Earlier in the year I read (on here. I'm sure) that the lion exhibit at MGM was going to close - did this happen?

I also haven't heard of the Tudor Rose, but have heard of the Desert Rose which is behind Hooters and not far from the MGM. It gets good reviews and I think they include a snack type breakfast.

The top end of the strip to me is towards Downtown as that's north. MB and MGM are at the bottom (south) end.

I agree, it's really quite close to MGM (via the side door where the check in is). They do do breakfast Luci, and weekdays they also do free 'managers reception' around 5pm or so which is supposedly snacks, wine and beer for free! I was thinking about it, but made other choices this time. It does get good reviews, and has kitchen. It's definitely on my list!

That was over on Open Vegas. It was in April and consensus was that it was a single poster with an April fools joke. AFAIK it's still going bt haven't been down that end of the strip for ages

Hi all,

More questions! Flying out on Sunday and we'd like to catch some shows while over there. Want to do Jersey Boys, Terry Fator and the Beatles Love show. Also trying to persuade my better half to go see Barry Manilow but I think she is worried that her image will be tarninshed forever if her friends fine out

I've seen Jersey Boys is 99$ for ochestra seats on a recent offer which seems good as these are the best seats (apparently)

In other peoples' experiences is it best to pre book any of the shows I've mentioned or just try to get a bargain when I get there. I don't think the half price tickets booth sells tickets for those shows or at least it's not on their site and I don't want to miss out as it's a once in a lifetime chance for some of them for me

Thanks again for all the advice so far everyone!

Personally I would stay at Excalibur for £300 over the Strat for £255 - you'll likely spend the extra in transport being so far north...not to mention the immediate area around Excalibur is a bit nicer than around the Strat.

Agreed 100%.
Stay at Excalibur. Not Strat. Far far better location.

Looks like good decision on our part to get Crown currency to give us $1.67 for delivery on the 15th. of Sept. But it could of course all change by then.

I got all mine from crown at 1.52

We booked the $99 Front Orchestra seats for Jersey Boys. It was an excellent place to see the show from. We really enjoyed it.

I haven't see the other two shows, but friends have told me not to get the 1st category sets for Love because you miss some of it being too close.
