Del Taco after which was on the way to the copter. Also went to Claim Jumper in the Golden Nugget. Went there for breakfast so we didn't get to see Freedmont at night. That place reminded me of Coney Island in the 80's lol. Also went to the Crab Corner and got the King Crab legs and a 1/2 pound of steamed shrimp. I immediately sat in the hammocks after the food for a hour:lol:
We also did the Maddam Tussue and the Gondolo package which was fun. Also went to Battlefied Vegas and shot guns for the first time. Realized I'm good at getting head shots with a 9mm. (Bring on the zombie apocalypse lol).

Overall this was probably the best anniversary/vacations I've had

oh and did I mention Bellagio's Buffet .Its one of the best

I went to Bellagios but when we got there the line was outta control. Then we tried in & out but that line was long too, so we wound up going to Virgils which I've been to several times in New York

I will be in Vegas next week for a conference by myself (and 37,000 other attendees, mostly white). Where's the best place to see gorgeous black women? Topless or nude?
