Goodluck either way
I'm with ***** on this one. Guys remember he's talking about coilover money. He's not going to go to any great restaurants, good nightlife, nice hotels, much less a spa on coilover money.

Now... if you were just going with a few buddies, each get a call girl, rotate through them all while passing around a bottle of Jack in a cheap hotel room only to later go to a hole in the wall bar to troll for easy women untill you get too drunk, thrown out, or just pass out then I'd say..... GO FOR IT!

It's not like the Hangover movie and unless your like LIQUID SC who can probably do a lot on a little in Vegas then Vegas will own you not the other way around.

But if you do go pour out a little brew for ClubLex homie. hehe

This is the reality of Vegas. I was lucky when I lived there. I did a lot of work for casinos and they would hook me up with free tables and bottle service.

It's fun when you have your own space to hang out with your friends. If you don't have a table (about $1000), you're usually packed in on the main floor. It's too loud to talk. People are constantly bumping into you spilling your drink. And you have next to no chance of getting any ***. The guys with tables are inviting the girls over for free drinks. Hard to compete with that.

In the meantime, you're stuck paying $20 a drink and cruising the dance floor with a bunch of dudes hoping maybe a drunk fat chick will let you rub up against her.

In my opinion, you either need a lot of money, connections, or low expectations to have fun in Vegas. Then again, I was spoiled, so my perspective is a little skewed.

Vegas is a good time, but you'll spend more money then you think you will

If you go to vegas check out sunbuggy fun rentals, those things are awesome.

And when you financially recover, PM us and we'll get you a good deal on coilovers

^ lol thanx.

Jeeze, after all the responses I am no closer to deciding. How bout any input on the coils I'm contemplating? If they're crap then I'll go to Vegas. If you guys think I should jump on them then I will.
Here's a link to them: http://www.rhdjapan.com/racing-gear-...l-uppers-58599
..a guy local to me is selling a set with 6K miles on them for $1200. Worried they wont be around if I go to Vegas and try to save up for them later.

The way it works like this is you wont be always able to go to vegas with buddies, I am at the stage in my life where I enjoy every night of hanging out with the buddies I can.

Notice on the first page you gave a thumbs down about the GF experience and going to Vegas, well here is where you redeem yourself. Coils can always be had.

The coilovers you linked look waaaayyy overpriced for what they are. I have never even heard of them, I'd stick with what people use on here and has a track record of success.

Don't get your hopes up, you might have to sell your car if you gamble yourself into a hole.

This is probably why my opinion differs from all of you guys voting for Vegas.

I spent all of my teens and most of my twenties hanging out and partying and doing all that nonsense and I am tired of it.

Wish I never wasted to much time on others and hanging out and stuff.

Vegas does not appeal to me at all---again I would say get the coils----or get yourself something nice whatever it may be------

You can sit back with a big smile when all your friends are telling you how much money they wasted at vegas ---and how all they did was get drunk and act a fool.

If your gonna blow money at least blow it on something you'll have for awhile.

My friends go out every weekend and they are pretty big spenders. I usually choose to stay in and save for parts or whatnot. Ive never regretted it cause they never remember what they did that weekend anyways lol Personally id rather have material goods over vague memories

Or you might lose a lot of money and not be able to do anything to your car at all. Lol. I'm just saying. Vegas is okay depending on how long you go. It gets kinda old after the 3rd day. I went for a week and i'll never do that again. Everything was too damn expensive. For the price of 3 individual beers there, i could of bought a case elsewhere.
