It's wonderful.

Tacky, big, gaudy and cheap.........but FANTASTIC!!!!

You lucky thing !!! xx

he is siting in front of me watching telly i best be careful lol

Yes my advise is dont take Muffy she dribbles and take me....

YOu have a wonderful time I loved it...

Have you been Muff;s ??

Where did you stay, what did you do apart from GAMBLE?

It seems so hard to choose hotel they all look so nice

She stay in the dead rough bit ...I didnt...to eat it isnt expensive at all...there is loads to do as all the hotels are thymed but most casino look the same...there are shows ..

I got married in Las Vegas ...........almost 12 yrs ago now.

I LOVED it............sat up til the early hours with my free drinks.........you get those as long as you're on the gambling tables...........and my peaked cap.........and my ciggies and shouted RED NINE on the roulette tables lololo.

It's a great experience..........and a really fun place to go........but don't do a week............a long weekend is enough xx

*** We stayed *off the strip* as we were seriously watching our pennies in those days...........a cab to the strip only cost about 2 dollars though.........I can't remember the name of the hotel off hand but it was still nice............I'll come back to you on that one.

IF money were no object we'd have stayed at Caesars Palace......but there are so many lovely hotels it's really down to personal choice............they all look pretty much the same in the gambling bits.

As to what there is to see........MGN have a funfair.........Circus circus have a circus.......pirates have a show......it's a 24 hr place..........you'll not struggle to stay entertained.........

I did a week.............You can just even people watch without doing anything.....we stayed in the circus circus and used to watch the show whilst eatting our breaky...

Oh Muff's you got married in Vagas!

You lucky thing have you not been back since?

Hayley when did you go?

I'm going mid March what will the weather be like then

I've been 3 times in the last 12 months and going again in August for daughters 21st.
They are crying out for business right now. I was there a couple of weeks ago. Rooms costs are the lowest I've seen in the past 10 years.
(I got my nights free :))))
The MGM has a $50 per night special on.

Let me kow what you need to know.

Deb

End of Feb early march last year....and you could go out with out a cardy in your shorts most of the hotels have pools but I wasnt that brave...you may need a small jacket at night even thou its in the desert its breezy...there is a bus called the duce and you can ride the full length of the strip and back for $5 a ticket that lasts 24hrs..( it can be entertaining on there lol)

One night we eat in the Vegas Hilton I think it was $14 each ( £7.00) and it was a buffet it was one of the nicest and you get free beer and wine tea and coffee afterwards well worth it....they had everything to sausage and mash to chinese and Japanse food...

Going back for vow renewal in 3 yrs time........got married in a place that looked like a crematorium to please MIL.....I wanted to do it at the Graceland Chapel so we're going to do a re run lol....and I can't WAIT.....I love Vegas.

There is no shortage of things to do and see you'll have a blast .........I'm sooooooooooooo Jealous !!!!!!!!

I was just about to say ask Debs she knows the place like the palm of her hand...lol

Ok Deb, I priced up with Virgin holidays today. Bellegio hotel 13th-17th £1,400. same thing for £1,290 with someone else still virgin flights.

wynn, £1,404.

I am not sure between Bellagio, wynn, mirage, do you know any of these?

LOL Hayley, I don't know if that's a good or bad thing :)

It is best to book online as it is the cheapest way to go.

There are two main "property holders" down there.

One is the MGM group (MGM, Mirage, NY NY, etc) the other one has Flamingo, Carears, Paris etc.
Subscribe to both their mailing lists. One hotel from each group will do, they will send info on all the hotels.

They have a deal at the Excaliber right now. $25 for food all day. breakfast, lunch and dinner at the buffet I think. Customer service at the hotel can fill you in on the details. It has been years since I ate at the Excaliber.

There is a little burger place on the east side of the Strip just up from the Coke bottle and M&M World called "Fat Burger". It is a little hole in the wall but the burgers are great.

I love la mirage................we had our wedding breakfast there.

It's not a *naff* hotel........it's one of the posher ones.......or at least it was 12 yrs ago lol xx

Can you just walk in to any hotel are there any good shows etc are they expensive?

Yeah Muff the Mirage has the best beds lol
