11 Outrageous Things You Can Do In Vegas With 500 Dollars

Slone Terranella April 29th

We’re giving you the chance to Win Thump’s Money!

Our annual cash contest is back, and DJ Thump is making it rain across the valley.

You probably like extra cash, especially when all you have to do is listen to Jammin’ 105.7 to win it.

Of course many of us need to pay bills (maybe a few traffic tickets, too). But if we didn’t have these mundane financial responsibilities, how would you spend $500 in an outrageous manner?

Our town isn’t known for its subdue nature. In fact, Sin City is associated with bright lights, gaudiness and indulgence. So if you’re a local who won our cash contest, we have the perfect list for you.

Vegas is a city of excess, which means there are endless things to spend your money on. Our city offers some of the most luxurious experiences revolving everything and anything.

As a local, the “amazing” things about Vegas quickly become a part of our everyday life. However, there are still some experiences that many of us haven’t participated in.

Here are 11 things you can do with an extra $500 in your pocket that are simply out of the box, unique and fun!

  • Have A Dinner For One At Joël Robuchon

    It’s one of the most expensive and exclusive restaurants in Vegas. According to MGMResorts.com, guests can expect to pay nearly $500 per person at Joël Robuchon, which is located inside of The Mansion at MGM Grand.

    The $500 goes toward a 16-course tasting menu and that doesn’t include wine pairings.

  • Jump Off The Strat

    Have you ever wanted to jump off The Strat? SkyJump is an open-air leap that holds the Guinness World Record for “highest commercial decelerator descent facility.”

    You start at the top of The Strat and end at the bottom, with a harness and a bungee cord saving you from imminent danger.

  • Have A Fake Wedding At The Little Vegas Chapel

    Maybe you want to marry a friend as a “joke,” or maybe you’re not ready to be legally married on paper. No matter what your purpose is, Vegas gives you the opportunity to have a fake wedding.

    Instead of being pronounced as married, you’ll be pronounces as a “committed couple.”

    The most expensive package will cost almost $500 and includes a limo pick-up, photographers, bouquets and a wedding coordinator!

    Pretend weddings are performed with many similarities to an actual Vegas wedding! They are perfect for those who want to express their love for one another without making the ultimate commitment of marriage.

  • Drive A Luxury Car At SpeedVegas

    SpeedVegas Motorsports Park gives any car-crazy individual the chance to drive expensive and exotic cars that we can only dream about owning. The racetrack offers anything from Ferraris to Lamborghinis, Porsches and McLarens. But this experience doesn’t come without a pretty hefty price tag.

    Few things are better than doing nothing. Add a calming salt room into the mix, and your day of “doing nothing” will turn into a day filled with relaxation and pure Zen.

    $500 will give you nearly an unlimited amount of time in the sodium-filled room!

  • Get a 24 karat gold facial

    The Cleopatra Golden Goddess Facial at Qua Baths & Spas at Caesars Palace will encapsulate your face in a mask that’s made from real gold! Excessive and slightly gaudy — definitely yes.
