Lol, my husband likes to play blackjack with me because he says when I have a split you can tell I hate putting more chips out!

Fremont Street light show is a must.  If you like people watching it's a must, great street shows.  They also have a couple live bands out there and more people watching.

I agree, VERY interesting people, even in the early morning on Fremont.

We were in Vegas this summer and rode in drift cars next to the Las Vegas Speedway.  It was a blast!  You ride with a professional driver and go FAST around a closed course with hairpin turns.  www.exoticsracing.com  

Edited to add, they have many options where you can drive your own exotic car etc.   I wouldn't recommend that.  If you ride with a professional driver, you go so much faster because they can actually handle a car like that.  You don't get to drive, but it is still a blast and such a rush!

 If you go you have to eat at Burgr and yes the E is left out. It is Gordon Ramsey's place in Planet Hollywood. It is hands down the most amazing burger and onion rings I have ever had. And not expensive

Yes going to this was my husband's idea, but I think I had more fun than he did:-) The driver thought it was funny when I told him to drive faster on the second lap! Super fun!

Oops meant to quote Longneck here!

hckbarrelracer - 2014-11-19 1:45 PM I like the Mirage after party..we went last year and had a good time..great concerts. Can get very packed but we went with friends and met up with more friends there. Saw alot of contestants there last year and got to meet quite a few family members of contestants. We stayed at Harrah's last year and my husband and I love to play blackjack and craps and they have alot of 5 buck tables..and bring drinks around alot. We also took in a Cirque de solieli show..Mystere..at Treasure Island. Loved it!

Do you have to be staying at the mirage to go to the rodeo vegas stuff? I looked at the website but it is not clear.   My husband suprised me last minute so we dont have tickets to the rodeo. I want to find somewhere we can eat/drink and watch the rodeo.

No, you don't. Go to the the Sports Book and they will play it on the big screen there. If you get there early enough, there is a little bar you can sit at with more comfortable chairs.
