Code TPWW2

Two nights free 16-24 December. Free Spa access included.

I dont know the casino or the hotel there, but I can highly recommend the shops there....its one of only a few outlet malls with a Hollister, and it was absolutely dirt cheap.....bought bags and bags of stuff for the tadpoles and Mrs Frog. Also has a Juicy Couture outlet, again very cheap. Pick up aq coupon book for additional discounts at the juicy. Also many of the same shops as the two malls in Vegas eg Hilfiger, Coach etc.

Buffalo Bills is currently closed for a refurb, it is expected to be open in time for Christmas, one of the additions they're putting in is a Denny's. I've stayed there a few times as part of a meander to Vegas from LA via Laughlin.

If the roller coaster is running the kids will love it as it rips through the centre of the casino, there is also a log flume and kids entertainment area. Buffet is reasonable quality and prices. Who knows there may be a big name act on in the arena. Whiskey Petes the other side of I15 from BB's is a lot older but has some character, definitely blue rinse brigade territory but the cafe is one of the better breakfast venues I experienced as a whole, plus the fun of playing $2 keno with a granny telling you what to do whilst munching your links and hash browns!

PVR is linked to the shopping mall all sorts of fast food to make the kids throw up, but you gotta do it. If they're boys they'll get a kick out of the Herbst desert racing cars/ buggy's etc?

Also inside the casino itself they can catch up with Bonnie and Clyde, a small exhibition to stroll around, they do have the actual getaway car that was seriously shot up when they were killed, bloodstains and all.

Dear All

I want to buy a SIM card so as soon as I arrive at the airport I could used it directly to contact people.

Where could I buy this SIM card here in the UK or even buy it online ?

Does anybody know whether you can get for free (or a refundable deposit) a wheelchair if you are just going round a hotel rather than staying there?
My partner has mobility problems walking short distances is not a problem but most of these hotels (or rather the shops ) are massive and she could easily overdo it and pay by being imobile the next day.

I believe you can loan a chair from some of the hotels. They require a credit card imprint so that they can charge you if you damage it or steal it.

Hi All

I am going Vegas for the first time with my girlfriend on Saturday. Ive left it a bit late to get some advice i know. We have a list of free things to see, like the pirate show, the fountain at the Bellagio, etc. Want to do the gondolas, and the rides at stratosphere, see a show etc etc. Any advice on what we should do/see where we should eat, where to grab any last minute deals, on activities or food, or where we can grab deals when were out there. We are staying at the MGM and coming home on the 15th so want to do as much as we can in the short time we have there.

Thanks for all your advice in advance.

Shows.....we enjoyed Jersey Boys and KA over all the others we have seen.

Look at page 1 for recommended foodies and discount vouchers and list of other things to do eg Gun store, Canyon, Hoover dam, nyny roller coaster, ethel m chocolate, tix4tonite, mon ami gabi, cheesecake factory. even places like the shoppes at venetian/palazzo are spectacular......same with caesars forum shops. try the outlet malls. in fact ive just remembered my map with things to do on it...... http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=105863286002279699212.0004692e030c9f2196755&ll=36.120405,-115.167446&spn=0.065588,0.1684&z=13

Skip the Pirate boat !!! pure cheesy tosh . Volcano @ Mirage is better bet for a quirky attraction .

Don't try and do everything , you cannot do it in a week .
