I know this won't appeal to most players attending from Blighty but I've had some great times at...
The Imperial Palace Mixed Game which spreads every Sunday at 7PM. It is 3/6 Limit, and has a fixed 10 game rotation. A flyer that explains all the games is available in the poker room.
The mixed is a preset rotation of the following games in the following order:
Omaha 8
Razz
2-7 Triple Draw
Double Flop Omaha
Stud 8
Badugi
3-2-1 Omaha
A-5 Triple Draw 8 or better
4 Card Ocean Crazy Pineapple
Baduci (2-7 TD with a 4 Card Badugi for half the pot)
Each game is played for 8 hands (tracked with lammers). It is a raked game, with a max rake of $3 per hand (with no jackpot drop). The game always goes all night (usually breaking around 6AM) and often spreads on two tables. You must call no later then 4PM to get a seat in th3 7PM main game. It takes about 3.5 hours to get through one full rotation of all 10 games.
Of course, Sunday is also proposed to be Day 2 of the APAT Event but I thought I would just mention it as it can be a fun way to donk off a couple of hundred (or not) while have a bunch of laughs.

In, in, in and in. Been planning to get myself on the list for the mixed game ever since I started planning my trip!

In The Aria, Cirque du Soleil have "Elvis" the show which is absolutely superb. A sort of Elvis meets Dodgeball meets Spiderman sort of thing. The artists are simply fantastic and well worth seeing. About £100 per show.
yep was awesome!

I see shows as being more of an individual thing but each to their own.
For those only going for 7 days, you have a lot to pack in (including the APAT event and Adam's Batchelor Night so pick and choose carefully.
OK....what else would you like to see?
Remember I'm thinking for groups...not necessarily all 100 of us (the way this is going) but say 7 - 12.

"No idea why some ppl don't play the bonus. I wouldn't touch the game without playing the bonus!!! doesn't matter if i played $1.00 or $100 on the bonus, id still play it, just like you said, ppl hit 5 aces etc and dont get paid!!! The bonus is where the money is but it is a great drinking game!!

My pleasure.
Just remember folks...THIS IS YOUR TRIP...do what YOU want to do....I'll throw out the odd suggestion or 40 but it's going to be the things I think you might like (sprinkled with a touch of my experience) that will make it your own.
We're all different and like different things...if you have some thoughts, do some research on your own and post it up...I'm pretty much always ready to pitch in a enhance/deepen what you've already found.

Has anyone tried Earl of Sandwich @ PHo?
I'll probably focus on researching food places (I'm a closet foodie) that aren't high-end restaurants.
Oh, and I don't know about the rest of you, but Joobs and I plan on spending one afternoon at a shooting range.

Noodle Asia
at Venetian - Superb food at a sensible price. About 50 yds from the V poker room.
Lillie's Asian Cuisine
at Golden Nugget - Good food, reasonable price.
