Vientiane travelogue picture
Its a relatively small city compare to any town in Thailand. You would be able to cover the main city attraction by renting a bicycle. I did the city in about 7 hours before departing to Luang Phrabang.

Favourite spots:

Patuxai which resembles the Arc De Triumphe of Paris and Phat Tha Lung which is one of the most important monument in Vientaine

What's really great:

Easy to go around, there is a very good walk on the Laos Lonely Planet. This will about 40mins walk.

Accommodations:

I did not put up a night in Vientaine after arriving from Nong Khai, I bought an airticket from Lao Aviation office in Vientaine and did a day trip around the city with a rented bicycle. I left my luggage in the airline office which was quite safe.

Hangouts:
Can someone teach me how to remove this, I have got nothing about pubs in Vientaine.
