16. Casino Perfume
To test your luck, there is Trilenium which is afloat on the outskirts of Tigre
with three floors of roulette, blackjack, and slot machines. In case of a windfall,
take a walk around the disco on the boat's second floor to feel like Tom Jones
for a night.

17. Golf at the Driving Range
The Buenos Aires golf course is a fantastic place to see that Tiger Woods is not the only man with talent.

18. Cult Disco
For those that still believe in album covers, it is essential to visit Pid
Morales, Rock n' Freud, Kompacta or Abraxas. From that pirated copy of Roxy Music to the last recording of Gorky's Zygotic Mynic, you will find all that you seek.

19. Jump!
If you have always dreamt about flying, but never had the chance to actually do it when you were awake, now you have your chance. Just a half an hour from Buenos Aires, there is a Parachuting Center that is open seven days a week. There are jumps for first-timers, so you do not have any excuses.

20. Mondays at Le Cigale
A favorite of Inrockuptibles magazine, this place is classically cosmopolitan
with DJ's, a dance floor, and foreigners with a certain French peacefulness and ennui. When it's time for that first drink, try the Pastis or the Kir.

24. Play the Game Truco
Borges, who was not all that interested in games, other than those with words,
approved of Truco for its combination of luck and cleverness. An intuitive
sport of Argentines, it can be played in a town square, at your grandparent's
home, or on a long bus ride, without risk of personal injury.
25. Those Crazy Nights
At the corner of Bilinghurst and Cordoba, exists the legendary brothel where the famous Alberto Olmedo once frequented.
