Hi People,

I want your opinion, looking at a couple of nights at Caesars Palace, now do I go for Forum Tower Deluxe Room which says recent refurb which is $380 or do I go for the Palace Tower Deluxe Room or Augustus Tower Deluxe Room both at $420 opinions most welcome

We stayed in a Palace Tower Deluxe room when we stayed at Caesars (had booked the Forum Tower Deluxe and got an upgrade just for asking nicely)...it was great - huge, massive bathroom with separate soaking tub, but based on the photos I've seen of others here who have stayed in the Augustus Tower it beats the Palace Tower - so if the price is the same then Augustus.

work out how to pre book seat on plane if poss, couldn't work out seat guru last time I looked.

Really, do this ASAP...if you're having trouble with figuring out which configuration the plane you're flying on is let us know what departure airport, airline and flight time and I'm sure someone can work it out for you so you know which of the seat maps to be looking at on seatguru.com...you can select your seats online with quite a few carriers and I like this option as I can have seat guru open in one window and the seating plan for my flight in another and pick the best of what's left. While seat requests aren't guaranteed we feel it's best to get in there as early as we can to have the best shot of the best seats.

Quite honestly if you leave seats much longer you won't need to worry -as there won't be any choice. Do that today !

Agree with prev - he did look bored, but he still did some very good illusions.

It is a mix and match for what people wear. OH just wore casual trousers and shirt for Lion King and it was fine, not sure I saw a suit in there. Are you going soon? It is really hot so you wouldn't want to wear a jacket.

If you like wearing a suit and feel it's nice to dress smart for shows then by all means, go for it.

Personally, one of the things we like best about Vegas is we can come as we are, no worries about dressing up, and chances are we won't be the worst dressed there - we'll be pretty much right in the middle.
