after the success of the amsterdam thread below, i thought i'd make one for la and vegas since many posters here would live in/be familiar with these two cities.

i'm going to visit la and vegas in either january or february next year for about a week each, and whilst i've been to both cities already, i was 15 at the time and can't remember shit. so help me out with where to stay, where to eat, what to see, and most importantly, as i'm australian, where to go out and get drunk.

thanks.

Being that your Aussie I'm gonna assume you'll want beer. When I was filming in Burbank we spent every night at the Gordon Bierch Brewery. Good beer, and great pub food. That's the first place I'll be visiting when I hit LA again.
As for Vegas bet it all on Red.

thanks lance, fuck the rest of you for not replying

The weather was good today in L.A. Golden sky and tempertures about 70 degrees F (thats about 25 degrees C). Nice weather really. Women will come and go, except when it rains so be jolly.

West Hollywood has more ignorant rude people who don't care or notice anyone else but themselves than those who aren't like that. Not tourist friendly. Unless you can play the roll well then you'll do just fine there. LOL

What Chico said too... more gay and metro than anything. Less down to earth hot chicks.

The best beaches as far as cleanliness north of the L.A. area is San Buenaventura Beach in Ventura, CA. The sand is fine and nearly white, not poorly littered and the water doesn't smell like a Andy Gump.

As far as beaches go,its all about Malibus Carbon Beach.

thanks for the tips guys, keep them coming

when you go to vegas, you will probably want to check out the crown and anchor, its an english pub that is open 24hours and you can watch aussie and english sports while drinking. its pretty good. here is a good schedule of the popular nightclubs to hit

Monday - anywhere in Mandalay Bay, right now its Mix
Tuesday - Pure at Caesars Palace
Wednesday - anywhere at MGM (Studio 54 or Tabu)
Thursday - Rain at the Palms
Friday - Body English at Hard Rock
Tryst at the Wynn Resort
Saturday - Pure at Caesars Palace
Body English at Hard Rock
Jet at Mirage
Sunday - Lite at Bellagio

also, Sunday afternoon is the pool party at the Hard Rock called Rehab...its fucking incredible...picture ALL of the strippers in vegas, except in bikinis and partying by the pool during the day. good times

also, for strip clubs.....i wouldn't stray outside of the Crazy Horse II or Spearmint Rhino, anything else is hit or miss, those 2 are always the bomb.

and there you go.......i lived in vegas for a couple of years and worked in those clubs, so this is pretty dead on.

There's a Crown and Anchor out here too in Westlake Village but not open 24hrs. The food is awesome!

A lot of the UNLV Hotties hang out at "THE BEACH", which is also a popualr place for out of town chicks to visit and cut loose, so if you want to meet a NON-professional civilian chick you can score with without forking over a minimum of 400-500 bucks, try that place...

Many of the OLDER, MILF type strippers and escorts that still look pretty fuckign hott can often be found at the FLAMINGO Hilton's Pool, especially during the daytime weekend when their customary business clientele is slow...so if you like MILFs, check the Flamingo out...but Christian is right about Rehab on Sundays. All the YOUNG HOTTIES go there for hangover busting bloody mary's and the cool pool scene. Try the in-water blackjack to attract some gold digging honey's to flirt with...buy in for about 300-400 AT LEAST and pretty soon a couple chicks will be rubbing your dick under the water as you decide to double down against an ACE to appear brave and cavalier in their eyes...good times.

Also, there is a Burgeoning RUSSIAN MAfia Presence in Vegas, and as such HOTT Russian Chicks abound...again the Flamingo Hilton is a good place to meet a "Natasha" who will be your girlfriend for the night for as little as 500 bucks (a STEAL cuz most of these Russian chicks are TOTALLY hott, and do just about ANYTHING.) For some reason, the Russkies also like the Aladdin...the pool on the roof is pretty nice. If you take the girl shopping in Aladdins Mall and buy her a nice trinket or dress, she'll blow you right at the register if you ask her...they dont have malls in Russia except in Moscow and St Petersburg.

If you are on a budget, cheap and/or dont want to blow a LOT on a room but still want SOME semblance of superficial quality, check out the Straosphere at the VERY end of the Strip. Dont let the surrounding block's appearance fool you, the STRAT actually is a clean, decent hotel...lets you plop your money on more important things like Booze, Hookers and Strippers...

I personally have a sentimental attachment to Downtown Las Vegas...my first time, right out of College in 1992 I stayed downtown and had the fuckign time of my life...in 1992 Vegas was still VEGAS. I still remember it just before the city changed (for the worse) and became Disneyland for Degenerates. Downtown still has some historical sights of OLD Vegas worth seeing, and the Golden Nugget is still a decent, semi-classy hotel. Only problem is you will have a hard time getting a decent escort to visit you downtown unless you pay a premium...if the girls get busted Downtown it is a MAJOR hassle for them as opposed to being busted on the strip...

thanks for the rundown on what's hot christian, and thanks for your input burg, though i'm not into hookers.

i think that's vegas covered, anyone got anything else to add for la, like what area to stay in? if i remember correctly the city was motherfucking massive, any advice would be appreciated.
