Ask any of us to name a couple of our favorite things and I'll bet you a classic Favre Packer's jersey that "Food" and "Really Hot Chicks" land in the top three or four on most guys' lists. (We're easy to please.) And since Las Vegas is packed to the crystal-chandeliered rafters with both, I asked Courtney Mills from BestofVegas.com for a list of places where a guy could go to get good food and really hot chicks in one location. And she came up with five of the best - along with links for more info, just in case you get tired of the ensuing winter weather - and its bundled up women - and need a skin-baring break in the desert.

Cat House
The CatHouse at the Luxor is modeled after a 19th century bordello, serves some of the best food in Vegas, and has lingerie-clad ladies that'll wait on you hand-and-foot to make sure that you leave full. And satisfied. The menu includes Maine lobster tail, prime rib, oysters, and more. Late night, after the restaurant closes, it turns into one of the best ultra-lounges in town.
BONUS: Live vanity stations are scattered throughout the club where you can watch the ladies in lingerie getting ready for the night.

Hawaiian Tropic Zone
Hawaiian Tropic Zone is an indoor beach party with island music, tiki torches, and world famous food by Chef David Burke. And hottest waitresses on the strip - bikini-clad models who wait on your table and strut their stuff on the built-in catwalk runway throughout the restaurant. Located in ...More

I just got back from the Las Vegas bachelor weekend TravelWorm.com put together for me and my buddies, and I am tore up from the floor up. We were full throttle for two days. And it's gonna take another couple of days before I fully recover.

Since I firmly believe all guys should have the opportunity to party like we did, TravelWorm has agreed to let one lucky reader, and three luckier friends, experience it for themselves. Yup. They are giving away a trip for four to hit Las Vegas and experience the weekend we just did. (Bail money not included.) Here's how our weekend went, and what you can expect if you win:

Flight:
My buddies John, Josh, Andy and I boarded US Air flight 531 non-stop from Ft. Lauderdale. A friend of one of my buddies, Jason, happened to be on the flight, headed to Vegas on "business". There was no business conducted that weekend. His bosses are gonna be pissed.

For our winner, TravelWorm is going to cover round trip airfare for you and three friends to Vegas from anywhere in the continental US.

Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino:
Newly built, and conveniently located nearly dead-center on the Strip, they did everything right when they designed this place. Upscale, with a retro-modern look that pays tribute to Vegas of old, it's got everything you'll need in one location. With some pretty good celeb spotting too. (We ran into ...More

Between all the gambling and drinking and partying that goes on in Vegas, you've gotta fuel back up for the next round. And there's no better bang for the buck than the infamous Sin City buffets.

Started as a way to lure gamblers away from the tables, these extravagant (that word gets used a lot when talking about Vegas), and overstuffed buffets are now attractions in their own right. Since we'll need plenty of refueling this weekend, the guys over at TravelWorm.com offered their top 10 favorite places to expand your waistline.

1. Paris Hotel & Casino Le Village Buffet
Set inside a remarkable French Village setting, this buffet takes Las Vegas dining to a new level. Featuring live-action stations & dishes cooked to order, this buffet brings French culinary to life with its expertise and visual attention to detail.

2. Rio Suites Hotel & Casino Carnival World & Village Seafood Buffets
These buffets are often voted by locals as the best in town. Both concepts were the first of their kind. Carnival World was first to offer fare from around the globe, which is now industry standard, and Village Seafood was first to offer quality seafood dishes.

3. Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino Spice Market Buffet
With its combination of American traditional, authentic Middle Eastern, original seafood dishes - rounding out the diversity with quality sushi - ...More

Vegas may be known for gambling and nightlife, but during the early part of the day, when you're shaking off the effects of the night before, a little "hair of the dog" while sitting pool-side helps recharge the batteries for the night to come. (The scenery doesn't hurt either.)

And just as the casino owners spend huge amounts of money building extravagant hotels, they also spend armored-car loads to create extravagant pools as well. (Shark tanks and three-story high water slides, anyone?)

Since I'll be heading to Vegas with TravelWorm.com this weekend, I asked them what their top 10 favorite Vegas pools are. Just in case I need to spend some time recharging. And taking in the scenery.

Their choices made the cut based on four criteria: Aesthetics, Exclusivity, VIP treatment, and Amount of bells and whistles. ...More

Planning a bachelor party in Las Vegas can send even the most confident best man into a cold sweat. This is the day the group will talk about for years to come, and the soon-to-be-ex-bachelor will remember for the rest of his life. This is a big job for the best man and defacto party planner, and the pressure is on.

As Vegas’ premier five-star host and concierge service, I've created some of the most memorable bachelor party experiences this town has ever seen. Here are eight key things to consider before planning the groom's last hurrah of singledom.

1 - Determine What and How Many
While this seems obvious, and as much as you may want to surprise (or shock) the groom at every turn, it's always advisable to check with him to find out what he does - and doesn't - want to do. The groom also knows the others attending the bachelor party best, and can help ensure the trip is enjoyable for all. Work with him to determine how many guys are going to come out and who will partake in what activity.

2 - If You Fail to Plan – You Plan to Fail
Las Vegas is the number one spot on the planet to hold a bachelor party weekend and, with over a half-a-million visitors each weekend, it's not a town for spontaneity. If you don't plan your activities well beforehand, there's a chance you'll be shut out. ...More

Sin City is, for the most part, an "anything goes" town. You can get away with stuff there you would never dream of doing at home.

But the casino floor is a different story. They are vastly structured environments with a litany of unwritten rules. You won’t find them posted on any warning signs, but committing what a casino considers an “offense” will set you on the fast track to the exit door. Quite possibly headfirst. And airborne.

With ceiling cameras recording your every move, and security guards and pit bosses constantly on the lookout, I turned to the "Ultimate Las Vegas Insider", Steve Striker, to find out what could get you bounced. Or worse, blacklisted.

1 - Swearing at the Poker Table
Losing or getting a "Bad-Beat" at the poker table can be understandably frustrating, but dropping F-Bombs at other players, the casino staff, or even audibly to yourself will get you a royal flush out the door.

2 - Touching Anyone Else's Chips
That's even if the chips belong to your best friend, who is playing at the same table, and it's OK with him. The pit boss doesn't care. A move towards any chips other than your own is treated as intent to steal. And stealing, Mr. Ocean, is bad.

Just in case Google wins the bidding war to buy your social networking startup, I asked Steve Striker, "The Ultimate Las Vegas Insider" and CEO of Striker VIP, a five-star concierge service for those seeking access into Las Vegas' notorious inner circle, for a few examples of what those with bankroll to spare spend it on when they hit Sin City.

According to Striker, you'll know you’re a real Vegas high roller when...

Gambling and superstitions about luck go hand in hand. Lucky shirts. Hot streaks. Coolers. Jinxes. Beautiful girls blowing on your dice. So it's no surprise that Vegas casinos have been prepping for the crush of gamblers looking for a little extra luck to hit the town next month, on is what is being called the "Luckiest Day of the Century": 07-07-07. ...More
