Planning to go to Vegas in a few weeks. Going Tuesday-Friday to avoid crowds and higher weekend prices.
Looking for tips, either on how to save money or how to get the best value. Also, what's the one thing we shouldn't leave Vegas without doing/seeing? -------------------- Forget regret

Ok so Vegas is out because we are too poor. New destination: Austin. So for those of you from there/living there now - entertainment suggestions? We will be there for spring break, so definitely will do 6th Street. What about food? Preferably something local, but not too bizarre...
PS - mods can split into separate threads if you want. Just thought I'd conserve space. -------------------- Forget regret

Just thought I'd conserve space. Food wise, I've got you covered. If you are downtown there are few quirky places in east Austin that serve amazing food. El Chile, El Chilito (owned by El Chile but more of a fast option), Eastside Cafe, and Juan In A Million (bring cash). Of course there is Stubb's downtown. I am not a big fan of their BBQ but it's decent and always good for a show. If you like beer and/or German food, check out Scholz Garten. When you're out on 6th Street go get a Wurst from Best Wurst. I prefer to stay off of 6th street and go to some of the side street bars. They are a little less crowded and there is usually a better selection of beers at some of them. If you are up for a drive, head to Taylor, TX (northeast of Austin by 15-20 minutes) and eat at Louie Mueller BBQ. This is considered some of the best food in Texas and if you don't get there before 2:30pm there is no food left and they close. As far as things to do, there is tons. So do a little searching and you will find a lot of stuff. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
