If you can't spend the cash to get the highly sought Wrangler NFR tickets, watch along with TV screens at South Point. There are more cowboy hats, hot cowgirls and Texans here than you can stuff into a rodeo clown barrel.

South Point is quickly beoming a favorite of the "Boy Named Sue" set. Right now, the equestrian is hosting the World Series of Team Roping, and best of all, the series is free to the public. When you get there, you can see all of the horse trailers in the parking lot.

Horse trailers are the norm int eh parking lot of recently renamed Vegas Casino South Point (South Coast).

Not going to be in Vegas for the NFR or don't feel like navigating the crowds? Catch the action on ESPN 360.

Casa Fuente Rolls Comic Relief

I love Casa Fuente at the Forum Shops at Caesars. The cigars rock and the mojitos are as tasty as the ladies who bring everything to you while you chill and smoke a stogie and relax. It's 100% Vegas and one hell of a way to spend the afternoon. Fuente Cigars is bringing in one of their expert hand-roller to make special cigars for the Comic Relief comedians. These are the real deal and will be given in a special humidipak that must age to perfection for six months.

VEGAS VIP: How to Be a Vegas VIP With Jack Colton

(We thought you'd enjoy this guide on how to roll like a superstar in Sin City.)

Being considered a "VIP" in a Las Vegas nightclub means something entirely different to almost anyone looking to feel like they are more important than the average person. While some will leave with stars in their eyes if a street promoter handed them a pass allowing them to skip the line, most won't settle for anything less than a night filled with limousines, beautiful women, and at least more than one bottle of expensive liquor served at a private booth at one of the top nightclubs that Las Vegas has to offer.

Celebrity VIP status is a whole different story. Madonna reportedly demanded that Tao tape up all of the air ducts at her after party so that the air conditioning wouldn't damage her voice in any way. Paris Hilton refuses to walk around the club unless she is flanked by at least 3 large security guards. Stars like Ashlee Simpson, Denise Richards and Carmen Electra will often rake in six figure paychecks just to show up and have their picture taken partying inside Las Vegas mega clubs. Regardless of who you are, or how much of the coveted VIP lifestyle you are looking to obtain, Las Vegas is a city where anyone can live a lifestyle fit only for royalty aslong as they know what they are doing anddon't mind spending a little extra money to get it.

Do Your Research and Ignore Advertisements
There are plenty of places in Las Vegas that a true VIP wouldn't be caught dead being seen inside, and all too often these are the nightclubs that will spend the most money trying to convince you that their venue is the hottest celebrity-filled nightlife spot on the planet. While reading about special events going on around town is a great way to make sure that you aren't going to miss out on an internationally known DJ or clothing line launch party, keep in mind that just because a magazine or flyer "says" somewhere is the place to be - doesn't mean that you won't be the only one inside once you pass through the velvet ropes. If you aren't completely familiar with Las Vegas nightclubs, you should always ask around for unbiased opinions from people with similar tastes as yours, who have had a great time at the clubs they are recommending, and who have absolutely nothing to gain by sending you to them.

Don't Ride in Taxi Cabs
There probably isn't a city in the world with as many limousines eagerly awaiting to take you to your destination in style as there are absolutely everywhere you look in Las Vegas. There are rows of them waiting at the airport, hundreds more of them a phone call away, and not a minute will pass by without you seeing at least one or two drive through a casino valet. You can easily reserve chauffeured transportation in advance, or simply walk up to the bellman in front of any major Las Vegas resort and ask them if there are any limousines on stand-by. This way you should be able to fit all of your party in one car, and might even save a little money in the process.

Always Bottle Service
Reserving bottle service at a Las Vegas nightclub guarantees that you won't have to wait in line on the way in, that you will have a place to sit down and always have a drink in your hand without having to fight for it at a crowded bar. Having bottle service also offers you a private security guard, and helps to lessen the chance of you spilling an entire drink all over yourself because someone bumped into you on the way back from the dance floor. If you are looking to be VIP, this is a must.

Never Wait in Line
If you have reserved bottle service at a Las Vegas nightclub in advance, your party will be able to walk right up to the reservation area without waiting hours in line. If you didn't, you still shouldn't waste your valuable time staring at the back of someone's head outside all of the action. Work your way to the front of the line...
