Hi, as part of our wedding package we've got a $200 credit for food and drink in caesars. We're looking for somewhere a bit upmarket to take the parents the night before the big day.

I quite like the look of Bradley Ogden or Neros, has anyone been to either of these before, or could recommend another restaurant?

cheers

well, for the third year in a row we find ourselves going back to vegas (and posting on this thread!!)
2009 was our wedding
2010 first anniversay
2011 just for the bloody hell of it!!

used a combination of my BA miles and the wifes tesco points to go on British Airways on WT+ return for £535 each + 90,000 miles. flew virgin PE to vegas this year so will be intersting to see the comparison, especially as i didnt feel the virgin flight was half as bad as some have said.

this will also be our longest time in Vegas, 17 nights in total. Dont wanna wish my life away but I cant bloody wait to go and we're not even in 2011 yet!

we're off on june 15th, about 2 weeks later than we have been before.

a long time to wait, but gives me plenty of time to perfect my 'sprinting with a crash helmet on' technique.....

Any ideas on where to get married, which involves being picked up by limo, taken to the place (chapel or gazebo), having the marriage done and receiving your photos on CD (dont need any printed), just the images on CD so i can print them myself at Asda/tescos when i get back....
And the cost being under $450 ? (that cost including the Ministers fee of around $70 and a tip for like $30 for the limo driver) Aiming for a Tuesday wedding (like 7th June!)

got married at chapel of flowers on the garden/gazebo package. that was slightly more then $450 but they do have cheaper packages. their photo deal for all pics on CD wasnt included and was available for about $500 i think for all photos

Hate to tell you this but there is no comparison. BA WT+ is pants compared to VS, that is not an opinion, it is a fact. If you have 25000 BA miles spare try and upgrade to CW using MFU (miles for upgrade) even if you only have 12500 do it one way. Honest, WT+ is the worst "premium" option I have ever encountered.

I have to second what Stoneman says I work for Virgin so obviously im going to say it lol

Virgin Premium Economy is much better
