Couple bits of first time advice requested

Coming to Vegas beginning of April for a bachelor party (this can't end well).

I can't be bothered with a rental car, so I'm just going to arrange a limo service from the airport. I hate standing in line, so who is the best / most reasonable service for this? I'm travelling with a friend of mine; don't think anyone else will be with us. Should I arrange the same service to return to the airport later or just grab whatever at the hotel?

The hotel is Treasure Island booked on some kind of "friends" connection (I'm not handling this). Anything of interest I should konw about that place? How do I get an upgraded room and annoy the rest of the members in my party?

Evening festivities are apparently taken care of, so I just need to know where to eat lunch on Saturday (Sunday will be en route back home). Any suggestions? I'm not really the fine dining type; I'm equally as happy with mid range restaurants like Olive Garden or Outback as anything more serious.

Yes - there are lots of nice casinos all around it.

I don't honestly know all the room types they offer, but check out their website and know what's possible. i'm guessing TI will be receptive to a nice tip at check in...

If you eat at Olive Garden or Outback while in Vegas I will never speak with you again.

exit door number 8 at the airport and there are multiple limo services to choose from and can negotiate a rate. If you really want one waiting for you reserve in advance with outfits like CLS or Bells Trans.

As for lunch, the Fashion show mall has a food court and some restaurants or Mirage has Carnegie Deli And other casual restaurants. Both are next to Treasure Island to the north and south respectively. Enjoy your stay.

LOL - I wasn't planning to; I was trying to frame my culinary preferences (or lack thereof, I am aware this should be slightly embarrassing but don't really care).

Presidential Limo charges $59 for an airport transfer (I know because I picked up their discarded bill from the floor). You need to book in advance to bask in the LV limo experience including the driver meeting your flight with your name on a little sign, then down an elevator to Zero Level, the special limo-only staging area.

Cost anything extra to book it in advance?
