Mandarin Oriental has a kettle in the rooms, and a selection of complimentary teas

Dont get me started on tea..........as I said I was in Detroit last week staying at a fairly upscale hotel. Breakfast......OJ, toast and tea please. Waitress came over with one of those shiny wooden boxes with selection of teas in it. Peppermint tea, camomile tea, green tea......whole load of barmy stuff. No English breakfast in sight. Not even Lipton. Will take my PG with me next time.

What is the best hotel for a Vegas virgin?(it is mine and the Mr's first holiday together EVER so would like it to be special and would like to be on strip).
Can anyone give me a guide on money? How much to take? We would like to eat out a lot, shop a little, have the odd flutter and maybe a show or 2.

Thanks in advance

Oh and a budget of £1500 ideally(not including spends, obviously!)

First thing to do is read the first page of this thread.

As for all your questions you will get different answers from everyone.

How much do you want to spend on a hotel?

Do you want to do a package or like most on here hotel and flight seperately

How much cash do you want to take ?

What is your overall budget ?

Flights are released 11 months in advance so check in Nov. If flight prices are around £500 then what you have left (£500) is enough for a very good hotel for a week.

Could get one of the upper end hotels with that budget with a bit of luck, but it does all depend on the flight price

If you are going to go down the booking seperately route, the best hotel deals are usually about 3 months before so you have a long time to wait yet

It is no wonder that American Cabin Crew refer to Brits as "tea pots".

Anyone seen Zumanity or La Femme? Me and the missus would like to see a adult show and these names comes up a few times.

You will get a load of different answers so be prepared for more than 3 of each.

Shows - Jersey Boys, Love, Human Nature. Cheaper show - Legends in Concert although I haven't seen it for a couple of years to know if it's still as good
Food - what is your budget per head exc drinks? Mon Ami Gabi at Paris is good. The Bellagio and Wynn buffets.
Attractions - the Bellagio fountains

We also take our own teabags everywhere and I have a couple in my handbag in case I get that crappy Lipton's stuff.

Tea at buffets and restaurants is never hot enough so I've stopped asking for it. However the best cups of tea I've had in Vegas have been from the cocktail waitresses and that's in several different casinos.
