Las Vegas guide and MSE thread 2016

Lesley - we're there the 10th to 18th, though have a wedding vow renewal with a load of friends from all over for the first half of the trip, but maybe we can arrange something with you guys, too.

We fly with Thomas Cook every time now,they are ok with hand luggage but are very strict on hold luggage coming home....they charge for every kilo over,hence the fact that I pay for an extra case coming back just incase.When we were at the airport coming home in June it seemed everyone I front of us was paying for being over.The meals are crap,I always take something to eat from home and they charge you for alcohol,headphones,films and basically anything that they can....We go in 9 days,so we are there again for Halloween,my favourite time in Vegas!

They were ok with us in June on the way home. We were slightly over the limit (think one case was 23.6kg and the other was around 23.4 kg), but because we had hardly anything in regards to hand luggage, they let us off without charging us anything.
The meals are rubbish, I agree with you there, and the last time we flew - I think it was around 2008 - the drinks & telly/headphones were free. This time it was like if they could have charged for using the bog, they would have. We weren't prepared for the extra charges flying to Vegas, and it seemed like they were forever trying to flog the duty free stuff instead of providing drinks, etc.
Personally, I think if they charge all that to fly all that distance, then you should get everything thrown it. It did seem to be a complete rip off. Btw, don't buy the tea, it's awful, have the hot chocolate instead. .

Anyone got any tips and tips on anything vegas related really, as it's my first time in Vegas. Thanks

have a look at the first page of this thread - loads of stuff there. If you have any more specific questions, I'm sure that there will be people who can give you their view.

does anyone happen to know - the promotion at Ellis Island for new players, the spin to win freeplay...is the freeplay available that day, or do you have to come back for it? We have a group who will be at EI one night, and I was going to suggest it - but it won't work if it's a 'come back another time to get it' thing.

From what others have said, and from the reply to the first time poster on the previous page (same person?), they would have been better doing it all whilst they were in the states at the casino in question

I can't help other than that, but it was worth stating again in case anyone else on here ever gets a good win
