Has anyone ever been to Vegas?

Yes.

Stayed at The Signature at MGM Grand. Very nice place.

All I can say is, if you go in summer, it's hot as hell. But then again, you'll be out at night mostly. The strip is very long, but you have to walk it. Check out numerous casinos. There is good food to be found. Great night life. And ... be okay with the fact that you WILL lose money.

It's basically just fun. You really don't need to know much more than that. Go. The fun will be everywhere. You don't need a list of things to do. And again, you will lose money.

I'm out there 5 or 6 times a year. I know all the good places to poop. A good place to preparty is Carnival Court next to Harrah's. Outdoor bar with live music. Then hit the casinos. Obviously with my married-man lack of swag I don't do the club scene anymore so I can't help you there.

Lots of times. Played in the WSOP last year which was the last time I went.

One fun thing to do is hit the pool with your boys - get a Cabana and suck down a few beers while oogling ladies. May sound dumb but if you go to one on the popular day it's a blast. It's not my first choice of things to do but if you are like me you need to get out of the hotel just to stop gambling.

Go to a show. If you are betting enough you can even get comped. My favorite show is O.

Go shoot some machine guns

IF you have cash take a helicopter to the Grand Canyon

Oh and if you need anything (and I mean anything) call the concierge not the front desk. Usually he can get you what you need.

Oh and go eat. There are so many fun restuarants from 5 star to rediculous all you can eat buffets.

And another thing. Head downtown and play $1 craps at the Golden nugget then watch the outdoor laser/music show. Get a fried twinkie.

Just stand at the tables for awhile and watch. You will see these "ego" gamblers walk up and drop $1200 dollars and in ten minutes, be broke. They will walk to the next table and do the same thing. I have always been amazed that when in Vegas, your normal senses do not work, in fact, they become disconnected altogether.

It should be, "the money you take to Vegas, stays in Vegas"

I think I'll be out there in June for my first trip but it'll be for Electric Daisy Carnival

Not sure I would be a good gambler.,..I'm horrid at math

I just sat and watched in New Orleans

I was at the Rio last year during WSOP.

And you're right, O is great. I want to see the Beetles one next.

I'm there 2 times a year. Will be there in May for my wife's birthday. I've stayed at almost every casino/hotel. I can give you the best places to stay for the right amount of money.

I can also show you an app on Facebook that can help get you comps if interested. So far I'm looking forward to watch Chris Angel for free with the app.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
