just out of interest i know that if ur gambling then you can order free drinks (with a tip) from the waitress but can u order any drink? or any but just not fancy ones? what do u guys recommend as the best vegas drink?

Our favorites are both at Bellagio - Bellagio Cocktail (sparkling wine, Alize Red Passion, passion fruit coulis), and Peach Bellini (prosecco and peach puree I think).

If not at Bellagio it's usually a mojito like duchy, strawberry daquiri, Amaretto sour or a beer.

In some cases you'll find that the free drinks won't be as strong as those you order from a bar and if you want top shelf spirits you may get knocked back depending on what you are playing and for how much...but other than that it's usually whatever you want.

Because they are amazingly comfortable

Just to add they are also bad for your feet, no support.

Heels aren't good for your feet either :rotfl::rotfl:

As a male who has to look at these Uggs.....why do you ladies buy them, IMO they are the ugliest piece of footwear on the market..well apart from Crocs.:D.

Heels are so much nicer;) trainers are ok for the day tho:)

Leave the Crocs alone! They are ideal for identifying people to avoid - the equivalent item to the male football shirt.

On the topic of drinks, it usually takes us to the last couple of days to find a really good drink and then we've usually forgotten it by the next trip. Last trip was something like a strawberry dacquiri but with no alcohol, julias something.... very tasty. lol

I sometimes have a White Russian. Other favourites are Long Island Iced Tea and Jack and Seven.

Slowly getting a bit if a TR together. It's taking forever!

You can order any drink you fancy, including cocktails. The CW will tell you if they don't do them.

We order all different things depending on the time of day and how we feel - White Zin or Chardonnay if we fancy wine, paralyzer or Adios MF for a cocktail, vodka and Red Bull, Baileys and coffee or just a coffee or tea.

I picked up a pair in there to last month, grey cardi ones, not the ones I really wanted but as they were only about £75 I couldn't really say no

Well it would have been rude not to!

Just wanted to add to the list my positive experience with Crown Currency. I'm another one who went with them due to recommendations on this thread.

Dollars were ordered for today in the hope they would arrive Saturday which they did, all shiny new notes and a good range of denominations, though just read that 50's are unlucky and have quite a few!!!!

Very pleased with the service, have now recommended a friend and looking forward to some clotted cream (not gone mad, they send it if your friend uses them apparently!):beer:
