If you aren't adverse to a chain jewellers, you could check prices online at the links in this post:

And see how they compare to similar rings in the UK.

I should have said that there's always the chance that they will not have the ring you want in the size you want - so it may be a bit of a risk.

Looking for some advice guys,

We getting married in October in Vegas and just wondering if it would be cheaper to get my wedding ring there or buy it here?

with the weakness of the pound , it could be hit and miss .

loads and loads of jewellers around the Casinos and the Outlet malls .

we wanted a very plain ring , and got one from Kays in the showcase mall .

you could of course have everything in between . Tiffanys are in the Bellagio Mall , and The Forum Mall BTW . (why do i always end up spending money in Tiffanys , if there is one ??? )

Not quite Vegas, but have you considered the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham ? Fantastic choice from dozens of shops (not chains) and very reasonable prices (was 3 years ago anyway).

Re Valet at PH. Go as directed by others but let me tell you it is a hell of a long wait to get your car back!! We now go to the Miracle Mile shops Valet which is just before the hotel valet when you are underground, it is not much more of a walk into the casino (but no good if checking in) and there is never more than a few cars parked there. It closes around 1-2am but beleive me, we have parked loads of times in the normal valet and it is by a long way the slowest we have ever come accross.

Thanks for the additional info...we normally self-park most places (except when checking in) as we hate waiting for the car...so it sounds like it's going to be a toss up between being annoyed waiting for valet or being annoyed at the distance to our room.
