How to Not Be 'That Guy' On Your Bachelor Trip To Vegas

March 18, 2010 at 7:36 PM | by Mr Pappagiorgio | 0 Comments

The boys are coming to Vegas. Whether it’s a bachelor party, divorce party, or a much needed weekend getaway, the plans are underway and the gang is pumped.

Everyone has their ideal Vegas: a favorite hotel, a lucky craps table, a must hit pool. After weeks of planning and booking the ultimate trip, don’t be THAT GUY.

That guy is the one who:

· Tries to Skimp on The Hotel Room: Don't be that guy who continues to seek out the cheapest deal and sends a daily email with ten reasons you should consider re-booking at the $20 per hour Motel Unknown. Dude, we know the economy sucks, but the guys are staying on the Strip. In a gaming hotel. Without six guys and cots in one room.

I left my “Chick Magnet” shirt at home.

Major League Baseball returns to Las Vegas this weekend as the Chicago White Sox square off against the Chicago Cubs for the second year in a row. Fans will pack into Cashman Field for two sure sellout games of spring training baseball.

Here’s what we expect to see:

1. Mayor Goodman sipping an oversized martini escorted by Vegas showgirls

2. Friendly baseball banter amongst knowledgeable Chicago fans until the 8th inning when a North Side/South side brawl breaks out in the left field stands

3. A chance to dust of the phrases tilt, can ‘o corn, ducks on the pond, and sit your *ss down so my kid can see the game excuse me sir but would you mind sitting

NASCAR Weekend: How it Went Down

Where: 7000 Las Vegas Blvd N [map], 89115

NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series blew through Las Vegas this weekend. While neither of Las Vegas’s own Busch brothers won this year, a driver named Johnson managed to finish first which we find just as childishly amusing.

As we continue to shake out from under a layer of exhaust fumes, sweat, and a 30-pack hangover, we relish some of our favorite sights and sounds from NASCAR weekend:

How To (And How Not To) Get Your NASCAR On

Where: 7000 Las Vegas Blvd N [map], 89115
February 26, 2010 at 3:06 PM | by Mr Pappagiorgio | 0 Comments

You’re in Las Vegas for NASCAR weekend and that one guy in your group has done his homework. You know the guy – the one that comes up with a list of ridiculous must-do items while the boys are in Vegas. Most likely a brother-in-law or co-worker you couldn’t technically say no to after he invited himself.

Luckily, we threw out your buddy’s list and cut to the chase: three do's and don'ts to get the most out of your NASCAR weekend - whether you’re a hardcore race fan or you just need proof you didn’t spend the whole weekend drunk and slumped over at a blackjack table.

A New Kind of 'Man Cave' is Now Open in Henderson

Where: 855 Seven Hills Dr. [map], 89052
December 18, 2009 at 1:29 PM | by Whalehead | 0 Comments

When most of us dudes hear about a “man cave,” we have visions of Jason Segal’s pad in “I Love You, Man,” a place where guys can watch sports, play video games, jam on musical instruments and, um, engage in other forms of self-appreciation.

Now, however, in the suburb of Henderson, the phrase is the name of a new cigar shop.

The shop, Man Cave Cigar Lounge, is located at 855 Seven Hills Dr., and opened sometime last month. In short, if you like cigars, it’s well worth the trip.

Inside, the joint feels like your basic frat house. It’s cavernous. It’s got dark colors. Oh, and cigars adorn just about every wall. All told, the collection rivals that of Caesars Palace's Casa Fuente (until now, the pre-eminent cigar shop in town). The benefit of the Man Cave, of course, is that because it has less overhead than its Strip-based competitor, just about all of the prices are lower.

Smoke Your Stogies in Mandalay Bay’s Foundation Room

Where: 3950 Las Vegas Blvd. [map], 89119

Considering that Las Vegas is nicknamed Sin City, there’s certainly no shortage of places to light up and smoke a stogie with the guys.

In previous posts, we here at VegasChatter have highlighted Casa Fuente, the standout cigar shop/smoking lounge inside the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace (take note: they also serve wine, scotch and brandy).

One spot we’ve overlooked: The Foundation Room on the top floor of Mandalay Bay.

Start Your Guy's Night at Red Rock Lanes

October 30, 2009 at 1:02 PM | by Whalehead | 0 Comments

Here in the gambling capital of the world, the word "strike" is most commonly a transitive verb, requiring an object such as "gold" or "jackpot" to follow in close succession.

On nights out with the guys, we also have used it as a noun at the Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa, home to the Red Rock Lanes Bowling Center.

The 72-lane facility opened in April 2008 and has quickly become one of the most popular bowling alleys in town. Among the attractions: 24-hour bowling, a swanky VIP section, a spacious pro shop and, of course, lane-side gaming.

We went on a Friday, one of two nights the center offers Cosmic Bowling in the main, 60-lane concourse. With dim lighting and techno music thumping, we could have been in a nightclub - or a Britney video. Between shots (the bowling kind), we swigged beers and watched a college football game on a nearby flat-screen TV.

Where to Find the Best ‘Manscaping’ in Vegas

September 8, 2009 at 3:04 PM | by Whalehead | 0 Comments

Fellas, listen up: before you hit some of Las Vegas’ finest casinos, restaurants and (perhaps the) strip clubs, consider gussying up with a little manscaping. That’s right, manscaping—the act of landscaping yourself as a man.

If this kind of grooming is an art form, the Picasso of our time is none other than Sal Jeppi, the master barber in the "Men’s Zone" at Qua Baths & Spa inside Caesars Palace.

The Easiest Way to Plan a Vegas Bachelor Party

August 26, 2009 at 7:08 PM | by Whalehead | 0 Comments

Make sure you book a pool cabana that can hold your crew and some honeys!

Unless you’re cut from the same cloth as Clark Griswold, planning a buddy’s bachelor party in Las Vegas can be challenging at best. Securing the best rates! Making reservations! Lining up transportation! Booking tables! Poolside Cabanas! The tasks can drive a good man batty.

But there are other ways to go about this; namely, concierge services.

Private concierge services work independently of hotels and schedule everything from limo transportation to table service, dinner rezzies to rezzies at strip clubs. VIP services outfits such as VIPVegas.com, VegasVIP.com, Red Carpet VIP and the unforgettably named Vegas VIP Hottie Hosting.
