The Bellagio Fountains

i can only seccond what was said earlier
careful using Trip advisor, a lot of the reviews are either posted by the hotels themselves or by really fussy people (americans!)
lol
the thing to always do is check other peoples reviews see what they have siad about other things

I just wanted to say thanks to some of the posters on here, have booked a week at the Bellagio and flights myself rather than going through a company for September so hopefully may even see some deals before I go, anyone any tips on going to or getting to the Grand Canyon, thinking of a heli tour etc so just wonderded on prices etc and has anyone been to the glass walkway (is it called skywalker), if so again how much is it etc, cheers guys, I'm sure I'll be asking more questions over the next few months

I haven't as I'd read so many bad reviews about it and how expensive it was.

Edited to add, a trip to the south rim would be less expensive and a much better experience, I think...we drove, but coach tours are available.

And we flew to South Rim GC Airport, and had a bus tour around the National Park.....on Boxing Day it was minus 17 degrees and felt like my eyeballs were freezing.

Proper trip to GCA by air I reckon would cost the same as a heli to the West Rim with a Skywalk (no photos etc).

This made me laugh out loud...and people wonder why I prefer the weather in the UK to the weather the places I lived in the US.

If anyone's after an Archos 605 to watch videos in-flight, I know of one available, PM for details.

Thanks Lorraine, it's appreciated.

I did mean to post a brief review of the IP as people don't tend to pay much attention if the reviews are a year or two old. I did post ones for a couple of our other hotels, just not the IP.

Just booked our tickets to see the Lion King in September. We have one comped night at the Excalibur that night so will save us tackling strip traffic on a busy Saturday night.

Will probably eat at the Sherwood Cafe after the show as the restaurants at Mandalay Bay look really expensive even with the restuarant.com certificate.
