All I gotta say is that the town is definetly full of fun. I mean all ages. What's there not to like. Kids got pizza,burgers and arcade all day. Grown folks got games and lobster all day . Clubs go all night until 4 in the morning.
Speaking of clubs you got Hard Rock hotel's Body English. The Palm's Ghost Bar or CLub Rain. Bellagio's Club Light or Caramel. Caesar's Palace's CLub Pure. Pretty much all of them are totally insane.
Don't get it twisted I am from Southern California an yes Hollywood ,L.A, Pasadena, Inland Empire, Orange County has it's moments when it comes to party.
Like for example I go to Hollywood on Tuesday and Wednesday caz thats when you get the real party. (Cinespace and Club Mood E.x.t.) See like Paris Hilton and crap like that. But in Vegas it's like another world. All in all I think Vegas is the number one spot to party hands down. Just my opinion. What do you guys think? |

I've been to Ibiza as well... and frankly... Ibiza > Vegas for clubbing. No better spot in the world... 3 days in Ibiza and you'll be dragging by the end.
The Largest club in the world is on Ibiza... (it's an island off Spain), along with many other notables... another great thing about Ibiza... you can either club during the day as well if you'd like... or goto the beaches (all topless of course) and check out all the fine women who are tanning up topless before going to the club at night... lets just say I had to go in the water a few times, not because I wanted to... but to cover my "sheer excitement" of the place.
It's the only true 24 hour a day/7 days a week clubbing place I have ever been... _________________ How can I get a copy of a Laker game played on Sunday, March 11, 2001 Sonics/Lakers? If you know PM me please

yeah man, vegas is definitely a very fun place. the clubs are as amazing as the women are. however, new orleans is a way more sinful place than vegas - on all levels (at least before the hurricane). _________________ "You have to remember something: Everybody pities the weak; jealousy you have to earn." |

Vegas is fun if you want an STD
In all seriousness though, Mardi Gras was better...but now I don't know after the everything that has happened. The best party though is the Carnival in Rio...although you have a strong possibility of getting an STD there as well |

Only thing that sucks about living in Vegas is when family and friends comeover. They always stay forever and want to get to every casino and hotel. _________________ SCHROEDER/CARUSO/COOK

I'd like to visit Dubai sometime. It's looking pretty awesome. Drawback: it's in the Middle East. |

Dubai is probably the best place to visit in the Middle East, a friend of mine went there and was treated with nothing but respect. He also said it was one of the more beautiful places he has ever been. |

So he had no hassles and felt no effects of all the stuff that's been going on over there? I haven't heard that there was any impact on Dubai, but at the same time I usually err to the side of caution.
I hear more development is coming up over there and they've created islands and have done all this crazy stuff. I need to get out of school and make some money before I go though. |

I love Vegas! It's really a very fun place, eventhough I'm not really into gambling. There's nothing like watching a big game in the sports books, can't really beat the atmosphere. The only thing I don't like about the casinos and the hotel is all the smoking going on. It really irritates the heck out of my throat. Aside from that, what's not to like? The shopping, restaurants, money, good looking women. _________________ Ringo "You retired too?"

What is Dubai???It doesn't sound more intriguing to me than Bali. If i was to go international I would like to hit up some tropical beach or something. |

Sure it might not "sound" sexy or intriguing, but Dubai is one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates and it sits right on the coast of the UAE. It's been growing insanely fast the past 2 decades, and they've built crazy casinos and beach resorts there. Here are some pictures/links:
The Burj Dubai, which is currently under construction, is set to be the world's tallest building when completed in 2008:

Ski Dubai, so you can go skiing in the Middle East:

Some more hotels, some right at the beach:

Peronsally, I think it looks fantastic. And no, I'm not a travel agent. I'm just impressed at the rate this place is growing, and there looks to be so much there, especially in a place where you wouldn't expect it. |

One of my best friends got back from Dubai last week after spending 10 days there on business. He said it is amazing, and told me it has some of the best looking women in the world. Money draws gorgeous women of course, and there's alot of money in Dubai. There are financial opportunities galore in dubai and there is good nightlife he said as well. |

Heh, I said that above too. Supposedly it's pretty safe there, but going to the Middle East would probably make most people nervous.
Well, here's to hoping that everything blows over, and that we'll make a ton of money and ball it up over there one day. |
