Board 8 > Recommendations for a first time Vegas trip?

(+) Yeah! (+)

My fiance's parents surprised us with 5 nights at the MGM Grand in mid-March. I've never been but have wanted to go forever, and now I suddenly have a trip to plan in two weeks.

I think we'll try to do the landmark stuff like the Grand Canyon since we have nearly a week. I'm also both into gambling and drinking so I'm sure I'll have my bases covered there. I'm not much of a club guy but do want to go to at least one for the experience, if anyone has any recommendations of a great one.

I'm looking for info on maybe some lesser known attractions/food options, and what people would consider "must see".

The goal is to not run out of money by day 3.

It'll also be my first time spending more than a day in the US in general. I've been over the border to Buffalo for some shopping, but otherwise nothing.

So even just generic normal "American" things could be cool.

for real though if you get ahold of him and tell him you're from Board 8 I'm sure he'd be able to give you a thousand great tips. I think he's BrandonFromVegas on most social media apps

Besides drinking, clubbing and gambling? Maybe see a cirque du soleil show, go to some fancy restaurant in one of the resorts

if you wanna see more national parks maybe Death Valley is doable?

good luck with 5 days of Vegas, I'm usually wrecked after one night lol

Yeah it definitely seems like a lot, but I also wasn't going to say no to a paid flight and hotel!

Death Valley seems cool. My thing is less finding things to do, and more not knowing those things even exist, if that makes sense.
