Any places you recommend we go to?
How much spending is sufficient for 2 weeks? (we aren't havy gamblers)
Does booking with a Natwest Mastercard have any benefits?
Are there any cheap places to get Travel Insurance?
What is the best way to exchnage money - here or just withdraw over there?
Anything mini trips/excursions/restaurants we should consider?
Are we allowed to go into other Hotels for a mooch?

Thanks guys!

Like Stoneman says.............post one of this thread is a gem for information.It does take a while to get your head around deals, and the vegas lingo.However I found as a neewbie, that post one told me almost everything I needed to know.Hope this helps.

You can go into any hotel, they positively encourage it.

Don't miss the Bellagio fountains, especially at night.

You may want to visit the Grand Canyon, info on Page 1.

Re travel insurance, be aware that most cheaper policies have high excesses. It is more important to read the policy wording to ensure it provides the cover you want rather than look for the cheapest policy possible.

Thanks guys.

I do have one question. My mate just got back from LV and mentioned that it is best to purchase club tickets (queue jumpers???) beforehand as it can become a very long wait when out there.

I couldnt see anything on Page 1 regarding these types of tickets. Any ideas on where I can get them? And what clubs to check out?

For all those that have been:

1. Is it worth buyign the coupon booklets?
2. Is it possible to fly through the Grand Canyon cheaper than £200 (thats a killer)

There are plenty of magazines free in the taxi's packed with money off coupons as well as around the checking in areas and in your rooms

have a look here

print off your own coupons just make sure they are for the dates you are travelling

Thats looks like an amazing price when compared to some of the links on Page1 that are going for $459+

Helicopter trips will be around that price. Have a look at companies such as papilion, heli usa, maverick,sundance and see what they offer. Obviously you could always drive which is cheaper.
