    Hi Guys,

    Off to Vegas in October and it's slightly daunting to see so much info to read through!

    If you could choose one and only one tourist attraction to do while in Vegas what would it be??

    e.g Canyon, Hoover Dam, "Love" Show or maybe eat at a certain restaurant, etc etc

    Look forward to seeing the replies............

    I just love the Bellagio fountains, when I watch them I beam from ear to ear and thank my lucky stars I'm there again.
    Don't wait for your ship to come in, swim out to it.
  • Hello,

    I've bought 2 x $25 for quite a few places, on the thinking of using them both together - have now read the t&c's and realise i cant do this doh!

    My inlaws are in Vegas for 2 weeks over the time we are there - im I ok to give to them to use? e.g. if they use one $25 at Pink Taco, say 1st of September, will we be ok to use the 2nd $25 voucher on the 6th of September?

    I know a few say 1 per month per customer - just never used before so not sure how it links up really.

    Any advice appreciated :)

    $69 -- Unlimited 7-Day Pass to Universal Studios Hollywood* newnew.gif?2KD7NVFA
    By Jonathan Jones
    Travelzoo Staff, Chicago
    For just $69 per person, take some time to explore Universal Studios Hollywood with unlimited entry for seven consecutive days this year.
    With a Universal Studios Hollywood two-day ticket selling for $69, this offer gives visitors five days for free. Use the additional days to take advantage of the following attractions:
    • Studio tour
    • Simpsons ride
    • Revenge of the Mummy - The Ride
    • King Kong 360 3-D, coming this summer
    This is the best offer available for this park, but it could be pulled from the market at any time. Our research shows this weeklong-pass offer is even cheaper than a Disneyland one-day Park Hopper Pass.
    this seems fantastic value!

    I don't think it would work. The restaurant calls the number on the certificate to get it validated and gives the voucher number which I would think would be tied back to you/your account. I think (though could be wrong) that if your in-laws presented a voucher on 1st September and it was validated, and then you went on 6th September the validation system would show that the purchaser had used one that month already.

    I've never tried it though...you never know, it could work.
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    Dear stoneman and duchy -

    From the bottom of our hearts, thank you guys for first mentioning then and helping me with my AA platinum challenge.

    Having checked in online Tuesday morning and printed our boarding passes for our family trip to the US, we checked our bags yesterday morning at LHR and made oru way to the gate. When we presented our boarding cards at the desk at the gate we were told our seats had been changed. Of course we immediately thought that there was going to be some sort of seat-related tragedy - but no...upgraded to business!

    We were gobsmacked...it was awesome. :)

    Thanks again very, very much. The $200 was going to be worth it for the free 2nd bag for each of us...plus the priority seats and boarding...now it's just ridiculously good value. Last time we flew home from Vegas via ORD we were offered upgrades for $500 each.

    Brilliant, wish we had that only once in our lives. I hope you had the ice cream trolley after dinner, the best part IMHO
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.
