Tips for Vegas (1 Viewer)

[Dane]

So I'm going to Vegas in november. I think It's my 5th time in Vegas so I'm not a complete novice. I've been in old Vegas and on the Strip. What I'm hoping for is suggestions for things to do that is not the obvious choises. Do any of you know any good music bars/jazz clubs. Pool halls, beer bars or other cozy places to drink, good places to eat. Places to gamble off Strip. Any suggestions would be much apreciated!
Oh and any tips for chip harvest will also be very welcome

Thanks a lot!

We travel twice a year to Vegas. One place we've hit the last few years is The Golden Tiki, Friday evening.

The best value in Vegas is found a bit off the strip. Here are a few spots I like:

Ellis Island - affordable and delicious ribs/steak and beers The is a gamblers hangout for the locals.

Peppermill Restaurant and Fireside Lounge - cool old school Vegas vibes with massive portions and a massive menu. It is fairly priced

Lindo Michoacan - Authentic mexican fare 10/10. There are several locations in town

There is a pool table in Cosmopolitan right next to Starbucks and the sports book which you can use for free.

Wicked Spoon also inside Cosmopolitan has a really good buffet.

Take a look at what DJs are playing the clubs while you are there. Seeing Tiesto or Steve Aoki is fun and memorable.

+1 off strip, and +100 Ellis Island, we love it there.

Also one of our regular stops is Casa di Amore off strip for Italian food, live music and cheap wine.

Make sure you check out the Mirage and the volcano before it gets ripped out for the new Hard Rock Casino.

I always recommend Firefly over on Paradise. Spanish-style tapas and small plates. Mojitos and sangria available by the pitcher, and the fun part with the food is order several plates to start and then keep ordering until you are content and not miserable.

The smoked-almond stuffed bacon wrapped dates are my weakness there.
