I've never tried Cafe Bellagio but really enjoyed the Bellagio buffet. What day are you getting married? If it's over the weekend, it'll be busy. I'd make a reservation (if possible - don't think that you can't do this at buffets) and mention it's following your wedding. They might get you a nicer table or something....... A few of he Bellagio restaurants favour anyone staying at the hotel. If you're staying elsewhere, they restrict the times they'll offer you. (OH found this out last year when he booked for Olives and Prime)

I am staying at the bellagio my wedding is on a sat, I am hoping that they will let me pre book so at least we can pay before we get there so this will take one stress off!

I am wanting the buffet as I have some fussy eaters but I am worried stuff will spill on my dress:rolleyes::eek::eek::eek:

Ring and reserve now, there's no deposit needed and if you change your mind, you can always cancel it. I think a lot of people book 3 months ahead, but that doesn't mean you couldn't book it just a few days before. I like to be prepared, so if you know you want to eat somewhere, definately reserve. For Bellagio, I'm sure you can ever book online via their website, so you wouldn't even need to ring them

I don't think you can book a reservation at the buffet but you could email the concierge and ask what they can do for you given that its your wedding. It can't hurt to ask. I've emailed them in the past about reservations when i've stayed there and they were quite quick and helpful at responding as well. You will at the very least be able to get a line pass and skip the queue a bit.

Hi all,
Just a quick query about hiring a car in vegas. We are staying at IP and want a car for 3 days to go to grand canyon before returning to New York New York. i have checked car hire and there is no pick up at IP with dollar so can we arrange to pick up at nearby hotel and then drop off at NYNY. Also are the pick up points actual company desks at each resort so easy to find and is it easy to drop off when bringing back.
sorry if this sounds daft but never hired in US and probably worried about driving and finding my way round never mind the worry of finding pick up and drop off points. Not going until October but want to hire in advance and torn between picking up and dropping at hotels or going to airport to hire .

thanks in advance

why are going all the way to NYNY from The Imperial Palace when you could use the Mirage Dollar CH desk just over the road ( i assume it is still there) .

we picked up a car from here once . The Dollar desk is at check in at the far end ( Don't forget the Mirage Check has a huge fish tank behind it , which worth checking out in it's own right IMO)

The Car's are then in the Mirage self park Lot which is about a 3 min walk away .

you probably won't get Sat Nav at Hotel desks so factor that in . we used Netflights for our hire at the Mirage ( Dollar were the agent Netflights use)

as for getting lost , it can be confusing driving around Vegas . If you don't have a Sat Nav at home and had considered getting one it might be idea to price up one that comes or can be loaded with USA maps .

I have some friends that had their wedding reception at Mandalay Buffet and MB let them prebook so that they did not have to stand in line and reserved an area for them in the buffet so that they were all sat together.You need to call Bellagio and see if they can do the same the last thing you want to do is to have to queue for an hour on your wedding day. +1 (702) 693 7111

Jump on the Deuce and go up past Mand-Bay to Fry's Electrical you are looking around $19.99 each for the phones PAYG

I was thinking of this as well so that I can ring Tracy up when she gets lost in the maze of slot machines. Looked at Fry's website and the cheapest phones I saw were $99. would our unlocked mobiles work if we just bought sim cards?
