yeah I’ve heard overseas have awesome buffets.
I’ll check a few out when I head over there.
Can you recommend your favourite places in Vegas?
I’m definitely hitting up Vegas when I go.
@Blue_boost I member you have been to Vegas too. Give us your 2 cents.
I love Vegas. Been there many many times. Food options in Vegas are endless, not to mention high end restaurants are lacing their food with cannabis.

one thing I have not done in Vegas is a buffet!! I know ridiculous. I went over to flamingo buffet and there was a long line, all over weight people so I went elsewhere. Didn’t want to have to jostle with 350 pound people for a dish. Plus I had a pool party to attend next day.

food options are just amazing in Vegas, all budgets, every way you look. Go there and discover, don’t listen to anyone. You could go there 500 times and have 500 completely new experiences, Las Vegas boulevards, boulder highway, Fremont street, container park, every casino.

the heart attack grill makes you weigh yourself before you go in and if you are over 350 pounds you eat free, big mongrels

I have worked as a chef in many different restaurants, pubs, clubs, etc. My best recommendation is... Don't eat out. Cook your own food. It's the only way to be sure.
they never do announce when they have a roach problem so they?

will definitely check out all recommendations when I go.
My friend lives in LA but used to work in Vegas.

I’m certain he knows cool shit to do?
He said Vegas is a good place to shoot guns too.

Did you guys do any shooting over there?
I miss the good ol days in Australia when lots of men had guns and arranged hunting trips with their mates.

I remember my mum was friends with a lady who had a boyfriend who was cockeyed because he probably spent more time in his life aiming at targets than reading books?

he would always say to my stepdad “hey Rick do ya wanna go shootin”?
Now it’s only crazy Arab imports who served in the military, in their native homeland who ever suggest to go shootin!

You need to write a book about your Vegas holidays and turn it into a Netflix series!

I'd watch TV again if there was a show about this! Haha
that’s the beauty of Vegas, every time you go it’s a brand new experience. If anyone wants some serious ridiculous stories, that’s for another thread..

Yeah one of my friends said they will take you for a ride in a helicopter and let you shoot at targets.
Must of been an awesome experience I bet you can’t wait to go back?

All of us need to put our differences aside and do a Vegas trip.
We need to form the kennels version of the rat pack!

Fatburger and Pink's Hot dogs are the best food in Vegas.

I’ve done this many times before.. I book and organise the whole itinerary.. the beauty of it is it doesn’t go to plan.. that’s the magic.

Every guy that come last time called it a 10/10 trip.

It’s always such a great trip. I’ve been invited to the F1. I’m not into car racing & being November the pools will be shut but I know it will be an amazing trip so leaning towards going.

Vegas has got more expensive since covid but so worth it. The people running the target shooting would be making so much profit. I’ve got plenty of my own guns & lots of space to shoot them so haven’t been but would be fun too with some crazy shit there.

Bellagio was the best buffet. Now Wynn slightly ahead. The pool parties when someone good is there are a great experience. $100 U.S a drink so not many renters there for you haha

pool parties weed out the renters.. I was in line and a big unfit guy in front of me (looked like he saw a few too many buffets)… they say to him it’s $150usd to get in.. he umms and arrs and says I’ll probably come back later..then I get to front of line and I’m a fit guy with abs… it’s $30usd to get in, no worries. Girls free (it was a topless pool party). They want a certain crowd… best afternoon ever

but if you are a big fat buffet loving mongrel renter they basically price you out of the party

Haha yep the last one I went to was 90% women because their tickets are 1/4 of the price and all the barmaids are models in bikinis. Imagine trying to do that in Australia with our weak lefties it would be cancelled & have so many rules with 100 police patrolling & 50 RSA marshalls haha. I got friendly with one of the barmaids who made our drinks so strong but we’d have watered down mid strength in australia and no shots haha

Lol that's awesome.
These Vegas pool parties sound like a blast?

just hope I Don't get charged $150 for entry?
I should be right.
Same height as Michael Jordan and people think I'm a basketball player?

Often people tell me I look like Dolph Lundgren.
Hoping this will score me free entry?

I've noticed in Australia most foreigners here prefer boat parties.
Probably the closest thing you will get to a Vegas pool party here?

you’re right.
This country is too much of a nanny nation and if we attempted doing the same thing, what you described will happen.
You will have too many grub thug RSA Marshalls and security thinking they’re mad ***** because they’re getting paid off the books at a topless pool party?

Definitely some interesting ones. I try to avoid discussing most due to legal issues. For example, there may or may not have been a restaurant that served pork to Muslims telling them it was Veal.

If you're Muslim and ask a Greek if there food is halal? and they say yes.
I can assure you chances are high you just got lied to.

Speaking of such. There was an interesting scam going round about 10 years back. A Halal certified meat supplier would go around to restaurants in the area advertising products, then about 1-2 weeks later a group booking would be made for a large function that must use Halal meat. Often they would recommend the meat supplier they use. Then after the meat is bought, the party would never show up for the booking and the meat supplier would stop answer his phone. I saw a fair few restaurants get hit by it. Funny thing was that it was good quality meat and they weren't overcharging.

So the whole halal meat certification is just a farce to keep Muslims opening their wallets without 2nd guessing?
