here is my 2 pieces of advice to you...do both and you will thank me when you get back...

GO SEE MYSTERE at TI...its the cirque de soleil show...tickets are $100 apiece...its worth it...was the best money ive ever spent in my life...the shit those people do are mindboggling....its supposed to be a story or some shit...forget trying to understand it...just sit there in amazement...i thought this show was much better than O at bellagio

if you wanna take her to a nice place for a few drinks go to MIX at the top of THEHOTEL at mandalay bay...its an ultra lounge...its not clubby and not loud...go there for a few hours...have a few drinks...you can sit outside in little seats and its the best view in vegas...no one bothers you...drinks are expensive but its well worth it...

delmonico's at the venetian is a nice place to eat if you like steaks, service is top notch but there are tons of nice places to eat in vegas so....

Personally I thought "O" at Bellagio was a little better. I haven't seen Zumanity at NYNY yet but a friend of mine said it was great to take your chick to...

Which Cirque de soleil on is better TI or Bellagio?

Seen both but for me "O" at the Bellagio is my favorite. Both are great though but see "O" if you have to make a choice.

Harrington, I don't know how old you are, but the Beatles show "LOVE" at the Mirage is excellent. Good Luck

my opinion is wynn is the top place and if you got money to blow your wife will love it there. The only thing about the wynn is it is at one end of the strip. bellagio would have to be second choice but could easily be first choice. Plus the bellagio is right in the center of the strip walking distance to all casinos.

1) wynn or bellagio
2) venetian, mirage
3) ceasars, mandalay

Slim,

The Hotel is probably my favorite and most people I"ve talked to don't even know it's back there.... great rooms, quick valet and only a short walk from the casino.

Wife and I stay at "The Hotel" regularly, and we live in Vegas. All suites, two plasma TV's, nice living room, even have a LCD TV in bathroom. Easy Valet and nice to be away from the Casino, yet very easy access. Close to sportsbook and poker room too.

Harrington, if you've never been to Vegas and price is no issue, you probably won't go wrong at Wynn. They have good restaurants there and I hear the rooms are great. It is at the north end of the strip so you will have a good walk to Bellagio, but between Mirage and Wynn are Venitian, Caesars, Mirage, TI, and Fashion Show Mall is across the street from Wynn. Mirage, NYNY, Mandalay Bay are definitely a Taxi ride.

I suggest taking the wife to Mix, a lounge at the top of "The Hotel" at Mandalay Bay, best view of LV and great outdoor patio. Tons of great restaurants near your location, in fact the steakhouse in Wynn was just voted the best steakhouse in LV by some local rag. there is a good thai restaurant in Wynn too. Other great restaurants nearby are Boa, Roku (sushi), Olive, Delmonico, Prime, Joe's Steak and Crab, Spago (good for lunch if the wife is shopping), Michaels if you want to spend $$$$$, Social House at TI is excellent food too. Two restaurants to avoid, Fix (Bellagio) and Stack (Mirage)....lots of poser wannabes, average food, and shit service.

And don't forget to stop in and say hi to Green Doberman at I.P. Have fun!
