Or, Top 10 Ways To Puke Without Alcohol
1. X-Scream, Stratosphere. Anything at the Stratosphere, actually. Either that or you’ll be sick because of how much everything costs there. Nothing like 850 feet of air between you and the ground.
2. Swinging Chairs. Stratosphere. Same idea. Bring Dramamine.
3. Big Shot. Stratosphere. Reverse bungee. 4 Gs. Enough said.
4. AJ Hacket’s Bungee. Circus Circus. Not reverse, straight down. Over concrete or over water. Your choice.
5. Fly-Away. Convention Center. Free falling over a giant fan. What could go wrong?
6. Speed, the Ride. Sahara. I wanna go fast! And then I wanna go fast backwards!
7. Speedworld. Sahara. Motion sickness again. 3D motion simulators. Racecar. Sort of real feelin’.
8. Manhattan Express. New York New York. When your heart comes out of your mouth, don’t panic. The G forces will soon push it back down.
9. Desperado. Buffalo Bill’s Casino. Primm, NV. 90 friggin miles per hour.
10. Canyon Blaster. Circus Circus Adventuredome. Pure, unadulterated fun.

Running low on cash? Yeah, Vegas is sort of designed to make that happen. At least the town isn’t totally heartless. The food and booze remain pretty cheap.
Here’s a list of some of the cheapest joints on or near the strip. Just remember, you get what you pay for.
1. Fiesta Rancho – Cheap and meaty buffet.
2. Sahara’s buffet – cheapest on the strip.
3. Deli at Golden Gate – 99-cent shrimp cocktail.
4. Slots-a-Fun – Yeah, sounds like a high-class establishment right? Well, at least they got hot dogs, (disappointing) pizza and cheap beer. Bon appetite.
5. The Sourdough Cafe – Steak and eggs, $2.99. What can you say?
6. Binion’s – After 11 PM, steak and lobster for $12.
7. California – decked out prime rib dinner with dessert–$10.
8. Ellis Island - $6.99 steak special. They try to hide it by not putting it on the menu. Ask ‘em about it.
9. Gold Rush – Kind of far away…you’ll need your car if you didn’t lose it. $2 steak and eggs.
10. Klondike – Mmmmm, cheap spaghetti.
Bonus: Wildfire – Breakfast $2. Lunch $3.
