I think Luci tried it earlier this year with little success. I could be wrong though.

We went to Vegas as part of a west coast swing in May. (From Scotland!)

We did a Grand Canyon from Las Vegas with grand-adventures.com. Our tour guide was Julio who had absolutely loads of information and clearly a lot of passion for the job - as well as some innovative posing ideas for photos.

For those of us that use the internet while we are in Vegas
Has anyone looked into the price of a USA PAYG dongle....
Would this be a cheaper way of getting internet access while abroad
PAYG dongles are fairly cheap in the UK Argos sell one for £25 with 3mb use and £15 credit.....Just wondering if there is a similar option available in the US....save paying hotel broadband fees

Yes ferf got me the Virgin Boradband2Go dongle before I left the UK. Tried to set it up, but it wouldn't accept my UK credit card to buy bandwidth online.

However you could buy a top up card from Best Buy for $20 and I can't see that being a problem.

It wasn't suitable for me as I wanted the 1GB top up which is only available online.

It's been posted before but worth reposting that Cirque can be had for $50 through this link:


i think that is for all shows except 'O'

If you're unsure of what seat to choose, i'd recommend looking at this article:

Hi,

Going to Vegas for my 4th time in a few weeks and taking my other half and a mate, ive tried to book tickets using this link but when it comes to paying via credit card you have to put a billing address which only allows us state codes. tried putting uk or Nv and it rejected the payment as it doesnt match the bank check i suppose. Any ideas?

Well that's the endo of that idea then....Just thought it might work out cheaper than paying hotel fees that's all.....I'm sure there must be a cheaper way to do it other than carting your laptop around until you find a free Wifi hotspot

I think it was mentioned on here that you can just phone the box office and tell them the website isn't processing your credit card and tell them what offer it is... they will let you buy the tickets over the phone no problems (you may have to phone the show box office direct as opposed to ticketmaster...? (although they may even be the same thing!))

again, i'd recommend following the advice here and try to get them to give you a seat within (or near) the areas suggested:

you can do a google image search for seating plans for the various shows - then you can have it to hand to check where the alternative you're offered is
ie.:

In case anyone hasn't seen it already...

Travelex are a holding a currency flash sale from 4-5pm tomorrow on the dollar. They will apparently be attempting to be market leaders on currency purchases between these hours so it's worth checking out.

Not surw what would be cheaper but you could think about buying an ipod touch (or something simular) that allows you onto the internet. being much small than a laptop, it would fit in your pocket when you walk to a free wi-fi spot!!! also good for the plane, with your own music, games and movies on there!!
