Definitely get a taxi. The shuttles are about $7.50 pp and it might take ages to get there if you're not the first drop off.

This might be useful to see how much your taxi will cost. I think it is updated pretty regularly.

Also if you request "No Tunnel" and they take you that way anyway, then you can report them and refuse to pay the full price. The details are all on the link I posted above.

another one for taxi prices if it helps to compare. It shows the suggested route as well.

Does anyone know if I can take my wedding dress on the plane as hand luggage. If so which airlines allow this or can you pay extra to do it?

Hi folks,

Just thought I'd pop in & say hello since I'm paying $9.95 a day for access.

The weather is still superb - forget what I said the other day about it was easier the deal with thatn I though - y'day & last night was very hot with virtually no breeze.

I must admit we're enjoying this new chilled out approach to Vegas. We spent a few hours y'day morning at he pool & we're just back in from todays visit to the pool. We spilt it 2 hours in sun & then hit the shaded pool otherwise we'll burn - well I would as Liz tans well.

This is not a report - just a chat but I must tell you we went to Le Reve last night - WOW - what a fantastic show. From the 1st minute to the last - definitely our favourite show over our 3 visits. :T

Just chilling now & will hopefully catch up with Luci before The Killers gig in a few hours - really looking forward to this.

Bye for now. :beer:

I am still kicking myself for not booking the offer penny posted that was similar but had $50 freeplay when I could. I'd love to try it out - but as it would just be for one night as a taster even with the current promo prices minus freeplay it still seems more than I really want to pay to try a place out.

They had a 129 dollar offer that included free tickets to Phantom a couple of months ago. Hope they have something similar for feb 8-12 in next few mths.

Hi All,

I know this has proabbly been asked before but has any one used cityandshow.com its just I was looking at lowcostlasvegas.com and cityandshow.com they look to be both the same company but the same hotel and sames dates on cityandshow.com are cheaper than that on lowcostvegas.com.

Maybe me just been paranoid but I dont want to pay get all that way to be told, no sir u dont have a room

Thanks
Matt
