Out of the Aria and into the Signature. Couldn't really fault the Aria (apart from the slots not being to our liking!). Excellent high tech room (with everything working). Spot on pools, food and really easy access to the strip (once you figure it out!). Spent all morning lying in bed watching the golf on one of the clearest HD Tv's I've ever seen. Telly in the Sig doesn't compare :-(

Cooling down over the next few days after the guts of a week at 110F+ temps - can't say the temps felt too bad at all though, but the locals were all complaining of the "high" humidity levels (15-305!!!)

Hi guys. I've been looking for Disney tickets for my upcoming LA/Vegas trip, and stumbled upon this:
http://www.attractiontix.co.uk/theatre-tour-details.asp?ID=105600&Name=VIP Dine 4 Less Card Las Vegas

Has anyone used this before? It says the Spice market buffet is included so 1 trip there, for 2, almost covers the cost. A few nice restaurants including Alize, giving 50% off mains or 25% off total food bill are in it too.

I've found the official website and its not as good as i thought as its various %s off up to 50%. Only 20% for the Spice market buffet, which isn't worthwhile as there are $5 off coupons for that. Still, it could be good for those trying the more expensive restaurants. http://dine4lesscard.com/

How long are you going to Disneyland for-when we were there there was a buy a 1 day pass get the 2nd day free-and that was more than enough time to see everything (as it turned out there was an earthquake when we were there and Disney shut the rides down for an hour or so for safety checks -everything was still open tho- we were there all day and all evening -and Disney still gave us a free pass to come back another day to make up for it which we used the following year)

We're in LA for a week. We were going to get 2 day passes but have decided on the 5 day passes as its only an extra £30, and we can be as flexible as we like whilst there.

Am looking to hiring in October driving from Vegas to LAX via Palm Springs. Cheapest rate I can find is from gosimply.com. No mention however of any one way drop off fee on the T&C, anyone used these guys before ?

Will be be picking up from a strip location after 3/4 days in Vegas and dropping off at airport 11 days or so later.

Dont know gosimply are they a broker or just a search engine, have you checked the likes of

Netflights

Carhire3000

From what I can see Gosimply are just a comparison site and not a very good one at that as they only gave me one result per vehicle size
