Here are the shows we are intending seeing this trip. The only one I have booked at the moment is Tom Jones. I booked it as soon as it went on sale and got front row seats.

Tom Jones
Comedy Stop at the Trop
Carrot Top
Defending the Caveman
Donny and Marie
Legends in Concert
Le Reve

I'm thinking I should book Donny and Marie before we leave and Le Reve if there is an offer on TravelZoo, the rest I'll book once we're there.

Also intending doing Mystery Adventures Las Vegas and should really get round to booking that as I want to do it on a Sunday afternoon.

We had also planned to see the Lion King, but they pushed back the preview dates. We could have gone on the night it starts at a push, but I didn't want to pay top dollar to watch them do a dress rehearsal.

From everything I've read about the West Wing rooms, only the MGM themselves think they are an upgrade. The consensus on every forum I've seen is that the Grand Tower rooms are much bigger even though the WW rooms may be more modern.

We have stayed in a Grand Tower room and thought it was really good so we're going back again in April.

Thanks. Do you think the "$20 trick" would get us an upgrade to a tower room? Thing is this deal is one of the cheapest i have seen for our 3 nights stay so was thinking i might just book it just incase nothing else cheaper comes along.

Has anyone done this sort of upgrade before, would it be worth doing? Sorry for all the questions, thanks for any feedback in advance.:beer:

Anyone that fancies seeing The blue man group, i have just come across this...........

You can get the BMG 40% off regular prices venetian.com. Use Code "ZOOFEB" I been wanting to see them but didn't want to spend the full price. Yes the coupon says Feb, but I believe it will work for all of March also. I know it is currently [COLOR=green ! important][FONT=verdana,geneva,lucida,&quot][COLOR=green ! important][FONT=verdana,geneva,lucida,&quot]working[/FONT][/FONT][/color][/color] right now.

Blue Zone was $132.00 now $79.20

Shark Reef is at Mandalay Bay...it's an OK exhibit if you've not been to a nice aquarium before but it's a bit disappointing if you have...plus the 47 mile walk to get there is a bit much. The tank at GN does sound cool with the slide, etc.

Did you take the short cut? it was 48 when i went

If you ahvea west wing room just ask fro a Gradn Tower room the $20 trick will not work at the MGM Grand
