    Frankie's is definitely worth a stop. The inside is dark and smoky but the cocktails are high quality and potent. A couple of the "5 skull" drinks will get a good buzz going, the Fink Bomb is great. Same ownership group as the Double Down Saloon and I've found the vibe/crowd to be similar.

    Good list. Some of mine are the same.
    A few years ago while staying at Venetian, the couple we went out with got on an elevator with Chazz (He was doing his one man show that weekend). I was pissed I was not with them. Of course, I probably would have said something stupid, probably something about "wasted talent."

    I think I've seen alot of what there is to see in Vegas but 2 of the things I really want to see are:
    1. Wayne Newtons place - Doing this tour in 4 weeks.
    2. Grand Canyon - Bucket List still...
    3. Hoover Dam - Bucket List

    Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen the Las Vegas Sign, much less stopped.

    Lotus of Siam rocks. Highly recommended.

    Couple of things on my list for my next trip/future trips:

    1. Head to the Vegas Sign
    2. Fremont Street
    3. Check out the Park, looks like some decent restaurants in my neck of the woods
    4. Check out Flamingo - I don't think I've ever stepped foot in it.

    I used to have more but in the last couple years with the now wife going I have knocked a few off such as a night time helicopter ride (anyone remember when they used take off strip side), eat at the Peppermill, Mandalay Bay Shark Reef and the Neon Museum. I will say that I would like to do the Neon Museum in the day now as well. They have a bunch of signs stacked around/behind the main ones and would love to see those as well. My Top 5 to do's are:

    1. Pinball Hall of Fame (think I will try this one next trip via Uber)
    2. Red Rock Canyon
    3. Lotus of Siam
    4. Ride the High Roller
    5. Frankie's Tiki Bar

    For the longest time we went and gambled all the time, but at different places. So much so the wife often wondered why I liked going since we have gambling 10 mins away in Philly. I said I don't really know it just Vegas. Then about two years ago after being on the boards for a while and seeing all the things to do, after 15 trips by then, we started to go out more and do other things and the wife comments, I never knew there was this much to do beside gambling, what have we been doing! :)

    1. Hit the Stratosphere and cheat death on the ride up there.

    2. Be there for an Implosion..(non-gambling :) )

    11 Trips and I've still never seen the welcome to las vegas sign. Maybe this time?

    Neon Museum would be cool.

    I've wanted to see the Plaque where 2Pac was shot too. I go to Ellis Island all the time but always end up going the opposite way (by Bally's instead of PH)
