Hi Deb yes got your pm thanks.

Hello to everyine else. Im still looking.

Can i ask what did you think of strat

I wouldn't stay at the Stratosphere to be honest - too far from the main attractions for me particularly if you're staying just for 4 days. I don't like the area as much as the other end . Others may disagree.

Edit : Forgot to say My friend stayed there and liked it. You would need to get the monorail or Deuce (bus) if you wanted to see the other side of the strip as I think you would lose too much time walking down to Bellagio, Paris etc

we went to see a show at the strat..

This site gives you opening times/prices of Las Vegas attractions which you may find useful:

I've stayed at the Excalibur and The Aladdin (now Planet Hollywood- had a great view), The Luxor & I am staying at the MGM this time :-)

The Excalibur is usually a more reasonable price for that part of the strip, it is older and less fancy but I still quite like the atmosphere in there.

Ah Thankyou i just cant decide which one

The Deuce as SRS said is great. It costs $2 for a single ride or $5 for a 24 hour ticket.

Don't forget to go to Freemont Street (the Deuce goes there) to see the light show.
Right now (or 2 weeks ago) it was Queen "We will rock you", and Don McLeans "American Pie" We only stayed for the American Pie show as we had seen the Queen one during the summer.

I wouldn't stay at the Stratosphere as it is too far away from the main action on the strip. The rides ontop of the tower are good If you are into that kind of thing. Daughter has been on them.

The Rio is off the strip, but a free shuttle runs every half hour from the Paris.

SRS when are you going?
We are going in August and will probably stay at the MGM again or the Mirage as they have offered me a great deal.

Hi Deb, we're going in March at the MGM, got a really great deal in the Expedia Sale lol

I liked Freemont street but would probably avoid weekends if possible as it is a little more rowdy. I didn't feel as secure in Freemont Street so I wouldn't wander off the main part at night. We tend to watch the earlier shows and then take the Deuce back. It is worth going if you haven't been before.

I've heard the Rio only do evening shows so I've heard. My parents went in September and says it is less carnival and a little more raunchy these days. I think the floats are fantastic that go around the ceiling....

I also like to see the show at Sam's town - Is it called the Sunset Serenade? They have free shuttles to Sam's town because it's off the strip. I don't know whether Irish girl will be able to fit it in though lol

oh tell me the ones not to miss it will prob be my only time there as i like to try different places.

By the way i wont be bringing loads of money honest
