About to turn 49 and spending Bday in Las Vegas.

1. Shows and lots of food. Drive a race car, take a tour, see the Canyon or the Dam. High Roller at the Linc, see the view from Paris hotel, see the conservatory at Bellagio and the fountain show. Head to old Vegas and zip line, throw axes and see the Container Park and then watch Alter Ego play – they’re a great cover band.

2. The [Neon Museum](https://www.neonmuseum.org/) is a fun nighttime visit.

   For an excellent dinner that won’t break the bank, I recommend [Chubby Cattle](https://www.chubbycattle.com/chubby-cattle-las-vegas/) hot pot. It’s my wife’s favorite.

3. The Mobster Museum is fun and has a great speakeasy in the basement.

   The Pinball Hall of Fame is great if you like pinball.

   Sakana for all-you-can-eat sushi that’s quite good.

   Lolo’s Chicken and Waffles is great eats and they have Kool-aid on tap!

4. See adele

5. The mob museum with the speakeasy for moonshine is fun.

6. Top Golf is really fun. A day trip out to Primm to ride sketchy coasters

7. Shin Lim at the Mirage is an amazing show, and his partner Colin Cloud is a strong opening act.

8. I loved the show Absinthe

9. Rent a sports car and take a scenic drive to, and through, the [valley of fire](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_Fire_State_Park). It’s definitely worth the trip.

10. Smash a bunch of stuff at the Wreck Room. Always a great start to any vacation in LV.

11. Find weird small shows. One of the best things I went to was a small stage live Evil Dead performance. They sprayed the audience with disappearing blood at the end of it. Was a blast.

12. Shoot some zombies (outbreak: origins)in the virtual reality room at MGM
