My Answers are in Blue.

So, we're going to Vegas and will have a limited amount of time on the Strip, one day/two nights. If you could see/do only one thing in each of the categories below, what would that be?

Hotel (to stay in)- Bellagio or Caesar's from what we've stayed in. Want to try Aria and Venetian one of these trips.

Hotel (to visit) City Center (Aria, Bellagio & Cosmopolitan. Cosmo is not part of City Center but it's in the same vicinity. )

Breakfast Good question. Never up in time for Breakfast.

Lunch Cheesecake Factory inside Caesar's. Also like Hard Rock Cafe.

Dinner Smith & Wollensky. Down the street from the MGM Grand.

Buffet My favorite is the Village Seafood Buffet at Rio (not be to confused with the Carnival Buffet at Rio) which is off-strip. On-strip Wynn.

Show LOVE at the Mirage or Celine Dion at Caesar's.

Free show Freemont Street (Again in Downtown Vegas - Considered the old strip). On the strip: Fountains at Bellagio. Sirens at TI.

Slots Any casino I guess. DW and I last went in April, and none of them seemed to be hitting no matter where we went. So if you find a lucky place, let me know. Going again in October to take DM for her birthday.

Ah yes. Drinks. Rhumbar at the Mirage. It's a places that sells the slushy type drinks. I highly recommend the lemonade with vodka. Tastes just like the grey gooses slushies from WDW. Unlike some of the other places that sell these type of drinks, they put in the shot after they fill your glass. They pour the shot and stir at the same time. Possibly even more than a shot. They just pour straight out of the bottle. Then once you finish that one, you can take your cup back for a refill. Still charge you for the refill, but costs less.

If you like Margarita's, where else but Margaritaville. If you're up to a challenge, try the 100 oz. margarita. DW and I killed one off on our last trip.

Marguaritas are the only alcohol that I will drink. My husband is a beer man.

So tough to decide!
I would like to stay on the Strip, so maybe the Venetian.
Visit-- any of the Strip hotels!

Breakfast: Love the buffet at TI
Lunch: Love the buffet at the Orleans or TI
Dinner: So many to choose! I loved eating at the Venetian though, so much yumminess!

Buffet: see above
Show: Loved Spamalot! 2nd favorite: Chippendales/Thunder Down Under
Free Show: DH says anything with girls. /rolls eyes

Slots: doesn't matter. They are all pretty much the same thing. You could go into the McDonalds near Desert Inn Rd and play, if you wanted to.

Marguaritas are the only alcohol that I will drink. My husband is a beer man.

They do margarita's at the Rhumbar as well. I did the lemonade and had them add tequila to it. Tasted just like a margarita, but they do have a margarita mix as well.

 

[Kirby]

I keep hearing about Margueritaville so I think it's going to be put on our list of stops.

I keep hearing about Margueritaville so I think it's going to be put on our list of stops.

Don't bother with Margaritaville, same chain restaurant as elsewhere. For a great margarita go to Cabo Wabo at Planet Hollywood or (believe it or not), the Petrossian Lounge at the Bellagio. They make a fantastic classic margarita. (This is the bar near right off the check-in area with the piano.

Hotel (to stay in) Aria (rooms are awesome)

Both are casual, as one is in the casino (Petrossian) and the other you can access from outside at PH. No need to dress up at all.
