Virgin to do direct flights from MAN to LAS from April next year http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5i4ogkS6v4b3fRrXD-EbB6DW9PGkQ

I've heard some bad things on here about the Virgin planes that go direct to Vegas, I've read the articles and they say "four-engine Boeing 747-400" will be used - are these the same planes that are used from Gatwick.

I think the Manc planes are the same bucket and spade planes as the Gatwick fleet. For proper VS planes, you ned to fly from Heathrow.

How odd - we spent 5 nights at Paris and loads of time in the casino and never saw the Queen slots there.

Think we're at cross purposes I was talking about the Wizard of Oz (located just across from the resturants enterance at Paris)

Not sure when NVH pics were taken but I think the conservatory changes 4 times a year with the seasons

Edit

looks like pics were taken fall 2009, they are now on spring 2010 until may 9th.

Same type of plane but depends on model/upgrade (I think). Maybe they will ship the gatwick fleet to Manchester:D and replace the gatwick fleet with new planes:j

unfortunately, that photo was taken ageees ago (it seems!) - was April 2009... the schedule for the conservatory this year is:



Bellagio's Conservatory & Botanical Gardens' 2010 Calendar

• Chinese New Year Exhibit: January 10 - February 28
• Spring Celebration: March 7 - May 9
• Summer Garden Party: May 16 - September 12
• Harvest Show: September 19 - November 29
• Holiday Display: December 5 - January 4, 2011

So you'll see the "Summer Garden Party"


edit1: PhotoMe beat me to it! However it was from April

edit2: Froggit, just seen your post - that particular photo is from Dec 2006 - i have no idea which tower that would be

OK who out of HET does the best brunch!!
The 24 hour buffet pass could be our downfall. Brunch at PH at 11am on Saturday, bit of late brunch at Caesars because the brunch is on till 4pm, then late dinner somewhere and back to Flavers at 10am Sunday morning for another brunch, lovely jubbly!!!

We think we will be using it for a late dinner, breakfast, an early afternoon snack for OH and probably just drinks for me, and then an earlier dinner.

I really like Flavors for dinner, but not too keen on the Spice Market even though I love their breakfast. Thinking of trying Paris for dinner as we have never had dinner there. Not sure if we will try breakfast there as we haven't enjoyed it the last couple of times even though it has a good reputation.

Will have to remember about Cafe Lago. We loved it for dinner the first time we went, but the second time it was dismally bad so we have never returned and there wasn't that long between visits.

Question, on Saturday and Sunday when the brunches start at 11am, I have been looking and it doesn't seem as though the casinos do early breakfast on those days, is that correct?

From 07.00-11.00 there is the normal breakfast buffet, at least at Flavors, which suits me fine as I don't like champagne so a brunch is a bit of a waste for me.

I'm going from Manchester with Thomas Cook, staying at New York New York, seeing Barry Manilow on Sunday 6th. I was gutted when I saw your post about KA not being on. Think I'll see Love instead or maybe La Reve.
