I'm going to surprise my wife with a weekend trip to go a see Celine Dion some time in in early March. I don't care to see her, but my wife loves her and she onlys place in Vegas.
Any idea on a decent hotel and a good steakhouse in Vegas? My brother said the comspolitan was a cool place?
A good spa? I figure my wife could be there on Saturday afternoon and I can hit the blackjack tables and the sports book. Any suggestions on a good sports book ?
I also want to see a show maybe on Friday night? Any suggestions.
Thanks for any ideas in advance.

Great place, have fun!
The Cosmo overall is the trendiest spot in Vegas. I'm not trendy but I get comped there so that's where I always stay. The rooms are amazing. I think STK at Cosmo is a bit overrated as a steakhouse and you need to make reservations pretty far in advance.
I haven't done too many steakhouses in Vegas, but I thought Craftsteak at MGM was overrated too. I had good experiences at Gordon Ramsay Steak and Prime at Bellagio. Lunch on the terrace deck at Olives at Bellagio is a cool place to take your wife too, overlooks the fountains.
Thanks for all the great recommendations!
The O show is absolutely breathtaking.
Bellagio sports book is great. Still one of my favorites. It can get cramped and if you don't get a good seat you can find yourself looking up at a big tv (like being in the front row of a movie). But the book is really cool with leather seats, good cocktail service, and decent video poker in the sports book bar if you play $1. I won't say the blackjack at Bellagio is unplayable, but it's nothing like it was 10 years ago.
Prime is very good for a steakhouse, but if you stay at Bellagio, and you want to pass on steak, try Circo. It's italian and the food is amazing. You can also get a table by the window for an up lose fountain view.
If you are willing to walk, and you would consider going in late February, then stay at the Wynn Tower Suites. For the past 5 years we have split our vegas trip into 2 nights Bellagio, 2 nights Wynn Tower Suites. The tower suite experience at Wynn is what Bellagio was like 10 years ago for everyone. The rooms are great, and the hotel is so slow that you can buy suite upgrades that are generally not available to the public for purchase. We have stayed in a salon suite for the last 5 years on the 50th floor or higher. The room is unbelievable (3300 sq ft) and only cost $150 extra per night. The rack rate, when available, is usually 799-1099/night. Just something to keep in mind if you are a little more flexible in your plans.
Thanks for the detailed response and info.
After a long day of travel we check in to the Belagio, I tell everyone I am going to take an afternoon nap before gambling. I lay down , I hear the room next to me shower come on, I go man this guy is taking a long fuckin shower, but it finally stops, then about 30 minutes the water comes back on, I am furious and call down to the front desk asking them why their room walls are made out of paper , I can hear my neighbor shower and he showers every 30 minutes, lady asks for me to look out my window and I see the fountain show. Oh I say that is nice sorry to bother you. Idiot that I am! Lol
Lol.. Good stuff Bk
Might check out the m resort and spa , nice buffet .
Have fun
I thought about going during March madness, but I won't have too much time to hang in sports book.. That's a trip I wanna to make for another time. Thanks for the ideas.
I heard the atmosphere for the PAC 12 tourney last year was amazing.
1) sand to the beach = no go
2) celine dione, this should get you one free pass with a hooker
3) Encore
4) Steve Wynn steak house
Lmaoo....a hooker or a bj would be nice... Maybe both..lol
Done it a few times. Most likely doing it again this year. Enjoy it however you decide to do it.
Totally agree but have a few comments. Stay at the Palazzo (A few extra $$ but worth the upgrade) and "tip sandwich" with a $20. (http://www.frontdesktip.com/faq/). The steakhouse Reb mentioned at Wynn is ++. So is Carnevino at the Palazzo (this was mentioned by another poster previously). I honestly believe that Lagasse Stadium is the best sportsbook in town. It is located under the front desk/lobby of the Palazzo and has some of the best TVs, the most comfortable seating and the best food of any book in town. Its like watching from an ESPN zone except the food is edible and the service is top notch (and the female employees are worth talking to). You are centrally located to everything, especially the Celine show and tons of shopping nearby for the wife. The Palazzo/Venitian pool area is great and so is the spa (as Reb mentioned).
Dont forget the Tip Sandwich
Have a great New Years!!
What do you mean it is not wife friendly? Are there half naked women running around...lol
Yeah...super fuckin hot once also - all the strippers that work in vegas or come to vegas to work the weekends go to palazzo or MGM
Nothing wrong with a little eye candy while drinking at the pool..loll
Thanks man
Sorry bro, I was thinking encore! You are safe at the palazzo
