Vegas Baby. . !

Hi Julie: As a woman who has been to Vegas many many times (probably too many times) I can tell you this. You will have fun, even on a budget! Here's some sage advice for you and your friends and, remember this, Vegas is not cheap, but if you dress the part, lots of cover charges will be waved. Door checkers love the hot ladies. Hotel rooms may be cheap but that's it. Everything else is expensive! Glass of cheap wine $15.00. I don't know your budget but if your a college student I would imagine that the least expensive night out the better.

For dinner: Lots of very good restaurants in Casino's like Paris and the Palms. A little pricey but fun and excellent food. Try the Japanese restaurant "Little Buddha" in the Palms. Yummmm!

Try the roof top bar at the Rio. Very fun and a fantastic view.

Go to "Rain" in the Palms. Britney and Paris Hilton always go there. Its filled with stars and celebs. It's pricey but fun.

The Hard Rock Hotel pool during the day is great fun. Lots of celebs and a fun place to be seen. Bring your skimpiest suit because the skimpier the suit the better the service.

For sight seeing during the day (if your sober) go to The Venetian hotel. OMG! Go to the second floor and see the shops and the gondolas in the river. Amazing! There's a river on the second floor with gondolas floating around with people in them. I love it! Only in Vegas!

Bring along a good pair of walking shoes. The funny thing about Vegas is that everything is very close but the size is deceiving! You walk a lot and its a long way to go from one casino to another during the day, even if the casino is right next to each other. They're giant properties and will take you forever to get from one to another. Your feet will get sore.

I'll send you more stuff before you go if you tell me where your staying, etc. that will help me a lot in how to guide you. You will love it.
