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

No-one can advise you on what you might spend. You could eat at Panda Express for about $8 or Alize for $80. No-one knows how much you would spend on shopping no more than you could tell me how much I might spend.

The odd flutter could be a 1c machine at one line or $50 a hand at blackjack.

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.

Seen Zumanity. Would have had more enjoyment from sticking rusty nails in my eyeballs, and washing them out with sulphuric acid.

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

Anyone else noticed that crew on American owned airlines tend to be "older"?

Agreed - and also better, in my opinion...they're more efficient, friendlier, etc...moreso than on Virgin at least...last time we flew American we had a great steward - he was really cool, really funny, and to watch him clear the trays after the meal was a site to behold - he had it down to an absolute science. The more we fly American the more I wonder why we stuck with Virgin for so long...just a better experience all around we think.

We generally prefer the older cabin crew too. Some of them are lovely, and even remember you from the last trip. We also get better frequent flyer perks than Virgin or Thomas Cook.

Another one who agrees that US cabin crew tend to be older. We also prefer that as they very pleasant to deal with, both efficient and friendly, and not out to "prove" anything.

I think the hardest working cc are American Airlines as they are round constantly with drinks and 3 times with food.

Never seen those ones, but what about Peepshow or Jubilee!? Peepshow is modern, featuring Holly Madison. OH enjoyed it, but I fell asleep as I tend to do with most shows.

Jubilee! is a typical old style Vegas show with showgirls with massive headdresses. Some of there shows are not topless so make sure you check before committing yourself. We really enjoyed it and it was one show I didn't sleep at.
