Las Vegas - Main Las Vegas bulletin boards/web sites for tourists?

What are the links (for tourists) to the main bulletin boards, and web sites, dealing with Las Vegas?

Two that quickly come to mind:

www.cheapovegas.com for tongue-in-cheek reviews of all LV hotels/casinos/buffets.

http://www.fatwallet.com/t/63/483868/ for a quick summary of most current hotel promos.

A search for certain keywords in this forum may uncover other useful links, depending on what you're looking for.

I did a search function using the terms discussion boards, and also bulletin boards (putting the word "AND" between the 2 words) - no luck!

I like www.travel2vegas.com, that's worth checking out. Also, look at www.ratevegas.com and www.vegastripping.com. They are all useful in their own way, I think.

Las Vegas Talk is the most active forum on Vegas I know of:

http://lasvegastalk.com/

Affiliated with Lasvegastalk is A2ZLasvegas.com. They've got lots of reviews and trip reports:

http://www.a2zlasvegas.com/

Las Vegas Advisor has some good, free info, though the subscription is worthwhile if you can use the included coupons:

http://www.lasvegasadvisor.com/

I've started reading an LA Times blog on Las Vegas that's pretty good:

I like www.travel2vegas.com, that's worth checking out.this site has been changed to www.vegasmessageboard.com/forums/

Quick question--if there is a special that is titled a so-called "email special" (like the current one up there from Bally's) can anyone use the link? Will they know whether you really -received- the email from them?

Generally, I believe the answer to this is yes, you can use the link. What would they do - ask you to produce a printed copy of the email at check-in? You could tell them (truthfully) that a friend received the email and passed the info on to you.

I think the only way an email special could be truly restricted would be if every individual recepient got their own unique code.

Las Vegas Advisor is my personal favorite.

There's a good deal of Las Vegas restuarant talk at the Chowhound Southwest board:

For hotel reviews, I like using tripadvisor.
http://www.tripadvisor.com/

I think the only way an email special could be truly restricted would be if every individual recepient got their own unique code.Which does happen periodically with some of the emails I get, but most of them are public access if you have the appropriate link.

Las Vegas Trip Report http://www.lasvegastripreport.com/ is a pretty interesting site. (It is connected, or at least used to, to LVTALK).

Do any web sites or discussion boards have links to the web sites of the main tour companies offering Grand Canyon tours. The last post has a link to one such company.
