I am your one stop shop to anything you need on this subject. Why you ask? Because I had my bachelor party there and attended two others there.

I may not mave the proper time to devote to this right now, but I will give you more later today or at worst case tomorrow morning. I will give a few quick answers on the 5 questions you had above and then I will come back to give you some details on the all important subject of logistics.

Strip clubs - OG / Olympic Gardens. Do not let taxi drivers talk you into other places. There are newer places out there and most of the time when the taxi driver says that you should go somewhere else, he is getting a kickback. The Girls at the OG are just breathtaking. No where has hotter women case closed. Be prepared to spend though.

Casinos - this is going to depend on the folks you are with which I will get into later. There is a yin and yang of casinos in Vegas though: ability to get a table with a resonable minimum vs. quality of the clientelle. You can gamble with the "pretty people" have coherent gamblers at the table and overall classy folks, or you can gamble where you can get on a table for $5 - $10 minimums. Try to pick places that are kinda in between. Not super old or crappy (Circus Circus, Tropicana, Frontier) but not too pretty (Bellagio, Mandalay). I like the Treasure Island, maybe New York, Paris, MGM, Palms. More of a second tier if you follow. Wanna see hot women walking around but not gamble too much then hang out at the Hard Rock and the Bellagio to see eye candy.

Bars
This is going to sound weird, but it is a cool place. Go to the Polo Towers and got to the top floor. There is a bar there that overlooks the entire strip and you can hang out there and talk to your buds. A little pricey, but the place is really cool. If not, hanging out at the Palms or Hard Rock bars is neat. I am guessing you are not the kind of guys who can go to some "trendy" dance club and pull tail so I am leaving those fag bars out.

Clubs
Oh wait - I see. Ummmm these kind of places suck if you ask me. You wait in line too long, they are too loud and the women are not naked. Oh yeah - and you pay a cover and buy expensive drinks. Don't ask me about this. I would say stay the hell away

locals
Did you guys go to school together in College? SOmtimes you can find a bar that is like an allumni hang out. Vegas is a tranient place - no one is from there. They all move there from other places. As such, maybe you can find one of these types of places. I went to a Nebraska bar at one Bachelor party(way the hell off the strip) since my one buddy was a huge Cornhusker fan.

More to come....
