Ok Dancer,
I'll steer you from here.
After you check in and prep yourself, head into the bar and order something from one of the cuties. As you enjoy it, take in the scene. Do a nice 360. If it is early evening it should be pretty nice and it is up to you to begin your interview process and getting to know the locals. Its a safe place and many pleasant people will be hanging about.
If you get there early in the day, you can make the walk down the street to Zona Blue or New Fantasy. Both with get you started right. Usually SL doesn't start hopping 'till 5 or 6, so you have some time to kill.
And if you are there on a Fri or Sat it is worth window shopping the Del Rey just for the whole eye candy aspect of it all. That is a good place to have a wingman though.
Good luck and post a trip report!
