well the dinner plus show package is $69 pp -assuming you can get half price (and are prepared to use up some of your already limited time queuing earlier in the day) add $7 pp for the deuce return (24 hour so you'll use it on the strip too) or $20 each way for taxi.
Personally I'm happy to get the deuce there but get sick of waiting for it late at night and taxi back

Thanks,

I've read mixed reviews about the dinnner and show and was kind of put off tbh, quite fancy the comedian i've read about on here Vinny Favorito, presuming we can see him in June? Think it would be more my cup of tea anyway but given our time limit am humming and haa'ing.. So much to take in my head is spinning..

The Cheesecake Factory is a definate on the list though

Was the first thing I looked up on

Seems from the poll up above that The Bellagio Fountains are popular so will fit in a visit there.

Yeah the fountains are good too, worth stopping by

I highly recommend getting a cheesecake to take out and have back in your hotel room!!!! Well worth it!!!!

Enjoy your time there Skint_Manc!

Thanks everyone for all the advice and recommendations in this thread!!
We just got back yesterday and we have had the time of our lives!

And I am now a married woman.....

I will try to post a bit about what we did and saw while we were there when the jet lag eases a bit xxx

with just 3 nghts in Vegas honestly unless it's someone who is a must see for you-I don't think you'll feel you missed out. Maybe make a shortlist of shows then see if they are on offer either when you re there or on travellzoo or broadway boxoffice before you go ? Plenty of people don't book til the day

I have a planner on 2 sheets of A4 which even has suggestions of where we might eat. I find if I don't do that then I might forget about somewhere I really want to go. We only have Kokomo's and Casa di Amore booked.
I found that on our 4th visit, which was for 10 nights, we just drifted and I was ready for home after 8-9 days. I feel I make the most of it with a plan.

Like luci I always have an itinerary planned for our 14 night trips. Mainly so that we can TRY and fit everything in!!!

We like to play a lot of tournament poker (which can take hours) so I print off the "week view" of the calendar on "Outlook" and have a brief synopsis of each days activity and where we may eat.
Loads of times we have switched days around and sometimes crossed things off completely BUT I really find it helps structure our time so we can enjoy it better - make the most of our coupons and not spend time debating and wondering "what shall we do today then?!".

I also booked The Stratosphere Restaurant three months prior to our trip (as recommended on here) so that we got our preferred eating time and table. Plus, I find planning the trip is really enjoyable and you get a lot more for your money etc.

I have been to Vegas three times now and would still EASILY fill up another 14 nighter - I suppose its my "Monica" streak! (Friends fans out there will know what I mean!!).
