Does anyone have any particular restaurant recommendations? I would like to go somewhere really nice for one night with a view - I'm thinking the Mix @ Mandalay Bay, Alize or Top of the World?

Not a recommendation as we've never eaten there, but just wanted to add that if you are considering Mix or any of the other restaurants at Mandalay Bay, check out restaurant.com for vouchers. Mix is definately on there along with a few others.

My currency was delivered this morning from Crown Currency Exchange. Got a rate of $1.74 and the rate at the time I ordered was $1.52 which is the same as the current rate.

Thought I had ordered about half my expected spend in cash, but I was thinking in sterling instead of dollars so with what we had left from our last trip we should have enough for the 2 weeks gambling and tips so shouldn't need to withdraw at the ATM.

Meals and shopping all go on the credit card.

2 weeks on Friday till we go!

Luci, I know you have said before but how do you get it delivered on a saturday?

I opted for delivery on Monday, 12 April as I had read elsewhere that it is often delivered on the previous Saturday and it worked! It was delivered here at 8.40am this morning so no need for an early morning trip to the sorting office to pick it up.

Our sorting office is only open 07.00-14.00 so a bit inconvenient.

I have to phone mgm signature to cancel my booking because it was booked over the phone and it won't let me do it online.do I have to explain why i am cancelling. I've got a better deal through the guestbook sign up.

No you don't have to give and reason and they probably won't ask for one as people cancel and rebook in Vegas all the time.

What is the deal/rates you have got and for which dates? There have been a few offers lately that normally beat anything on the MGM site.

I signed up for the emails through guestbook .originally we were paying $97 plus resort fee and tax and if we pay $99 plus we can have $50 beverage credit aswell. I thought it was worth the $9 extra.This is for 14/6/10 4 nights $533 all in.

That's EXPENSIVE for the MGM. I'm getting a Celebrity Spa Suite for only $389 for 4 nights and that's with 2 weekends nights.

Using the Crazy 8's offer you can get your 4 nights for $274 + tax. There is no resort fee at the MGM so I don't know where you are getting that from.

Play CRAZY 8'S!

* 2 for 1 daily buffet
* 2 for 1 drinks at the four main bars
* 2 for 1 admission to Studio 54 or Tabu
* 2 for 1 gym access

* 8 ways to play and save in 2010!
