Just decided with the wife to go in early June. Booked flights and picked up a free room for the stay at Aria. 
Booked Le Cirque and Piero’s already. Need to book two more evening spots. One will be a steakhouse and one is an open wildcard. 
If anyone has any new recs, I’m all ears. 

We love wing lei at Wynn. Great American style old school Chinese food.

I really like Bavettes for steak next door at Park MGM

Have a reservation there next month.  Loved the OG Bavette's experience in Chicago.  Haven't yet tried the Vegas location.

If you’ve been to the one in Chicago, I would skip the Vegas location. I don’t think it’s as good and there’s so many other great places in Vegas to choose from.

Dammit!  OK, thanks for the heads-up Roy.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not bad, but it feels like the Vegas version if that makes sense. Less authentic and more an imitation.

Report back on my Vegas trip.  First off, I can’t think of a place less suited to my outdoor personality than Las Vegas.  I hate crowds, smoke, and don’t gamble, so you’d think I would hate it.  I didn’t, and thought Red Rocks Is one of the coolest places I’ve ever hiked.  Really spectacular spot.  The Hoover dam was fine.  I’ve been to Iguassu and plenty of other dams, so it was more exciting for the wife and kids.  
 

The strip was kind of interesting but after about ten minutes of walking around there I was done.  Of course my wife played some slots and won right away.  
 

Food:  we had a great time at Primal and although it was pricey I would say it was worth it.  
 

I won’t be back but can heartily recommend Red Rocks to anyone who likes to hike or run in an early morning wilderness setting.  It is magnificent.  And I live next to Big Sur.

My last Vegas trip, my dad and I rented a bright green Lambo and drove it around the 13 mile stretch of Red Rocks and stopped and many of the hiking spots to switch drivers and take pics. Pretty damn fun and can’t beat the scenery.

Thank y’all. Just a short guys trip no wives - show and a good steak so I’m gonna try it. I’m old and broken down so fine with it not being crowded. Will get plenty of that at the sphere.

Mother Wolf was excellent at FB.

Did a trail ride around red rocks. It was a blast. Steak dinner after, with s'mores around a campfire. Worth it, and will do again.

Also like to get baked and watch the fountains from a balcony at Cosmo. Simple, but damn those fountains are fascinating. The engineering behind it is stunning.
