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

Thank you, done a bit of digging and found that there is a walmart about 4 miles from the mgm grand and they according to the website do phones for as little as $10. Dont know if this is big stores only so will prob use frys as it comes recommended:T

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?

I think I paid $19.95 for mine and $29.95 for the missus both with $10 of airtime for the gas station about 3 miiles South of Mandalay Bay

Is that the 7/11 by the cowboy boot store, or not as far as that? I think there is a Terribles down that way as well.

Thanks for the link, I think I downloaded that one earlier tonight. Thought there would be more on the net to be honest.

Anyway, I've made a few Tomtom POI files myself tonight, based on the Las Vegas area:

* Shops - Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, Kmart, Borders, Frys, Target, Walmart, Walgreens
* Restaurants - Chili's, IHOP, In-N-Out, Krispy Kreme, Cheesecake Factory
* Hotels - Most of them in one list

If anyone wants a copy of these, send me a PM and I'll email them to you.

Found a decent website tonight for TomTom POIs:

It's not just Vegas, so may come in handy if anyone's planning a US roadtrip.

I am also interested in learning this. Is it possible to buy a sim card with some credit and use it (like in the UK) with a triband unlocked phone?

TIA.

As for phones I bought one of the trizones I think it was called and my verizon sim works in it fine,my verizon is on contract but don't think that would make any difference
Good luck
