ah but if you want to see LA you have a perfect excuse now .

i know LA isn't everyones cup of tea and has it's problems but you HAVE to Visit it once in your life at least

Agreed - and we've done it when we wanted to stay a night in LA to visit a friend in LA...but for the sake of saving £200 alone, certainly if the plan is to drive straight to Vegas after landing, it's not for us.

Wer'e currently at the Carriage House, just behind MGM. All afternoon there has been major emergency activity. Seems there has been a chemical spill near the lazy river with 10+ people overcome by fumes and the area evacuated.

The road behind the Carriage House has been closed for emergency vehicle access. A news van and news helicopters at the scene.

Hope no one from on here is involved!:(

Latest from Fox5 news

LAS VEGAS -- County officials in Las Vegas say a chemical leak at the MGM Grand pool sent 12 people to the hospital and made it difficult for about 100 people to breathe.

Clark County spokeswoman Stacey Welling said Friday that about 200 people were evacuated from the pool area of the hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip.

MGM Resorts International spokesman Alan Feldman said the leak was caused when a chlorine injector valve malfunctioned.

Feldman said paramedics were called immediately and officials set up an area to treat victims.

County fire officials also responded.

Welling said the 12 people taken to the hospital were all conscious and alert.

Youre right. Same day would be too much. But for those who have never done it, its reaaaaaaallllllyyyyyyyyyy easy to do. Turn left out of rental garage, left onto freeway, drive 300 miles in a straight line, arrive Caesars Palace.

hey all, another quick question...

My fiance is a veggie, and neither of us like seafood - are there any places that we will be happy to eat in together? lol
I was looking on restaurant.com and the certificates are brilliant. We just want to get a few for places we can actually eat in.

I'm happy with a beer n burger from wetherspoon around the UK and my OH likes salads, baked potato pasta, - cheese n brocolli type meals.

Argh we cannot wait!

P.S She won't be drinking, are prices reasonable on Coke and similar? Or are they close to beer prices as many places over here

TIA
(a very excited) Spike
