Going Vegas In 7 Weeks

I have noticed the £ to the $ is pretty lame at the minute. Is it best to get my spending money over in Vegas or other here in the UK.

Any help will be much appreciated :money:

    If we knew the answer to this we would all be making a mint on the currency exchanges!

    There is an article from MSE Martin on holiday money here:

    I dunno if you're going over for the Hatton fight but here's a tip.
    Go to Ballys Casino just past the Paris and you'll find a tequila bar which does half-price tequilas,nachos and dips during their happy hour.
    They are the biggest and strongest tequila cocktails I've ever tasted and you can get nicely wasted for less than £15
    It's a great start to the night.
    good luck.

    I take it you all missed the bloody great big Las Vegas thread then?

    Just look up a bit, its the one with over 5000 replies and nearly 500,000 views.

    Do we really need another Vegas thread?

    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.

    Got out the wrong side, "Bully" Baz? Ahhhhhhh, shame.

    If you took the trouble to read the op, (which is the posters first ever on MSE), although Vegas is mentioned in the title you would have seen it was a request for help over currency, and not Vegas specific at all.

    You don't have to post any reply at all, but if you are going to, why not just try and help instead of just being a badmouthed jobsworth/frustrated traffic warden?

    And shame on stoneman for clicking the "thanks" button in your post.

    You have posted here over 1100 times, whereas this was matt172's very first!

    Hope you are pleased with yourself pressing thanks to a rude, foulmouthed and totally unnecessary response - then posting yourself to boast about it!

    Yes,if there's one show you must see in Vegas it is Cirque Du Soleil - there are actually three of them running and I can't remember which one I saw on account of the above-mentioned Happy Hour but I do know it was the best live show I've ever seen.
