Yeah, people think gambling and buffets go together... But i'd avoid it. There is a top restaurant from well-known chefs everywhere you turn. Now, obviously don't eat expensive every time. Every casino has cheap options, too.

I've stayed at caesar's the few times i have gone. I got some great rates, and the hotel is very nice. Lots of dining options, too.

As for gambling at caesar's. Their poker room is awesome. Separated from the rest of the casino, no smoking, and well run. Even if you don't normally play poker, i would still recommend losing a little money there. They have all levels of tables. And if you are in a group, you could possibly get a table just for your guys if you have enough. It's a great way to spend some hours with your buddies, even if you lose.

Caesar's does have lots of blackjack and slot options, but on most nights their blackjack lower tables are like $25 a hand. You'd be extremely lucky to find $10 tables. So i'd recommend heading elsewhere for blackjack if you're looking for $5 tables.

Cirque shows are good. I've also seen Penn and Teller. There's a reason they have been there for so long. They are good. If you like illusion/magic stuff, they are great. they take traditional tricks, reveal how they are often done, and then do it in a whole new way that will leave you scratching your head.

Pure is at Caesar's too. Never went the times i've been, though. I'm out of my partying stage. I'd rather spend my money on good food and gambling.

As for strip clubs, don't have much to recommend on that front. the times i've gone for bachelor parties have been with guys that were pretty low-key and weren't interested. but if you ever go to new Orleans, i'll have recommendations for you then (more along the lines of where NOT to go). Don't know how the strip clubs are in vegas, but a good rule of thumb anywhere is that if a club has a drink minimum, look somewhere else. Drink minimums are a club's way of keeping you inside to drink the drink you had to pay for cause their girls are too fugly to keep you there. But all vegas strip clubs could have a drink minimum so that may not work there.
