Hi,

Got bit of a different question from normal but no luck after searching online - does anyone know where I can buy a genuine Caesars Palace whiskey tumbler as there have almost been tears in my household tonight (not from me!) after our souvenir holiday one broke.

Thanks for any advice however not getting my hopes up!

Ebay would be a good option I think - though many auctions will be out of the US so shipping may be a bit pricey - doesn't seem like it should be too much, though...otherwise perhaps someone here would pick one up for you next time they are there.

Thanks, tried there and no luck (tonight at least) and have also emailed the hotel to see if they have any online outlets anywhere! Otherwise it seems a good excuses for another trip over there...!!! And no, it is not for a child, he's 27 years old...

Realised I was 2000 miles short on my Delta account for elite status for next year so have used AA miles Heathrow to Vegas -returning JFK to Heathrow and paid £60 for Vegas to JFK on Delta to top up the Delta account with the required miles.
Hotel is yet another Orleans freebie -that's my 3rd free stay with them this year and I honestly don't gamble much.
Booked to see Donny and Marie at the Flamingo-handy that the Orleans shuttle has gone back to dropping off at Bills again.
ict quizzer if the hotel sells them and you can wait a month I can bring you a glass back
Christmas shopping is in Vegas this year Yay

Don't really know what you mean by "certified". We got givin our marrige certificate when we wed at the drive thru in the Little white wedding chapel,($40 all in) they send the legal stuff over to the Licencing department in Vegas and they send you another certificate to your home address in the U.K. Job done, nothing more to do this end. Just make sure if you have been married before to take your [STRIKE]decri nisi[/STRIKE] paperwork with you.

I didn't think they needed anything relating to previous marriage if you live outside US. That will really mess me up as I don't know what I've done with my absolute. I'd better start looking.

Here's the website for Clark County marriage licence division.

Seems to just say you need to know the date, etc and don't have to have the actual document with you.

not flown with them BUT

with stopping in Glasgow does this make it pretty much the same as a one stop flight . okay i know you don't have to collect luggage ect at Glasgow but i remember someone saying they were on the tarmac at Glasgow for over an hour .

personally i would rather have the cheaper fare with a USA carrier ( which will almost certainley have a better luggage allowance )

Hi trets!
It was probably me who was moaning about being stuck on the tarmac at Glasgow for over an hour! It was our first flight with My Travel (in 2007) and I didnt even know that we stopped mid flight as, at that point, they were selling the flight as "direct". There were lots of other people on the flight too who were VERY annoyed - I remember that.

The return journey would be direct for us as they stop at Manchester first - which together with the excellent flight times is the appeal for me. My OH just wants an easy life lol.

I have been reading various reviews on other sites and apart from the Premium seats most people say avoid like the plague! I am nearly decided that I wont be booking those flights but will wait for some more feedback on here if anyone replies.
Thanks again, Steff;)

I don't see the advantage of the charter when it has a stop but you're stuck on the plane.
I'd rather have a slightly longer stop -get off the plane clear customs and immigration get back on the next flight and then upon arrivial at Vegas just grab my bags and go instead of a possible long queue to enter the US there. I also like to go landside when there's time after clearing customs to get a few lungfuls of non processed air outside before continuing too

It makes no sense to stop at Manchester first on the way back - you might want to double check that (if it stopped there first in 2007 there might have been a reason you were not aware of - rather than it being normal).

Seats in cattle class are fine, great pitch nowadays and on most of their A330's they are all mostly 2-3-2 or 2-4-2 plans. (There's a Danish website that shows you the exact layouts)

I didn't think all June flights stopped at Glasgow ..no chance at all of altering dates by 3/4 days?

Not long until we go now! Flying on Saturday morning.

We will be booking shows and the Grand Canyon tour when we are there as I think that would be a better bet.

Got the money - we used Crown so thank you forum :T

One last thing, are there any special must do's and must nots? We have an intinery which accounts for most of the larger hotels, a couple of shows and the GC.
