Guys,

Wheres the best place to look for mamamia tickets? going in May? and how do i know if its not dark when we are going? Where does it show?

Probably prefer to get tickets booked before we go i think rather than a booth.

any help appreciated....

Mamma Mia close on the 4th January. It is being replaced by the Lion King in May/June.

Hi,

I am coming to Vegas on the 16th April and really want to stay at Planet Hollywood as I have heard very good things.

I am trying to find the best deal possible. There are 9 of us in total (3 in each room). Does anyone know of any good offers?

We have not booked the hotel yet but we would prefer to either stay at the hard rock, Flamingo or Palms as we believe this is where the younger generation hang out (21-30). Am I correct in thinking this and what hotel would you suggest for 9 25yr old British guys?

I have been to Vegas many times now and have always been fed up of queing up for the nightclubs. What is the best way to get round this and where can I get the best deals?

Look forward to hearing from people.

Thanks,

Dan

It's - think that luci's is missing an s - it's:

Oh, and we booked several weeks in advance since space is limited...ours wasn't full (10, they take 12) but we had 4 people and needed to go on a Saturday. I found that they were really friendly if you email them to see if advance booking is necessary.

Thanks ferf. I had scribbled it on a Post It when you first posted it, but obviously got it wrong. Still considering it for April/May, but hubby's not keen.

Well I have booked the Signature tonight for my last 3 nights at $129 + $20 resort fee. Is that a good price or can I expect to better it nearer the time?

Also booked to see Tom Jones. We have been watching for his April/May dates to come out for ages and they appeared yesterday. He starts a run the day before we go home, how lucky is that? Managed to get front row seats, but we won't be throwing any knickers. The tickets have jumped in price as we were only $75 last time and they're $92.40 this time.

Well, just gone and booked for Vegas end of April. Managed to get probably the last of the direct BMI flights from Manchester.

Going for 7 nights, staying in the Red Room Luxury at Paris Hotel. Anyone here been in these rooms ? Says they are on the highest floors and sounds like they maybe recently refurbished. They certainly look OK and the location is probably as good as anywhere else on the strip, for what we want anyway.

That looks about the price we paid in November. I really enjoyed his show, and I was only going to keep Tony happy. The cocktails run at around $15 with a souvenir glass included. Daft thing is, the glasses are $15 to buy if you don't get a drink. The Frou Frou drink I got was lovely. Probably not worth $15, but the glass is nice.

In the small print it says that the waitress tips are included, so DON'T tip if you get a drink. Loads of people were tipping so the waitresses (or someone) were getting paid twice.

does anyone know roughly how much flights will cost i have done a check and have found virging doing some for about 350 is this realistically the cheapest we will get them for? thanks x

ps sorry for all my posts

Don't wait

Book at £350 if you want to go direct!!! now ! now ! now ! .

the price will only go up from now on and £350 is a very good price IMO . okay i really do not like that flight out of Gatwick , but it is now the only flight you can book direct , now and get a decent baggage allowance . The My Travel / Thomas cook flights will not drop to very cheap levels after May.

also don't forget the Quidco cash and to join the flying club and collect the miles for this flight

like i always say sort the flight and the Hard work is done. you can book a hotel deal that is refundable as fall back after purchasing your flight , but be prepared to wait till about 12 weeks out before you book the offer the you end up using. all the links you need for the hotel offers are in post #1

as you are obviously new to the Las Vegas thing , rest assured , Vegas will not sell out of Hotel rooms in June.

as for where .

Bellagio Wynn and Venetian may well be out of reach if your on a budget .

but consider all of the following

New York New York
Luxor
Mandalay Bay
MGM Grand
Planet Hollywood
Mirage
Paris
Caesars ( try to avoid a classic room though)
Ballys
Treasure Island ( although it remains to be seen what new owners do with it)

if Money is tighter still consider

Flamingo
Harrahs
Imperial Palace ( research it first though)

and as a last resort

The Trashy Castle ( AKA The Exaclibur)

unless money is unbelivably tight avoid

Stratosphere
Sahara
Rivera
Tropicanna
Hooters

also Monte Carlo because of the Construction next door.
