    They wouldn't go in my cheap category. I wouldn't say that they are uninspiring either. There are some nice choices on the menus.

    I can't believe I am leaving for Vegas in the morning:j The last few weeks seem to have just flown by. We are staying 3 nights in Venetian and then moving to Encore for the next 5 nights so i'm really excited to be checking out two new hotels. The only thing we have booked at the moment is Love so it will be a kind of go with the flow trip for us although no doubt we'll plan a few things while we're out there. I'm actually looking forward now to turning 30 now, no better place to drown your sorrows than Vegas:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Have a great time Claire! And early Happy Birthday!!

    You have chosen a couple of great hotels there. It's a while since we stayed at the Venetian, but I really liked it at the time. The Encore however is even better and I have booked to go back next year.

    Claire - happy birthday for your 29th (+1)! I turned '29+1' last week but my Vegas birthday trip isn't until September. I hope you have a great birthday, and like me can tell everyone you're 29 for a few years yet (who'll know?!)

    Have a great birthday trip, Claire! Hope you'll tell us about it when you're back. :)
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    Peppermill - as two people commented on the Peppermill thread - "a posher Dennys" - ie 2 steps up from McDonalds dollar menu instead of one. The only things going for it are the huge portions and its open 24hrs a day. Its location is such that you would never go near it unless you were either lost, staying in Circus Circus, or were waiting for the chea ticket place to open.

    I think you're the first person I've seen who doesn't think the Peppermill to be cheap. The food is edible but I'd never dream of recommending it as a must-eat place, especially for someone staying at th other end of the strip!
