I understand those 2 point of view about bringing wife to bling bling for her b-day, but Robbie's advice was not THAT bad to deserve such a bashing.
After all to avoid tourist traps is universal advice for any traveler worldwide.
I wouldn't call it 'ripping apart'. I'd call it respectfully disagreeing.

The OP's situation needs to play a part in the suggestions. Robbie is suggesting things that a local might do, not what a first time visitor to Vegas on his wifes 40th birthday would want to do.

I mean Boulder Hwy? Give me a break.

Theres also a difference between cool/iconic and just cheap disgusting. Double Down and Atomic are in the former. Riviera, LVH and Boulder Hwy are in the latter.

And lastly, I guess he just hit a pet peeve of mine when it comes to comparing drink prices. Sure you can get a $2 screwdriver at Riviera and that same screwdriver will run you $10 at Aria. Hell that same screwdriver will run you $14 at The Rhino. If you're only drinking on price why not just stay home? You're visiting Vegas. Great off the hidden path bars with cheap drinks are one thing, disgusting shit holes just so you can save a few bucks are another.
